⇨ 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. |

At one point, the water in the distance seems to be moving- and she almost wants to go in that direction, to see what's happening, how to help.
"Papyrus-!" She doesn't however, and her eyes move from the distraction of the store front fountain in time to see Sans' collapse.
"Sans-!" she adds a millisecond after calling the name of the taller one, floating down with an awkward flap to try and keep from flying too close or crashing.
She may fail. But she's trying.There is a pause...and she swallows, looking over the two.
"...She..." ... "...She's gone..?"
no subject
Papyrus looks up at Carly's question with wide, uncertain eyesockets. "I... I don't know, I just put him to sleep. So, she might still..."
He glances around, to the distant explosions and water rising and so forth. "9S is missing, I don't know who else can tell... Rita? Is there anybody else?"
no subject
"I think I saw her over at the store, but..." She's not really sure what was going on over there?
In a few moments, probably a really intense light show actually.The woman swallows, crouching down some to stare at Sans. "...I hope she's gone... ...Actually gone, and not just...taking someone else, at least."
no subject
He looks towards Papyrus as he successfully knocks out Sans and Tyki rushes over out of slight concern, keeping his distance so that Papyrus can take care of his brother. Even his hand beckons Zangetsu over so he doesn't have to stand over there by himself.
"Unless she's lurking somewhere nearby she likely has left him. You saw it wasn't the visor that kept her within. He was likely unconscious before she let him go." Unless she was still watching them like a creep through the poor skeleton. Yet that is not what worries him the most as he scans Papyrus slowly for any updated information.
no subject
He follows Tyki over, peeking around him to look at Sans and Papyrus.
"Hmm..." he says with a frown, turning his sixth sense on Sans, probing for the Mother of Invention's cold and overwhelming presence. "Whatever just happened, she ain't using him any more. She left -- but she's still over there somewhere," he says, pointing towards the store. "Maybe she jumped bodies? Hard ta say." Maybe she had been in two bodies at once? He couldn't really tell -- the souls of those damn true fae were infuriatingly hard to interpret.
"But... uh.. what was that she said? There at the end? A 'payment'?"
no subject
There's no obvious signs of the Mother's presence, either physically or spiritually. Tyki won't feel anything rising up in him either.
no subject
"I don't know! Maybe she really liked the conversation. Or one of the experiments she did on me?" But who wants to dwell on that question. "A-anyway, if he's himself, maybe we should try waking him up...? I don't know what's happening with the plan, now, but... I'm sure Sans wouldn't thank me for making him sleep through it."
Big unquestioned meta questions, dodged with skeletal grace.
no subject
No experience there. She pauses, turning back toward the fountain area. "...We should at least get back to the others, anyway, so..."
no subject
He lets the thought trail off. Still... the Mother's influence is gone from Sans AND gone from over by the store.
"I can't feel her anywhere, now."
no subject
"That's good," he says out loud, more for himself, as his hand reaches up towards the side of his head and he scratches again. "We should move him somewhere safer until he wakes up unless we plan on trying that now. It depends on how Papyrus' spell works."
no subject
"I only really put people to sleep as... a Harbinger? And, uh, later tried making people happy. The happy part wore off on its own, I don't know if sleeping people... woke up."
He gives his brother a tentative shake, but looks worried all the while. Anyone who ventured around Wismuth after Harbinger Papyrus had done his thing may have run into his victims, and people even under the intense dust could be woken - with shaking and emotional pleas. This half-powered, creation dust variety, should take a lot less than that.
no subject
"Nnkay..." he says, like he's trying to get whoever is trying to wake him up to leave him alone for five more minutes.
no subject
His body moves down to squat next to him, a hand resting on his cheek as his elbow plops against his bent thighs. Even his tail sways behind him at fond memories of napping next to the usual sleeping skeleton, half tempted to just lie down with him on the cold floor, "He looks content."
no subject
"...Yeah, I think this worked out okay. But I wonder... Did she leave to go pay attention to something else?"
Papyrus looks around the area they're in for signs that anything new and terribly wrong is about to happen, or signs of continued yelling and clashing and exploding in the distance. After everything that's gone on, he's lost track of what the plan at this point is.

The ensuing blast of spiritual energy is enough to send Zangetsu reeling, as if struck by a tangible force. He scrambles to sit back up, claws scraping on the floor.
"What the fuck was that?!"
no subject
Carly sucks in a breath, panic immediately rising in her chest. Choking, she replies to Zangetsu, immediately turning various shades of anxious blue-green. "Whatever that was, we can't just sit here..! Let's go!"
