Okay, this one would be much, much longer-term out there, but it'd need a long time to develop and work out the finer details because of it's massive complexity. This is more one to discuss and then put on the plot suggestion post until we whip it out again. It'd have to be when everyone is down with a big gamewide.
The gist of it is this:
Going off one of Will's ideas with the group getting hit with a bunch of Bad at once, the crew gets involved in some big fight with some bad guys. Possibly the Ohm, but possibly another group tied in with them. Possibly BOTH. Several missions go out at the same time but are all traps that go HORRIBLY AWRY. The ship is invaded, too! It is a clusterfuck of epic proportions. Everyone gets to write out their character's epic death, there are explosions, people get vented into space! Stacy's AI is destroyed! And we have fun with the crew actually losing, and get to play how they'd go down fighting or afraid or whatever they'd all do as it ended.
The only thing that can save them? A time machine. But they HAVE one.
Amidst all the chaos, one group during one of the missions manages to tie the TARDIS back into the time vortex as the shit hits the fan, but with only enough power for a single jump backwards. One jump, and it won't even take them back as far as they need. The missions can still be salvaged with the right warning and backup, but they can't go far enough back to stop them from being sent.
The few survivors that manage to stumble back give their warnings, possibly vague ones and they might possibly be so injured by the jump back that they die without giving detailed information.
Working off cryptic clues, the crew has very little time to figure out the warnings, and must counteract all the traps and things that have been laid for them, in an epic race against time, in possibly one of the most tense conflicts they've ever dealt with so far!
This would definitely be a while off, and would definitely be one of those once-a-year-epic-gamewide type plots rather than something just crammed in willy nilly.
But it'd be like a season finale type episode of Trans9 if it were a sci fi show.
