That said! I'd like to adopt a medic and communications person. C: I think Chris said she wanted Andrew to be Buffy's communication guy? But still need a medic if anyone wants to jump on board with these guys.

THAT SAID, GAMEPLAN PLOTTING. Given the people on her team, Buffy will probably try and split them up to attack the ship on several fronts as they make their way up to the bridge, since they're all very capable. Maybe teams of two and oen of the teams bringing the medic along with the communications person talking to both teams remotely?

I briefly considered putting Andrew over on Spike's side so she could have someone on her team making sure... Spike stays on task or something, but I AM SO FAR DOWN WITH HIM WORKING FOR EITHER. He just needs to be with Slayer people or... IDK. Shenanigans. But if it's too much of me on one team, then I'll move him over, because... Nico's pretty insistent on keeping with Buffy, she'll probably go along as a point guard? And probably stay behind and hold fire while Buffy and the infiltrators do their thing.

DOES NICO KNOW HEALING MAGIC, she could come around as the medic and andrew could hang with spike like you said :|a

SHE DOES. She can only use all the different Force healing spells once, but if she changes her wording up and heals different injuries different ways, she can probably keep that from being a problem. So between healing magic and offensive magic, she'd be good. :3

OOPS COMMENTED TO WRONG THREAD GYAH.
... no, I didn't. Also, plurk is kikibug13

RIGHT. River will be... very deadly. She's been holding herself very tightly since Amy went away, and as soon as she's allowed to shoot guns at people, she'll be a small lethal machine. (For some idea, here, starting at around 3:30 until the end of the clip.)

She might use somebody directing her. But as far as damage goes - she's fast, she's been trained since she was born, well, a couple of days later, and she's ready for a frenzy.

Ahem. That is... what can be known at this point? Also, Charles? Don't look too hard into her mind, if you value your sanity. OH LOOK, SEAN AND ALEX AND CLAIRE!

OH LAWD, being team leader, Buffy's going to strongly discourage killing the humans. Dark jedis and such are more understandable, but when it comes to normal people who are up there for security (aka the first two waves or so that they run into) she's going to have a pretty strict DO NOT KILL THEM party line.

That said, it'll likely come down to killing some of them by the end at which point she'll be like yeah it's war it's unavoidable. And have to accept that. But just know that it'll be ... heavily discouraged right when they start moving.

Oh, River won't burst out of the shuttle and start shooting. That will make the whole job they have to do kind of impossible. No, when she's unleashed.

She probably would have told Buffy about her training when she was assigned, because she was raised to kill the Doctor, and that's a lot of potential for jobs like this, so Buffy can use her as... um. Point woman, I guess?

Haha okay, as long as she's not Miss Massacre Everyone On Board Gal, Buffy will be cool with it.

Lae suggests that she and Xavier be one of the two-person unit teams since Xavier can't contact her telepathically, so it's best he's with her, and it'll make sense too since if Buffy knows about her training, she'll know that River can watch Xavier's back physically while he's doing his mental thing.

Does that work for you?

Absolutely works for me! She will deliver back one telepath, in good condition. And whatever else they needed to do.

Oh, right.

She'll like the droids stage of the thing a lot. And, as a team, she and Charles can be very efficient against the Sith, methinks?

I figure they can reconvene--after doing some damage along the way--in the captain's quarters to take out the sith on the bridge, including the captain himself, as a unit of four (five including medic). Whatcha think?

Works for me perfectly. With some luck, I may even be quick in tagging >.>

Whoot!!

Okay this is what Charles is cleared by the mods to be capable of along with his standard permission post parlor tricks.

He really won't be interested in killing anyone, knocking large volumes of them unconscious, yes, killing, not so much.

He'll also be his own communication device, so to speak, to any mind he can reach between multiple ships, so long as they are not in hyperspace.

I'm easiest to get hold of via a PM to this journal or AIM @ Laekhund.

Could Charles set up a mental kind of network of communication between the whole team while they work? Like, so they could telepathically communicate with one another across the ship.

excessivehubris January 8 2012, 05:48:15 UTC
If you mean, could he make it so that his telepathy allowed Buffy to speak directly to Lois, no he could not do that.

He could, however act as a hub of sorts and relay messages across the team and even from team to team across the ships. That sort of communication he can do while still being effective at infiltrating, like walking and chewing gum!
