Fulfilling Story 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

  • Find writing partners on the Main OOC board on the forum, or alternatively, support each other on the Discord server's channel #writing-requests.
  • 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. The reason this rule is important, and doesn't say one objective per character, is because otherwise writers with more characters might have an unfair advantage.
  • 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.

Episode 01: Advent of War Objectives

The below table shows finished and unfinished Objectives for Episode 01: Advent of War. These objectives are meant as inspiration towards the progression of the Episode's plot, and sub-plots that happen concurrently with the major story. The sum total of Martok Support Points (MSP) gained will influence the outcome of the Episode's ending, with Martok's continued chancellery on the line.

Episode 01: Advent of War Availability
Objective Description Writers Story Tokens Status
Sabine Crash Site
K'Tal revealed to the Theurgy's bridge crew that the Sabine was shot down by surface-to-air turrets whilst it approach the city, and the shuttle was last scene descending into the Old Quarters of the First City, coming short of reaching the Great Hall. This Objective is about reaching the Sabine and saving those who are still aboard from House Mo'Kai assassins and warriors that have been deployed to kill any survivors. Unbeknownst to whatever awayteam takes on this objective, only a few crewmembers remain at the crash site, but unless this Objective is accomplished, they will die before the end of this Episode.

In-Character Time: Begins asap after the Theurgy´s arrival at Qo'noS.
Objective Parameters to earn Tokens:

  • This Objective needs to begin with the away team reaching Qo'noS via shuttle or transport in the first few posts.
  • NPC the House Mo'Kai Klingons, and make the fight difficult.
  • The GM will write Sera vers Aldonah and V-Nine
  • Help Sera finish the repairs on the Sabine
  • 6 posts minimum per writer

Operation: Dinner Out
Lieutenant Commander Andrew Fisher is held captive, torture about to begin in order to learn the secrets of the Theurgy and any others that Fisher might know from his career. The most present example is the threat Fisher's knowledge pose for the Theurgy-Savi alliance. It might be in danger since the Savi do not wish to be exposed to the galactic powers. The Voice might even retract his helping hand, putting the safety of his people as his first priority, and the Savi delegation aboard the Theurgy might, potentially, sabotage the Quantum Slipstream drive beyond repair. All theories, but the risk is obvious. Therefore, it is imperative to bring Fisher back post haste, since everyone has their limit in terms of torture. To make matters worse, Fisher might be executed if the Theurgy crew tries to interfere with Gorka's attempt to claim the Chancellery of the Klingon Empire, so time is of the essence.

In-Character Time: Begins asap after the Theurgy´s arrival at Qo'noS.
Objective Parameters to earn Tokens:

  • This Objective needs to begin with the away team launching via shuttle or other means within the first few posts.
  • NPC the House Mo'Kai Klingons during the infiltration mission.
  • Interrogation progression is determined by Swift, including intel that is compromised.
  • 5 posts minimum per writer

Jailbreak
Because of damages to the Brig during the Battle of the Houses, the Klingon who bombed the Spearhead Lounge manages to escape his holding cell. Rov, son of Pekdal, will attempt blending in with other Klingons remaining on the Theurgy while he tries to reach a Transporter Room, where he will threaten to kill an NPC Operations officer to beam him off the ship and down to Qo'noS. When refused, he will kill the Operations officer and operate the LCARS interface himself. If he manages to beam down, the writers taking on this Objective will have to pursue him planet-side. This is an ample opportunity for any vengeful characters who lost someone in the Spearhead Lounge to get vigilante justice, should they so choose.

In-Character Time: Begins asap after the Theurgy´s arrival at Qo'noS.
Objective Parameters to earn Tokens:

  • Start the thread with the jailbreak being discovered by Thea announcing it on the intercom.
  • The Brig Officer is to be found dead at his post, killed by Rov. The GM can briefly write Nicander as an eye-witness from the confines of his own cell.
  • During Rov's escape, utilise Thea to raise force fields, narrowing down Rov's options during his escape.
  • Either confront Rov in the Transporter Room or pursue him planetside. Either way, NPC him as a cunning Klingon assassin, not to be easily killed off without a fight.
  • 5 posts minimum per writer
Trevorvw 4 In Progress...
Hidden Raptor
While the Klingons resolve their crisis of leadership, Praetor Tal'Aura is already chasing Donatra out of the Romulan Star Empire with her fleet's thalaron weaponry. The troop movements are clear, the threat to the Klingon border evident, and even though the bulk of the fleet movements have yet to reach the Klingon Empire... it would seem Romulus have cloaked ship not far away from Qo'noS. After Drauc T'Laus has been asked to aid the Theurgy crew to gather intel from the Star Empire, he receives a message when the Theurgy orbits Qo'noS. An old companion of his serves on the cloaked ship, and being a Donatra sympathiser, s/he is ready to compromise the cloak from aboard the ship. This Story Objective might be best handled by Lone Wolf characters, since the distance and the threat is too great for a mere shuttle. This could be a joint venture between the Lone Wolves and available Klingon forces, but the priority is to neutralise the warbird or send it back to whence it came, since it could potentially carry a thalaron bomb meant for the First City. The mission is approved by the Senior Staff off screen prior to the Objective begins.

In-Character Time: Begins asap after the Theurgy´s arrival at Qo'noS.
Objective Parameters to earn Tokens:

  • Start the thread in the Fighter Assault Bay, pilots in the briefing room, and with Drauc about to give details after the mission has been approved, alone or with a Starfleet officer with him on the podium.
  • NPC any Captain of a Martok-loyal Klingon ship whom the Lone Wolves contact, picked since it is close to the warbird's coordinates.
  • Neutralise the warbird or send it back towards Romulan space.
  • Save Drauc's contact, whom will try to leave the warbird during the battle. Escort hir shuttle back to the Theurgy or make sure s/he is to be unharmed on the Klingon ship if she ends up aboard that instead.
  • Failure to complete this Objective might have thalaron-related repercussions on Qo'noS.

Here is the archive of old and already completed Story Objectives:

Completed Story Objective Availability
Objective Description Writers Story Tokens Status
The Scion Sympathiser
In this least of opportune moments, a Scion sympathiser within the Savi delegation aboard the Theurgy makes his or her move. Having learned that a Theurgy crewmember has been taken captive aboard the Ta'rom, and that this crewmember is one of the Senior Staff, the Scion sympathiser decides to take matters into his or her own three-fingered hands. Just like all Savi, this Scion sympathiser also wishes to keep the knowledge about the Savi Flotilla secret, but this one doesn't recognise the legitimacy of the Old Code that the Voice's rebels adhere to. So, this Antecedent tries to sabotage the Theurgy from within, kamikaze-style, and with access to Main Engineering due to the maintenance of the Quantum Slipstream Drive, this is where s/he will make hir move. S/he means to overload the warp core and destroy the ship with all souls aboard. Stop the Antecendent before it is too late!

In-Character Time: Begins asap after the Theurgy´s arrival at Qo'noS.
Objective Parameters to earn Tokens:

  • Begin with the objective by NPC:ing two Savi trying to stop the sympathiser. One of them is killed, but the other is able to alert someone among Theurgy crew. The sympathiser is already en-route to Main Engineering by this time.
  • Illustrate the great haste this Objective calls for, and the ruthlessness of the Scion sympathiser, along with his/her resourcefulness.
  • Utilise Thea to raise force fields in order to keep the Savi out of Engineering, but have the Savi bypass Thea with relative ease, this being a very technically savvy Savi scientist.
  • Neutralise the threat to Thea's main warp core before the Savi destroys the ship.
  • 4 posts minimum per writer

Yacht Party!
With the opinions of the Theurgy crew improving, the Aldeans have allowed the crew the use of a large ocean yacht for a day and night of relaxation and frivolities. The offer could be answered by any (group) in the crew who has shoreleave and/or a reason to celebrate something. It could be a wedding, a birthday or a Department Head taking some of their officers on a pleasure cruise. The yacht is crewed by Aldeans with the right security clearance that allows the crew not having to pose as Aldeans. Details surrounding the ship and the accommodations aboard is up to the writers, but it could be a good idea to have the yacht fitted with UV shield tech since they are outside of Aldea Prime.

In-Character Time: Free (Before Aldean Kaijus Rising!)
Objective Parameters to earn Tokens:

  • Start the thread on the yacht, and detail what it offers.
  • 5 posts minimum per writer
  • Keep the thread open for new writers
  • As an exception to the rules, Story Tokens may be earned after each writer's 5th post
Numerous 3 Complete!
Blood Debt Delayed
A blood debt is a Klingon custom in which, after being dishonored, a Klingon warrior seeks to regain his honor by killing the person responsible for their dishonor. Since Martok has quickly assembled the force of 200 Klingons that will be brought to the First City by the Theurgy, any preciding 'bad bloood' between these Klingons wasn't taken into proper account. Therefore, your characters will have to intervene between two Klingons and convince them to make peace until after Martok has secured his position as High Chancellor. Optional: Perhaps a Klingon has a blood debt with a character in the crew?

In-Character Time: Finished before 0800 hrs. on Day 03
Objective Parameters to earn Tokens:

  • NPC both the Klingon rivals, and detail the old feud of theirs in the scene.
  • Blood must be drawn
  • Yet a truce must be made
  • 4 posts minimum per writer

Establish Jhoza Deserting
Since the Lone Wolf Jhoza deserts the ship and leaves Aldea on Day 10, we need this to be established in a thread. This can be done any which way. Very free-form, but the point is to establish in-story that the total number of deserters is quite low. Far lower than expected, with just a handful gone as of Day 10.

In-Character Time: Day 10 or 11
Objective Parameters to earn Tokens:

  • 3 posts minimum per writer

An Unknown Grandson?
Torg, son of Kormog, was the head of the House of Torg and a member of the Klingon High Council. Torg was a political ally of the House of Duras, and adopted Ja'rod, son of Lursa (and named after his grandfather) into his house after Lursa and her sister B'Etor were slain by the crew of the USS Enterprise-D in the year 2371. Ja'rod - having fallen out of favour with Torg - has managed to contact Chu'vok on the Theurgy, and claims that Martok's son Drex is actually not childless. Evidently, unbeknownst to Martok, Drex had a child with Ja'rod's twin sister - Jo'reh. Since the sister was of House Duras, neither her nor Drex had made their wedlock public because of the lasting feud between their Houses. The son - M'ven, son of Drex - is merely eight years old, and allegedly Gorka has just learned of his existence from Torg. Killing M'ven would serve Gorka in how Martok's lineage would continue to be believed ended. Ja'rod seem to have revealed the existence of M'ven to Chu'vok out of spite towards Torg, and suggested that both Jo'reh and M'ven have escaped the House of Duras, and hide on a ship in the uninhabitable system Epsilon Monocerotis, which is just out of the way for the Theurgy's path towards Qo'nos. A Type 11 shuttle or a warp fighter could get there. Trap or truth? Have your characters find out. Since it might be a trap, Chu'vok has refrained from informing Martok, so as he might not do anything drastic and play into Torg's potential plot.

In-Character Time: Finished before 0800 hrs. on Day 03
Objective Parameters to earn Tokens:

  • NPC Chu'vok
  • Either stop the assassination of the child...
  • ...or have Torg's trap spring on your characters. The GM reveals what awaits at the time.
  • 4 posts minimum per writer
  • Martok Support Points: 0 if Trap / 20 if Truth

Stowaway I: The Love Interest
It might just be that one of the crew happened to slip an Aldean into his or her quarters, and missed the fact that the Theurgy went to Yellow Alert. While the Aldean might have the security clearance to know the Theurgy was docked at Aldea, his or her Aldean life-sign might ping Thea's internal sensors, and the poor lover will have to leave the ship immediately.

In-Character Time: Day 01, just before 1300 hrs.
Objective Parameters to earn Tokens:

  • Characters might be two officers that chime the door to the love birds, or one character might be the one who invited the Aldean to his/her quarters.
  • The Lover has to be beamed off just before the Theurgy departs Aldea.

The Klingon Admirer
An old aquaintance of one character appears among the 200 Klingons aboard the Theurgy. The Klingon in question is completely infatuated with this male or female character, and those feelings might not be entirely reciprocated... Another character might have to help the first in dissuading the warrior in his attempts to woo him/her.

In-Character Time: Finished before 0800 hrs. on Day 03
Objective Parameters to earn Tokens:

  • NPC the Klingon, and create the relevant back-story
  • Incorporate how the Klingon seeks Kaplok with the poor character. (Kaplok is a Klingon act or custom, possibly sexually related according to Memory Beta.)
  • Failing that, the Klingon wishes to swear a Sword Oath to his/her love interest, which has to be stopped before s/he does so.
  • 4 posts minimum per writer
2 3 Complete!
Castaway
A Theurgy shuttle ends up crashing on one of the Epsilon Mynos System's planets, and the occupants have to bide the time until a search is mounted. Communications and beacon destroyed, perhaps? Very free-form. They do observe, however, that a small Klingon ship first moves to aid the shuttle, but then ends up abandoning the shuttle where it is, suggesting that whoever was on the Klingon ship didn't support Martok's decision to aid the Theurgy.

In-Character Time: Undecided

Daa'maq
Within the Klingon Empire, the warriors of House of Daa´maq were known to be one of the most ferocious of soldiers with a great deal of cunning. It was known that its members would rise to almost any challenge, regardless of the overwhelming odds that worked against them. While Gorka has attempted to win Daa'maq's support, he has failed, and General Chu'vok fear that the leader of the House - Daa´maq, son of Faa'rag - will be assassinated by his younger sister - Eriska - who's ferociousness is only equalled by how smitten she is with Gorka. Your characters overhear how Chu'vok has a transmission intercepted from Gorka, wherein he tells Eriska it is time that Daa'maq rots in Sto-vo-kor. The Tigris runabout would be able to reach communication-range with Da'maaq's ship if deployed immediately, since the ship is currently in too far out from any Klingon subspace relay stations. Chu'vok would give the intercepted transmission to your characters, so that it might be sent to Da'maaq.

In-Character Time: Finished before 0800 hrs. on Day 03
Objective Parameters to earn Tokens:

  • NPC Chu'vok, Da'maaq & Eriska
  • Name Da'maaq's ship
  • Show Eriska being called out on the Runabout's viewscreen, as well as an ensuing fight.
  • Get help from Da'maaq's ship to catch up with the Theurgy.
  • The GM writes Martok as Da'maaq (finally) pleads his alliance to the House of Martok
  • 5 posts minimum per writer
  • Martok Support Points: 10

IKS Daqchov

Your characters overhear General Chu'vok on the Theurgy, proclaiming with great anger that after the battles fought so far along its path to Qo'nos, Gorka's fleet has left the IKS Daqchov adrift and gradually pulled into the gravity of a star. With mere hours left, the ship and its crew would be lost. It's Captain - Sotugh - is an ally of Chancellor Martok, and commanded a sizeable portion of the Klingon fleet under Chancellor Gowron during the Dominion War. Sotugh led the House of DachoH, one of the Great Klingon Houses, and if lost, it would not just be a loss of a great warrior, but a voice in the High Council once the Theurgy gets there with Martok. With little time to spare, have your characters run to the available Argo-shuttle Tesla and do SAR (Search-and-Rescue). Save Sotugh and any survivors on the Vor'cha-class IKS Daqchov before it's too late.

Remnant Borg Code
During the preparation of the Allegiant for its mission aboard the Erudite, an auxillary system is diagnosed, which trigger a remnant Borg code/virus in the Allegiant's computer core. Even if properly isolated in some part of the scoutship's systems, it requires a hard-wire bypass of that component, and a replacement. This becomes a matter of urgency since some Savi spokesperson on the Erudite makes it very clear that the Allegiant may not dock if the Borg-component isn't removed.

In-Character Time: Day 01, before 1900 hrs.
Objective Parameters to earn Tokens:

  • When contacted, NPC the Savi spokesperson, someone working in the Aerodrome of the Erudite
  • Replace the component that the Borg code has been isolated to.

Arctic Pole Discovery
Where did the Custodian come from, this ancient technology that the Aldeans depended on for so long? The keen-eyed scientists on the Theurgy might detect a sensor anomaly in the coldest reaches of the the Aldean north pole, and they end up finding derelict high-technological ruins of the Aldean people's ancestors, or perhaps even an alien race that lived on the planet before the Aldeans. The conditions of the pole might prevent a beam-down, so going down by shuttle would be required. First Appointee Radue is NPCd as required by the participants, the Defence Council monitoring the investigation from Aldea Prime. Given the lack of other lifesigns, there is no need for Aldean clothing and equipment. The Klingons are on alert to keep away visitors. Mission Ops on the Theurgy is the point of contact on the ship, with an NPC there unless Ducote or Cameron is available.

In-Character Time: After Day 17
Objective Parameters to earn Tokens:

  • 7 posts minimum per writer
  • Start the thread on the shuttle, giving details to the events leading up to the away mission
  • Between the four writers participating, at least one have to be in Security, and one has to be some kind of pilot.

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.

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.

In-Character Time: Anytime after Day 07

Find Trent's Murderer!
Location: Deck 09 corridor. Time of death: Day 11, 1047 hrs. The volunteering writers should consist of at least 1 Security Officer, and the starter should end with an examination of the body in the corridor, whereupon I will post the first batch of clues. The perpetrator masked his life-sign using a standard tricorder, which will be found dumped in a busy corridor. Worth mentioning also is that the perpetrator timed the deed with Thea's maintenance cycle, so that she didn't catch it directly happening, there only being logs of the events on internal sensors. I will also write Thea in this thead, but before you post the starter, you should read

Day 11 (1258 hrs.) With Malice Aforethought.

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
  • Engineering work is started to find a way to make phasers able to target parasites
