The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place. - George Bernard Shaw

The I.S.S. Discovery has jumped into the future and the Terrans have plans for the planet Pahvo. Now it's up to you to stop them -- and their ruthless Captain "Killy" -- before they threaten the entire quadrant. Visit the peaceful planet to discover what the Terrans have done and figure out how to break their link with the enigmatic Pahvans, who've never managed to establish successful communication with the Vulcan Science Academy's research teams.

"Illusion of Communication" is the second episode in the new story showing how the accidental displacement of the Discovery has ramifications felt as far afield as the 25th century. This episode continues the storyline for existing captains after the events of the Gamma Quadrant and carries on events after the episode "Para Pacem."
