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.

what kind of weaponry and communication devices will the guards be armed with?

I'm not sure if I should put this here or under hacking -- but I'll place my bets and say it's better suited here! Newton will focus heavily on the disarming of the collars — Kakashi is providing him both an unused/disarmed collar as well as his wristband used at the labor camps. With this and his scrap/tech shop supplying a hardy amount of goods, he will be devoting his time in making multiple disarming tools for the collars!

If mods feel there are proper materials available for success, these tools in theory should work by scrambling the proper trigger/switches in the collars that cause the explosion in the first place. Always up for extra hands/minds if anyone's interested in this area. Or just, like. Bring Newton some caffeine patches for the all-nighters he'll be pulling.

He'll bring these devices with him to the camps (pending they're okayed), as he plans on focusing his actual aid there instead of the other stuff he's less helpful in.

(EDITED NOTE: if the collars can be disabled from a distance and all at once via hacking, Newton can also attempt that if it's a better solution; Clara is open to helping on her end in the hacking department. But if long-distance disabling isn't possible or has been tried/failed before, disregard this note!)

Plotting - Minimus Ambus

[personal profile] legalcy 2022-06-28 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Name: Nara
Contact: [plurk.com profile] mutanthairything
Character: Minimus Ambus
General plans: Minimus is pretty sure that the orb (or at least a way to save the planet) is in the earthquake epicenter under the water. As he's a robot and doesn't have to breathe, he feels that it's safer if he goes down there to inspect the area, but he'll need some way to get back up. Maybe some cords or rope, or a way to communicate with the people at the surface?

He'll get into the camps in his Cybertronian form and help with defending the other Orbers otherwise.

Just to help with IC choices being made for this redhead, where might Ya-Ting, Cassie, and Emry be during all this?

totally not because someone in the team is especially super invested in their survival no sir no ma'am

I mean, he's already there. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(but yeah supposing the collars can be neutralized, he'll focus on protecting other people in the camps and he 100 percent plans to be the last one out of his. if they're threatened or pressed he'll bust out the 'Perfect' Susano'o. (giant chakra avatar mech with some OP hax but I'll leave its impact up to you guys since idgaf)

He'll try not to kill anyone but like, don't push him. If needs be he'll burn some motherfuckers down!!



edited to add that he might leave a clone with Alexandra specifically to look out for her if they wind up separated. couldn't save his mom, gonna try like hell to save Viv's ;;

would it be feasible for psychics/psychic-inclined people like Blue (n the Jedi n etc) to be able to hold them telekinetically in one place in one tower, or what kind of countermeasures would be in place for something to that effect?

Rosinante is no hacker but he's definitely already positioned well to infiltrate a meeting given his existing government employment, plus his attention to detail and ability to move silently (or let others move silently if there's more benefit to that). He'll be able to act his way in and out of situations as needed, provide distractions to redirect attention away from those who need to do the actual hacking, or directing the hackers to key areas where they can avoid detection and to get where they need to go.

And if he has to thump some heads in the process, well, he's good at that too.

Plotting - Rodimus

[personal profile] victorylap 2022-06-28 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Name: Chrono
Contact: [plurk.com profile] dragoon190
Character: Rodimus
General plans: Rodimus is probably going to get stuck in - either at the camps to defend the Orbers or helping actually retrieve the orb when they figure out where it is. He's fighty and fast and he's usually more inclined to action than sitting back and waiting or doing sneaky infiltration stuff. He'd rather go "loud" than not. Happy to throw him around as backup (or a wrench as he tries to direct traffic).

[personal profile] victorylap 2022-06-28 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Rodimus can help him with either of those, honestly. Lack of needing to breathe wheeee.

Less an 'immediate post thing' and more of a 'potential for plot/back to station things' but after Alexandra mentioned the people outside of the Camp who might be able to help get plans/schematics to Build a Better Viv, I ICly threw that ball at Kirk (with the thought that #teamscience could maybe figure it out once everyone's back at the station?) and is it possible to know (or will it mess anything up) timeline wise if that happens before or after the Jailbreak?

If it can happen before, is there any flavour text we could use there? (nothing impactful needed, just in the sense of 'Alexandra suggested (this address) and Itachi passed that along to Kirk to investigate'.

If it happens after that is also fine!! Just wanna watch out for the Best Girl Viv c:
