Following Rey's communication with Kurt Fischer's family, the UNA looks into her social media to figure out who it is that's trying to get in touch with them. She didn't get flagged before, but she gets pinned for that and black bagged on Nov 24 when they track her down to Kylo Ren's apartment, where she's been kicking around since he vanished on the 19th.
However, Rey had mentioned to Daisy, who she was investigating the research outposts with, that she was stopping by Fischer's family, and Damian can find her videos all over social media. Together they can put together that Rey was grabbed by the UNA for casting aspersions on the government and poking her nose where it didn't belong.
Rey had also mentioned to Daisy a plan to use Cassius' arrival log train to get out to the research outpost they'd learned about. Daisy can put this together when Kylo returns (Nov 27) and demands they find his missing girlfriend, facilitating a group of people going out to retrieve her. Poe, realizing that his roommate and buddy is NOT just normal disappeared but is UNA captive, is like fuck that I can yeet the train past the checkpoint. So they use Prompto's train job to figure out where an out-of-service train cart is that they can take out there.
With Damian and Daisy's help looking into her ID history for who her close friends are, Kylo puts together a group of her long-term friends because they're trustworthy (Damian, Poe, Sora, Riku, Prompto, Illya) and some names that he adds all his own to the list of people who are coming to storm the facility with him (Daenerys, Octavia).
Daisy, being the person she is, can leak the location as also being the outpost the Morningstar agents that have been captive are, and ensure that characters outside the Save Rey op also make it there with their focus being on rescuing the MS agents who weren't able to be grabbed because the UNA found Kurt Fischer too quickly for anyone to act on his information. At this point, Daisy will do whatever interaction is necessary with El to get their hands on scrambler masks as an option for arrival/fighting in the outpost.
They leave on Nov 28, let's say (that way new characters can participate fully). Once at the facility, the plan for the Rey Team looks like this: Daenerys, Sora, and Prompto can try to cause a distraction around the facility to take some of the heat off those trying to free Rey and others. Between the three of them, they should be able to withstand whatever repercussions that come with while Damian, Octavia, Kylo, and Illya on the stealth team see about finding where Rey is kept and violently liberating the prisoners. They prioritize breaking her out, and then also help break out the rest of the agents.
All PCs and rescued agents are smuggled back to a vehicle (some kind of MANY-PASSENGER van for UNA missions) that Poe has wrangled. He drives them to the outskirts of New Prague, where they use El to get in touch with New Prague Morningstar. They're smuggled inside and rest there overnight to let some of the heat die down. The rescued agents remain in New Prague, and Morningstar helps move the PCs out on a train back into New Amsterdam.
The whole mission will take about 48 hours.
Some questions that came up during the planning process to help facilitate logging:
1. How well-staffed in this outpost? Proportionally, how thick with UNA soldiers vs scientists?
2. What kind of interrogation are they doing of Rey while she's there and what kind of shape will she be in when they find her?
3. What kind of shape will the missing agents be in?
4. Where will Morningstar house them in New Prague overnight? How much freedom of movement will they have around the city between when they arrive and when they leave on the train the next day?
5. If I'm gonna put up an open log for threading stuff related to this with locations for the train car, the research outpost, the car ride to New Prague, the New Prague overnight, and the train. Are there any setting details I should make sure to capture in the top level for this log? (Or since this will be open to basically anyone bc of the agents thing, will y'all be putting up a log?)
6. Should I do an OOC post explaining all of it and contextualizing the openness of the log and the fact that Daisy spreading things around is common knowledge so ppl can make plans prior to any possible network to that effect going up?
7. The obvious: what will the state of Rey's ID be when she gets back to New Amsterdam? (Probably same question for anyone who doesn't use a scrambler mask while smashing up the outpost.)
8. AND MORE OBVIOUSLY, LET ME KNOW IF WE NEED TO ADJUST ANYTHING HERE. (Note I reordered some dates from when I shared a draft of this for plotting purposes because I realized only the facility thing makes a difference for new ppl and the Poe bit works better if Rey's been gone a few days instead of just one.)
