Timeline, Mission Info, and Plotting Post

As of this post, the party log for the 15th is now up, and we've now added the Missions Log as well.

Things will be going generally well for any party-goers until about 10PM, so if you’d like your character to show up and have a lovely time, just make sure they leave before then. But come 10PM, the Misery will make its giant, rolling, crying, power-nullifying appearance, and that will kick off the last wave of the kidnappings. (Note: to those who are being mind-controlled to do their kidnapping — they’ll have to get their victims out of mile radius range of the Misery before their powers will work, if they’re going to be using any!)

Those being mind-controlled and their kidnap-victims will be clearing out to the UE within the hour, but they’re not being secretive about it anymore. If anyone manages to follow them, they will be attacked by the Border Patrol that are picking up their last round of victims — but they can be followed in stealth. Any rescue attempts, such as Ed Elric’s still-open rescue attempt, before the official, coordinated attack will fail, but characters are certainly welcome to make the attempt. Either way, it’s highly recommended that someone keep an eye on where the UE-and-victims group heads, so they can report the location back to the Transports and Initiative.

By the 17th, the Initiative will have gathered enough information to begin the missions in time, to weaken the Holding Compound’s defenses and minimize their resources. Sign-ups for these are now closed, but those who signed up already can find their assignments in the comments below, and do any plotting with their teammates in their respective threads. Questions about the missions are also welcome there. There will be a log for the missions up by no later than the 16th.

The rescue mission and distraction team will be shipping out on the 19th, and anyone who signed up to look for information about the UE will be alerted before then as to their results. The log for this will also be up no later than the 18th.

And finally, remember that any characters going into the Holding Compound during the rescue must be nullified, or else risk tripping the alarms! This will be ICly announced to all the Transports participating in the rescue and distraction teams, along with the fact that Jesse Pinkman can nullify powers. Anyone who would like to enter the UE Compound without triggering alarms should see him, either before or during the mission. During the trip into the UE, Jesse will be located outside the Compound, just outside the nullification range. It should be noted that Pana is on Hiatus at this time, and this will be handwaved or backdated. Please contact Pana if you would like to backdate something with Jesse.

All Transports will be safely back in Exsilium on the evening of the 19th, and shortly after (depending on when our info-planter pipes up), news of the impending nuclear strike will spread. The Initiative will ask all Transports not to spread word of it to the native Exiles, and the move to the moon base will begin on the 21st.

This post can be used as a general plotting post, if kidnapees would like to find specific rescuers for the log on the 19th, or if rescuers want to team up, or if distraction team people want to plan specific carnage! Have at it!

SIX TEAM BEST TEAM

Bucky is good at three things: 1) stealth 2) fighting 3) posing shirtless

But yeah, he's going to be pretty businesslike and low-key about the mission. He will probably try to see what else he can find from the central computer and… well, he likes chaos. Let's plot :')
devotedtothecore: (these are serious matters.)

[personal profile] devotedtothecore 2013-09-15 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Hooray for superhuman construction team members!! can he use Blade Mode to cut up all that lumber into the right shapes too

...I just imagine Raiden making suggestions based on old samurai and ninja flicks. (Which are totally a legit source of reference.)
devotedtothecore: (could tell you what's next.)

[personal profile] devotedtothecore 2013-09-15 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Gotcha!

Also, is all the extra construction to be off-blueprint? Meaning that whatever they do doesn't show up on the UE's blueprints?

Is it possible for Transports to stay behind, or is everyone going to the Moon deus ex initiative? Sue would have no interest in fleeing and leaving a bunch of innocent people to die...and she can block a nuclear strike (the first pass, anyway.)

whoops i missed this when i asked my question b/c reading comprehension is hard

[personal profile] implying 2013-09-15 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Correct!
highfrequency: (and with great intensity!)

[personal profile] highfrequency 2013-09-15 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Heck yeah he can precision cut lumber for people. In seconds, even.

it's your fault for not psychically realizing i would ask this exact question and putting it in the main post

[personal profile] ensorceler 2013-09-15 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
that would be incredibly bad, for sure. of course it's bad no matter what i guess. i'll check out the moon smuggling!
devotedtothecore: (under examination.)

[personal profile] devotedtothecore 2013-09-15 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Looks like this is gonna take definitely less than two months. Barring disaster. Or less than wise shenanigans.

Also! Do you guys have any thoughts about making a log post for Team 7/handwaving/offscreening and all? I'm fine with any route, though I'm always up for making more CR with Chrys so ( '-') ('-' )
highfrequency: (striking at Emptiness)

[personal profile] highfrequency 2013-09-15 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm okay with any route, too, honestly! Depends on what other people in the group are comfortable doing.
devotedtothecore: (secretly he is a WOMAN.)

[personal profile] devotedtothecore 2013-09-15 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
For the record, meeting Raiden is probably going to be kind of mind-blowing for Chrys, given he's a mechnical engineer from a steampunk-esque era and Raiden's a walking talking almost-all machine cyborg what is this how is this even how does it work, I must know person(???). Hope he doesn't mind a number of awkward trying-not-to-stare moments...
auntyquated: (pleased; i feel emotional landscapes)

[personal profile] auntyquated 2013-09-15 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! He'd still need Jesse to null those extras, but he'd then be at canon level, since he's all tech and not based on something-that-is-not-technology.
bravelyrunsaway: (really; we were born to die)

RESCUE LICYN

[personal profile] bravelyrunsaway 2013-09-15 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Who wants to rescue this jerk who... no one cares about BUT HE MAY...

Okay so it's a werewolf who is not in the best of moods but is good at bashing heads and running like hell, who wants a flawed exit plan bowling people over? This is your Princess Peach!
crocodilesmiles: (☇ happy inquisitive smile)

RESCUE COLLETTE

[personal profile] crocodilesmiles 2013-09-15 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Another Princess Peach sitting in the Holding Compound, Collette has no wheelchair access and is very much getting others to help move her around as it is. Who wants to throw her in Oz's wagon and run help get her back out of the Holding Compound?

I don't know how to make these offers sound attractive, pretend they do!!!

Regarding the Party log! Is it just the Misery and controlled people are there UE spec ops there too after 10? I ask because I think the UE soldiers were mentioned in the first plot post but they aren't in the log so I don't know if they've been removed from the event at all.

(personally, I'd like to see the soldiers there, since it gives people more things to respond to or fight off rather than just player characters and the Misery. Then again, I enjoy chaos)
crocodilesmiles: (☈ morph: bird (eagle))

[personal profile] crocodilesmiles 2013-09-15 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
UE Soldiers are indeed there! Precisely to have more for people to deal with than just... well. A crying rolling wheel and a handful of people kidnapping others.
taggingwomprats: (Suited up.)

RESCUE LUKE SKYWALKER

[personal profile] taggingwomprats 2013-09-15 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
In a stunning reversal of roles, Luke needs rescuing. He's a Jedi Knight, yadda yadda, and will be more then willing to help out once he's busted out of his prison thing.
