telepathy to all

[splinten]

I need everyone who is down for a rescue mission to say what they can do in terms of wrecking shit and/or support skills, and any strategies they have for getting in. We do not need to be stalling on this. Peach is in the goddamned castle and Bowser has not been demonstrably a nice guy, so let's get the fucking hat on and move.

Skills, strategies, plans. Let's get them out and get going.

[ooc: threadhopping obviously allowed and encouraged here!

EDIT: some ooc plotting here!]

[knighthooded]

I'm ready to come. Need a list of shit?

As for ideas, right now storming the fucking place is the best one I have unless someone wants to tell us how their security's set up.

[splinten]

[There's a flicker of that fear that Dave brings out but he shoves it down. There's no time for being awkward and scared. These assholes have their people.]

Front door 100-level boss rush is pretty fucking appealing from my perspective, and it isn't a bad idea even if we do get a security idea. Multiple points of attack could make it easier to get in.

If you've got a list, I'm down to hear it. I don't know your power here.

[apatheia]

From what I've seen of the technology here, I'm fairly sure I could destroy any type of defense they have.

[Like. Just saying. They'd have to do a lot more to put up a fight with an android.]

[lohengrins]

It's likely that they would have been taken to a government regulated facility — we're outnumbered. It would be suicide to rush in as a collective.

I work as a police officer within the city. If the lot of us — those adept with infiltration — were to disguise ourselves as officers, and arrange for a distraction...

We'll have a chance.

[splinten]

I'd appreciate it if you can send all the data you have my way. My power works on destroying what I can understand.

[and then they can DESTROY! EVERYTHING!]

Percival is a friend, so he has to read in telepathic orange

[splinten]

So you're suggesting that some of us take the hiding-under-a-box method while the others blow things up.
I'm down.

[apatheia]

Understood.

[The data is mostly comprised of her general observations on the level of technology here and what she's seen and heard regarding what the monitors are capable of doing, but the general gist of it has led her to conclude that what they have 1) wouldn't pose much of a threat to her, and 2) is something she could destroy.

2B is but a simple girl who's good at destroying things, okay!!]

So long as there's no rapping GOD

[lohengrins]

Right.

It would require a mildly convincing act. Our decoys would serve as our heavy artillery. Our timing should be precise, and we need to construct a basic map of the area we'll be raiding beforehand.

...I wouldn't ask this of most, but you've gained a bit of my trust: who do you think would be fit for the job?

[knighthooded]

[there's a pause.]

You mean like the shit we do here we couldn't do before, right?

[precedents]

2B, 9S, and I can take out their technology and whatever defenses they have.

[ she's not even exaggerating. but she can elaborate if he wants her to. ]

[splinten]

Unless there's something else you think it'd be helpful to know.

[splinten]

I'm going to ignore the backhanded elements in that compliment and get to the point.

Geir and Vern have information from their explosion. Gaelio has illusion magic. A2, 2B, and 9S are basically the ultimate in swiss-army-technical abilities and also combat priority, I honestly don't know which team they'd prefer to be on. Jake's ability to manipulate probability would likely help out. Jay would be good at infiltration too.

We need a place to take them once we get them out. The presence of a motherfucking dragon raises some issues for us there.

[splinten]

[HE BELIEVES HER COMPLETELY]

Percival is considering a combination of decoy heavy-hitters at the front gate and some subterfuge sneaking in during the distraction. Where do you think you guys would be more helpful?

[precedents]

[ bless him. ]

2B and I were designed for combat -- we can be the decoys if need be. As a Scanner type, 9S would probably be better sneaking in with the other group. He's able to interface with the tech here... he'll probably be able to help locate and direct everyone out of there faster too.

[teratias]

I...Vern actually gave me the location of the vault they were trying to get into, if you think that might yield any useful information.

Otherwise, I can make smokescreens, so long as I have someone else with me for offense.

[sigfried]

Well, I'm good at providing a distraction, and I'd be able to give them a hard time in battle.

[ Putting it lightly, because what are words.

That said, regardless of how this goes down, he's involving himself somehow. ]

[sharpestsword]

If there's anywhere my metal manipulation would be useful I'll do whatever I can to help.

[rebells]

You know my abilities.

We need an exit plan. It's unlikely we'll be able to return to the apartments after this. Securing information on what's outside the city and what they know about the whereabouts of Qri should be a secondary goal of whatever operation we plan.

[rootbound]

We can still reach them, if poorly, so it's not like we can't get the inside view and coordinate.

Also it's the same damn building they took the Palai bone to, so the location's not exactly secret.

[dawninglight]

I'm decent at archery and I have super strength.

I don't think that we have to worry about them too much, but I do agree that we should go and get them before the situation escalates. We know where they are, so the biggest question is whether we want to be sneaky about getting them or not.

telepathy;

[argenteums]

Messing with electronics, cracking, sharp shooting? That's my game, and I'm ready to play!

[spaceforged]

You've seen me before. I can be loud and distracting on the ground, or in the air.

That building might have a lot more than just our captive teammates. It would be worth it to see if we can get what information they've got. We're not going to get another chance.

Whatever is decided, I'll support it and do what I can.

[knighthooded]

[another long pause, a slight flicker of hesitation. like he's nervous about something.]

Pretty sure I can heal things now.

[zinit]

[Whatever's in that building besides other people, Qilby wants in so he can pick it apart - but perhaps he should try and sound more concerned with the captives...!]

I've been, ah, blessed with the gift of turning invisible. As for support, I possess some level of medical skill.

[Gently:] And if I may show a bit of hubris, I'm demonstrably good at not getting caught. To that end, if I can help, let me know.

[allconsumed]

Smokescreens? That's seriously your magic?

[Even in a crisis, Velvet isn't going to stop giving him shit.]
