I've been intending to get back to this story for a long time. But the time keeps getting longer and longer, and I think it's time I stopped keeping people waiting for an update that never seems to come.
This story requires a lot of micromanaging, what with keeping track of everyone's traits and treatment goals, and there just isn't enough time for me to do justice to several stories at a time. The Ben Oliver story (and the Mission Highly Unlikely story before it) have been so engrossing to me that all my time and energy seems to go into those stories.
So because I don't think I'm going to get back to this story soon, and because I've been feeling bad about making people wait, I think it's time for Ssttarr, Simgund, and Incubus to go into retirement. I apologize to those who referred clients for treatment - I know I've let you down, and I am sorry about that. Perhaps some day the Treatment Centre might start up again, but for now I think this is what I need to do.
I'm going to move this story to the Completed Stories board, as we did complete one treatment cycle, and there may still be people who might want to read the story.
Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to read and leave comments here.
