EVENT #05: FIREWORKS FOR NEW YEAR PREPARATION

With winter’s chill already setting in, Corsair laboratories are hard at work pumping out explosives for the operation to come. After extensive training, the crews of the Corsair airship brigade bring the infiltrators quietly to the Isles Above, all cabin lights doused to move stealthily to the drop point. There, Corsair specialists will disembark and plant explosives, as well as, perhaps, make contact with local workers and evacuate them if time permits. With all crews operating with quiet efficiency, the time is almost nigh to strike at the heart of the Empire itself.

Any mission marked Critical must have at least one log in progress by the end of the month to be counted as complete. Missing Critical missions will have major negative impacts on the Execution mission in the following month. Supplemental missions can be completed or not, completing them will go toward achieving optimal results during the Execution mission next month. As with Critical missions, Supplemental missions must have at least one log in progress by the end of the month to be counted as complete.

SUPPLIER MISSIONS

Create Explosives: Characters will need to create explosives and munitions for deployment.
Priority: Critical
Challenges: In order to get explosives that will make enough of a dent in the Imperial forces, Corsairs will need to develop them from the live rounds dropped above the vault. Logs can involve recovering salvage as well as construction of explosives.

Develop Precision Explosives: Characters will need to develop precision explosives to avoid undue damage to the civilians of Bluvink during the attack.
Priority: Supplemental
Challenges: This will require some research and development from suppliers to find explosives that will detonate at very specific levels in order to not cause the volatile materials within the Bluvink factory to ignite and cause wide-scale damage to the town.

Develop Communications Hijack: Characters will need to develop a tool that can hijack communications within the Empire.
Priority: Supplemental
Challenges: This will require recovering some Imperial communication technology from salvage or from the Vault and finding a way to dominate Imperial airwaves so they can’t shut down the Corsair propaganda.

INFILTRATOR MISSIONS

Set Explosives in Bluvink: Characters will need to sneak into the Bluvink factory and set explosives, preparing for them to explode during the New Year attack.
Priority: Critical
Challenges: The factory has regular guard rotations that can be figured out with proper observation, they will need to be avoided. The facility will also need to be properly cased so that the explosives can be set in places they will not be detected.

Set Explosives in the Vindess Mines: Characters will need to sneak into the Vindess Mines and set explosives, preparing for them to explode during the New Year attack.
Priority: Critical
Challenges: The mines have regular guard rotations and are constantly manned by serfs and servants. All will need to be avoided in order to set the explosives, and those manning the mines must be avoided at all costs.

NEGOTIATOR MISSIONS

Miner Negotiation: Characters will need to convince the miners to evacuate and to join with the Corsairs, as well as not tip off the Imperials.
Priority: Supplemental
Challenges: Many miners are distrustful of the Corsairs due to Imperial Propoganda, and several are Imperial loyalists even under the current circumstances. Several miners may need to be subdued in order to safely evacuate the area without their captors being alerted.

VILLAINS

Villain plots will be planned this month and will happen in the following month. Potential villains may post here to start workshopping potential plots that they may take part in next month.

Final Group Planning

[vivalamods]

[purplexing]

Donnie's good for either assisting as a Supplier or Infiltrator.

For Supplier he'd be better suited for either explosives development or working on how to hijack communications. Leaning more towards the latter.

For Infiltrator he'd throw in on Bluvink because he's not going near any more mines if he can help it, at least for a while.

[newmemorywhodis]

For the Supplier side of things...well, Donnie has been growing bomb flowers! So if that's something Donnie might want to incorporate, possibly they could thread something out there.

[purplexing]

True! Maybe some testing because Donnie doesn't know how precise their explosions will be.

[newmemorywhodis]

Well, Link knows absolutely nothing about the engineering side of things...but if Donnie needs a test subject helper, Link's happy to volunteer! XD

[purplexing]

lol plz don't volunteer as a test subject ever, Link

Thankfully this Donnie isn't nearly as manic as OU XD

[newmemorywhodis]

Why not, he tests new cooking recipes on himself all the time!

And drinks new experimental elixirs Zelda makes

[purplexing]

Link, you need a safer hobby... XD

[newmemorywhodis]

...Does skydiving count? XD

[purplexing]

...Donnie kind of enjoys that kind of adrenaline rush so he'd probably say yes.

[newmemorywhodis]

Link would be most useful for the Infiltrator missions! He can make some Sneaky elixirs/food to help with stealthing in, and there's probably a way to misuse Fuse in order to place explosives.

No preference for either Bluvik or the Mines, Link could do either.

[upupatomway]

In the Supplier category, Atom could help with any of the three prompts. Fetching explosives might be slightly less dangerous for him of all people. Prepping the explosives or the communication hijack device are fair game with his basic mechanic/physics knowledge. I'll choose based on where others end up going to help cover more prompts.

Infiltrator-wise, Atom is probably most useful at Bluvink so he can scan the place and make careful calculations to keep the future explosion in check despite the volatile chemicals present.

Also an option: Backing up the mine explosion team by crunching numbers quickly for them based on information such as video, measurements, and maps they send him via the network. If you'd like, you're welcome to handwave this communication happening by dropping a brief mention of it in your thread. I'm also open to threading it if anyone wishes.

[freearcadia]

Harlock would work the best as an infiltrator, he's happy to go to either the factory or mines, leaning towards the factory

Thomas would be more of a negotiator - BS an official reason to go and try to convince the miners to run... or forged orders to transfer as many as he can.

[redprayer]

Rezo's definitely going to be working primarily as a Supplier, working on explosives and development of precision explosives. I think I might also have him work as a Negotiator and try to convince the miners to join up with the Corsairs.

Re: Final Group Planning

[straykitty]

Renne is good for the communications hijacking, it's definitely her forte, and can also help either setting bombs or being around to execute any turncoat miners if needed.

Re: Final Group Planning

[theriflespiral]

Natalia can help Develop Precision Explosives (calculating the energy needed), Develop Explosives, or act as an Infiltrator. Given she has a personal glider and a long-range weapon, if she's to assist an Infiltration it's probably at Bluvink.

Re: Final Group Planning

[harlequinchimera]

Oki would be good for Supplier or Infiltrator.

For Supplier, hijacking communications tech is something she has quite a bit of experience with, from both the technology end and the surveillance/snooping end.

For Infiltrator, she could help with both cover and gathering intelligence, as well as actually doing the planting of the seeds.

Re: Final Group Planning

[tisfinished]

Senshi will be Setting Explosives in the Mines and also Negotiating with the Miners. It's personal for him... not to mention he used to be one of the miners and knows something of what they've been through.

Re: Final Group Planning

[spacetogrow]

Ilphyl is willing to help with either or both. They don't have personal experience with mining beyond their time pre-rescue, but they grew up in a slave-holding culture, so have some grasp of the logic that pits commoners versus the enslaved to keep the system working.

Mining is also dirty enough work that disguising their coloration means they can do more public facing roles.

Re: Final Group Planning

[tisfinished]

Senshi would appreciate the help in either role, but help with negotiation would be preferred as it’s harder to come by.

Re: Final Group Planning

[lightnovelexperiences]

Infiltrator Deedee hears Bluvink is nice this time of year, and perhaps such a hardworking town deserves a branch of her spa and bathhouse?

This can go horribly wrong horribly fast.

Re: Final Group Planning

[chosenkingoflucis]

Noctis will do best with Infiltrator missions. He has plenty of experience with infiltrating enemy bases and stealthing through them.

He can set explosives as well. Probably more in Bluvink than the Mines.

Sorry everyone for disappearing. I was in the hospital for a couple weeks, then had complications after release. Hoping to ease back into things.
