Mostly you have to pick a reason that your group of players can buy into.  If you know your group is likely to change players a lot, give yourself a lot of wiggle room when setting up the scenario.  Make sure there's always at least a little wiggle room anyway, just in case a character dies or real life gets in the way.</blockquote>
