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!

Rescue the Friendship Pact Crusader
Without his powers, Asbel can still swing a sword (or whatever is available) and aim kicks. With powers regained, he can add
elethelemental power to the mix, fancy up the footwork, and reach a generally accepted level of JRPG hero coolness. Oh, and he can heal himself a little by putting his sword away (yeah logic whoo).Pros are he's willing to work in a group and won't friendship speech you to death right now, cons is he's not leaving without a.) assurance that his daughter is getting the heck out of there, and b.) his

Although I do want to mention that they don't have to pick up Sophie specifically so much as just make sure she's WITH SOME RESCUER(S) OR OTHER and heading out of there (since I'm not sure what Joly plans/wants to do, and would like to leave that open for her to decide). As for the ring, I suspect it's shoved in a box or something somewhere with the confiscated weapons (if I read right??) so it should just require finding the appropriate one and doing some digging (like looking for a prize at the bottom of a box of cereal).
And Asbel would be fine with picking up the more combative side of things if it comes to that (and he definitely doesn't know all the secret ins and outs of the place so yes, gunner + quick retreat navigator sounds wonderful.)

No problem! Sounds a little more reasonable to Chrys, at least, though he'd understand if Albel wanted to personally make sure he saw her, or something to that effect. (Family's big to him.) And digging around for the confiscated weapons stash might mean being able to find some other things of interest about the UE compound...
