Mystery and Intrigue
Hello everyone, new players and oldies alike. I heard that some of you like plot. So we're gonna put some plot in our plot.
As the newbies have learned in Rhea's letter, and players present last month may have noticed, stuff has gone down. Specifically, stuff insinuating that parts of the people in charge of the city--the science division specifically--aren't exactly trustworthy. Given they kind of zapped everyone from their worlds without their permission, that's not terribly hard to believe. The group called the Rangar, some of whom live outside the walls, hacked into the network and left a post where they pointed out things were kind of suspicious, and where anyone could ask them questions about what they knew and what they wanted.
Several characters took them up on their offer and got info, some of which was included in the newbie letters this month! Yay. But it was also pointed out that there's a lot still being hidden, and that the Rangar can only do so much to infiltrate due to the way the scientists are kind of hidden away.
That's where I come in. Thanks to some breaking and entering, terrifying of poor ladies, stalking, and stupid decisions that somehow haven't bitten him in the ass (yet), Mr. Barnes has discovered one of the secret entrances the scientists use to get in and out of their ~underground lab~, oooh. Now, he doesn't know a whole lot of people who are interested in this, but he does know a few. And those few people also know more people. And those people know more people... and you get me.
Therefore, the information is very likely to get out, and this post is for helping you figure out how your character can discover it! Newbie and want to get involved? No problem. Maybe you can come across a group of people suspiciously muttering amongst themselves, or maybe you met someone at the welcome center who can fill you in! Contact involving sensitive information on the network is probably not the greatest idea (and Bucky discouraged it in his note to Fortuna), given that the scientists have access to the network as much as anyone, probably even more so, given the fact that the entry the Rangar posted was deleted shortly after being discovered by the city leaders.
So characters get to know stuff. Then what? Well, that's up for discussion! A pretty obvious option is to infiltrate and see what characters can find out, hopefully before they're caught. If enough characters want to get directly involved, maybe we could even have multiple sneaky-sneak attempts? Causing a ruckus with a lot of people trying to get in at the same time is probably going to get people caught, after all. But if one attempt does fail, maybe the characters could organize more searching attempts to find other entrances? (These are all just suggestions of course!)
Tl;dr: The scientists are withholding stuff. The Rangar want what secrets they're hiding, and maybe your character does too! A secret entrance to their base was discovered. There are a lot of characters with different skill sets who can work together to get inside and get those secrets. Here is where we can talk and figure out how.
And of course... we're in no rush. This is just a post for brainstorming and communicating so we can set up for whatever we'd like to do, whenever we're ready to do it. So let's do this thing.

Lightning will tell Noel, Steve and Bucky, but only Noel will know where the base is, and Mai's involvement with the Rangar-- the other two will only know that there's someone in the hospital who is a sympathizer, but she's willing to show them where the base is if they ask really nicely, and as long as they don't out its location to the wrong people, or tell others without informing her about it. If you want your character to know what Lightning knows, we can work something out!
no subject
He's already got a way of contacting the Rangar, so he wouldn't ask about the base. He would be curious about the sympathizer, just because he likes to know his allies
so he doesn't accidentally murder them, but he wouldn't push it if she didn't answer.no subject
NOW WITH RIGHT ACCOUNT gdit
no subject
unless they are trying to murder him.Now he will wonder if the owl he was told to give information to is the same one... Also his ass was kind of saved by an owl (possibly also the same one?? he has no idea) when he was trying to find the entrance so yeah, birds are friends.
no subject
Though for certain it was that they could not allow him to die.

wrong Terra account but idc
also wrong-ish account but idc
Or have you the foggiest what you're talking about?
no subject
Obviously he doesn't have useful information for Light at present, he's still got that new arrival smell (I fancy it's like Lemon Pledge), but yes. He's liable not to repeat anything, he don't know these folks.

And boy wouldn't that be an interesting experience. Noel gets on so well with strangers nowadays.
