When I'm there, I can fight. Even it means I have to do it without a weapon.

[chikaidestroyer]

Under the right circumstances, you may not have to go without one. Have you put any thought in what you may have brought in?

[markofthewise]

I guess my sword would be a bit much to ask for... and I'm not sure how much good a boomerang is indoors.

[chikaidestroyer]

A sling or a knife, perhaps? Or would you be more comfortable fighting weaponless?

[cowledcrusader]

[...And it's finally time to see what Albert Silverberg can do.]

I will be participating in the infiltration operation. We should arrange a meeting to discuss strategy, Albert.

[chikaidestroyer]

Of course. I have been told of some of your intentions, and I am interested in your input.

[cowledcrusader]

Likewise.

Catherine has given me some intelligence of the building's function. It's not much to go on, but it gives us a place to start.

We know that there are labs specifically for Shifting research, and others where they would do their anatomical experimentation -- those would be their "important" departments. Others would likely be supporting those labs.

What have you learned?

[Locked, because he's just that way]

[derek_bliss]

Looks like we'll be working together again.

[Locked, because Derek's funny like that]

[chikaidestroyer]

Indeed. It's been awhile since we have, Mr. Bliss. You are preparing?

[Locked, because Derek's funny like that]

[derek_bliss]

Best I can. Can't take the sword, but definitely be taking the gun if I can.

Gonna be strange to see the place without being drugged to the gills.

Got any plans so far?

Our primary objective is to take complete control of the facility without having any workers escape.

Our sub-objectives are to locate the prisoners, learn what we can without giving away our positions, disable the facility's machines and drones, rendezvous with the prisoners, signal the frontlines unit, and seal all the exits.

We want to avoid alerting the renegades before we have acquired a floor plan and established chokepoints. They will have the advantage in numbers, so we need to minimize exposure to too many of them at once.

[mountain_sage]

If magical items cannot be taken into these facilities, there won't be much I can do. Will there be a way to escort people back to the village after the rescue?

[chikaidestroyer]

Not to my knowledge; even if we found a transporter within the facility, we would have to figure out how to safely send people back.

My warning is mostly because Catherine mentioned the Shifting labs being very sensitive to magic. Anyone infiltrating that area should not be wearing or carrying anything that may exude enough magic to be detected. You may be able to have something brought in if the infiltrator is not sent to the labs.

[mountain_sage]

...I see.

I only ask because, according to "Catherine," I am on the schedule to be taken, and I would not want to be a burden after being rescued. So it's only a matter of making sure whoever brings magical items will not be sent to the labs...

[chikaidestroyer]

Correct, if we know who will likely have the least contact with the labs, we can try to bring in a weapon for you. Do you have anything that may be discreetly carried?

[count_gardios]

I'm currently weaponless anyway, so I'm afraid I won't be much use. I'll try to keep my head down.

[He can't even punch someone hard enough to make them reconsider sacrificing themselves so he can punch them again LATER.]

[chikaidestroyer]

Merely having a presence may give us an advantage, if they know we are all working together. We need to be sure to capture everyone and block the exits. ...Creativity may come into play in that way.

[count_gardios]

I'm open to being ordered around, if that's what you need. Though we might want to rush if you'd like me to come up with something specific. [The droids tend to snatch him in the middle of the night, he's found.]

[chikaidestroyer]

It depends on what the infiltration team finds inside of the building; you may be asked to support some of them in securing different areas. You can stand in the background and intimidating, correct? [Guy? Intimidating?]
