Fear Plot Planning Post
Jul. 1st, 2012 12:17 amStarting a bit late but even with my life being crazy, it took me a while to decide and commit to one pup. But I've finally decided to abuse poor Trip with fear plot.
It's going to start small, with him swearing he's seeing Xindi on the island. The Xindi are a race of aliens that wanted to destroy Earth in Enterprise's third season. They attacked Earth with a super weapon that cut a path through parts of South America and Florida, notably destroying Trip's home town and killing his sister, Elizabeth. The Xindi have five subspecies: Aquatic, Humanoid, Ape, Insect and Reptile. The Aquatics stayed mostly neutral, the Humanoid and Ape eventually work with Enterprise to stop the destruction of Earth and the Insect and Reptile were the most gung oh on killing all humans. It was up to Enterprise to stop them and basically started a year of hell for the crew.
So it's going to start with him thinking he's seeing Aquatic Xindi on the island. Then it will step up to Humanoids and Apes, then finally Insects and Reptiles. I'm thinking of stepping it up through the month of July and August. Then in September, it will be Xindi ships and the Xindi Superweapon in the sky. Finally, in October, he will be reliving battles with the Xindi, complete with dead crew mates, especially Archer, T'Pol and Malcolm, and visions of his dead sister.
What is the most important thing about all of this is that sometime between August and September, this is going to cause his nightmares to return. After his sister was killed, Trip started to have revenge and grief fueled nightmares that caused him to be unable to sleep. So, he will probably start to become a bit irritable and crabby in general throughout September. Also, for anyone who normally 'sleeps over' this is a good thing to know.
This will (hopefully) culminate with Trip having almost a complete break down on Halloween, followed by the arrival on the island of one Malcolm Reed, if Sarah can app him by then. This isn't set in stone but it is the hopeful conclusion. This will probably change but right now, there's what it is!
First EP, with him seeing the Aquatic Xindi will go up on Mon/Tues (July 2/3) and I'd love to set up some Private Threads as well, especially when the nightmares start.
