⇨ 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. |

She'll have to go tell him about this thenReira refrains from making a noise of displeasure about the swift theft of numerous chocolates. She did offer it after all, so she had it coming. Chewing on one piece herself, she pauses however-
She's pretty sure her casual and friendly orange just drooped into a more greener yellow.
She ducks her head into her shirt, checking just that- there's a short 'Hmnn-nn...' sound, muffled a bit by the chocolate she's eating. She quickly looks back up and goes back to the chocolate though.
no subject
He swallows the chocolate, struggling briefly before he clears his throat. "Is that from your trial?"
It has to be, it wasn't there before.
no subject
"It's, umnh... Like a TV, I think." Except just colours.
no subject
He asked her to tell him, but anxiety makes him want to continue to ask anyway. He's so worried for her. For all of them. "Has it been changing colors a lot?"
CW for mild body horror (detailed desc. of 'frame' internals)
Before lifting the edge of the shirt so the bottom of the 'screen' is visible. The screen itself is damning on its own- it tells easily the reason Reira can't flexibly twist or move anymore. It would be difficult, after all, with the front so rigidly flat for such a large space.
More importantly however is perhaps the area that allows for slight flex. Covered by a frame of some sort of 'resin' substance, one can see sections of a circuitboard- the wires however, curve far too much and too often, despite entering various nodes and devices in addition to the two main 'cables' that exit at either side of the frame. They also come in two colours only-red, and blue, the hues tinted slightly by the light of the screen as it comes through the frame.
There is also brass edging, around the frame itself- providing a protective cover to the main 'cables' as they go around along the outside of her.
It's quite extensive.
Reira doesn't seem to comprehend just how much so.
no subject
He doesn't know what to say. His jaw drops but no words come out. He just stares in horror.
no subject
"Umnhhhh..." She knows that feeling. "...you're upset..." Not 'upset' exactly. It's not quite scared, something else, it's...
"...sorry..." She lets the shirt down.
no subject
They hurt her, permanently probably, god knows what this would mean for her in the future. Were they equipped to handle it?

"Right. But we have to save ourselves first."

"...They'll both happen, somehow."

"Yeah. They will."
