I've been in contact with Ayazi in PMs. He made sure I knew he would be in a position IRL where he would have a lot of trouble posting for about three months. This was told to me about two months ago. He has not in any way been dropped; Vega and Sarina are merely 'on hold' until he is able to rejoin us. I labeled Vega as an NPC and Sarina as not because Vega, being part of a still-active team, might need to be moved around or acted on or with in some way by her teammates in Ayazi's absence. I could have labeled it better, but at the moment I just didn't do so, instead sticking with the dichotomy of 'played by Ayazi' versus 'NPC'. Would 'temporarily unavailable' work? Or would you rather I reverted it to 'played by Ayazi'? I'm fine either way.

@Kaithas even thought it is true that Kaithas' presence in the RP has been minimal as of late because someone alluded to Kaithas collaborating in a recent post. I am also afraid to reproach a member of team BASL for inactivity in a situation where there's ambiguity.
