Hello Savrites!
This month, so far, has been all about relaxation and fun, winding down after some strenuous events. After a few weeks on the floating tourist resort known as the Collectives, the Moira has returned to its journey towards the planet that is home to the creators of the Ingress. As life is wont to do, mistakes that were made in the past and often forgotten, come back around to haunt us.
In November, the Moira docked on Caducus Primary for a routine supply gathering trip; they received this transmission prior to docking. This planet appeared average from afar but upon further inspection revealed to be comprised of the most crystalline glass. Tall buildings swayed in the breeze and intricate glass sculptures lined each street, making this planet stand out. The glass, however, seemed to hold the ability to show each person a flash or vision of their past or future self. Midway through gathering supplies, the Moirans were greeted with a very unhappy message from a representative accusing the crew and its captains of theft. They then asked the Moira to leave and never return.
The captains knew that gathering supplies was more important than any ire over false accusations and stayed to continue loading cargo. Not long after, Caducus Primary decided that their patience had been tested enough and that the crew had overstayed their welcome. They forcibly attempted to remove the crew from their planet. One crew member was triggered, and the green beast shattered the glass. The Caducus Primary's on-planet Ingress was damaged, splintering the planet, and many lives were lost. The crew of the Moira assisted in evacuation and rescue efforts, detaining the altered crew member, but inevitably, they could do nothing but stand idle and watch as the planet crumbled.
The reverberations of Caducus Primary's destruction could be felt ship-wide. The crew was devastated - as were the captains - for their actions and inaction cost millions of people their lives.
Now, months later, the older crew have begun to put it behind them and some of the newer crew members might not have heard of these events. Unfortunately for all Moirans, the survivors of Caducus Primary, whom were shuttled to Caducus Secondary, decided that some sort of justice had to be obtained for their loss. Unbeknownst to the crew, a ship has been tailing the Moira since not long after those events, waiting for the most opportune moment to attack. As is the Caducan people’s way, they wait until the Moira is far from anywhere that an incursion could cause damage to innocent people and will announce their intentions.
At the end of the month they will attempt to board the Moira and make equal what was upturned months ago.
The crew and captains must work together to make sure that nobody gets hurt and that the ship isn’t damaged. The crew have been split randomly into three groups, Negotiation, Offense, and Defense. Each group must come up with a plan that centers around those three categories, and on June 29th, whichever plan is deemed most appropriate will be enacted on. ICly, the captains will choose which plan that will result in the least loss of life, and the results of the group effort and teamwork will be shown in the beginning of the month log.
Now is the time to plot and plan and work together to find the best possible solution. The three groups have been RNG’d and listed below and crew aren’t allowed to switch to other teams. We’ve also made three comments for characters to assign a team leader, which needs to be chosen before the event log goes up on the 20th. Each group can plot together to decide on a person, or players can respond to the comment and we’ll RNG a team leader. This person will be responsible for giving us a short sum up of the group’s plan after the event is over. Good luck!
Important Dates:
June 20th - Event Log June 29th - Team Leader Submits Plan July 1st - Beginning of the Month Log
EDIT:
Hey again everyone! It seems I made this post a little confusing, so let me try to help with that a little.
On the 20th, a log will go up that basically says the survivors of C-Primary are here and they are going to attack at the beginning of next month. The type of people they are means that they don't sneak attack and they are giving the Moira time to prepare, which is pretty generous considering everything. From now until the 20th, players are plotting for what they will want to thread (everyone can thread their characters discussing stuff or make network posts or whatever they want).
And what everyone is plotting for is to create a strategy that is specific to the team they were assigned. For example, everyone on the negotiation team is creating a strategy for what to do if that team's plan is chosen. A plan is something like, this character will go alone to negotiate, this small group will go, we will meet the survivors here to discuss this, we will stay on the Moira and send a video, or some combination of those. An example of an offensive strategy would be, let's turn all our weapons on them and just shoot or lets sneak onto their ship and kill them all or something else. A defensive strategy could be lets turn up all the shields, max out the boosters and jet the flip out of there or baton down the hatches, it's going to get bumpy. Any plan that the crew thinks would work.
On the 29th, the team leaders gather up what the plan is (and players can decide everything OOCly or thread some or whatever they like) and us mods will throw up a small post that shows what each team's strategy is. Players will have a short time to vote and whichever plan was voted ICly to be the best plan and the most likely that most crew would survive, is what will happen on the beginning of the month log.
This is largely a strategy and team work event. Players come together to decide what their characters would suggest to do and work up a plan that is most likely to save as many people as possible. They can be elaborate plans or short plans, it really depends on what each team does. For those that are on teams they don't agree with, that's to promote good discussion between crew members and so that a team can have at least one voice saying, no that won't work, so that a better plan can be formed.
I hope this clarifies a few things. Sorry for the confusion!

HERE IS THE BEST PLAN EVER except not really, aka: Bruce Banner is an idiot
With his guilt over what happened at Caducus Primary revived, Bruce is going to try and surrender himself without telling anyone. Now, he knows there could be serious complications here, namely if the Caduceans try to hurt or kill him, and so he will attempt to message them through an encrypted channel to let them know he wants to turn himself in and wants to negotiate the terms of his surrender. Basically he'll explain to them what could happen if they try to harm him in any way, but that they can just lock him up wherever they see fit. Or something equally horrible.
Now, Bruce is good with technology but he's no match for the Tony+JARVIS duo, so JARVIS is going to pick up on his channel and will relay his broadcast to Tony. Tony will then go to the rest of the team (and whoever else) to tell them about Bruce's stupid-ass plan and they're going to stop him from going through with it by locking him up in his cage in the cargo hold. Possibly by darting him with tranquilizer since that's worked before.
The cage is in the cargo hold, though, so that's a potentially vulnerable area of the ship. This will probably mean there'll have to be people guarding the cage to make sure the Caduceans can't get to him, as well as ensure no one on the ship who thinks he should turn himself in tries to break him out.
Also I'm sure some people will be all for handing Bruce over, especially when he tried to do that himself, so have fun with all the discord that will spread thanks to this and good luck going up against all the other Avengers & friends who apparently are building a human wall around Bruce or something. He's just going to chill inside the cage until this whole thing's resolved, or until someone needs his help with whatever plan they decide to go with in the end.

Adrien is a good tranquilizer-dealing friend to have, so Tony can obtain those and pass them along if anybody else wants to do those honors of capping the good doctor here. Tony will probably be busy with other shit.

Her priorities are ones of self-preservation, though, so while she agrees with the act of turning Bruce in... she also thinks he's a dumbass for actually doing it himself. She might approach him about this after the fact.
no subject
>Bruce Banner
>LAUGHS ALONE WITH SALAD
But yes, I am cool with this! I might do an open log for bruce while he's in the cage, or wait for the start of the month to see where things go, and see about posting something then. We can definitely work something into it!
no subject
So, he won't be taking part to the negotiations at all? Because J would be checking him nice it becomes clear that the enemy is from c-primary (either face to face or by leaving a message via mid)
Also signing J up for Bruce-sitting team once he's in the cage
no subject
And yes good. So many people in a prime position to call him a dumbass. 8)
no subject
Would you be up for these two talking once he's locked up? Perhaps Tron could be set as one of the guards/protectors for him, since he was able to help fight before?
no subject
And that sounds great! I'll likely make an open log for whoever wants to chat Bruce up while he's in his cage, I'd love to see Tron drop by :>
no subject
Awesome, I look forward to it. I'd also love to help with Team Round-Up Bruce and/or Guard the Cage if y'all are up for it!
no subject
I'm cool with anything, yeah! I particularly want to know who would be guarding the cage just so I know who Bruce would see hanging around there while he's locked up in there. I welcome anyone who wants to jump in on this mess :>

Re: HERE IS THE BEST PLAN EVER except not really, aka: Bruce Banner is an idiot
She'd be happy to help guard his cage from others and also himself. She'll even pretend she's not angry at him for trying to be a hero.
no subject
LOOK it's better than fucking off to who knows where and let everyone else deal with the crap he was (partially) to blame for! Right?
