[@beyond visions] Well, if you are meaning that we are going to pull the plug with a pending "something's going to happen" I advise we wait at least until "Something IS happening" (like everybody is knocked out, or the ship is taken over, etc...) or "something HAS happened." (We are liberated by the Velbinians, or we make a daring escape, or there is an explosive drama that scatters the party.) That is a great place to pause or do a time-gap. However, with a pending something, it kills momentum because it pulls the plug before the rest of our gaming could compile into something.

So far as your Us vs. Them trouble. That can easily be changed by introducing interaction with pro-human factions, or showing some level of spectrum of confusion and opinion among the population. However currently, it feels polarized because it [i]is[/i] polarized. From the PC perspective, there hasn't exactly been any reason for us to not think that. For instance, the language they will only use (but refuse to teach us), the fact we are gassed and imprisoned, the only contact has been with guards and robots (disposable people) and then the monarchy I sort of forced an Us vs. Them environment.

[@beyond visions] [@atrophy] [@TheMadAsshatter] [@SheriffLlama] I think we've got a pretty rare thing going here, folks. Why don't we just [b][i]be[/i][/b] a gaming group? Like, we don't have to play the same game or even have the same GM, but we are a group and we stick together. That way people can do finals, holidays, etc... and we know that they will be back, because, you know, they are part of the group.
