Base and SV1: Officially being given a green light by the Admiral, the expedition enters the main base, with the plans of relocating to it from the small outpost. While getting the base up and running, the teams are in for a surprises as they fully explore their new home.

SV2: Meeting another potential ally to joining their small yet ever growing number of new friends, the team finds themselves betrayed when Taraksur's men take them hostage in order to bring the original members of SV-1 for their exchange.

One more week to go!

Episode Six will be starting in a bit over a week so it's time to start wrapping up your current plots. By next Wednesday the following cliffhangers need to be in place:

• Base/SV-1: Narad reveals the reason why the base was abandoned generations ago, with the Base Personnel and SV-1 splitting up next episode to deal with the situation.
• SV-2: the team is captured by the forces of the Asuras to be interrogated.
• USS Shiva: the aliens causing the hallucinations reveal themselves and warn the that the team can never leave the planet they are stranded on due to The Balance.

Have a chat with your team CO/XO or a friendly moderator if you have any questions.
