THE FOX AND THE HARE: plotting post 2 + voting + sign-ups


JULY PLOTTING POST: MISSION LOG 2


The time has come to reveal some of the upcoming plot developments regarding the second log. Before we get into planning, here is a quick recap of what has been discovered so far:

E-23b is Viveca’s homeworld, and Viveca herself used to be a member of the Fables, codename Fox. She is the daughter of the mayor and Alexandra Reman, who is now in one of the labour camps.

The Fables collect supplies that seem to be aimed for humanitary aid.

The Seventh Circle consists of four different labour camps, which are heavily guarded.

The people in the labour camps wear collars that explode if they try to escape. Attempts are being made to neutralise the collars.

A member of the Fables called the Lion has been recruiting new members by speaking to a variety of the Orbers.

Yvonne is suspected to be the absentee Wolf, and owns a variety of weaponry.

Both Alexandra and Callan have asserted that the Fables don’t have the orb, and Alexandra doesn’t believe the mayor to have it either.

The original site of the earthquake that began the disease that infected the water is in one of the camps in the Seventh Circle.

The Fables headquarters is underground, in an abandoned metro station. The Fables seem to be collecting different supplies and building means of transport.

The original mission file has the wrong location for the orb: instead, it is in one of the camps. Furthermore, the infection in the water is not natural.


· THE LOG

The events of the second log follow directly from what the characters have already learned. While we will not detail everything here, these are the points that affect character decisions.

The characters who received either the words “go to where animals go to rest” from the Lion, or another similar instruction (everyone involved in these search requests) are expected to head to the Den in the Fourth Circle at some point following their meeting with a member of the Fables. In the Den, after ordering a drink and paying, they will receive a receipt from Yvonne, and on it they will find a date and time. If they come to the Den at that exact time, they’ll find there’s an exclusive gathering of people there — everyone called in by the Fables. Due to his job, Dean is present here as well.

Yvonne will lead them down to the bar’s basement, from where they can access the underground network and find themselves at the Fables HQ. There, they can meet Ziggy and get the briefing for what the Fables are planning: in a week’s time, they will launch a cyber attack on the camps’ security. Their ultimate goal is to temporarily lock the guards in their towers and take over the camps, changing the security so that no guards or government officials can access them. That way, they believe they will save both the people and the resources.

Callan explains that they need people in four different tasks:
Hacking. Led by the Raccoon, this team will focus on overriding the camps’ security systems and rewriting them, as well as causing a blackout in Chacier House as a distraction. This requires them access to some specific files in the Chacier House, which leads to:
Infiltration. There is a parliamentary meeting in the Chacier House as the blackout falls, and some people will need to infiltrate the meeting and then sneak away in the chaos, to find their way to where they can access the files.
Lookout duty. While the aim is to lock the guards in the towers they stay at, some breaking out is always a possibility, and so some are required to stay near the towers in the Seventh Circle and make sure the guards can’t make their way to the camps.
Camp reinforcements. A major part of the plan is getting into the camps themselves, neutralising the people loyal to the government and helping the people there.

As the Orbers being from different worlds is known to some of the Fables, they are told they can involve their team members in this, and so those in the meeting with the Fables can share the information with others and recruit them to different tasks.

· THE OOC SIGNUPS

For the purposes of putting together the log, much depends on who goes where and what skillset those people have. This is why we ask everyone to inform us which group their character will be a part of and how they intend to help that particular task force. This will ICly affect the log and the conclusion. The vote is HERE and it will close on July 2, 6PM GMT. We ask that everyone pick one group to sign up for — though in the log itself, if your character has teleportation powers or other means of quick transport, you’re free to have them participate in multiple groups.

There is also another vote, this time regarding the orb. We ask you to tell us ICly what your character thinks of:
• where the orb is
• how they should get it
• what they should do once they get it.

The vote is HERE, and it will open at the same time as the log goes live.

Finally, there are 2 slots for NPC threads in this log. The slots will be RNG’d. If you would like for a chance to thread with an NPC, please submit your response HERE by July 5, 6PM GMT.

Probably should have asked this in the first phase but I've never been accused of planning well — how at risk are the robuts for discovery, and is the planet technologically advanced enough to potentially hack them?

Drift has been playing it safe with his identity and can allow for his holoform to be taken to one of the camps to work on the inside while staying close by if he needs to transform because when you're overthrowing fascists rounding people up, and putting them into labor camps — it helps to be a giant robot made of swords.

If Drift's human guise is 'injured' or his collar is activated, his real body will be temporality knocked out, and he'll be disoriented but still a perfectly useable car (hopefully you guys took his driving lessons right? right??)

Daisy has a lot of experience with hacking into small things like, you know, the NSA. Daisy will help those infiltrating find where the files are, if at all possible. She’ll also set the cameras on a loop so, at the very least, it takes security a while to realize something is going on. Assuming the areas these files are located in have some kind of access pad, she’ll attempt to hack those to aid the infiltration team in, as well as keep security out should they become aware of where the Orbers and others are.

Okay from a different angle, using the same capabilities, could he listen in on their devices/chatter and keep an ear out for if something changes? In this case probably making sense to be on the lookout team just to be physically close to them.

Blue's joining Finn, Peter, and Zari in one of the towers and will be using his telekinesis/psionic tricks to help hold guards in place for as long as he can...until the stress of everything + getting too overzealous on relying on his medicated state causes him to overclock and erupt in a psionic explosion of [fuck around and find out consequences]. Finn and Zari players confirmed they can help keep things from entirely burying them to death at least!!!

THIS IS AMAZING

Does Yvonne want Dean to do anything specific, or does she give him any of her fancy weapons or anything like that? He'll do whatever he's told, hot lady is hot 8)

Rita will join on lookout duty with her focus primarily on holding back the guards. She has the advantage of her stretchy limbs which allow for a slight uptick in strength to hold someone back and restrain them, so if any of them attempt to slip out from the towers and make a dash for it, she can even wrap her arm all around them to keep them from getting too far.

Her biggest asset though, which will require some major mental focus on her part, is allowing herself to actually grow big. If some of the doors or entrances of the towers fail to remain closed, Rita can attempt to become a full blockade with her own body, holding guards back with a giant hand or just seating herself fully in front to block them if she has to.

Yzak's been spending his time in the ~POLITICAL WORLD~ being a ~political man~ of ~whatever level of political height~ that he's been working toward (up to mods of course, but he's been hard working on his own merits, does have experience in government in canon, and has had Blue's help to pinpoint specific people to climb over and specific topics to focus on to gain attention and standing)! So he's going to be one of those at the meeting.

He probably knows the layout of the place pretty well by now, and has made both acquaintances and people that he DON'T LIKE who in turn don't like him (because he's butted heads with quite a few people in his time here since he doesn't hold his tongue and calls some of these chuds chuds if he thinks they're chuds!!) so he'll have an idea of who to avoid and who could be where or headed in what direction based on who they are/what they do/where their offices are.

Of course it'll be chaotic so if they DO run into anyone he can try to speak to them and smooth things over/act as confused in the chaos as they are, or just, ya know, knock someone out if he's gotta with a nice Coordinator choke-out or a punch to the face. Esp if they need anyone's bioscan to get somewhere more safeguarded where the files may be? He'd drag around an unconscious body Weekend at Bernie's style for that.

rhys will be helping out with neutralizing people through whatever means necessary :) he can help out a Little, but most of his effort will be put forward into subduing any hostiles.

alina will be concentrating most of her efforts on providing barriers for incoming fables, orbers, as well as any prisoners that find themselves in the crossfire. by channeling her sun summoning into spheres built from light that can act as shields, she'll be working on absorbing blaster fire from the guards.

additionally, alina will make an effort to try livestreaming footage through her platform on the holonet, if at all possible! her main goal in doing so is to fully expose the ongoing conditions of the labor camp and the inhumane treatment of its prisoners, especially the explosive collars around their necks and/or any evidence of human experimentation.

clarice will be joining team infiltration for the sole purpose of providing the team an easy getaway. while it would be great if she had access to the fables hq beforehand, or even the seventh circle's camps, she can still provide a portal for the team to escape into anywhere else in the arch that she's had previous access to (like, say, the den) as soon as they get in and get what they need.

afterwards, though, she would be focusing on helping out the camp reinforcements, also providing portals to any laborers who need immediate escape.

Since they have a ton of folks neutralizing loyalists, McCoy will put together a small unit, open to anyone, focused on getting some kind of field hospital set up somewhere safe and seeing to the injured and any prisoners who need it. His overarching goal will be to find either Fouad or more details of wtf they've done to those in the camps so they can be assessed and treated.

since joe is immortal, he's going to be acting as a human shield, as one does when they can't stay dead :) he also has experience in liberating places such as these so he will not hesitate to fuck up any guards that get in his way of ushering people free

Character: Finn McStarWars
General plans:
Finn's on lookout duty and will be helping to secure the towers while keeping the guards safely locked up.

Blue's also apparently going to get overwhelmed and psionically explode, so Finn's also going to be helping to save people and trying to keep a tower from collapsing on their heads (w/ the Force, ofc). Whether that's successful or not is yet to be seen.

Info sharing: He doesn't have any extra hot goss, sorry.

Would "asking" the scientists be useful in finding protective equipment for exploring the lake? Mims isn't the best at intimidating people, but he can offer to help search.

unfortunately, due to the high toxicity of the water, no one has previously tried swimming or diving into the reservoir and thus there is no equipment to be found.

+1 collar removal support aid

[personal profile] kovach 2022-06-30 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
With the hope that Newt finds success with his research on disarming the collars, Kovacs will be acting as support in getting him into the camps, using his own skills in stealth and infiltration to slip inside while being a protective bodyguard for Newt for any worst-case scenarios (though with his own goal being "not to resort to violence", Newt will offer up to tase anyone that becomes an obstacle, like the pal that he is).

His main purpose, though, will be once Newt begins disabling the collars on the prisoners. Considering all the work and experimentation that they've gone through, it's inevitable that many may find themselves weakened from the physical turmoil on their bodies and from being overworked. Once collars are removed, Kovacs will be lifting and carrying any prisoners incapable of moving themselves too well, aiding to take them to any safety points where other Fables might be ready to transport them away.

He's also plenty capable of "leading a charge", instructing other members of either the Fables or Orbers to help him in carrying people, directing them where to go, while being firm in staying focused on the task at hand and their immediate priority — saving the prisoners.
