I believe unNarvin will be going after Rassilon, although he also might want a minion to help him once he's taken down Rassilon in a surprise assault.

Karin? Do you prefer the time machine theft attempt to be successful or not? (And also, how much do you want to traumatize Una? Because unNarvin could potentially be very traumatizing. Or the theft attempt could be by one of the possessed or while Una isn't around to avoid trauma.)

[mrs_persson]

HMM. My instinct is to go for maximum disruption, especially since this is effectively a sequel to what happened last time.

I'm not sure if I want the theft to be entirely successful, but I'm okay with ruining Una's day otherwise. She could arrive in time to disrupt the thievery process (and flip out, because goddammit Narvin, didn't you learn last time?) and not!Narvin could get away with some part or one of her navigational instruments, if not the whole thing.

[timesbureaucrat]

If she catches him, he'd have to rip out some of her memories again so she can't tell anyone that Narvin is involved. (That discovery is being saved for Brax.)

[mrs_persson]

I'm okay with this, if you want to go that route.

[with_discipline]

FFF yes I definitely still want T'Pol to be involved. I've gotten so behind in what I have to post for her, sob. I'll try to get a post up for the actual infection tomorrow, but either way we can assume it's happened? I'll brush up on all the d etails and get on that.

And basically I'm pretty open to anything anyone would want to play out with her. /easy

[timesbureaucrat]

No worries about feeling behind. I've been the same these past couple weeks. (It's that time of year...)

And that all sounds good! And I should be free pretty much all of tomorrow and tomorrow night for infection thread.

[with_discipline]

I work all tomorrow, but I have computer access for at least half the time, so hopefully things won't be too busy. xp

WHEN DO YOU WANT A CERTAIN OTHER DERP TO BE AFFECTED BY THIS, player of his smizmar?

[expectremorse]

Yay! I like where this is going. :D

[timesbureaucrat]

I would like Buffy to be involved in the endgame, so hit me up for those plots!

ALSO. Prophetic dream-having. I can start that at any time, just need the guidelines! And want to discuss that. :3

[timesbureaucrat]

For prophetic dream-having, I was thinking that she would at first see Pandora doing all the things. So there can be a "I'm dreaming about this strange lady, why?" reaction. (Without knowing her name or that she's Gallifreyan. That's the big guideline, since there are various Bargefolk who would recognize who would have Suspicions if Buffy said the name "Pandora.") And then towards the end possibly shift to dreams about Narvin and the other infected.

ALSO, is she more likely to public post about the dreams, or just tell people she trusts, or tell the people featured in them or...? Since that might determine how much information can be in them, so people like Brax (who knows all about Pandora) don't figure it out too soon.

[aboutpower]

I can restrict all of it as much as possible. At first Buffy won't really realize they're prophetic. Not until the second or third time, when something else in those dreams comes to pass and she figures it out. (Something mundane and dealing with not this plot of course.)

ALL THE THINGS. What things are these. :|

She probably won't post publicly about the dreams. Once she's sure there's something going on though.. If Narvin appears she will probably confront him first. Anyone else who appears to be involved she will ask directly. She may mention the dreams to those close to her but not get into much detail. A public post may happen towards endgame, especially if Buffy is gonna be the one to alert most of the people involved in the plot to what is going on.

[timesbureaucrat]

THE THINGS...which will be figured out in this plotting post. Possibly the first thing would be the infection of Hoffman and T'Pol (and Jim Profit if Cath confirms). So she could have had dreams about a Strange Lady mindraping people.

And that all sounds excellent. Since they won't have memories of what they're doing when Pandora is in sleeper mode, they can be all "???" when Buffy confronts them.

UnNarvin is going to be caught out by Brax, but she might be able to tell people who all's been infected, so there isn't a pod people panic of ANYONE MIGHT BE EVIL.

[truemask]

I'd like to throw in Lucius. I'M NOT SURE HOW YET, I'll get my head around things first and comment with more, unless you have immediate suggestions.

[timesbureaucrat]

Suggestions!

Either Pandora can go after something interesting and magical Lucius has (or she thinks that Lucius has). Or. She could just take a sudden and violent dislike to him, simply because he's magical. And she's from a time in Gallifreyan history which is not long after they had a bloody revolution to get rid of magic and superstition on Gallifrey.

That's what first pops into my head. *ponders*

[truemask]

OH THAT IS... quite interesting. He is a wizard terrorist, after all. An attack like that would be relevant to my interests if it's finagle-able, or she could be after his wand believing it to be necessary or adaptable with technology to be useable.

Or, you know. Both.

[timesbureaucrat]

I like both. So it can both be a practical attack with a personal edge because she hates magic. Like an anti-magic hate crime.
