14. Name different things the Aldea Prime Anthology should have more and less of.

• More: Shore leave, seeing the civilian side of life, interesting aliens to meet.  Less: Heavy combat (simple bar/street brawls are prefectly fine) since we've had a lot of that over the past 2 episodes+interregnum.
• More personal plots and victories on the Infested front! And maybe a little bit less factions involved with the plot, or unify them, because between borg, asurains, savi, klingons, infested, and archeron, I am completely overwhelmed.
• Less existence-ending do-or-die, more "new worlds and new civilizations"
• More optimism, less depression. More bikinis and banana hammocks, less moping.
• I think we should have less in the way of non-stop combat. I know it drives the sim, but I feel as though a number of writers are getting what I can only describe as war weariness due to the never-ending battles of the last chapter. Possibly more exploration or diplomacy? Maybe a rescue mission?
• More of a chance for the characters to recover/have some serious down time. Less getting killed
• More interpersonal relationships and exploration/development of characters, Less being hunted and having to be on the run, that should be saved for Season 2.
• More fun episodic content. An example could be based around the crew on the planet, running afoul of local laws or getting mixed up on the wrong sort of thing. More pairing of two characters that may not interact otherwise. Less constant combat/fighting
• More opportunity to get off the ship and stretch the legs. I joked about dungeons and dragons in the campaign, but seriously a chance to explore a ruins or an old temple or something would be interesting... maybe it's something the Aldeans can ask us to do in exchange for something... money, resources, etc?  Ives wouldn't necessarily assign a team for it but might instead put it out there as an option for volunteers; or Thea could assign a field project as part of her university teachings, etc. 
• Civil assignments, helping the Aldean government while they generously let us stay. Starfleety things (Maybe low risk, but high importance.) Chase off Pirates? Small fry stuff for a change of pace.Less mutiny.
• Having come off of some pretty big battles a little less of that and a little more down time, which it's already looking like it is, although some adventure and fights are always nice.
• I'm undecided! Maybe a little more time with some people on planet? Not everyone, of course. And some more Klingons but I just think they're neat. As I'm sure you guessed!
• More of the old Star Trek staples like meeting new people and exploring a new(old?) world. I suspect this will be covered just fine. Less of... for now, just a little less fighting would be fine. Conflict is the fodder of any story, but I think we're due a break!
• Already getting it. Heap of free time. Time to explore characters without sheer panic and the ship falling apart.
• Just about everything we haven't been able to do/have since the beginning of Theurgy? I know that's vague as hell, but like, nightclubs, markets, hotels, interactive NPCs, a chance to feel like people again, to do people things who are not at war in a hopeless and bleak situation. See families, and people just doing people things like living, having fun, making friends, falling in love, etc. Petting zoos, some damn peace and quiet, or a little edge for those who still want action, like street races or black markets, or even street fights, I don't know, but just all this, and without more parasite infested people or the oncoming Dark.
• Lots of time for R&R, and open threads for exploration and fun on the surface.
• More relaxing and personal time. Less go go go.
• One thing I would really enjoy to see, are some 'assigned' missions. By this, I mean, providing situations where authors and characters who have less reason to react in the story, can be included in threads together more easily, by having them assigned for 'away missions' together by yourself. Whether it be a group of officers going to one of the markets to obtain supplies, or a shuttle exploration to a neighboring planet, just a few scenarios where we can both work with authors we don't get as much opportunity to work with, as well as characters whom our characters don't get to engage with as often.
• I feel a bit like we have been in the action genre for a long time, ever since the battle of 84, it would be nice to have a baseball episode, or something like that.  I am always a huge fan of closed doors murder mysteries, basically any genre where the warp core isn't exploding for a turn would be great. Maybe even a holodeck screws up and nearly kills us storyline as it were.
• Some relaxing time, some silly threads, make some alliances or make the current one stronger. Some science and diplomacy plots. I really want an undercover travel to Qo'noS at some point (i've some ideas, i'll PM them later). For a time, both characters and writers need a rest period without too many battles. They could come back to them later, or some part of the crew could have some skirmishes. But it need to be a more... relaxed period generally speaking.
• Some large threads & events with lots of characters involved that aren't battles might be fun. Otherwise, I don't think I've been around long enough to really get an idea!
• Just .. fun!  The ability to have missions, and have fun, and character development.

Hi'Jak          Civilian Scientist

  - Writer:

Cameron was never my creation, so I believe your standard procedure would be to put her back up for adoption.

But as for Heather, Meony and Sinead, I respectfully request that they be turned out to pasture.

I meant to write their resignations and departure from Starfleet and Theurgy, as my own dignified exit from the story, so now, I submit it to you if you will be willing to let them leave, alive.

Sinead's reasons is she wants to return to the Mariposans and Bringloidi to warn them about the developments in Starfleet and the Federation, so she resigns her commission, then finds herself joined by Meony, who, after her brain surgery, is left with twitching hands and shot nerves plus accumulative physical and psychological damage over the years, which makes her unfit for Tactical Conn. Lastly, Heather, acting on her promise to Suq, also resigns her commission to travel with the girls on a civilian transport, to Bringloid V, before she will then make her way to the Efrosian world and find out if there are other Radiants around.

She has submitted all her research as well as all data concerning herself and her race to Thea's databanks. There is enough data to weaponized her light. Her last gift to the surviving Theurgists.
