On this page, you can find Story Prompts, Writing Prompts and Token Rewards. Story Prompts are optional story-related sub-plots, while Writing Prompts are just general non-detailed writing ideas. Both lets the writers earn Tokens from the GM. A table below the listed Prompts will show how many 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 some plot development threads, to encourage those unable to come up with plot ideas of their own.
Rules
- When considering a Prompt below, find writing partners via PMs or through the Main OOC board on the forum, or alternatively, check for interest on the Discord server's channel #writing-requests.
- In order to earn 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 Prompt. This means that in order to have a Prompt marked as "In Progress", the starting post must have been made.
- Prompts are not to be written using Joint-Posts.
- The starting post must:
- Show the posting order for the participants in an OOC note.
- 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.
- Show who of those participating are eligible for Tokens (since a writer can only earn Tokens from one Prompt at the time)
- The one who write the starter must also add it to the Aldea Prime Calendar or Qo'noS Shore Leave Calendar respectively.
- The Tokens earned by the writers will be handed out once the thread is Completed. It is only Completed by sending another PM to the GM via the Forum, who will update the list of accumulated Tokens per writer and mark the Prompt as Complete.
- As of Interregnum 01-02, all Prompts must have a posting order. If a writer does not abide by the General Rules and post within 10 days when it is his/her turn, the sum total of Tokens earned in the Prompt will be deducted by one (1) Token each time that happens for that writer. On the 8th day, the next poster in the order is always free to NPC the character of the wayward writer in his/her own post. In this case, the deadline of 10 days begin as of that 8th day. This, to ensure steady progress of the Prompt.
- You may only earn Tokens in one (1) Story Prompt at the time. This means that in order to earn Tokens in a new thread, the old one must be Completed before the new one is started. The reason this rule is important - and doesn't say one Prompt per character - is because otherwise writers with more characters might have an unfair advantage.
- Writers may participate in two (2) Story Prompts at the same time, but as stated above, only one will allow the writer to earn Tokens. Which Prompt that is must be clearly specified in the starting post of an Prompt in such a case.
- There are no restrictions on of number of Writing Prompts (not Story Prompts) you partake in, since they don't grant a high amount of Tokens.
If a Theurgist earns enough Tokens, they can cash in a Reward as listed at the bottom of this page.
Interregnum 01-02 Prompts
The below table shows available and unfinished Story and Writing Prompts for Interregnum 01-02. Story Prompts are meant as inspiration towards completion of Star Trek: Theurgy story elements between Episodes 01 and 02 in Season 2, while Writing Prompts are less detailed non-Story related activities or ideas to explore together with other writers who enjoy the same idea(s).
Some large story events not listed will be addressed independent of Story Prompts, but instead considered the natural development of the story. These events include, but are not limited to, a mission to the Azurite Station, a memorial ceremony, an approach of the Federation Embassy on Qo'noS and the research into an anyonic secondary containment beam that may remove the parasites from their hosts.

The Retro-assassination of B'etath | Tempus Sigillum The encrypted data package sent by the Relativity just yielded an alert, providing the time when temporal agent B'etath of the poH HubwoQ, the Klingon Time Defense Authority, is to be retro-assassinated by the Infested. The data held no location - just that it will happen on Qo'noS - nor any means to contact the Klingon officer since any contact may alter the time of the assassination attempt, so the Theurgy will have to investigate where B'etath is at. Councilor K'Tal, the head of Imperial Intelligence, might be amendable to help, but of course he must not learn the truth about the role B'etath will play in the future. This is a Tempus Sigillum mission, which means that the mission is "off-the-logs", so there can be no reports kept on the attempted prevention of B'etath's death. What makes matters more difficult is that the Relativity could not provide the means through which the Infested mean to kill the Klingon either. The mission operatives only have a day and time, and therefore a deadline of four (4) hours to find the clandestine temporal agent. Theurgy officers are pre-chosen in accordance with the Relativity´s instructions (seemingly at random!), and they are sent a written message via their personal consoles to gather somewhere. The officers are briefed on a need-to-know basis about the Tempus Sigillum parameters by Captain Ives, the mission data saying they may not make any direct contact with B'etath until immediately prior to the assassination attempt. The oral, off-the-logs, briefing is finished with Ives saying, "Without B'etath, the Temporal Defence Grid will never be created, and we'll have no means to protect this timeline from the Infested. Good luck." Ives then leaves/beams back to the Theurgy to let the team begin.

The Sheliak Data Converter | Tempus Sigillum The encrypted data package sent by the Relativity gives Thea an alert, stating how - if the satellites in the future Temporal Defence Grid are to be pulled back to present time - the project requires several specific components, one of which is a specific one-of-a-kind Sheliak Data Converter (Model registry #961792). Theurgy officers are pre-chosen in accordance with the Relativity´s instructions - seemingly at random - to collect such a converter from a Klingon black market tech dealer. The officers are sent a written message from Captain Ives via their personal consoles to gather somewhere for a briefing. The officers are instructed on a need-to-know basis about the Tempus Sigillum parameters by Ives, the mission data saying that Klingon authorities must not be involved in any way, and that the dealer is somewhere in the wejDIch Quarter. The oral, off-the-logs, briefing is finished with Ives saying, "You cannot be affiliated with Starfleet or the Theurgy, and the information from the Relativity stated that the Orion Syndicate is supposed to purchase the component within two hours, so be quick, and be careful." Ives then leaves/beams back to the Theurgy to let the team begin.

The Chrono-Deflector Schematics | Tempus Sigillum The encrypted data from by the Relativity sounds an alert, stating how the Theurgy somehow have to copy the early blueprints of a "chrono-deflector" and finish the technology ahead of time. A few Theurgy officers are pre-chosen in accordance with the Relativity´s instructions - seemingly at random - to find Korath, son of Monak - somewhere on Qo'noS and copy his early schematics the technology. The officers are sent a message from Captain Ives to their computer consoles to gather somewhere for a briefing. The officers are instructed on a need-to-know basis about the Tempus Sigillum parameters by Ives, the mission data saying Korath must remain unawares that his blueprints have been copied. The oral, off-the-logs, briefing is finished with Ives saying, "Regardless how you acquire the blueprints, neither Starfleet nor the Theurgy can be affiliated with your mission, and the information from the Relativity stated Korath might be retro-assassinated in our timeline if you draw too much attention to yourselves - making the Infested of the future aware that someone is trying to finish this technology ahead of time." Ives then leaves/beams back to the Theurgy to let the team begin.

The Aegis Hearing | Tempus Sigillum At some point, somewhere off the ship, a group of Theurgy officers find themselves stunned by an unseen shooter, one at the time. When they wake up anew, they are suspended in some kind of forcefield/cage/whatever, unable to escape. A man and a woman, obscured in shadow, face them, and begin to ask penetrating questions about the Theurgy, the averted Borg invasion, the destruction of the Azure Nebula, the Infested, the Savi, the Scions. The male speaker makes it very clear that the current state of the timeline is completely astray, and that 'they' will be watching events pertaining to the Theurgy more closely, since it seems that the Theurgy is the centre of the temporal disruption.

Thalaron Dispersal Tech | Parts I, II & III With the threat of thalaron weaponry, and the Savi grudgingly offering some help, scientists and engineers will have to research a means to protect the ship from thalaron radiation weaponry. Moreover, both the Klingon fleets as well as Donatra's remaining forces are in dire need of this technology, so the successful invention and the possible scalability of the technology might be key for the next Episode.

Parasite Cleanse Transport Tech | Parts I, II & III With Vael Kaeris dying in the Battle of the Houses, Medical, Engineering and/or Science have to pick up his research and continue to work on a method of saving the Infested hosts from their parasites. The anyonic phase variance that the parasites inhabit has been detected, so the next step is to try and modify a transporter to isolate the parasite's presence in the body and filter it out of the host with a secondary annular containment beam. Until this breakthrough happens, the Theurgy will be forced to either kill both host and parasite with anyon phase emitter technology, or try to make more of the kemocyte-powered cannon mounted outside Doctor Nicander's cell. With kemocyte being rate and hard to obtain, and it being in Starfleet's best interest to save the innocent hosts of the parasites, the successful invention of this technology might be key for the next Episode.

Raiders of the Lost Crystals Benamite... a rare and unstable form of crystal which was extremely difficult to synthesize. After the Theurgy made the two QSD jumps through Klingon space, hairline fractures were found in the crystals in the Theurgy´s quantum slipstream drive. Before this adventure begins, a couple of Theurgy officers has looked into the reports from the USS Voyager, reading how Admiral Janeway's old crew constructed a quantum slipstream drive as well, at the heart of which were benamite crystals, just like in the Theurgy´s. The only difference was that the design of the QSD drive is altogether Savi in origin. Knowing that synthesizing more crystals would take years, it is clear they need to find more if the Theurgy is to use its QSD drive again. When asking around among the locals, Councillor K'Tal has given the Theurgy crew a lead on where to find more... but it won't be easy. The Theurgy officers having caught wind of a crystal-laden ruin/base/outpost on Qo'noS, the adventure begins with a an away team being on the way to explore it. They will find that they must deal with the place's denizens to get the treasure and get out alive. Little did they know that House Mo'Kai got scent of them as well, and followed them there...

Red Herring Residual forces of House Mo'Kai that don't acknowledge Mickayla's stewardship is getting ready to do something bad, and a couple of Theurgy officers receive a tip-off of some sort while on shoreleave somewhere on Qo'noS. They must investigate to find out more, but doing so, they get cut off from communications somehow, but still act to prevent the malevolent plans on their own.

Sulphurous Signal Gorath, also known as Theta Hydrae, was a star system located in the space of the Klingon Empire. A binary system with two blue stars, it was located approximately four light-years from the Qo'noS system. It was famous for the challenge of traversing its sulfur lagoons during the Day of Honor as part of the ritual in which a warrior evaluated his or her deeds for the past year to see whether he had been honorable. A crackly Federation distress signal reaches the Theurgy, contents almost impossible to make out, but suggesting a hazardous situation they can't survive without rescue. A hasty away mission is arranged, in which an away team has to traverse the dangerous depths of Gorath.

Enemies of the Empire A couple of Theurgy officers are minding their own business down on Qo'noS when they are attacked or threatened. They don't know why, not able to see the assailant(s). They must solve the mystery of their attacker's motives, and in the meantime fend off more attacks while being cut off from communications with the Theurgy, their combadges lost or destroyed in the commotion.

Close Encounters of the Savi Kind A couple of Theurgy officers find themselves beamed off Qo'noS whilst on shoreleave, Finding themselves waking up in a sterile, white box of a room without doors or windows. They have been stripped of clothing, and have to figure out how to escape. A disembodied voice is heard, telling them that they are being brought to the Scion High Council, which suggest that they must be on a smaller Savi ship and has a greater chance of escape, but there is no telling how much time they have before it is too late.

Contact the Federation News Network Since Federaton media outlets are not helping the mission in the slightest, peddling the lies of Starfleet Command, the time is due to confront FNN reporters. As an initial approach, Theurgy officers reach out, testing the waters in order to gauge the possibility to open their eyes to the truth, and to confront the claims about the Theurgy and what they actually did at Starbase 84, in the Azure Nebula as well the affiliation with Martok and the Klingon Empire. In this first contact made, Captain Ives is not involved - hir word not believed at this point anyway.

Antidote Dispersal Tech With the threat of a new Niga virus outbreak, scientist and engineers will have to research an array of dispersal methods for the antidote that Doctor Nicander synthesised during the Niga Incident. The Prompt is fulfilled at the conclusion of this research, which was ordered by Ives to begin on Day 1, but the scene takes place on Day 6.

Point Defense Phaser Cannons Based on salvaged tech from the abandoned palletized pod system that Thea depleted before they reached Aldea, PDPCs are developed to replace the old system, which grants point defence against incoming torpedo fire with automated phaser turrets that detect incoming enemy torpedo signatures. The Prompt is fulfilled at the conclusion of this installation, which was ordered by Ives to begin on Day 1, but the scene takes place on Day 6.

Holodeck Malfunction Trope In spirit of R&R, a couple of characters might have left their combadges behind when heading to the holodeck, trusting that Thea can alert them via intercom if so needed. The holodeck can simulate anything you desire, and nothing can hurt you. Except... when it malfunctions and the holograms try to kill you, and you can't escape. With Thea undergoing repairs, some unknowing rookie the deck below overloads some circuits, and your characters can have a little involuntary adventure before they manage to get out of the holodeck. Naturally, the aforementioned failure targets the safety features of the program too, along with the intercom. No one can hear them scream while they try to fight their way out, or make the program release them after some random condition is met.

Sweaty Repairs Gone Wrong A couple of characters get... distracted whilst doing repairs in a jefferies tube after the battles prior to the arrival to Qo'noS. It leads to, for example, an imminent cascade failure in Thea's EPS grid that they have to contain, and try to deal with as quickly as possible before they are caught having been careless on the job.

Group Therapy Given the toll of recent losses, an initiative is made to have groups of officers gather in different locations aboard the Theurgy, in which they can share memories of the fallen and the hardships they have undergone personally. With a non-disclosure policy in place, the officers in the group are obligated to not share what is being said in these sessions.

Token Rewards
Below are the Rewards earned by spending your Tokens. Only Theurgists who have earned Tokens may cash in a reward by sending a PM with the request to the GM.
Token Rewards | |||
---|---|---|---|
Reward | Type | Description | Token Cost |
Unlocked: Holo-Pet Privilege Holographic pet rights when off duty |
IC | After, at some point, having submitted a request to have a therapeutic pet projected by the shipwide hologrid when your character is off duty, the approval message arrives, and you are free to write a 500 word minimum post in which your character specifies the pet for Thea, and she projects it for your character for the first time. Only one pet per character is allowed, and the pet is not to be present when the character is on duty. Naturally, no humanoid pets are allowed, nor such of a species considered sapient. Failure to comply with this will lead to the Holo-Pet Privilege to be rescinded, and no real pets are allowed aboard the Theurgy. The GM will not make an image of the holopet, but the writer is free to add an image to their character page and add text about the pet in the section Special Notes at the bottom of the page.
Optional: You may also include this in a Supplemental One-on-One thread with another writer who either acts as tutor/trainer or unlocks the same Reward. |

This will take place on a holodeck of the Theurgy, and you are to NPC the trainer(s) in your post. If passing the course, your character will *not* have an exosuit of their own, but they will be able to use one if so needed. After you have written this experience and posted it, having lasted for 4 In-Character hours (which include safe usage of thrusters in zero gravity, the artifical muscle output and the operation of the wrist-mounted LCARS controls etc.) you may add this training to the Special Notes section of your character page.

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.

Something in the Ale Brestant, also known as Delta Leporis. It was a star located eight lightyears out from Qo'noS, being most famous for its single Klingon colony's Breshtanti ale. The brewery in the colony produced this intoxicating ale of a clear nature, and it was strongly favoured by Kor - a Dahar Master - who often drank it to excess. The colony on the only M-class planet (named Breshtanti) has gone silent four days prior. Councilor K'Tal claims that shipments ceased... but have again start to leave the colony. The Klingon spymaster sent a ship to investigate, but upon arrival, communications ceased, reason unknown. The Theurgy offers to assist, sending a shuttle there. Upon arrival, they find the colony deserted, and the small House K'Tal ship empty. The away-team move in to investigate, and that is the last the Mission Ops on Theurgy hears from them for quite some time...

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 Prompt 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 Prompt begins. In-Character Time: Begins asap after the Theurgy´s arrival at Qo'noS.

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 Prompt 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.

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 Prompt 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 Prompt, only a few crewmembers remain at the crash site, but unless this Prompt is accomplished, they will die before the end of this Episode. In-Character Time: Begins asap after the Theurgy´s arrival at Qo'noS.

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.

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!)

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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 Prompt 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.

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
