New players of <em>Star Trek: Online<\/em> will also hear his voice as they progress through the game&#8217;s opening tutorial. Quinto tried the tutorial himself. &#8220;I did exactly what I told myself to do and I survived,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I passed the mission with flying colors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Quinto will be working on other non-sci-fi projects and hopes that his sci-fi fans will be interested in them as well as in <em>Star Trek<\/em> or other sci-fi interests. &#8220;I want to invite [my fans] along with me on my journey, which is going to take them out of their comfort zone and into other areas and other styles of storytelling,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8288\" title=\"QuintoSTO012710\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/QuintoSTO012710.gif\" alt=\"QuintoSTO012710\" width=\"350\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/QuintoSTO012710.gif 350w, https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/QuintoSTO012710-300x168.gif 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Star Trek XI&#8216;s Zachary Quinto will be away from the world of Star Trek and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413,2443,2401],"tags":[2475,2482],"class_list":["post-8287","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cast-crew","category-merchandise","category-star-trek-xi","tag-quinto","tag-star-trek-online"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/cast-crew\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Cast &amp; Crew<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/merchandise\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Merchandise<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/star-trek-xi\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Star Trek: XI<\/a>","tag_info":"Star Trek: XI","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8287","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8287"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8287\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8290,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8287\/revisions\/8290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8287"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8287"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8287"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
