The last of the Rescue Thread Plotting Posts.

Attention: All y'all who are either hostages, rescuers, or NPCs in the kidnap rescue post!

While the log is still on-going and probably will be for a while to come, I know many have other things they'd like to plot and play with, but it's hard to establish a character's exact mindset without knowing what went down. Welp! This post is meant to help

Re: Orca Stuff

I think the rescuers would come before anything could actually be done to Fugue procedure-wise because Fugue will never actually get to his cell. Locke's intervention will keep Orca from being able to deliver Fugue and while the two are fighting Fugue will wake up. Aaaand then all three will die, probably on some elevated ledge/tunnel that leads into the hostage cavern so that people can see those deaths. (I'm not sure when these deaths will happen in relation to all the fighting. It's pretty flexible and can happen after the rescuers get there or even before, with the corpses stuck up there until the cavalry appears.)

Granted, I think it would be reasonable to assume Charger and Steve would have orders to open the door between the hostages and Fugue's cell before Orca got there so the medics can start making preparations.

As for the fighting, most of that will probably happen on the way and not seen by the hostages (I think? Feel free to weigh in, anyone who's in the log, since this one's up in the air) but since Charger and Steve are acting as guards, it makes sense that the hostages would see them be detained.

Re: Lyle, Stellaris, and Reactions

Lyle will be among the rescuers, so he would probably want to seek Stella out the moment fighting is done and the hostages are free. BUT if it's easier to have them speak to each other first at the clinic I can injure him enough to put him out of commission until then.

I...think that's everything I've got. If my rambling is confusing, just let me know and I'll clarify or rework. ^^;

Yeah probably better meet in the clinic. And that's clear enough! Thanks.

Alrighty!

I'll probably find someway to knock him unconscious once they're in the big cavern.
