The last of the Rescue Thread Plotting Posts.

[hooksandlines]

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

I'll come back to this with my other characters, but since Simon is the one I'm currently doing post-kidnapping tags with

On helping Orca--Stellaris would ultimately be willing to do it too, and will face less moral conundrum than Simon would about it. She's just skeptic on whether it would work, seeing as:
1) From her perspective, the Clinic doesn't have adequate means to safely suspend someone in a coma for indefinite time (read: cryopreservation). Barbiturates are sooo last century.
2) Who can tell what the effects would be if Fugue gets coma'd? For all they know things could get worse.
3) Can the kidnappers even bring Fugue there without getting Treeshanked?

Had someone with better persuasion/manipulation skills presented the idea to her earlier, she would have seriously considered it. Right now she mostly resents being toyed with, roughed up and then kidnapped.

Now, onto the outcome: Would the rescuers come before or after the hostages actually need to start the procedures, if they ended up doing it (or having no choice but to do it)? Would the hostages be able to see the fighting?

Next issue: Lyle. The sight/touch memory which I still need to

Yeah, that's pretty much how Simon feels. XD And part of why he's resisting helping Orca- because he's just like "would it really have taken THAT much more time and effort to approach the medics about it normally instead of making this huge show of kidnapping us?"

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

For post-kidnapping interrogation, how much info would Brianna and the Watch be able to get out of Charger and Steve? I AM ASSUMING... not a lot, but here is the stuff she'd ask:

1. Where the fuck did you get all those monsters
2. What was Orca's plan? (She already knows but she wants to know what they were told.)
3. (depending on when the three bodies are made/discovered) What do you know about these three dudes dying?
4. Who else was in on it?
5. What were your instructions?
6. How long has this been planned?

UM OTHER WATCHIES if you want to add questions to this roster, pipe up. o/

Steve and Charger wouldn't be feeling terribly loyal to the cause after being captured, but that's also something their ringleader anticipated, so he didn't tell them much.

1. Crystala? At least, some of them were...
2. Nab Fugue, put him under, save the Sphere. Kidnapping the medics was part of that since they needed people would be able to put Fugue under.
3. As much as any of the hostages do. Looks like Locke tried to stop Orca, they fought, andsomewhere along the line they and Fugue all killed each other.
4. Nothing, but you guys killed him.
5. Obtain as many medics and supplies from medical as we could and keep them in tact. Guard them as well as we could.
6. As far as we know a matter of weeks? Orca didn't tell us how long he was planning, just when and how he needed us.

Ah, just putting this out here in case someone wants to idk shake Huo about some after he reveals that he had partial knowledge of Orca's plan beforehand. I'd generally enjoy that kind of interaction. After all this goes down he will be deeply disappointed and absolutely furious at the ruin of what he considered the only good idea anyone has yet to have, and despite feeling somewhat guilty will not be inclined to take a lashing lying down, even a physical one. He will also do his darnest to convince Stoneface, Bastet, Kiba and Target that goddamnit we have to try again only this time with less monsters and kidnapping (except of Fugue and Mother), but I assume nothing comes of that bawwww noooo Sphere why ending so sooooooon...

[oxymoronic3]

Well. Fugue is kind of dead. XD

[getsome_sleep]

But, Edensphere. Dead is like a vacation.
