more details on the ongoing plot!

[initiates]

[ An IC announcement by the Initiative has been made here! ]

An additional detail: for those who would remove their chips from their body when they receive them, or perhaps later, TAKE MIND NOT TO DAMAGE THE CHIP. If the chip is damaged in any way while it is being removed, the Masked will hone in upon you immediately (yes, they will break into your apartment) and a secondary chip will be inserted and will be sealed onto a vertebra of your spine, directly against the bone, for preventative measures against further shenanigans.

Any and all questions are welcome on this post as well! I'm headed out but I'll try to get back to you ASAP when I'm able!

Thank you!

Oh.

Medics are about to feel like crap.

well i'm glad john decided not on destroying them..

but god against the bone, these guys are serious B|;

Re: the second tracking chip thing, what about characters who are shapeshifters, like Mag here?

[initiates]

In that case, they would probably attempt to seal it to the bone in the same way -- but not necessarily in the same place on the body. So they'd go for the closest limb!

How much information about the function of the chip could someone work out without dismantling it?

[initiates]

They could decipher that it was for tracking, and that it is made of a metal that's newly synthesized -- so, a future metal that wouldn't have been present in the past and won't be easy to place if they haven't seen it before. Also, it's reasonable to assume that they could pick out that it can secure itself to bone by melting against it, if they are to find one of the secondary tracking chips. :)

Thank you very much!

Regarding the whole "melting against the bone" thing: would it even be possible to remove the second chip from the spine?

[initiates]

Yes, they would! It would be much more involved and painful, more like a surgery than a quick flick of a knife. The Masked wouldn't come back after a second time, though, so it would be gone for good but probably still leave a little remnant of metal on the bone.

Yeowch! Okay, thanks for the answer!

[morsecodes]

Since the chips can't be broken, does that apply to them being dismantled? Is there a way for them to be dismantled without altering the Masked?

Asking because Leo's got a god-born gift with machines and such. Just curious as to what he'd be able to do without setting off any alerts!

[initiates]

He could dismantle them if he's good at it, yes. If the parts are still in-tact when he dismantles it, it shouldn't alert them! It would only do so if it was crushed, or forcibly taken apart without regard for the inner workings. So if he is careful enough, it would be reasonable to say that he could take it apart piece-by-piece without it alerting the Masked. :)

[morsecodes]

Then he's totally got this! B)

Thanks! <3
