⇨ POLARIS 3.0

Who: Everyone!
When: Day 115
Where: Polaris
What: On the morning of day 115, a couple hours before the technicians would come to pick up the test subjects, the escape plan will officially come into effect. If your character has been left out of the loop up till this point, feel free that someone hastily explains the plan during the initial phase! The meat of everything else will be played out via megathreads and any private toplevels people want to make.
Warnings: Probably violence.

PEER REVIEW

The plan starts with getting everyone out of their cells. Childermass is going to be using his Gilded Mark to enhance his shadow movement abilities, unabling him to teleport himself and other people out of containment. If your character has other ways of escaping they are free to pursue that, but on a base level, it can be assumed that everyone gets out thanks to Childermass. (Thanks Childermass!) Once everyone has been removed from their cells by some means or another, they will be forced to split into teams as swiftly as possible, as the moment people start breaking out, negative attention from the staff will start building. The area is poorly guarded at first, but as people become aware of the breakout, more will arrive.

Gild, speaking on behalf of her inside plant, will say that those that 1) want to get their stuff back, 2) want to find Ignatius, should get the assistance of their allied Deltas to access sector A5. From there, they will have to access Polaris's storage in A3, a neighbouring sector, and find access to C2, the station where Ignatius is being held. They should expect to be met with armed resistance, but with any luck allies will be there to assist them.

In general, characters will be most effective if they back one of these major objectives:

► TEAM LOOT: This team is trying to get back the items and pets that were confiscated when the group was brought into Polaris. Their objective, according to their allies on the inside, is to get to A5, and then make their way to A3. The important thing is being able to locate their stuff among a sea of other items, and to make it through security in order to reclaim it. Gild's plant has said that they will assist with this. After getting these items, Team Loot may wish to merge with Team Rescue.

► TEAM RESCUE: This team's primary focus is to get to A5 and then make their way to C2. If desired, they may wait for or join with Team Loot, or they may strike out ahead in order to take advantage of the element of surprise. The key factors are obtaining a way to access C2, as well as being prepared for armed conflict with the technicians guarding it, as well as possibly the Mother of Invention herself. Though, the ideal is that Gild will be distracting here at that time.

► TEAM DISTRACTION: This team can do their thing wherever they please, as their main intent is to sew general discord and distract the staff from the teams doing more important things. They should be prepared for armed resistance, but what tactics they pursue beyond that point are highly variable.

► TEAM FORTRESS: This team is attempting to set up a protective base of operations in the original sector in order to survive the conflict and protect their noncombatant comrades. How they accomplish this is also highly variable.

Other objectives may exist, of course, and can be made with their own separate top levels. Chunks of these megathreads will have to be played out in summary form, so when characters are simply trying to get from place to place and specifics aren't necessary, feel free to stick to that format. Assume that everyone is already out of their cells for the purpose of the megathreads.

Here is a shitty map of how the sectors connect, from a side view of the central Polaris hub.

"If we need the sword, we will need the suits off first," Gongenzaka points out. "It will be difficult to swing, when paralyzed upon the ground." Still, he leaves Joker with the blade for now. "...Should the knives fail...I, the man Gongenzaka, may well ask."

With that, he heads off- a final look of 'good luck' all he can really give. He'll check in only briefly on Yukio himself- the sniper's greatest asset at the moment is a lack of personal visibility which he himself greatly compromises. But it's good to check in, after all.

Gongenzaka approaches near the area Yukio lurks in, and starts reaching out with his soul as he conceals himself in some of the bushes and trees- Yukio didn't actually say how many were in the buildings around them- just that he would deal with it as necessary. He has no idea how much longer the other will be...and the only reason he can well say that it's going well is the fact that nothing has come through the doors on either end of the store front thus far.

Still. He wonders how long the other will be up there, watching for guards in the dull hours of the morning.

Yukio will be up there for as long as necessary, gun trained on the open spaces of the staff area. Something brushes against his awareness, and he tenses, tail flicking behind him.

He's already taken out a dozen or so of the technicians. There are warning bells and alarms going off throughout the sector. Yukio's first thought isn't that Gon's coming to check up on him, but that there's someone hostile making an attempt at getting through the barriers in his mind.

Oh for frick's sake Yukio-

There's a brush of reassurance- and then irritation poking at those barriers. It's not even your mind. It's your soul.

Remember who can do that? It's the dog guy who's trying to run all of the stuff in this area. So answer.

It's Gon, but it's also something that happens when a demon is trying to possess you in Yukio's world (never mind that he contracted with the Ringmaster in exchange for an immunity to demonic possession). It takes a second or three for Yukio to relax enough to.... realize that he doesn't know how to respond to whatever's happening.
betheman: (:0)

Well, it means Yukio is receptive to messages at least; Gongenzaka flashes the image of Joker and Rin watching the teleport doors, before following it with the image of everyone else in the store front. There is the persisting feeling that all is well.

It's followed by a more questioning sensation, and Yukio's image. How's he?
reflash: (why are 15 year olds so angry)

There's a flash of exasperation from Yukio when he gets that image of Rin, but it fades quickly. Yukio's response to Gon is less clear than the messages being sent to him, but it's his first time trying to communicate like this. A sense of predatory patience, a sniper's view of the area.
betheman: (well that's NEW)

[personal profile] betheman 2018-11-04 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
Good, good...

There is the image of a thumbs up, albeit surrounded by question marks.

He's...Okay then?

Once he has a reply, he'll convey a sense of approval and encouragement. Keep up the good work, Yukio!
reflash: (sad boy in snow)

[personal profile] reflash 2018-11-04 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
There's acknowledgement, and then just that background noise of waiting, before Yukio realizes he's still transmitting and cuts the connection off.
betheman: (just quietly enter Thought-)

[personal profile] betheman 2018-11-04 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Hahaaa. At least he got his 'goodbye' of sorts in there before then...

It's time to bring these knives to the others in the shop front in any case. They'll sort themselves out...

Sooner or later.
