I may be getting uninvolved with this thread, but I do have a structural suggestion for that little problem.<br/><br/>You're somewhat delayed in moving forward while you wait to see who is/isn't joining you next, yes? In that interim period while you wait to see if Loves' 5th body is showing up, and further waiting if you still plan to hold for the co-GM and her SO to join or confirm not joining, you could use your current core cast to play out Cherish's discovery with whomever that's going to involve (I'm guessing a minimum of Griff +1?).<br/><br/>To avoid the possible conflict of combining that discovery with the ongoing scene involving characters/players who aren't really interested in carrying on, you can just focus on that discovery of Cherish and, when that scene reaches its climax and would naturally progress back into the rest of the scene on the planet,<em>that</em>is where you cut to it having been Griff flashing back/dreaming about recent events.<br/><br/>This way Cherish gets to have her discovery scene and you can pass right over everything else that was happening at the time to skip ahead and get up to speed on "current" events.
