Well, they've been dropping ambiguous hints about "a plan" when the subject came up. Everything beyond that is just what people have inferred from that.
These things take time.
Patience, grasshopper.

I'm curious. Are you privy to the plan? I don't expect you to share what you might know about the plan (I know there's no amount of gold pressed latinum that would make you spill the beans
), I'm just curious if you are in the 'know'. 
I know absolutely nothing about it. Lately Margaret is using me exclusively as a TOS guy, and before that as the ENT guy, so I've been out of the loop on the 24th-century stuff since my last DTI novella in 2017. I've been tempted to ask Dayton or Dave what their cryptic hints entail, but I've been too busy with my own stuff (including my upcoming original duology Arachne's Crime and Arachne's Exile, and my Patreon page, plug, plug) to devote much attention to it.

“They” can also refer, in a general sense, to someone unknown. “Look, some nut is climbing over the wall into the Klingon compound. They’re going to get hit with disruptor fire!”.

I'm quite fond of the singular "they" when it comes to talking about hypothetical individuals in the abstract. It's better than writing "he or she" all the time or automatically defaulting to male pronouns.
For example: "I'd like to see an author write a book about Sybok. I wonder how they would handle it."

Yup. That's the way it was used in English for hundreds of years until a bunch of snobs started inventing arbitrary made-up grammar rules about what was "not allowed" in English so they could pretend they were superior to the commoners who didn't learn the rules.
If they write a Sybok book, they'll be my favourite author.
Must … not … make … rude … joke….A little plug never hurts
I'm wondering this supposed plan has anything to do with one of the sub-plots from To Lose the Earth...
There are several hints that the Krenim are up to temporal shenanigans. Maybe the Krenim are responsible for some kind of change to the timeline which negates the novelverse. Or maybe I'm an overenthusiastic fan reading waaaaaaaaay too much into things. Who knows?

Perhaps a solution could involve also explaining the differences with the STO timeline.
Bottom line: the Iconians did it.
In fairness, Dave and I told Christopher everything about the plan last year at Shore Leave, but then..........
Someone help me out here. I'm drawing a blank here and now it's driving me crazy
When making my original post about a little plug never hurts I was thinking of A Christmas Story when Ralphie gives his teacher the fruit basket and says "yes, a little bribe never hurts"--and don't ask me why that popped in my head when reading Christophers post. Weird stuff pops in my head all the time.
But is there some alternate take I'm missing? I think I've spent too much time in the sun probably.

The joke Dave is thinking of involves a place where the sun doesn't shine.
You know me so well.
Ok, thanks for clearing it up.
Usually I get jokes right away, but this one was just over my head.
Rather lower than that, I think...
