PLOT ENGAGEMENT (ARCHIVED)

[larkers]

> PLOT ENGAGEMENT (ARCHIVED)

What is Plot Engagement and how does it work within Meadowlark? This is the page where players can come discuss with us how to facilitate plots within the setting. However, there will be occasions where a plot doesn't work within Meadowlark's world, and we'll suggest alternative routes. For small worldbuilding or gameplay details, please direct your question to the FAQ. If you're ever not sure if you're at the right page, don't worry—we'll help you get it sorted out. We know we have a load of info!

WHEN WILL YOU HEAR BACK?

◉ All Plot Engagement answers go out on Sunday, except during events.
◉ The deadline to submit a question and ensure you'll hear back from us on Sunday is 11:59 PM UTC on Saturday.

PLOT ENGAGEMENT INCLUDES

◉ Player plots! If you'd like your character to become a mafia boss, this is your place to start. Typically, this involves anything that could impact the setting or other player characters.
◉ Character career advancement that gives the character additional power or status within the setting.
◉ Metaplot exploration and information! We plan all events to give characters something to explore after the event ends. This is the place to do it!

SUBMISSION TIPS

◉ Specify what your character is looking for when they're investigating. What questions are they asking and what angle are they trying to explore?
◉ If you have a specific goal in mind but don't know how to reach it, please let us know.
◉ If you link a thread to us, please summarize it! That helps us process the plot in question.
◉ Don't worry about not knowing the setting like the back of your hand before you submit the plot—that's up to us! We're here to help you with any adjustments to get you on the right track.

NOTES & THINGS THAT YOU CAN HANDWAVE

◉ Characters always start out in entry level positions. Characters can update their skill sets to the 2512 standard through paid apprenticeships or internships.

◈ If a character is advancing within a major corporation (as noted on the Setting or Locations page) or one of its subsidiaries, we will need to approve this advancement.
◈ If a character becomes a supervisor at a local bar or other small business, we do not need to approve this advancement.

◉ Joining the police force within a city requires three months of IC training (six months OOC).
◉ We'll approve whether someone has social media fame, but we will not be providing social media follower counts. Once you have a plot for how to use those followers, that's where we step in!
◉ All Morningstar business goes on our Morningstar page. Please feel free to discuss specific plots here (including joining), and go there for signups and anything else.
◉ Characters getting jobs, finding apartments, participating in the fighting rings, getting married, making workplace friends, the creation of minor NPCs, etc. do not need to be run by us. Please let us know if these expand into player plots or other plot bits!

QUICK LINKS

◉ FAQ: For small worldbuilding or gameplay details.
◉ Setting: Our setting page! We'll update as needed.
◉ Jobs: A reference for who's working where!
◉ Locations: Both major and minor locations within New Amsterdam, as well as outlines for other megacities.

hi mods,

i wanted to check in how far kaldur's appearance (gills on his neck, webbing between his fingers and toes) would be noteworthy in new amsterdam. could these be passed off as body mods and would people assume that they are, meaning he wouldn't raise many eyebrows if he hid them less or hid them unsuccessfully?

thank you!

[batricide]

Hey mods!

If Damian were to try sending a message back with one of Maeda's thugs after trouncing them in the fighting rings - a followup on what he shouted after they sent them running the first time, something along the lines of an offer to train her men up to be worth fighting, or to hire him if she wants a winner on her side - would there be any chance of a reply?

[selfimage]

Hey mods! This relates to Jen's shrine questions:

Loki and Markus are going to start making associations between the sacred geometry that's shown on the shrines (the triangles), as well as the tree of life (on the wine), and the seed of life (from the Insomniac's Ball) with the flower of life. These elements will be reflected in Markus' new shrine work. The shrine will also reflect the wine bottle they received with the associated tree of life looped into the bigger flower of life. To ensure that Markus isn't caught for his graffiti, Loki will help him as a look-out. Totally art wingmanning!!!!

Would there be any movement around these new shrines? They'll ask El to keep an eye out for any movement close to them, as well. We do have a progression in mind here, so Markus and Loki will be tenacious, with or without a response.

[kgbs]

hey, what's up mods! i've never done this before so forgive me if this is a little rough, please and thank.

established here (thanks, fitz), illya's been doing a lot of fighting in the rings in the hopes of catching the eye of the petrovs (because russians stick together and all). since this post, he's been there almost every night, doing his best to catch their eye.

it's been a few months now and i'm here to ask would he have managed to catch their eye and if so, would he have to do any sort of thing to wiggle himself into their ranks at the lower levels to start with? as in some sort of hazing ritual or something to get himself initiated?

thank you!

[isherarmor]

Once she feels Jon is more settled, Sansa is going to put some serious effort into documenting her embroidery and self made clothing on her cool talk account, starting with the dirndl dresses inspired by Oktoberfest, as well as one or two adjustable halter styled tops for the warmer weather - she'll branch out in the coming month, and will be using models (and probably engaging someone to take better photographs than she is able to) show off said fashions in hopes to gain more business. (She will also be directing people to the place where she works for any shoe repair or droid-based clothing needs.) She is 100% on board taking commissions and excited to try new things as well as work within people's expectations!

As far as blades go, what she's looking for are two things:
1. A small set of thin, decorative blades that she can wear in ...well, what used to be her hair. (She's nostalgic, used to them, and she'll find somewhere else to hide them if she can.)
2. A slim blade along the lines of a rapier. She's interested in what's available and what's able to be made custom. She certainly CANNOT afford either thing (especially custom work), but she'll act as if she can, as if she needs time to think about it.

Another slightly related question:

With regards to hairstyling in New Amsterdam, are hair extensions a thing? Also, are wigs something people still wear, and are they different in any super future-y way?

[reneger]

hey, mods!

jason has been part of the warlocks since late january--roughly a few weeks in game.

what information could be pick up regarding the leaders of the gang? are there even leaders, or are they set up more like the modern day bloods (an older member runs each set in an area, there isn't one particular Leader, etc) would there be information regarding what they're into, their families, notable other members? how difficult would it be to get in close to the head of their area? is there a particular hierarchy they play, or is it more run by whoever asserts themselves to be the baddest of them all kind of play?

additionally--the new drug that hit the streets of new amsterdam, the performance enhancer. is that traceable back to the warlocks?

[laozu]

coming here from here finally, what's up mods!! thanks for the content!

( i'm not watching sansa's question about hair no not me )

he's definitely going to pursue the life and times of an up-and-coming idol, one he's free to roam the streets and has an identity in that. if he uses the youtube-esque services ( i think i can bully kira/prompto into shooting vid for him.... ) to announce himself on the scene ft. contact information ie. his cooltalk and all that. he doesn't think very far about things, whoops, but understands enough to know that this could help the fellow displaced out. we're all about helping! to that end, i've got a few questions:

is there a pre-existing agency ( morningstar-affiliated or not! ) for someone looking into the idol business? were there any talent-spotters or reps at the oktoberfest that couldn't sign him or contact him since, ahem, he didn't technically exist just yet... i'll probably have more questions once i kick start things. THANKS SO MUCH

Hello, mods! Me again. 👀

As per this log with Gaby, Peggy will now be using her position in City Hall to subtly orchestrate/facilitate travel to New Tokyo for the PCs in the wake of the latest kaiju attack.

The general plan, as outlined with Gaby, would be to suggest the idea of New Amsterdam sending out a disaster response team to New Tokyo as a show of commiseration and good faith, as a city that survived a similar attack not too long ago. (If relevant, she would also lean into it being a good PR move, too, rather than closing up borders and letting every man fend for himself.) This would be said to a supervisor (or several) who trusts and appreciates her input and they, in turn, would pass it up the chain. Whether or not people hear that the idea came from Peggy is up to you (if only to further solidify her good standing in local gov't) but for her part, she will also suggest City Hall do a relief goods drive for the victims of New Tokyo and she'd offer to spearhead that project. (She would have done this almost immediately after the news broke.) The idea is that PCs can volunteer there, as well as through Morningstar's other contact organisations as mentioned by Gaby, to be shortlisted as people willing to be part of the team heading to New Tokyo. Gotta have that clean backstory, etc.

Peggy will also look into ensuring the PCs who volunteer have the proper documents and strong applications in order to gain travel clearance, since her work as a city clerk touches on passport agent duties. She will reach out to coordinate with El to be absolutely certain their IDs and backstories will all hold up under what is sure to be close, strict scrutiny. The overall goal is not for her to go on the team — she will only if absolutely necessary but prefers to mind the wheel at home — but to ensure 1) the PCs have a way in, 2) the PCs have a way out aka a guarantee NA gov't will bring them home, and 3) that none of this points to Morningstar and that it's all as legal as possible. She will be extremely discreet and careful and while this doesn't have to happen immediately, since disaster relief does span months realistically, it will be something she's meticulous about pulling off.

Please let me know if you need any clarification and if this works! Thank you!

Hello moddies! I've got a few questions!

1. Peggy and Fitz have asked Ignis some questions about the governor that he might (or might not) know!

1a. What is she "like"- in this context, would she have expressed anything in the quasi-privacy of meetings that he'd be scribing in or just in basic interactions that the system has been unbalanced after the raid on the UNA.
1b. Her schedule, any rallies or fundraising affairs? They want to know who donates and funds her campaigns, where the money is coming from and who may have a vested interest in keeping her in power.

SEPARATELY, Fitz and Ignis have been discussing ways to force contact from whatever "Other Party" brought them here, since it seems like they just dump off the displaced and scrub all record of them having done so. Going off the assumption that secrecy is the Most Important to them, they're brainstorming ways to try and lure them out and force contact- perhaps getting people asking questions.

I'd like to eventually make an OOC post and get PCs involved in deciding who would go forth and with what information. (aka, who gonna take the heat). The IC thread in question is here but it's also RIDICULOUSLY TL;DR- the last thread of conversation is the most relevant.

Any suggestions for this would be welcome, since I'd like to be able to have ducks in a row when it comes to throwing this up! No rush, though, since as always there's a lot going on in New Amsterdam!

[selfimage]

Hi mods! Me again!!! Quick question! If Loki were to, say, write an erotic novel series ...

1. Is it difficult to get published and shared through online stores? And after publishing, possibly gain some notoriety for it?
2. Can Loki go under a pen name, or is this not an option anymore?

Thanks!

Hi mods!

As briefly discussed in a thread with Gaby, Fitz has been working on dismantling and reworking the Morningstar anonymising masks since roughly 16 September 2511 at Sniper's behest. He had two to work with, one from Sniper and one from Jason, so there’s been a bit of wiggle room on trial and error.

The aim here to build a new mask that serves the same purpose to anonymise and block surveillance, but with tweaks to the code so it doesn’t read Morningstar as plainly. In service of this, Fitz enlisted Catherine for assistance around 6 October and is reaching out to to the other engineers like Prompto for further tweaking (with en masse geek recruitment on the horizon for taking the redesign to further stages... like maybe! disguises!). The present endgame of the re-design is that in lieu of the shifting gel that hurts the eyes, the front of the mask showcases a clear design, even something as simple as a painfully bright sheen of blue.

Basically, what I’m asking: Would he be able to pick up more stock from Gaby? What level of re-design can be accomplished at this stage? Also, can Fitz adapt the scrambling tech to be integrated with other items, like jewellery, or is the coverage of the implant at the head essential?

[rehandle]

Hey mods, just a quick one.

Is there any information you could give us about the stadium the shut down sports bar safehouse option is under? What kind of sport is it the home to and how many months of the year does the sport season last? Does the stadium run anything else, such as music/other live events? Are there periods of the year where the stadium stands unused for large stretches of time?

Thank you!

[deicider]

Hello!

1. Sniper has been working at their brothel going on four months now, and they've also been doing some self-marketing. namely:

1. Working with Loki to make people think they're the proprietor of the Insomniac's Ball
2. Cosplaying at NAEXPO. I meant to have them enter the compotetion, but I never got around to submitting a plot engagement for it, so I don't know if this counts.
3. Doing a dramatic public fencing match with Alucard where they declared they were a sex worker and mentioned where they worked. This was at the Beer festival, and was preceded by Sniper winning several matches consecutively.

They've also been active on the VR fencing scene, doing all the necessary social media, and have kept up their volunteering at the kids and STEM charity.

At this juncture, they want to start looking for private clients. They'll aim for athletes, since they tend to come from well-to-do families and have a lot of money. Particularly, they will be looking for athletes with political connections. If it matters, I've been playing it that their current place of employment specializes in roleplay.

How successful would they be in gaining clients at this stage? Will they need to do some in-person marketing? If so, are there known places where athletes tend to congregate, or would they be likely to visit a brothel on their own?

2. Are there any particular consequences for the fencing match? The thread is here.
It's incomplete, but basically Alucard and Sniper are playing up hinting at an old rivalry to get some interest going.

Hey mods! It's Laura and Ellie here to talk Rebuilding (New) Morningstar!

Off the back of our initial plotting and in line with their open network post for recruitment (and the IC feedback received there), Peggy and Fitz intend to take the first steps to rebuilding a Morningstar branch in New Amsterdam. Although they began their efforts with support in mind, the PCs asking them for guidance on their efforts to help MS and execute independent missions (and being won over by the concept of an organisation with familiar faces at the front) means they’ll elevate their efforts to lead actively. They’ll discuss this with Gaby and El, workshopping the extent of their remit and how to work with Morningstar’s remaining local agents and NPCs in need of assistance — with both Peggy and Fitz willing to do whatever needs to be done, however it needs to be done.

With Peggy’s training with the SOE and work with resistance groups in Nazi-occupied Europe during WWII, she intends to structure New Morningstar and its fledgeling information network similarly. She will also train less experienced recruits in the art of fieldwork, self-defense/combat, and espionage should they require or request it. (She has already begun to do this with some PCs.) Similarly, Fitz’s work with SHIELD for the last decade has led him to become a nudgy nudger before now, helping others identify the occupations in New Amsterdam that suit their skillset and serve the needs of the displaced community, which he’ll continue to do, with the new aim to establish a network that serves Morningstar’s (and, y’know, the planet’s) present needs. He’s also been coaching various PCs in scientific and technological endeavours alongside the old school espionage work, so he’ll continue to open that to recruits.

Their proposed plan for rebuilding MS operations is as follows, with three key strands: Relief, Information, and Resistance.

— In RELIEF, any character can assist with the ongoing efforts to help recover from New Amsterdam’s various unnatural and natural disasters.
— Within this strand, Sansa Stark and Nill presented the idea for donations and clothing repairs, updating their network post with this information. Going forward, Peggy and Fitz intend to maintain this, with a specific focus on preparing for the upcoming shifts in weather to the rainy season and working on more permanent infrastructure to help anyone “displaced,” not just by the multiverse but by the ongoing political and economical struggles in New Amsterdam.
— In INFORMATION, both willing contacts and active agents can contribute to Morningstar’s need to understand he ever-shifting environment and work to acquire intelligence to the benefit of the organisation as a whole (with information-gathering a never-ending operation, when they hope to anticipate corporate and government moves before they occur; as well as the active effort to identify and dismantle corruption across sectors).

- INFORMATION will include passive intel-gathering and targeted operations to solve mysteries and get deets on corporate and government targets, gang. To this end, they have compiled a network of active agents (who have explicitly said they wish to help Morningstar as needed and believe in its ideals, which is roughly 10 PCs at present) and contacts (those who haven’t fully signed on to work for Morningstar but are interested in aiding specific projects or acting as informants; roughly 12 PCs at present) and made a note of their strengths and skills. OOCly, we hope to make a post for official sign-ups to ensure that everyone’s characters are where they wish for PC Morningstar ventures going forward, if that works for you mods.
- Peggy plans to liaise with the New Tokyo branch of Morningstar while in the city for relief work. Specifically to coordinate efforts, gather intel, and maintain outside communications, if possible. Most importantly, it’s to ensure Morningstar knows New Amsterdam has not gone dark. (This will adjust to the dream event aftermath if necessary.)
- QUESTIONS: We know that local agents are wary of collaborating with the displaced from our last plot engagement comment. Will Peggy and Fitz be able to work with the local MS agents that survived the raids? Can you elaborate on the professional relationship there? Peggy and Fitz are happy to work from nothing and begin forming connections with individuals to liaise with them in future. They’re not asking for anything from the locals/pre-existing agents besides how best to help them, if they can.

— In RESISTANCE, once they have a pool of recruits and (hopefully) firmer links to Morningstar as a whole, Peggy and Fitz are keen to do their spy thing and support the rebellion with field missions. This is further off, but something they’d express interest in now! OOCly, we also love spy shenanigans, so this is the Dream Goal.

Finally, RE: MORNINGSTAR SAFEHOUSE. In response to, “Gaby will say that while the displaced set up their own safehouse, another new one will be needed for other people. Any of the three locations not used will likely need to be set up for NPCs who need assistance in the future.”

— Will the unused third location need to be prepped for NPC use, as indicated above? We’re happy to workshop how to do this IC and OOC.
— We know the safehouse plot is still underway and that it’s looking like two locations of the three will be used by PCs going forward, so we were wondering if we could propose an alternative space. We’ve been thinking about fun spaces to play around with in game and base spy operations at, and have a new location idea we’d love to run past you mods, if you’re open to it! Whether the new location already exists for NPC Morningstar agents or is one Peggy uses her government position to locate would be flexible ICly, as this could be in place of or in addition to the space leftover by the PC plot.
— Whatever the case, this location would serve as Morningstar HQ and be strictly relegated to related business as a matter of safety and mission confidentiality. This is in line with Morningstar’s previously established procedure of segmenting information to protect the whole organisation from becoming compromised.

As a note, Peggy and Fitz would have brought this to Gaby and El before Peggy left for New Tokyo with the relief group (and therefore prior to the dreamscape event). We're flexible and open on everything, as per, so hit us with what ya got, mods!

[forcevisions]

Rey and Sora are out here trying to galaxy brain the bridge dream in backdated land; would Rey be able to find on Meadowlark Google any weird blue glowing bridges that exist on Earth as it is today, or in its history?

[stabilis]

hi mods!! Please help us sound like smart hackers re: this.

Namely,

a) Do Daisy and Johnny have any chance of accessing UN public records? For their soldiers, or for anyone in the general public.
b) If yes, is it the kind of access that they could either find evidence of algorithms that are checking citizens for suspicious patterns of behavior (related to Morningstar), OR
c) Failing that, could they get enough access to personal records to try to predict things the UN might flag? Not sure if they'd do this bc it's basically setting up their own digital witch hunt, but could be an attempt at predictive defense.

And to pitch some specifics, this could either be just direct hacking (more likely to see if the UN has set up flags), or cobbling together data through more mundane personal data logging (insurance companies that track health, social apps that track purchases/travel, personal networks, etc), or looking for any extra suspicious behavior on those sorts of app (like what is and isn't being funneled into UN databases). OR, if they can determine some sources of data collection that might be easier to access, trying to piggyback on those less secure apps and plant a backdoor of some kind further up the line (tl;dr if they can't hack the UN directly can they hack facebook, who is clearly shilling out info 2 the government).

For reference, Johnny is ofc a big plot device genius nerd and has been absorbing what he can as a techie at Vyonation for about 2 months, using the access he's got to snoop on higher level programs/jobs without pushing his luck too much, and studying up on any hacker circles he can (probably not the really good ones, if they're visible). Daisy is also a ~*~master hacker~*~ and has been at Vyonation for about 2.5 months, practicing back end access on small businesses and working her way up to higher security targets (she tried hitting a tax collector's office a month+ ago, which was a close call, but has been working on leveling up since).

Thank you!

[girlcorrupted]

Hi mods!

I'm hoping to get Angel some work in the fields she's best at, and was thinking she could do something along the lines of IT work at Vyonation, infobroker for Morningstar and affiliates by night. With her history and parentage she knows the corporate world well, and could easily be a woman on the inside for the rebels.

[theseuschip]

hello mods!!

what I want is..... a museum (so Simon can work in it, but also maybe homesick time travelers can hang out there).

What kind of history would the people of New Amsterdam be into (history of technology, maybe?? anthropology??) and what would be kept there? What eras of human history have been well preserved after the shakeups that have culminated in 26th century Earth being what it is.... like would there be 21st century stuff in a museum? Like would there be paper books and Nokias held reverently in glass displays?

[replicates]

Hi mods! Just some quick questions (first time here, please bear with me!):

1) Since the replica (I'm just going to refer to him as Repliku for ease from now on) has sort of got the idea that his status as a replica/clone of Riku isn't something that's commonplace, and also because Riku has been here longer and he doesn't want more identity confusion, he's going to want to make some changes to his appearance as soon as possible. Specifically, is there anything he's limited to, i.e.: hair dye, color contacts, etc.?
2) If he wanted to start participating in the fight rings, how would he go about it icly?

[covertness]

hi mods!

clarke and bobbi have been talking about working on a vaccine to the anger flu/something to counteract the effects of monster bits. they've got bits of a monster carcass to analyse, they've got the analyses of blood samples from various displaced both affected and not, they're hoping to take samples of people while engaging in the empathy bond and not, etc.

i think they might also see about getting their hands on some of the drugs circulating that make people particularly angry.

i realise this is a broad question, but could they make some steps towards developing a counter agent/cure/vaccine or even do it? and if not, is there any direction you could point us in?

[realists]

upon returning to n.a. jyn will want to sign up officially with morningstar and she would mention to gaby/el that she has experience in forgeries, specifically identification, travel clearance docs, invitations attached to specific identities, misc documents and news articles, many many imperial documents, and also credits. these forgeries are good enough that she's never been caught.

(the one time she was caught was because she was set up by an imperial officer who extorted her and used her as a scapegoat.)

she's been trying to do the same thing here, handicapped by learning a new interface to do so, but she would want to try to create a separate id to practice all of this stuff on and i don't know if that is possible or feasible or if she could have any success on those endeavors.

[blyat]

Hello, mods!

I was curious, is there some kind of futuristic "dating app" in New Amsterdam? If so, what is it called/how would it function? Asking important plot questions here.

[secondnature]

Hey mods!

One of the "missions" that Keith is undertaking for Peggy and Fitz right off the bat is to look into the shrines and see if they've popped up all over the world. Since he obviously can't travel all over, he'll be using Cooltalk and other social media to find out what he can. He'll be trying a lot of different search terms to pull it off.

Would he find evidence of shrines in other cities? And if he can't use social media to find evidence, can he reach out to other Morningstar branches to keep an eye out for them, and send along images to look for them? And if he can't do that himself, can he have Peggy and Fitz do that for him, or maybe put him in touch as the person looking into it?

I know there are other characters chasing this plot, so I'm very happy to loop in those players if needed!

[sandu]

Hi mods!

Just exploring job options for Jiang Cheng here, wanted to let you know that he would be approaching the relevant Morningstar parties about possibly joining the recruitment/training for NAPD when they return from New Tokyo? He's had plenty of battle / military experience back home and has had to take on a leadership role from an early age to deal with crisis / leading a rebel force to overthrow tyrannical dictatorship (of sorts), so he would definitely want to be involved in something that is disciplined and structured like the justice / law enforcement system!

I've already read through your responses re: police force to Bellamy and Aranea so I think I've got the gist of the training period and all the surrounding bits relating to it, but I've just got some extra very minor questions, let me know if these need to be directed elsewhere!

#1: Being dropped in New Tokyo, would the records for the new arrivals then begin from New Tokyo, so they are going to be considered moving (for want of a better word) to New Amsterdam when the PCs go back? Or will they be retroactively added to their existing citizen records for New Amsterdam?

#2: Just nitpicky questions re: NAPD, is there an option for the trainees (and of course, properly instated police officers) to be offered some kind of dorm or otherwise general housing units that's provided within the structures of the NAPD?

#3a: What would be available as an option for Jiang Cheng if he would like to move up further within the NAPD? I know this is going to be a long term thing and certainly won't be happening anytime soon, but I just wanted to map out a career path for him as a general long term plan I can keep in mind. e.g. CID/Detective sort from a beat cop?

#3b: In terms of CID/Detective ... Would there be a fair bit of undercover police investigation happening in terms of dealing with the city's gangs/underground/general shady illegal business? How well is that network run in NAPD and how secluded and secure are those agents from having their real identity leaked? I know this involves creating false identities and stuff which is.... difficult... but I wanted to possibly look into narcotics agents and things of this undercover sort of nature so just wanted to get the question out there!

#4: Does the NAPD have any quasi-military units within (like SWAT) or are those more universally handled by UNA if there is any need for that? How readily available would they be in terms of rapid developing crisis and would the police have any access to those sort of resources in terms of emergency situations?

Sorry if these have been addressed already!

[warfares]

hi mods!

fitz and kylo have been discussing the captured morningstar agents from the january raid (september ic) and spitballing thoughts on how they could potentially track down and eventually rescue them from una custody.

my thoughts were, essentially:

#1: looping in anyone that was investigating the "leaks" that lead to the raid, hopefully making the connection between that and the captured morningstar agents from the initial drop-off. also making use of any un contacts they can muster to see if there's any word on the agents.

#2: contacting tech savy folk like daisy and johnny and looking into ways to track the implants of the captured agents. if they are unable to do this - and we assume that the una would have some means of scrambling the implants - then tracking them through the software/tech that.

#3: narrowing down likely locations, scoping those out and then formulating the best approach - kylo, himself, will lean toward something with a small group of people that can move in quickly and cleanly, retrieve the agents or their bodies and get out as quickly as possible. perhaps they'll be able to field test fitz's electro-shock devices and the new implant scrambling masks he's working on.

#4: rescue the agents; the exact plan itself might need further development but the gist was to use the electro-devices (fitz has mentioned being able to adapt them into projectiles) to disable any una soldiers at a distance, scrambling whatever software they use to predict opponents movements if not outright shutting them down, locating the agents and breaking them out, and hopefully getting out alive.

this plan is subject to change as it would be opened up to other players to offer their opinions and feedback. this is largely to check feasibility.
