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.

Story Prompts

Writers Max Tokens Status
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.
  • In-Character Time: Day 08. Mission starts on1830. Assassination due at 2247 hrs.
  • Necessaria | Requirements are:
    • The starting post must begin with Captain Ives leaving the location, the briefing finished.
    • Set a posting order in the first post

    • [ 2 ] The Theurgy officers find B'etath without altering him about their presence until immediately prior to the attempt.
    • [ 2 ] The due "accident" is prevented, leaving B'etath alive, but he is not to be told how or why he was saved.

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.
  • In-Character Time: Day 11. 1900 hrs.
  • Necessaria | Requirements are:
    • The starting post must begin with Captain Ives leaving the location, the briefing finished.

    • [ 2 ] Somehow acquire the data converter by means of trade or from the hands of the Orion Syndicate
    • [ 2 ] Avoid having the officers become affiliated with the Theurgy or Starfleet.

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.
  • In-Character Time: Day 16
  • Necessaria | Requirements are:
    • Set a posting order in the first post
    • The thread starts somewhere off the ship, during R&R
    • 6 posts minimum per writer

    • [ 2 ] NPC the two interrogators, the male referring to himself as Supervisor 585, the female as Neith.
    • [ 1 ] Compile a report to Captain Ives about the incident in the last post of the thread.
    • [ 2 ] The outcome of the hearing depends entirely on how forthcoming the abducted officers are. If not, they are left where they are, and they must escape the forcefield/cage/whatever by some happenstance external reason. Alternatively, if they name the Infested as the true enemy and source of temporal disruption, and tell the truth about what they know, they are set free, and the interrogators say they will return. They also say that if the Theurgy or their allies - the Savi - tries to alter the timeline again, they will interfere. Regardless how forthcoming the captured are, the the Aegis will henceforth be a wildcard faction in the story to come. If the Tempus Sigillum project is mentioned, however...
    • [ - 6 ] ...the Theurgy´s mission may be compromised, and they may have a new enemy in the Aegis. The officers are left in the forcefield for a later, second interrogation, after they leave to send a report. The Theurgy officers must escape the forcefield by some happenstance external reason.

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...

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.

    • [ 1 ] Overpower the small crew of Scion-loyal Antecedents in the saucer.
    • [ 2 ] Figure out how to leave the cloaked saucer, since the Savi managed to send a distress call and there might be more saucers inbound, and the combadges recovered are out of range for the Theurgy. It means figuring out how to access and use the controls, as well as the comms array. A passing KDF ship would be a possible option.

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.

Writers Max Tokens Status
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.
  • In-Character Time: Any Day, lasting a couple of hours.
  • Necessaria | Requirements are:
    • Use a set posting order
  • Desiderata | To earn Tokens, the amount for each marked as [ X ] Tokens:
    • [ 1 ] Start the thread in medias res, entering the holodeck without combadges.
    • [ 1 ] Illustrate how they can't end the program or reach anyone outside, the intercom short-circuited.
    • [ 1 ] Resolve the situation in as a dramatic was as possible.
2-4 [ 3 ] Available!
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.
  • In-Character Time: Day 1
  • Necessaria | Requirements are:

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.

5
Unlocked: Starfleet Combat Training
Additional education in phasers and hand-to-hand combat

This will take place in the Security Centre of the Theurgy, and you are to NPC the trainer(s) in your post. After you have written this experience and posted it, having lasted for 8 In-Character hours - which include theoretical studies as well to provide some rest for the body - you may add this training to the Special Notes section of your character page. This training will allow for more versatile options at the characters disposal when faced with adversity, and you as a writer is eligible to illustrate this for your otherwise non-combat-oriented character.

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.

Having submitted a request for exosuit training, the approval message arrives, and you are free to write a 1000 word single post in which one of your characters step away from ordinary duties undergoes a one-day advanced training in using a Security exosuit (the Tactical CONN versions are virtually the same, but that edition is reserved for pilots). 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.

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.

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...
  • In-Character Time: Day 5, return morning of Day 6
  • Necessaria | Requirements are:
    • Make a Round-Robin plan, with a set posting order
    • 7 posts minimum per writer
    • Start the thread in medias res, already arriving at Breshtanti
    • A Type-11 shuttle is used, named after a famous scientist
    • NPC all characters encountered at the colony
  • Desiderata | To earn Tokens, the amount for each marked as [ X ] Tokens:
    • [ 2 ] A dampening field lay thick over the colony, its centre being the brewery. They head to the control centre of the brewery in order to try and deactivate it.
    • [ 1 ] They eventually find a few colonists and the missing House K'Tal klingons, all infected with the Niga virus. Without any antidote on hand, the Theurgy officers have to be creative.
    • [ 1 ] Piecing events together from surveillance cameras, the majority of the colony was beamed off the planet. Doctor Nicander and a couple of Scions can be seen tampering with the ale, adding a chemical replicator the production line. The freighters leaving the colony are set on auto pilot, and considering the local Niga outbreak, it's not difficult to guess what has been done to the ale.
    • [ 1 ] While Nicander is no longer present, two Scions are in the control centre, and they are not to be easily killed. Once the dampening device is disabled/destroyed, Councilor K'Tal has to be told to that all the freighters that left the colony must be destroyed immediately.

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.
Prompt 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 Prompt might have thalaron-related repercussions on 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.
Prompt 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.

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.
Prompt Parameters to earn Tokens:

  • This Prompt 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 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.
Prompt Parameters to earn Tokens:

  • Begin with the Prompt 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 Prompt 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.

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!)
Prompt 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, Tokens may be earned after each writer's 5th post

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
Prompt 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

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.

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
Prompt 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.

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.
Prompt 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
Prompt 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.

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
Prompt 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

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.
In-Character Time: Finished before 0800 hrs. on Day 03

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.
Prompt 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.

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

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
Prompt 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 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.

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 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

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.
