[Jaunt - week 5, pre-showdown] Hello Earth?

[seestheworld]

Okay, I only just came over last week and I'm still catching up on things so this may have been covered already, but... does anybody know anything about that communications station just outside the city? And would anyone be up for breaking into said communications station? Because it looks like Erebus has that thing under tight control, which means people Earthside probably don't know what's going on up here.

I thought I was picking something up! That's where the place is? Ain't surprised it's under lockdown... heh. I'm in.

Tch, while we're kinda on the subject - we must be doin' something right. Been listening in on Erebus' crap and half of what they're doing is running around yelling. If our guys can keep the pressure up... I dunno. It's promising.

[seestheworld]

Maybe we can make it 75% or so with this.

[truerevelation]

I like the sound'a that.

[seestheworld]

Thought you might.

[Maybe they can push that percentage even higher.]

We'll need to pick a good time for this, too - preferably while they're stretched the thinnest.

[crouching_sin]

I haven't heard of it, but I'm all for it. I can handle equipment if need be. Or possibly combat, though someone else would be better suited for that, probably.

[seestheworld]

We're a fairly combat-heavy group, so chances are someone else will be able to handle that aspect. I know I can, although I'm not sure anyone wants me using magic in a situation like this so hopefully it wouldn't come to that.

...Although if there's anyone who's been inside the thing and knows Sensory Livestreaming, I could probably just portal us there directly, if they can show me what it looks like.

[crouching_sin]

Heh, same. Most of what I could do spell-wise is explosions, and that's a bad thing in an enclosed space unless you want a ton of property damage.

I could probably pick locks or hack an electronic one, if it came to that.

[seestheworld]

I can do a bunch of things, but my summoning method tends to freak people out, and I'm not sure we want to be that memorable.

Picking or hacking the locks would be great.

[okanetendo]

Wouldn’t it be a shame if the incriminating contents of all of those hard drives liberated from Erebus went earthside?

Wouldn’t it just?

Can’t help you break in, but I’ve got plenty you might wanna send Earthside.

[seestheworld]

It would be a total shame. Very tragic.

Alas, sacrifices must be made.

Anything you have on them would be very much appreciated.

[highsteaks]

I'm up for helping with combat! My magic isn't the best for not destroying stuff either, but that doesn't really matter because I've been training my body for years and I know Jeet Kune Do.

And I've been wanting to kick Erebus in the tender places ever since I got here.

[seestheworld]

They could use a good kicking, yeah.

[highsteaks]

Everything's a lot more bouncy here. I bet I could kick them pretty high.

[seestheworld]

You probably could.

[The mental picture is both funny and kind of terrifying.]

[reallymean]

Making certain this can't just be covered up has always been the best way to protect these people.

You can count on my support. I have some experience with overtaking and holding important facilities - and with interplanetary communication, in case your current techs need backup.

[seestheworld]

That all sounds really helpful.

I can seal off part of the building once we have access, but the getting access is the potentially tricky part - well, the first potentially tricky part.

[reallymean]

It often is.

If we can get the building's blueprints or security schematics ahead of time, that usually makes the mission easier.

[tookashirototheknee]

Interplanetary communications is what I do.

Want to broadcast to Earth a live feed of what Erebus is doing? You got it.

Send video to a bunch of people? Can do.

Basically... this is pretty much exactly what I do.

[seestheworld]

Well, it sounds like we've got a bunch of information that needs sending at the very least.

[triggerhappytraitor]

Garren and I can provide distraction, subtle or otherwise.

[seestheworld]

Distractions are good! The fewer of them we have to get through, the better.

[Which is stating the obvious and she knows it and he presumably knows it too, but.]

[triggerhappytraitor]

Yeah.

Depending on how the rest of the group feels, Garren and I can assume our husky forms and run through the complex being underfoot, or I can use the same trick that I did before with Sento and assume the CEO's appearance.

[[The second is... far more risky. The Thief card was not one he had much experience with, and his acting skills were... lacking, in most situations. He'd likely have to get Sento's help with that again.]]

[fruitknife]

[...Well, this is one hell of a birthday present.]

Let me know if you need backup.

[seestheworld]

[Happy birthday?]

Will do!

[There's a pause.]

So... cheese, huh?

[She does not like the implications of cheese as a sign of wealth.]

[fruitknife]

Yeah. Cheese.

[Shinji is positively thrilled. There are things you just Don't Do, and one of those is 'hold food hostage from people who need it.']
