''Although I enjoyed exploring Tenzin Zhou's "quiet sadness" regarding his tumultuous relationship with his wife and the aftermath of [[Jessop, Veralise|Veralise Jessop]]'s death, I realized that I had perhaps put too much angst in him. In short, it was becoming less fun to write for him. Sure, there was the [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SB118-Independence/message/18443 occasional oddball moment], but in general, he had become so serious, that I needed a different outlet. Enter Msafiri. Writing a character who from the start didn't like the rest of the ''Independence'' crew immediately brought an interesting perspective to the SB118 universe I had been simming in for the past several months. However, Msafiri's temper needed a counterweight lest he become just a stock antagonistic non-villain (i.e. a jerk). Thus, I created a loyal friend for him in Ayelet. If readers felt she was a friendly, good, and optimistic character, then by extension, they would feel there must be something more to Msafiri since she considers him a close friend.'' | ''Although I enjoyed exploring Tenzin Zhou's "quiet sadness" regarding his tumultuous relationship with his wife and the aftermath of [[Jessop, Veralise|Veralise Jessop]]'s death, I realized that I had perhaps put too much angst in him.

Thus, I had Ayelet join the ''Independence''. Something different though happened once I took her away from DS17. She suddenly was the outsider, and I felt disappointed that she seemed to have lost the spirit I had originally intended for her. Part of that was perhaps the fault of her abduction by the FTU pirates, which at least initially seemed to place the character in a weak position. Still, I'm pleased with how that story turned out, writing mainly with [[User:Eyas Wtine|the writer]] for W'tine/FTU pirate Avro Hawker.'' | ||
''Yet, it was when I had Ayelet reunite with Msafiri in [[SIM: LtJG Ayelet Kadosh: The Many Causes of Tears|"The Many Causes of Tears"]] that I saw sparks fly again.

No, not the romantic kind but rather the dramatic kind. ''There'' was the spirit of the character I thought had gone missing! Was it then just a simple matter of accepting that Ayelet needed Msafiri to be interesting? Fortunately, the answer is no. The [[User:AlleranTan|writer]] for Alleran Tan rejoined the ''Independence'' and along with Tan, he brought a new character, Sergeant Zeet Tidari, a Caitian marine medic and pilot, a similar "outsider" on the ship. Since Zeet's arrival to the ship, I've enjoyed exploring more of just who is Ayelet: playful colleague, occupation survivor, dedicated friend... whoever she is, it's not just up to me but also the other writers of SB118, and that's what makes simming in this "fleet" so exciting and enjoyable.'' | ||
