Closed | Malicant Event | Teams 07 - 09

[alderwood]

Characters: Team 07 (Temeraire, William Laurence, Combeferre, Enjolras, Javert), Team 08 (Bucky Barnes MCU, Frank Zhang, Tarrlok, Jack Frost, Zelgadis Graywords), Team 09 (Steve Rogers MCU, Sabriel, Terrance Ward, Sharon Carter, Commander Shepard)
Date: June 25th - July 13th
Location: Keeliai (various locations)
Situation: Evandau put out the call for help against the great and powerful Oz. Malicant. Ozicant. There are the next three teams to be assembled
Warnings/Rating: Death, claustrophobic situations, decomposition of bodies. Please include content warnings in subject headers.

The police force has a series of leads they need the Foreigners to follow-up on that may (or may not) relate to the entity known as Malicant. Teams 07, 08, and 09 are mobilised next. See the threads in this post for details and contact Alex (reignsdown or the mod account) if you have any questions.

Note: A variety of the options indicate that players can create kedan to fill plot needs in terms of questioning and what have you. These kedan are plot-specific and would not count in the rule-of-tens for NPCs (unless they were referred to after the event; but that is future and this is now).

SET 01

[alderwood]

Dossiers:
Each member of the team is provided a file with English transcriptions of the warrants obtained for the raid; these warrants provide for temporary legal authority to be transferred to the five named Foreigners and place them as contact and leads for the action of searching the Wood Sector warehouse for weapons, arresting any kedan on site or suspected of being associated with it, and the follow-up of any evidence found in the warehouse that may implicate the Fire Sector gang. There is a summary of prior investigations of the warehouse and gang, noting that the former came into the latter's real estate holdings in the last three months and that a spike of activity going in and out has been observed by the police. Officially, the warehouse holds heavy chests manufactured by local craftskedan for the purpose of transport and storage. Cursory investigations by rations administration were consistent with the reported information and found no trace of excess resources. Police reports show a spike of weapons possession in the area and the recent appearance of some shock weapons that may seem reminiscent to cattle prods for any Earth-sourced Foreigners. There is also a list of the ten officers that will be assigned to the team, with names and ranks provided. Players can create identities for any kedan involved and the nature of the gang itself.


Options:
A
Launch a daylight search of the premises with the officers provided by Evandau. Calls to open the side access door of the warehouse would be greeted by a young kedan with soft features and dressed in brand new workers coveralls; he would fetch an older kedan with a more worn set of coveralls with a chest patch that has his name embroidered in kedanese (Nylowen). He would demand to see the warrants and then read them over before granting access to the warehouse; meanwhile, the first kedan would return to the heart of it and work could be heard resuming there. Once Nylowen was satisfied, the team and their support kedan would be allowed access to the premises as per the warrants. Initial searches show a cache of crates and chests that matches the description of in the files. More detailed searches may uncover compartments within the chests that carry knives, batons, and a few dismantled guns picked up from a previous landfall (there is no ammunition to match). The warehouse itself is clean and roughly twenty kedan are at work; they will be rounded into a corner by the officers and held there while the space is searched. Offices set above the workfloor are sparse and contain routine paperwork expected of a reseller and storage business. Moving the chests and crates about the main floor would uncover three separate hatches built into the floor -- opening these hatches would uncover three caches of juulan, amounting in the tens-of-thousands. Upon finding this, Nylowen would try to break free of police custody and run, the remaining kedan attempting to run interference to see him free.

Exact results for further exploration of the warehouse and the outcome of the kedan escape attempt would be provided in the next clue set if this option is taken.

B
Launch a nighttime search of the premises with the officers provided by Evandau. Two kedan stationed outside the access door would scrutinise the warrants closely before summoning Tey-po to the door. Tey-po would introduce herself as the owner of the warehouse and would permit the search party to enter, asking that they be accompanied by her at all times - a term that the officers would advise the Foreigners to accept. Initial searches show a cache of crates and chests that matches the description of in the files. More detailed searches may uncover compartments within the chests that carry knives, batons, and a few dismantled guns picked up from a previous landfall (there is no ammunition to match). The warehouse itself is shows recent scrapes of motion on the floors and roughly thirty kedan are at work; they will be rounded into a corner by the officers and held there while the space is searched. Offices set above the workfloor are sparse and contain routine paperwork expected of a reseller and storage business. Moving the chests and crates about the main floor would uncover three separate hatches built into the floor -- opening these hatches would uncover empty spaces, save for a few string bands associated with the packaging of juulan transfer bags. At this point, Tey-po would inquire whether they were done. However, should a character examine the back wall of the warehouse, they would realise it is set forward six feet from where it should be. Careful analysis of the wall will show fine lines in the wall that can be pushed hard to reveal a storage space that runs the length of the wall. Before any could enter, Tey-po would take one of the Foreigners hostage and hold what appears to be a gun with two sparking prods at the muzzle, demanding sweetly that they close those doors and forget what may be inside.

Exact results for the hostage situation and the contents of the storage space would be provided in the next clue set if this option is taken. Please also advise of which Foreigner would be taken hostage and whether said player has issue with the character being injured (or worse, if they are open to it) as a result.

Deadline:
To permit creation of the next clue set, please reply with the option selected by the team by June 30th at end of day. If no response is made at that time, a mod will RNG the option. A header has been provided in the IC section for your team for any threading relevant to this clue set. Questions and (some) additional details can be requested by replying to this comment with QUESTION - SET 01 in the subject line. Please be specific with questions, as generic "what happened to X" queries are too broad to answer fairly.

Team 08 goes with option B!

CLARIFICATION

[alderwood]

Which character will be taken hostage? Does the player of that character have any guidelines regarding whether they would like their character hurt in the process?

Re: CLARIFICATION

[trainwrecked]

... I'm volunteering Bucky for hostage (yes, that was mentioned in the plurk and was not added to), and, yes, getting hurt in the process is fine. If more - let me know if it's desirable, so I can check in with close CR and I'll get back to you?

[alderwood]

Option B with Bucky being the hostage is confirmed!

I will contact you if the situations RNG to something more serious than just hurt. <3

Thank you! :)
