It's Wednesday! We're more than halfway through the week. Since we are over the hump, let's look at a question!

We maybe our nine promos! But at least some of them need a story and they all need a new image!

So propose a story for any and/or all of them. We want a story, image suggestion and lore. Bear in mend space constraints when making your submissions.

Remember that the story should be enough to guide us to a specific moment. A bad example of a story is 'McCoy being Incredulous.' A good example is McCoy being incredulous at Spock stating they need a common frame of reference to discuss death.

For the image, we are looking for words more than links, but feel free to sue a link to illustrate your point if you are so inclined.

Be sure to get your submissions in no later than Tuesday, January 17, 2023. Note that you have longer than a week to work on this.

You may submit a story for each card but only one per card. If you get inspired after the fact, please modify your submission accordingly.

Fair Warning: These cards will be sent to rules for a review. If a card does not pass the muster, we will sue a backup.

Ross Note: There is a tie with the runoff. I'll cast the deciding vote for B'Etor to take us to nine.

Ross note 2: To make things easier for me, please use the format below for your submissions. They must be in the same order and the cards must be in the same order provided.

It has almost totally ionized our atmosphere. All power sources have failed. All its orbiting starships are powerless. The probe is vaporizing our oceans.
