⇨ 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. |

Stumpy-- who has just been totally bewildered by Lambert's change of disguise-- picks up that there's no immediate threat present here anymore, and zips over to the dragonair. She can't do much to help, other than to chitter and wiggle her antennae sympathetically against Noodle's side.

The door will be locked when Lambert finds it, but Lion already knows what to do. As soon as Steven is done kissing the Pokemon, Lion leaps over and knocks Lambert out of the way, roaring a very short range portal through the door. It's unduly exhausting for how brief of a jump it is. Then, Lion headbutts Lambert into it.
"Lion, whoa!" Steven gasps as they get warped to the other side.
It's a lab room with a bunch of things in vials and glass tubes, being examined by various scanners and beams. Somewhere in the middle is Steven's gem, propped up on a metal stand, as if it's in a jewelry store. The base of the gem has a layer of metal around it, much like the hole in Steven's belly.

Well, they’re in here now. Lambert looks around. The gem looks unguarded enough, he supposes, which makes sense because they really didn’t expect anyone to come back here.
He looks the gem over, inspecting it for damage, then glances at Steven.
“I’m going to pick it up,” he warns. “If you feel anything weird, tell me to stop.” He reaches out, gingerly, to pluck it off the stand.
no subject
He'll shamble through the portal shortly after them, looking around the room. Lambert has the gem covered, but he's watching it too.
no subject
Both Pokemon follow the boy through the portal, on stand by to help if anything else should go wrong.

"I should have waited," Steven says, looking up to Lambert as he successfully claims the gem. Then, he looks down. "I was just... scared that something would go wrong, and that... if I didn't get it right away, I'd miss my chance, and it'd be too late..."
"I didn't want to drag anyone away from stuff that was more important."
no subject
“Here, this is yours. Try not to lose it again.”

He taps the point against his belly, then defaults to holding it tightly in his arms. He can't risk anything else happening to it.
"I didn't even know it was shaped like this on the bottom." He tilts his head a little. "Kinda... pointier than I was expecting?"
All the other Rose Quartz gems he'd seen had been flat, like Amethyst's.
a thousand years late bc i lose notifs forever
"Looks like a diamond to me. Or at least it's cut like one. Maybe you can compare it to your blood sometime and see if it's the same stuff."
Wait, that sounds bad. He's quick to add, "Not that you should go bleeding over the place or anything, though."
