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.

Sabriel can fight, and will work to deal with any camp guards who cause problems, but she's probably going to be dedicating most of her energy to healing people, and attempting to help anyone trying to purify the poisoned water, using what she learned from Gyeonje.

Dean will be joining the Lookout Party ™, clad in his fancy biker gear with one of Yvonne's blasters. He's canonically an excellent shot, bullseyes since he was a wee six year old, and is skilled in hand to hand combat if it comes down to it.

Tossing Megatron in here, mostly in a supporting role, though he and Minimus are gonna have a slapfight about who gets to go into dangerous water.

Liiiittle late, but Rodimus is going here. Much like Drift, he can get his holoform in there and when things inevitably go south, he's a giant robot who can set himself and his surroundings on fire. Or just smash things, you know how it goes.

WHERE
Gwen strongly suspects the orb is in the reservoir located in the water purification site: according to Viveca, the orb is in the camps; the water purification site is the only one with something unexplainable (the infection) occurring; and neither Fables or the government have the orb.

HOW
The orb will require teamwork to get to it. First, its location within the reservoir must be narrowed down, which will require those capable of sensing the orb, facilitated by one of the Fables' flycycles; next, the water volume must be reduced as much as possible in that area, either by moving or removing the water, as the greater the amount of exposure to the infectious element present the more damaging its effects; orbers will need to be on hand to provide purification methods or wards to whoever is diving for the orb to further protect them from the contaminated water or retrieving supplies such as cables to tie around the diver(s) to pull them out in case of emergency; this done, Gwen can open a portal to the orb's location with her watch so that whoever will be retrieving the orb need to swim/wade as little as possible through the reservoir; finally, orb (hopefully) in hand, the diver(s) need to be removed quickly from the water (such as by being scooped out by a very large, very fabulous Hollywood actress 😌).

    (This plan is a summary of that put together by several players on plurk, made available to the game at large. Everyone is invited to participate, either volunteering for a specified role or suggesting their own!)
WHAT
One of Viveca’s requests was to apologize to Cal for leaving him to fight her fight alone. Gwen does not know Cal, but she does trust Viveca—and the planet is clearly dying. Should Cal accept it, Gwen recommends giving the orb to Cal to do what he feels is best to rescue the planet—and keeping the orb as far away from Viveca's father as possible.

With Megatron volunteering himself to attempt to retrieve the orb since he's (probably, he assumes) less susceptible to the awful stuff in the water than squishy humans and doesn't need to breathe oxygen.

Here is a very large, very fabulous Hollywood actress reporting for duty!

Rita has the ability to manipulate her own cellular structure (this aids her in halting her aging, healing wounds, etc.), and has been able to withstand poisons such as radiation, which would allow her some tolerance against the poisoned water, at least for a limited amount of time. Since she can also grow her body to an incredibly large size, she'll be able to scoop out any divers that go in for the orb to get them out of the contaminated water as swiftly as possible or even retrieve anything within the water as needed.

Minimus is also volunteering to be the one to go inside, as he has a secondary layer of armor for extra protection, and being smaller might help if the orb is in a tight spot.

He also has old logs from the library that might help pinpoint the location of the orb (he assumes it's in the epicenter), but I'm not too sure how specific the information will be.

EDITED TO ADD: Minimus will keep in contact with the others on orb retrieving duty and upon finding if, he'll allow for some extra time for others to save more prisoners, based on his understanding that they're all being transported to the ship the moment he touches it.

For the log 2 mini-search thread, since not everyone has each other on plurk!

Let's first get a headcount - who wants to participate?

He's definitely in on this and is eager to see what's past the door. However, he also winds up with the RNGed thread with the Mayor, so he'll end up being split from the group I think? We'll see how that goes.

Editing to say: actually his whole contribution might end up being that he's keeping the mayor distracted. Who knows if that's helpful or not but I don't think he can do both at once.

Bones is interested in finding Fouad, because she probably has a better idea of where on earth the orb could possibly be. Finding her means finding out more about the infection and he'll be better able to treat those infected, which is where his priorities are.

He will also be vehemently against anything that could cause the Orbers to leave immediately with the orb, because he's had enough of leaving places in shambles. Once Yvonne or whomever does her thing with it, then they can take it home.

ETA: Also, in lieu of Fouad, maybe searching through records at the camp itself? They could tap Team Hackers for an assist there, to loop in more non-powered orbers as well.

ETA Part 2: ALSO Bones would suggest that they give the orb to Alexandra, versus Cal.

Wei Wuxian will be offering his services in the form of water purification arrays! While purifying the reservoir remains entirely out of his capability, his idea would be to supply whoever is going into the water with the arrays or talismans to add a layer of protection against the water they come into contact with. Arrays would be more helpful as they tend to be stronger, so if it's a surface he can carve into, that's what he would do, otherwise if it's something like a transformer who probably doesn't want to be carved into, he'd trace the array on them with his blood.

Not sure how Zhao could help, but a locked door is definitely something to get behind. He'd be down for figuring out how or who gets through the door. And searching what's on the other side.

His fortes are being a high STR stat fighter and being a teasing gremlin learning things quickly, so however that helps in this situation use it to the group's advantage! (I'm not sure I understand the door's locking mechanism or how they could get past it or else I'd say more how he could help but until then, yo! He's there and willing to lend a hand.)
