BRASS DEVIL: plotting post 2
● ● ● SEPTEMBER PLOTTING POST: MISSION LOG 2
The time has come to plot for how the heist to get the orb from the Lionetta Main HQ is going to go down! Before you get into planning, here is a quick recap of what has been found out so far:
• The three families were formed from the mining families 200 years ago.
• A magical stone was found in the Alonetti mine, and the mine owner's daughter (who Ti'shaaz calls Ruvia Alonetti), disappeared with it after her parents died. It has also been noted that Alonetti is an anagram for Lionetta.
• Olexa seems to be making a lot of the decisions on her own, without consulting anyone.
• The Lionetta Main HQ sits on the Miniera Ruvida, and it has a door that leads from the mine to the HQ; a key has been found that may or may not be the key to that door.
• Cheri had the gala marked as an anniversary, and is rumoured to be seeing someone.
• The fountain near the HQ is another entrance to the Miniera Ruvida, and there seems to be a secret way out of the Main HQ that at least Olexa uses.
• To get into the Lionetta Main HQ, you need an access badge, and there are security cameras inside the main entranceway. The team also now has access to blueprints of the Main HQ.

· THE HEIST
The second log contains prepping for the heist as well as the heist itself.
Please respond HERE with an idea for how the team could get inside the Main HQ and gather a group who will be doing that. So you could have different groups for those in the mines, those who try to get in through the main entrance, those who try the outside elevator, those who might be providing tech support, those who might be causing a distraction — and so on. Then simply comment to whichever group your character would most likely participate in.
We ask that you do this by Wednesday, September 29, 6PM GMT. This way, the mods have time to include your ideas in the actual log.
The log will contain a variety of prompts to match your plans and allow for multiple ways to enter the Main HQ, as well as prompts for actually infiltrating the Main HQ and the obstacles that come with it. Some of them you already have an idea of, if you look at the search request responses carefully! But be prepared to sneak, to avoid traps (magical and mechanical) and maybe do some fighting as well.
Finally, the second log will offer a chance for two characters to get to the orb. These two will make it to where the orb is kept and will have a chance to actually be the ones to steal it. Note that this will be an NPC thread. If you would like to sign up for this, please comment HERE.
As with the first mission, the conclusion of the mission and the return to the station will come later, halfway in October. As before, that will not be a separate log, so for the latter half of the month when characters are on the station, players are encouraged to make their own logs.

Please use this post to plot for what you want to do in the second log.
You may use this form to post your plotting comments:
questions + leftover search requests
(Note that there will not be a search request thread for the second log, so make good use of them now!)

-Is it possible to hack the cameras?
-Is it possible to also hack the badge reader/make a copy of the badge?
no subject
As for the badges, again, you would need to access the security system or be close to the reader to do it. The badges don't seem like they can be copied, but as long as someone has a badge, they can get through the front door.

Also! I'm thinking of having Kaidan going down to the mines, so how effective will his omni-tool be in detecting and/or disabling any tech-related traps down there?
no subject
Kaidan's omni-tool would work well in the mines, especially if the team decides to use the entrances not directly on the path from the HQ to the fountain to near Cherry on Top. (Not because it wouldn't work there too, but because that path is in use.)

Sorry for the barrage of questions, and thank you so much in advance for your input <3

would it be possible to mobilize ti'shaaz against the lionetta family? for example, could an'ayla be convinced to provide some means of magical protection to a group that mentioned wanting to infiltrate the main HQ (particularly through the mines), maybe under the guise of infiltrating lionetta to get intel/secrets for ti'shaaz? OR would this only result in an'ayla launching an attack against the lionetta on her own?
alina would be focused on getting an'ayla's aid in magic to help them infiltrate, and would stress it as the ideal option to give them the upper-hand of new knowledge without alerting lionetta to the fact that they have it, but ... i know sometimes gang leaders are gonna gang.
if that veers too much toward a search request, pls disregard!! i just wanted to check what was possible before doing any solid plotting. c:

She will provide Alina & co with five invisibility amulets that allow their wearers to remain invisible for up to thirty minutes; true invisibility is a difficult magic to master, the kind that will allow you to move unseen and undetected by any technology or magic. She will also mobilise Ti'shaaz mages to disturb the magical protection barrier around the HQ that will allow for example those with teleportation powers to teleport in.
The only thing she asks for in return is to accompany Alina and Rhys herself; come infiltration time, she will enter the HQ with them in her shapeshifted form as a small lizard. She will go her own way immediately upon getting in...
(So indeed, sometimes gang leaders are gonna gang. But at least it's just her?)

And by random, I mean silly.So, about those alien dogs...the idea is to use treats to stop them from mauling people to death, possibly even make the dogs fall asleep with some drugged food, to make sure no person or animal is harmed.
BUT HERE IS THE THING...Lan Xichen and his brother have a bag of holding. And long story short...can we steal a dog or two?
no subject
no subject
Iiiiiiii don't suppose are there other dogs to steal? Yelena would enjoy one and Peter is not beyond grabbing a pet for his 'fiancee' before they go back to the station.
(I'd totally understand if the answer is also 'no, stop being weird' <3)

Is the hallucinogen something that's just in circulation around the city/fairly commonplace? Just to figure out OOCly whether it's something worth having PCs focus on, or if it should just be a thing going on in the background.
So, this kind of leans on what's been said in the other plotting posts. But how likely would it be that Bianca/Brom/Featherstones in general would be in support of what the Xim crew have planned? I know it was mentioned back in the first plotting post that a war's on the horizon. So if it was brought to Bianca/Brom's attention, would they be able to
usesupport the Featherstones to start an actual conflict? Mostly this'd just be a way to get weapons/defensive items for the Xim crew. But using the cover of them needing to arm up for a fight against Lionetta. (If I should be putting this on the new plotting post, please let me know. It just mostly led on from the weapons talk.)
