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.

Here are the currently available Objectives!

Aldea Prime Anthology			Availability
Objective Description	Writers	Story Tokens	Completed	Available
Fight in the Klingon Arena Two or three writers have their characters enter the arena in the Klingon Recreation Complex in the Aldea Prime Shipyards. Fight Klingons or off-planet creatures. Win or loose. Your call. In-Character Time: Undecided Objective Parameters to earn Tokens: 5 posts minimum per writer A minimum of 2 matches are fought	Stegro88 Revan trevorvw	2	Complete!

In-Character Time: Sometime after Day 10 Objective Parameters to earn Tokens: 4 posts minimum per writer	Top Hat Fife	2	In Progress...
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!
Interrogate Doctor Nicander The Infested Doctor remains in his cell, and he is willing to divulge anything he knows about the enemy. One priority is to learn if there are any other Infested aboard the ship or at Aldea, so Nicander needs to be convinced to use his far-seeing ability. In-Character Time: Undecided Objective Parameters to earn Tokens: 5 posts minimum per writer Nicander uses his ability All characters survive the encounter	TWilkins Top Hat Fiendfall Kinvarus Steelphoenix	3	Complete!
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...
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: Undecided 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!
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...
