Not that much time has passed with regards to Apparitions. So either your storyline is set before with conquests complete by the time Apparitions storyline starts with BDE nanotechnology being moved to Ultrapolis Major...
Well, for TNO history (in any event) Apparitions storyline is going to be what I call an anchor roleplay in the manner that Transitions was.
An rp storyline will either be set before, during or after. Transitions however covered about a year IC. Apparitions, as far as I know, will not cover that much IC time (perhaps at most, 4-6 months...depending on what Theren does).
So, what I am saying is, if you are setting your story before Apparitions, that gives me something to go on (within TNO storylines) to fit our Quermia action around. If your storyline is taking place in the 4-6 months that Apparitions is happening, then that means the perspective of my characters has changed somewhat and will need to be incorporated into my actions. (ie: BDE expansion can either be old news or it can be a fairly recent event within storyline).
As for how our action on Quermia affects you in storyline, I cannot really say as I do not think that Quermia has even entered your storyline yet.
Granted, when it does, there will be that perspective that needs to be added to my rp as well.
As for what happens within the storyline, let me know how Quermia fits into your overall story and I'll let you know where I am going with my rendition. I am sure we can meet somewhere in the middle.
I haven't drawn the story around the Quermians yet in my rp even though action is being taken against it. I'll have to go over your roleplay to see if you make any references to Quermia (hinting at how it will play into your overall plotline).
