MISSION [ a matter of import ] + plotting post

OVERVIEWOBJECTIVEARRIVALLOCATIONSPERSONS OF INTERESTOOC NOTES


OVERVIEW

In the Zeta Alatheia galaxy, the Interstellar Federation is responsible for overseeing the safety of all its planetary systems, dealing with any threats to its many planets and their inhabitants. Recently, they have observed disturbances in the Planetary Complex of Ndiera on the Outer Edge — otherwise a system known for its ghost-matter, an unseen substance that surrounds the planets that feeds on anything that might be classified as “powers”.

These disturbances coincide with a recent breakout from the high-security prison Obsidian Deep, where a convict called Zandr has escaped through unknown means. But whether it’s all a coincidence or not… that remains to be seen.

TOP


OBJECTIVE

Viveca has traced the orb to the Planetary Complex of Ndiera — however, the readings for the orb are confusing, and she has been unable to pinpoint its exact location to any of the three planets of Ndiera. The team must find out which planet the orb is on and recover it.

TOP


ARRIVAL

In order to be able to cultivate background stories and have the time to establish them, the Orbers will be sent out in three batches — though all will be teleported at once, they will arrive in Ndiera at different times.

Group 1 will arrive one month prior to the next group and two months prior to the OOC start of the mission:

Shuntaro Chishiya, Unohana Retsu, Rita Farr, Newton Geizler, Kazuma Asogi, Yujin Mikotoba, the Darkling, Yzak Jule, Natasha Romanoff, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Wei Wuxian, Stephen Strange, Lúthien, Andromache, Cal Kestis, Castiel, Lan Sizhui, The Wrench, Yennefer of Vengerberg, Fox Mulder, Anthony Lockwood

Group 2 will arrive one month after Group 1, and one month before Group 3:

Finn Mertens, Takeshi Kovacs, Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd, Leondard McCoy, Itachi Uchiha, Gina Lestrade, Ryunosuke Naruhodo, Mal Oretsev, Harley Quinn, Tim Gutterson, Tianyou Zhao, Shang-chi, Marta Cabrera, Nie Huaisang, Sabriel, Cassian Andor, Finn, Minimus Ambus, Geralt, Dana Scully, Adrian Bennet, Daisy Johnson

Group 3 will arrive two months after Group 1, and a month after Group 2, right before the events in the log:

Jake, Iris Black, Dante, Chuuta Kokonose, Ziggy Berman, Clarke Griffin, Yuri Leclerc, Alina Starkov, Poison Ivy, Yelena Belova, Joel Miller, Felix, Garma Zabi, A2, Joric, Jim Kirk, Jyn Erso, Rey, Dean Winchester, Vash the Stampede, Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon

To reiterate, when the first log begins:
Group 1 will have been in Ndiera for two months, Group 2 for one month, and Group 3 will have just arrived.

Regarding powers, those with powers can use them for a maximum of two (2) times before the ghost-matter will start to feed on them, meaning they will have to decide when and where to use these two times before they go powerless.

Viveca will provide those Orbers who might need it with a tonic that will alleviate any adverse effects they might experience from not using their powers.

LOCATIONS

Naephus is the biggest planet out of the three that make up Ndiera. The entire planet consists of multiple, sprawling cities connected to each other by speederways. Large skyscrapers reach for the stars, and the Federation insignia marks many of the buildings. The surface of the planet is covered in grimy streets, and only the brave — or the poor — use the streets that have become a hub of crime and various black market activity.

Nuhiri, the second-biggest planet in the Complex, is the polar opposite of Naephus: lush forests, crystal-clear lakes and even a few high mountain ranges present an ideal environment for the wealthy locals and travelers who want to stay away from the sometimes too-crowded, too-bustling city life. The capital, Xaolea, is both modern and curiously ancient, with sleek white buildings coexisting alongside stone-paved streets and pillars.

Deumia is the main centre of mining and technology — under direct Federation control, a wide variety of minerals are harvested for refining into products through the many factories scattered across the land. There is even a Federation Science Division Branch Office situated on the planet for more direct and efficient development of new technologies without having to first transfer raw material to the more central planets within the Galaxy.

PERSONS OF INTEREST

ZANDR
Convicted with a life sentence for high treason and murder, there are as many stories about his crimes as there are stars in the Galaxy… and he’s done nothing to curb any of these rumours. Known for his penchant to work alone, Zandr is one of the most notorious criminals the Federation has ever had the luck of catching — and the misfortune of losing.



Commander Grant L. Brennon
Current Commander of the Interstellar Federation, Brennon is a often described as immovable as the planets themselves. His strong sense of justice and abiding by the laws of the Federation, as well as his prowess in battle over the years makes him a highly respectable individual with an impenetrable reputation.



Chief of Staff Emerton G. Haughtford
A former Interstellar Ops member promoted to a higher position almost seven years ago for his excellent leadership skills and calm, measured manner of dealing with situations. Haughtford has been known to have an impeccable memory, and an eye for faces, which lends itself to feeling like more than just a number in his presence. He is someone to have in your corner whose trust is invaluable.



Chief of Security Adit B’nin
As Chief of Security, B’nin runs a tight ship. They are meticulous, deliberate and unyielding, and according to public poll within the greater galaxy, under B'nin's leadership, the people have never seen a safer time than now. They personally oversee the training of new recruits into the security division as a matter of preference.



Head of Science Department Ziahra Breezr
Laureate for the Caddel Prize for her ground-breaking research in ‘spectral particles’ otherwise known colloquially as ‘ghost-matter’, there is no one who appears to know more about the galaxy’s atmosphere than Breezr. Dedicated to her studies and to getting results, Breezr is not one to easily forgive mistakes as much of her job relies on perfect results.

OOC NOTES

This mission will span the months of April and May.

The team’s main objective is to find the orb and retrieve it. To do that, they have to find out which planet it is on, whether it is being used, and if it is, somehow get the current owner to hand it over to them.

As always characters are encouraged to share their findings and information through the network, and a mod-provided voting post will be posted later on in the month to prepare for Log #2.

The personal goals have been assigned, and can be found here. If you have any questions about your goal, please ask us here! In the same comment, there are instructions for what to do if you are unhappy with the task your character has received.

Please use this post to plot for the mission and make your own plotting comments. You can use the form below as a guideline:

[personal profile] kenpachi 2023-04-04 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Name: rhys
Character: unohana retsu
Personal task: `Loudly express an emotion and create a scene.` She's going to be amused by this — right now my general idea is maybe rescuing a character from a disaster by pretending to be their Angry Mom ('what are you doing out after curfew? Just wait until I tell your father—' sort of thing. younger characters would work best for this but lbr she's Ageless and given the society they probably have pretty long lifespans so idk?? Could also work for angry girlfriend/angry wife/disappointed teacher/etc)
Arrival: Unohana is in group 1! She's probably going to try to coordinate with Mikotoba re: medical care for the Orbers. (@DANNI?)
General plans for the mission: Unohana is not going to really bother with a cover story beyond her basic 'I am a doctor' vibe. I'd be down for her to have family shenanigans tho if anyone is interested!
ETC: She'll have a pretty easy time of not using her powers on the mission bc she's still happily undercover, but I'd love to have a dramatic situation where the options are helping someone with magical healing or having them die — obviously she'd choose to help! So if anyone wants to get their character injured... js.




Character: uchiha itachi
Personal task: `Impersonate a teammate for 24 hours.` When you give a spy a cookie... he may or may not use one of his 2 designated Power Uses for this, in which case he'd actually transform into someone else. If that's off the table he'll just impersonate someone on the network for 24 hrs.
Arrival: Itachi is in group 2!
General plans for the mission: space married to Wei Wuxian i gUESS but otherwise wide open. Itachi is always down for a wide variety of backstories given his perfectionist nerdery + eidetic memory so I can justify him doing p. much anything in terms of fake occupations/etc. If anyone wants to coordinate something, let me know and we can hash it out. Looking to deepen existing CR here or build new CR. Also, I 100 percent have the most fun when he's just going fullstop Spy Nonsense so like. If desires drive...

— for the newbies, a caveat: Itachi can be a persnickety motherfucker at times (tho ~18 months of development have mellowed him a bit he can still be a tough nut to crack) but I'm game for any sort of CR (neg or positive) and any direction that seems fun. let us go where our heart takes us!

[personal profile] dispassioned 2023-04-04 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Boooth?

Wait, I guess it depends. I still want Chishiya and Itachi to thread sometime, but if you were still planning to do station things with them, then Unohana and Chishiya and/or Itachi and Yelena for mission stuff. If that makes sense

[personal profile] blackfire 2023-04-11 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
i have returned to the land of the... semi-living and i'm going to tag your top level for chishiya for sure! i think itachi's mostly on Resort Planet but there doesn't seem to be an exhaustive travel time between them so maybe i could justify his being on Naephus for a thing? i do think this is a good mission for them to get acquainted because if he sees chishiya being nice to kiddos it would earn him a +1 that's hard to engineer anywhere else 👀

re: yelena - i'm not doing any top levels in pt1 but i could tag her inbox if you wanted a thing with yelena and unohana to balance out the boys? she's doing Doctor Work herself so that might work out if you wanted to get yelena injured or something on the mission :|a
laviny: (030)

[personal profile] laviny 2023-04-11 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Honestly I’ve been fairly indecisive with Yelena so far this mission, bc once the log went up it felt tailor made for Chishiya. But she is doing merc work so it’s not impossible she might get hurt! I will get back to you on that once I settle on things for her. Otherwise we can aim for doing something with them in part 2, if that’s easier. 😌

[personal profile] blackfire 2023-04-12 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
sounds good! let's focus on the boys then c: we can touch base abt our other duo down the line!

i'll try to boop a tag @ u either tonight or tmrw! i can do a wildcard if you want?

I am definitely up for backstory shenanigans w/ either Unohana or Itachi. (Your choice- Sabriel's going to be a student w/an internship involving research w/ ghost matter, and she'll be in group 2.)
blackfire: (Default)

[personal profile] blackfire 2023-04-11 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
honestly unohana being sabriel's Wine Aunt would be genuinely hilarious so i am all for that!

itachi is going to be mostly on the resort world so i'm not sure how much overlap we could squeeze out of that but ye def here for things with our gals!!
bindsthedead: (Art-Notice; Almost a smile)

[personal profile] bindsthedead 2023-04-12 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Aunt Unohana it is then. (Although Sabriel will at least be visiting resort world, gotta get all the sightseeing she can done.)

Absolutely cannot wait to see Itachi complete his mission. This sounds amazing.

Otherwise group one buddies!
blackfire: (Default)

[personal profile] blackfire 2023-04-11 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
okay but what if he's impersonating natasha tho


(like, he'd ask first. does she need an alibi for anything?? what's she up to)
deaddrop: (pic#15027557)

[personal profile] deaddrop 2023-04-11 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
800% into this, yes. No hard plans, but she SHOULD need an alibi. I sort of think she's trying to double agent things a little between trying to get into security things and ALSO crime things, so that could work.
blackfire: (Default)

[personal profile] blackfire 2023-04-11 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
let's do it i'm sold, 100 percent up for this being one of his power uses

do you think it's something you could get her to reach out about? ('hey does anything in the ninja grab bag do XYZ'?) if she would even... they've been making good strides lately!! but i don't know if he'd just arbitrarily decide to impersonate her (look he's a rude bitch but there are SOME lines...) without an impetus or reason so if we could wrap it up somehow into her double agent shenanigans it'd work out perfectly :|a


(if she wouldn't reach out i can probably find a way!! just thinking that might be the easiest first step if she'd go for it icly)
deaddrop: (celaenia olivacea)

[personal profile] deaddrop 2023-04-11 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, I think she might. I don't think she'd go to him to impersonate her specifically because I don't think she knows he can do that, and I don't know that she'd ASK him to use a power.

However I could see her going to him for help in a "I want people to think I'm in two places at once" way since he is a ninja.

Then things could go from there.

it is just now occurring to me that unohana looks a LOT like vash's actual mom figure who is super dead, so the angry mom angle on the personal goal could be really funny/sad

oh no rem...

i might be getting to my threshold for threads this event, but i'll take a peek at your TL and see if anything inspires!

The relief McCoy's gonna feel that his feral cat bro is part of his group n g l

He'll offer Unohana some valuable advice before she goes, as well

that's so soft beck wtffff on BOTH counts


i def want to wrangle some threads this mission!! our current bones+unohana thread probably doesn't need to be super long and then maybe we can do smth else down the line

i would love itachi and bones chillin' out together on the resort planet tho. pls take a holiday doc.

[personal profile] hatejakku 2023-04-05 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Finn's going into the Security Division so "impersonating" someone would probably be a really good way to get someone else in there, if Itachi's skills are needed. Honestly, with Finn or with any other character in other divisions. It's a fun task to get!

But also, Itachi impersonating people on the network would be hilarious...
blackfire: (Default)

[personal profile] blackfire 2023-04-11 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
i somehow completely did not see this comment IM SORRY LINA IM GARBAGE

i have a tentative plan with saro to do smth similar but i would always love more airtime with your boy too!!

i'd like to maybe do a more action-y thread as well somewhere? Let Our Boys Get Into Trouble, awh yis
hatejakku: (eager)

[personal profile] hatejakku 2023-04-12 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
YOU ARE NOT, ITS OKAY ♥♥♥

And ooooooh yas, that sounds fun. Tbh, I'm kind of expecting some sort of showdown in part 2 of this event, but that remains to be seen.

Other than that, Finn already has some info that Zandr likely escaped from prison on a ship that's believed to be owned by mercenaries or bounty hunters, so they could always get in trouble by poking their noses around the black market or smth.

Hello... it is totally mb for dropping the ball on our last thread but may I apply for throwing Kazuma and Itachi together at some point in the mission... they both seem to be, uh, very action-oriented people so I'm sure there's some shenanigans they can get up to. My own tentative plans are to get Kazuma involved in the court system and seeing if there's any snooping he can do from that end, so perhaps that can turn into some Spy Nonsense?? Perhaps even in combo with impersonation if you still need a taker for that 👀

[personal profile] blackfire 2023-04-11 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
a million years later:

i actually did pivot a bit with my plans for him once the log dropped and i'm yeeting him onto the resort world! he'll still be available for things on Naephus tho! just with some transit times.

what sort of Law StuffTM are you getting Kazuma into?
karumic: (pic#16368554)

[personal profile] karumic 2023-04-14 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
It's ok I am also a million years late 😩

I ended up mostly applying the Law Stuff to his search request, but I am actually having Kazuma pop over to resort planet at some point anyway so we could easily have him and Itachi run into each other on Nuhiri also. Honestly I am delighted that these guys seem to keep running into each other in purely slice of life situations. How does Itachi feel about hot springs
