Welcome to Unofficial Literary Challenge #50: "King Redux the Fifth"!
Prompt "First Contact"
Prompt 1: "Redux"
Pick a prompt from any previous literary challenge, official or unofficial, and make a new story with it.
Prompt 2: "Delegation of Power" by @antonine3258
Captains in the current era are usually 'lead from the front' types, but sometimes you have to put agency into your subordinates - a mission, some stroke of luck, or simple politics has the captain left behind as their loyal team of bridge officers has to complete some task - dangerous or no, how does your captain handle the passivity (or just the not knowing what's going on)?
Prompt 3: "The Captain who would be King" by @moonshadowdark
"During a routine expedition through the Gamma Quadrant, you discover a planet rich with natural resources. As you beam down to take sample readings, you are spotted by the pre-warp inhabitants, who view you as a god and demand you remain on their planet to serve as their king. How will you get out of this? Write a log detailing your escape or how your reign went."
As usual, no NSFW content.
