Team Negotiation, Assemble!

[bosswald]

I've read all the threads that were posted in the original OOC plotting post as possible to try and separate them into four different plans. I tried to take elements that everyone has commented with, as well as input from the captain's comments to try and flesh out actual plan proposals.

It might be easier to decide on this by voting on the plan your character is going for in the header of your comment, and elaborating on any other input IC in the comment itself. Please make sure you list something in your header or bold something in your comment so I know which plan is being voted on.

Assume a message went out from Team Leader: Clara Oswald to all members of the team on the afternoon of June 21, calling the team to meet at a set time that evening in the gardens. She will have a handwritten display of the projected plans (listed down below) and will discuss them in depth before asking for input from others. After input is given, she will hold a vote. Based on the character input, I will edit the chosen final plan as needed in order to flesh things out. If responding to this IC isn't your thing, that's cool! Just put what your character votes for and give a reason why if you want. There doesn't even need to be a reason or any input, unless your character would have something to say.

At 10:00 pm CST June 28, I will be tallying the plan that is the most popular based on comment headers and that will be the plan that Clara proposes to the captains.

You can reach me on plurk at spectromagic, or by PM if it's needed!

Plan Give Them Bruce as Negotiation Fodder
This plan involves using a deceptive means to convince the Caducans that they are offering them Bruce to call things equal. "Bruce" would either be a decoy or illusion, depending on the involvement of those that can provide illusions. Using Bruce to get in close to the Caducans, the group that escorts him will engage in face to face negotiations in an attempt to reason and see that revenge is a path that will not end with them feeling satisfied. An attempt at peaceful negotiations will be had, but the group will prepare to fight and for the worst if necessary due to using deception.


Plan Buy Time With a Distraction
This plan involves using a distraction (Peter Quill leading a dance off, anyone?) to catch the Caducans off guard to buy enough time to attack and demonstrate that the Moira isn't to be messed with using a display of strength that results in the Caducans being pushed back well enough that the Moira can run away and safely escape. This plan runs the risk of possibly being stalked and attacked again in the future, but could mean less people being hurt or killed.


Plan Kick Ass (Hostile Negotiations)
This plan involves using a show of sheer strength to intimidate the Caducans into being eliminated or going away. This will mean boarding their ship by force and kicking ass in order to eliminate the threat using whatever means are necessary. The team will attempt to uncover and capture the leader(s) of the Caducans and will use a threat to their lives to arrange a hostile/forceful negotiation that the Moira will be left alone. Or else. This plan could come with a high body count and pure chaos, but it's very likely the Caducans that are left won't bother them again.


Plan Talk it Out
This plan is very against using Bruce at all in negotiations. They are pro keeping a close eye on him for his own safety because you do not turn yourself over, Bruce! A designated small group of negotiators will discuss negotiations both face to face in a peaceful meeting with the Caducan leaders. This plan will rely on experienced diplomats/negotiators to come up with clever words that will convince the Caducans to listen and demonstrate that reparations and preparing for their future is an option that is more logical and the best way to remember the people and planet that they lost. The team will help arrange reparations and offer a helping hand, and push the fact that working together will accomplish a lot more than adding more deaths to their conscience.

Prometheus continues to be unhelpful and might occasionally drop a quip about how Buy Time is a terrible idea because what? you want this to be a bimonthly thing? He'll actually be staying out of the conversations for the most part and will just be people watching. At the end, he'll toss a vote towards Hostile Negotiations to be contrary. why is he here again?

Fi kinda cares...! As much as she's capable of anyway. Her vote goes towards Talk it Out as the plan most likely to yield the desired results of No Deaths though she'll also back Elizabeth and Miller's addendums because it's good to have contingencies in place. She'll also be people watching unless prompted to join in the conversation because WHAT IS AUTONOMY?

... She has telepathy and a connection with the MID and is actually... a magic sword.... but will not actively volunteer for a position on the negotiation team. Such is the unfortunate consequence of being a servant sword. U_____U
