Story Prompts

The below table shows finished and unfinished Objectives for the Aldea Prime Anthology, the Director's Cut board, as well as the Parallel Universes "What If?" board. These objectives are meant as inspiration towards:

• Completion of Star Trek: Theurgy story elements between Seasons 01 and 02
• Scenes in the past of the story (ranging from Academy years to unseen events during Season 01), as well as...
• Events that might have happened if things had turned out differently (these are not canon, though).

Fulfilling the Objectives lets the writers participating in the thread(s) earn Story Tokens from the GM. A table below the listed Objectives will show how many Story Tokens each writer has earned in total. Remember that new Away Missions and incentives to write stories don't have to have any Tokens attached to them. The Tokens are not meant to be a requirement for story creation. They are just a fun thing created to reward writing of critical (and some non-critical) plot development threads.

Rules

• In order to earn Story Tokens, one of the writers will have to PM the GM with a link to the starting post of the thread that is meant to fulfil the Objective. This means that in order to have an Objective marked as "In Progress", the starting post must have been made.
• The starting post should also show who will be participating in the thread, which is usually done with Mentions (seen as @Auctor Lucan). This means the participants needs to agree on having their characters present for the thread.
• If the Story Objective plays out in the Aldea Prime Anthology, the one who wrote the starter also needs to add it to the Aldea Prime Calendar
• The Story Tokens earned by the writers will be handed out once the thread is Completed, which requires another PM to the GM, who will update the list of accumulated Tokens per writer.
• Only threads that have been written in accordance with the General Rules will qualify. This means both post lengths as well as posting deadlines.
• You may only earn Story Tokens in one Story Objective at the time. This means that in order to earn Tokens in a new thread, the old one must be finished before the new one is started.
• Writers may of course also participate in the Objectives without earning Tokens, which will be clearly specified in the thread in such a case.

If a Theurgist earns enough Story Tokens, they can cash in a Reward as listed at the bottom of this page.

Current Story Objective

Here are the currently available Objectives!

Aldea Prime Anthology			Availability
Objective Description	Writers	Story Tokens	Completed	Available
Oceanside Dress Party First Appointee Radue of the Aldean Defence Committee, leader of the Aldeans, have invited the Theurgy crew to a closed off, seaside dress party down on Aldea, in the outskirts of Aldea Prime city. The futuristic and luxurious palace is guarded by Klingons to keep out any unwanted guests that doesn't have the security clearence to know the true identities of the Theurgy crew, meaning that those attending from the Theurgy will be able to be themselves and also wear the Starfleet dress uniform. The occasion celebrated is how the Aldeans managed to isolate the bug in the Gestalt Program with the help of the Theurgy crew (see other Story Objective below). The thread itself does not have to detail how the Theurgy crew managed to help the Aldeans, allowing this to be started before the other one is. In-Character Time: Evening, Day 11 (Before Savi contact) Objective Parameters to earn Tokens: 5 posts minimum per writer NPC Radue holding a very short speech in the starting post Keep the thread open for new writers As an exception to the rules, Story Tokens may be earned after each writer's 5th post	2 writers minimum	3		Yes!
Death of a Scientist Since Lt. JG Hieronimus Smith can't be inherited, this objective is about establishing how he dies in the story. It could either be by accident on the Theurgy or down on Aldea. In-Character Time: Anytime after Day 02 Objective Parameters to earn Tokens: 3 posts minimum per writer	2 writers	2		Yes!
Anyon Emission Protocol Failure After the interrogation of Doctor Nicander in Scrying Through the Storm Front, Commander Ducote ordered the implementation of anyon particle sweeps every time someone comes aboard the Theurgy. The subatomic particles were meant to dephase any parasites and kill Infested when either entering through an airlock or being transported into one of the Transporter Rooms. This objective is about a freely chosen accident in relation to these emissions, where one or more characters are either affected or they have to save/help those that were affected. Objective Parameters to earn Tokens: 3 posts minimum per writer End the thread with safeguards being made to prevent another accident	2-3 writers	2		Yes!
Pirate Gang Kidnapping Three writers illustrate how one character is abducted by the pirate gang named Grey Scars, motives TBD by the writers, and then saved - beamed back aboard the Theurgy after someone manages to reach the abductee, and a transporter lock can be made. In-Character Time: Undecided Objective Parameters to earn Tokens: 5 posts minimum per writer	3 Writers	3		Yes!
Investigate the Gestalt Deaths As a special request from the Aldean Defence Committee, the Theurgy Medical and Science officers have been asked to investigate why the Aldean gestalts (clones) are randomly dying off at 14 years or older. Form more information, see page Aldean. The reason is found to be a genetic defect generated by the Gestalt Program. The writers decide if this is caused by accident, or if it is a sabotage done by the political opposition of the Gestalt Program. Either way, a treatment is found, but the Theurgy crew can't take credit because they are incognito. The Theurgy crew earns access to another off-planet refinery to expedite repairs. All Theurgy crew members earn the double amount of Aldean stars (currency) that they started out with upon arrival, which is uploaded to their Aldean communicators. In-Character Time: Before Day 10 Objective Parameters to earn Tokens: 7 posts minimum per writer, spread over 1 or 2 threads. First Appointee Radue of the Aldean Defence Committee is NPCed by the writers in the beginning and the end of the thread	4 Writers	3		Yes!
Aldean Kaijus Rising! After the Custodian was deactivated, and the ozone layer began to repair itself over the past 17 years, the Aldean surface wildlife remains more or less extinct. In the depths of the sea, however, Aldean marine biologists believe that the sealife adapted to the higher pressure of lower depths, and they expect the creatures long forgotten to surface. Already, smaller oceanic creatures have been sighted. To accelerate the process, the Aldeans have begun to launch deep sea probes that are meant to compel the creatures to return to the surface... only they got a bit more than they bargained for... The Aldean Defence Committee with First Appointee Radue ask the Theurgy to address the threat, with warp fighters and scientists as needed. In-Character Time: Sometime between Day 04 and 06 Objective Parameters to earn Tokens: 7 posts minimum per writer, spread over 1 or 2 threads. Illustrate the crisis and the manner of beastly threat that has resurfaced Deactivate the "noise" of the deep sea probes Either make the creature return to the depths, or if that's impossible, save the Aldean coastline by killing the creature First Appointee Radue of the Aldean Defence Committee is NPCed by the writers in the beginning and the end of the thread	4 Writers	3		Yes!
Seal Vector 03's Hull Two writers illustrate the moment when the big hole that the Versant blew through Vector 03 is finally sealed, and the internal repairs of the affected area begin. In-Character Time: Sometime after Day 10 Objective Parameters to earn Tokens: 4 posts minimum per writer	Top Hat Fife	2	In Progress...
Weaponize the Light! While Heather McMillan's transphasic light-ability can no longer affect the parasite in Doctor Nicander enough to free the host from the link to the nameless darkness, there could be scientific and technological means to augment the emanated light from the Radiant - making it transphasic enough to have actual effect on the Infested. In this process, it could be that the unique phase of the wavelength could be emulated technologically. Perhaps phasers can be fitted with some kind of phase variance add-on in order to target the parasites specifically inside Hosts. In-Character Time: Undecided Objective Parameters to earn Tokens: 1 thread minimum 5 posts minimum per thread and per writer The phase variance is discovered (finally) Engineering work is started to find a way to make phasers able to target parasites	BZ Triage Arista Hastata-Nerada Numen	3	In progress...
Unidentified Flying Object in the Beyond Something sneaks by all patrols and sensors, only to be picked up by the Particle Sensors of Irnashall ch’Xinya's design aboard the Theurgy. Once the object enters the sandstorms of the Beyond, well outside Aldea Prime, and nowhere close to any ghost city. It appears as if it landed. Since regular sensors show nothing, and at the request of the Aldean Defence Committee, an on-site away-team is deployed to the location via transporter, and two Lone Wolves are sent to provide air support. In-Character Time: Sometime after Day 12 Objective Parameters to earn Tokens: 5 posts minimum per writer, spread over 1 or 2 threads. Approach the cloaked object and try to make contact Survive the encounter First Appointee Radue of the Aldean Defence Committee is NPCed by the writers in the beginning and the end of the thread	Havenborn Patches Brutus DaValle Griff	3	In progress...
