Star Trek: Theurgy

For Resolve Disarmed
Suq won't give up his weapon without a fight and would probably outright lie about not having one if he could. I think I might've accidentally already written that he has his weapon in the hangar bay and he had it while speaking with Billy Bob before then, so maybe he's sneaking it around as contraband? I could also go back and edit these points out, but Suq feels his weapon is the only thing that gives him a little bit of control over the chaos that is reality right now.

It'd create an awful image of the Theurgy if they made a scene taking the little phaser from an already emotionally compromised Suq, and Suq's subsequent panic. Is that something that we'd want to do...?

Just one quick comment before I need to hit the sack. Early start tomorrow:

I think I wrote that the Resolve's senior staff would be asked to hand over their weaponry at the end of the Conference Lounge meeting, and if they refuse, they would have taken the weapons anyway? Sorry, FollowTomorrow. In those posts you wrote Suq had a weapon on him, you have to edit that out. Sorry for the trouble, and its really on me since I should have been more clear on that. I thought it was by posting it at the top here. My bad! Hope you can make it work anyway, and that Doc M. won't have to edit his posts too, but it is super important.

Best,

Auctor Lucan

Hey Lucan!! No problem, I'll  be writing the weapon out of his posts and replace it with something else, maybe a modified hypospanner or something personal to him that could still act as his safety blanket until he trusts Theurgy better. Thank you!!

• Dev learns about the conspiracy where Ian Hawthorne sold classified Starfleet depot coordinates to the rebels in the Romulan Civil War, and that one of those Romulan operatives had been on Starbase 84 the same day as the battle occurred. She could learn the code name for the Romulan too, since it was heard in a transmission. The Romulan's codename was "Auroto", and Ian Hawthorne's was "Aidoann". Auroto translates from Romulan to Apparition/Ghost/Spectre/Phantom/Phantasm or something like that, and Aidoann simply means moon.
• Auroto could have some kind of affiliation to Dev's father, perhaps? She might recognise the codename, and thus learn that there is even Tal Shiar operatives working with Donatra's rebels. Knowing that there was a Romulan spy on the base, and reviewing the evidence and transmission that Hi'Jak (Kaligos) brought aboard, Dev would be able to verify that Captain Hawthorne was, indeed conspiring with the Romulans. His actions were indeed prone to instigate a war with the Federation once the current Praetor saw the rebels were armed with cutting-edge Starfleet tech.
• Also! The tactical logs from the Theurgy's previous battles will include the encounter with a Mogai-class Romulan warbird at the Black Opal. The Black Opal is one of said depots that Hawthorne 'sold' to Donatra. Perhaps she could speak with Jaya Thorne or Sithick (EAC or Kaligos, up for it?) who was stationed there when the Romulan warbird boarded the station, and Jaya Thorne or Sithick could tell Dev how the Theurgy crew repelled the boarders from the Black Opal and almost crippled the warbird. That might say something about the idea that the Theurgy crew are supposed to be Romulan traitors?
• Dev's father could also have some kind of affiliation with an ex-Tal Shiar agent named T'Mei. T'Mei is not her real name, the agent changing appearance to be a Vulcan when she defected to the Federation,, leaving behind two sons and an abusive husband. One of those sons were Drauc T'Laus, who also just came aboard the ship. After T'Mei defected, she had a new child, namely Nathaniel Isley, who just recently learned about his Romulan heritage (always having thought he was Vulcan).
• Considering all the above, I would suggest Isley (also written by Kaligos) ends up talking with Dev, and perhaps he approaches her with his new-found knowledge about his Romulan DNA? Isley, as one of the original Theurgy crew, would also be able to tell her about the Theurgy's voyage and affirm the veracity of their mission. The building blocks are all there, with Kaligos writing Isley, Hi'Jak and Sithick, all three whom could tie Dev closer to the Theurgy's cause! For sake of variation, you also have EAC's Jaya Thorne too.
