Discussion: Ideas for Reskinning Incarnate Trials?

I don't mean this literally, but rather in a roleplay sense. Assume you had a former loyalist from the responsibility arc, and that character did not wish to completely abandon their Praetorian roots to the extent of returning to their home country and directly attacking its military forces (Lambda Trial) and established institutions (BAF Trial). I can seen both arcs of resistance doing so, and I feel a power-arc loyalist could easily make that choice, but I don't see a way to do so as a loyalist without abandoning what that character stood for. Doing so doesn't make one a responsible citizen upholding what is good, and fighting what is bad from within the system; in my opinion it makes that character a traitor and turncoat.

Sure, one could argue that the scripted character development asserts that a former loyalist must abandon their roots to this extent to play the content through, but I reject that. I feel we players decide our characters' development, not blindly follow a set, one size fits all, script.

Further, one could just skip the incarnate trials until there is incarnate content that doesn't involve the character's abandonment of principle I described above. I'm not holding my breath for that content. One could just ignore the roleplay basis of the incarnate trials, get the powers and boosts, and consider them one's core powers continuing their natural development. I've seen a few players roleplay this, and treat their presence on the incarnate trials as completely out-of-character. Most for their own reasons, not the one I described in my opening paragraph.

As an alternative, one might run the trials as is, but then write a substitute trial experience into the character's history. This is what I meant by 'reskinning' the trials from the thread title. So this is my question. How might the trials be re-described after the fact to support the enduring characterization of a responsible loyalist?

I have two Loyalist Pro-Praetorians who are Anti-Cole. They see the invasion as bad for both worlds, and don't want to see it happening. If that means being proactive to prevent it, then proactive they must be. They feel the IDF would be much better put to use in helping to clear the world of the Devouring Earth rather than invading Primal Earth.
