Episode 2 Chapter Three: Objectives Joint Post

This is a wiki page dedicated to the Joint-Post writing of Chapter Three in Episode 02: Cosmic Imperative.

Writers will find the objective(s) they've opted to describe/document achieving on this page and will have until a set date to write In-Character segments. This set up will serve to increase the pace and alacrity at which this epic multi-vector episode is depicted.

Rules:

• The order of the slots has been inputted according to the Cosmic Imperative calendar of events.
• The chapter GM will "fluff" and weave the individual posts once all the objectives have been depicted.
• Write as much as you like and use as many NPC's as you like. Just remember that if you choose to kill off an NPC, the same rules apply here as in regular threads: get permission from GM first and, after the fact, update that NPC's wiki page to show the deceased.
• Once all the objectives have been written, the GM will alert chapter writers and they will then have the opportunity to look back through the objectives they did NOT write to and add in In-characters thoughts/responses to that objective if they feel so inspired
• Continual corrections and edits are encouraged to allow for a better flow.

Any continuity errors and discrepancies will be sorted out after the ending date and before the JP is posted in Chapter One, Episode 02. The GM will handle any latent formatting issues and conversion from wiki markup to forum BBC code before posting.

Fallout from Failed Diplomatic Dinner

'Now that the diplomatic dinner has been effectively crashed with murder and mayhem, this objective will detail the fallout of this dinner with the NPCs going back to their respective corners. Take creative license determining if you have any defectors from the Romulans (or Klingons) that stay onboard, captured saboteurs (though the saboteur story prompt is still separate from this), fallen comrades, injuries, as well as the fate of the alliance itself. If you have questions or ideas you'd like to run by the GM, reach out via PM/DM.

Receive and share thalaron trigger data

This will be a time-jump from the last objective but this objective should detail the receipt of the thalaron trigger data from the Apache and the efforts and difficulties of sharing that information with the Klingons, potentially against the Romulan "allies" preferences. Again, creative build-up of in-game canon is always encouraged and welcomed, and just like the above objective, this one is ripe for lots of intrigue and political maneuverings. If you have questions or ideas you'd like to run by the GM, reach out via PM/DM.

Tal'Aura's Forces Arrive+

Though the epic space battle will be played out in a regular thread, this objective can detail the arrival of Tal'Aura's forces and the prelude to the battle. This can also allude to the arrival of the Apache, the Allegiate, the Erudite, and the Ranger. They do not all arrive at the same time but are rather staggered so have fun building up tension and having the "timely" arrivals amp up the tension.
