The Brain Trust

The Brain Trust is one of the Meorcl quests in The Long Journey Home.

Description
At times, the player can be intercepted my a Meorcl Guard called Royal Guard Tarrataratta. His liege-King Harahhmaggana has been kidnapped to a K'schar laboratory. Because of the psychic powers of the Meorcl, the quest cannot be refused.

Once the Meorcl is on the human ship, the player loses control over which system to space jump to, until they arrive at the system with the laboratory. Before the laboratory can be entered, the turrets surrounding it have to be disabled. The human ship has a slightly larger range than the turrets. Gain some distance and take them out one by one. Entering the laboratory, the player and the Meorcl discovers that the K'schar have developed a device to counter the Meorcl's brainwashing powers. The player then has the opportunity to choose whether to support the Meorcl or the K'schar. If the player decides to help the Meorcl he will receive a Laser Array and the respect increases. If the player decides to side with the K'schar, he receives a Psionic Blocker and the respect decreases.
