Radio Tower Take-Over info!

ATTENTION, ROCKETS.

We see that you have all integrated safely into the Tower's employ without detection. Good work. Continue and you shall all be rewarded when we succeed.

The time has come at last to launch phase 2 of our plan into action. Contained in this message are orders for all of you. New recruits will be arriving to Goldenrod City in a few hours to support you all in your tasks. Pay close attention, as any straying from your orders will result in severe punishment.



GRUNTS MARONA AND RITSU
Being in the janitorial position, you are in possession of keys to almost everything apart from the most high-security areas. As such, await the arrival of outside parties of Grunts in the basement next to both back entrances. You are in charge of letting them in.
If your fellow janitorial staff ask too many questions or try to prevent you from doing this/alert anyone, silence them.

GRUNTS NIOU AND FUJI
On the ground floor, your task is to keep things under control. We will be allowing many Grunts entrance incognito-- however, just in case, to avoid arousing suspicion, GRUNT NIOU must ensure that his fellow reception desk workers do not ask too many questions about the groups being allowed entrance.
GRUNT FUJI, it is YOUR task to distract the tourists as much as possible until the attack is well underway.

GRUNTS SPADES SLICK and PRIME (Tarantulas)
You have been tasked with eliminating two major obstacles standing in the way of our operation. Two Grunts (SANTA and KEN ICHIJOUJI) will be dispatched under your leadership to help you achieve these tasks.
1. The security doors and surveillance cameras. In order to ensure our complete take-over, all doors must be unlocked to eliminate all that stands in our way. To do this, one requires secure passwords known only to the tech maitenence employees. Enter the maitenence office and 'encourage' any on duty to aid us in our noble cause. Use force if necessary. Take whichever of the Grunts is more suited to intimidation to help you.
2. Disabling the radio communications to prevent any workers from calling for help using their PokeGears. Whichever of you is more science-minded should take on this task, as it will take time (which is of the essence!).
This task must be accomplished directly after you enter the building.

GRUNT RACHEL
As you are working in the call center, it is your task to, until the transmitter and phonelines are disabled, tie up as many lines as possible without arousing suspicion, so as both to keep the other workers occupied and to prevent any snitches from potentially phoning out of the building for help. There will be other Grunts aiding you in this task by phoning in from their own personal 'Gears.
Remember that anything they might say could wind up on air, so take care not to allow any sort of hint of what is coming to be given. Try to get as many of their calls put on air as possible and encourage them to stall and take up time until the phonelines are cut.

GRUNTS JULIE, FLONNE, YUKIMURA, DEUCE, FAY, AND KARIYA
While waiting to be let in, you are to call in to any of the available radio stations and speak on the shows for as long as possible. This is to tie up the lines and keep the Tower's staff unaware of our presence for as long as possible. Talk for as long as you can. Any attempt (even accidental) to warn anyone of the oncoming takeover will be swiftly and brutally punished. You have been warned.
As soon as the phonelines and radio transmitter are disconnected, you are to immediately aid your superiors in the take-over, including suppressing any attempts at escape or resistance made on the parts of Tower staff or tourists. Use force where necessary.

GRUNT DIAMONDS DROOG
We understand you are good at 'convincing' people to do things they might not otherwise do. For this reason, once the Tower's security is breached, you are ordered to proceed to the finances department and 'convince' whoever is working there to allow you access to all of the Radio Tower's funds. Use force if necessary.

GRUNT EASEL
When the phonelines and PokeGears are downed, we will not be able to prevent our presence from being known any longer. Chances are that your fellow security guards will try to attack our forces. Do whatever you can to incapacitate them. If this means deceiving them and seemingly switching sides at the last minute, do that. Team Rocket prides itself on its cunning and malevolent sense of dramatic timing.

PRIVATES COBRA COMMANDER and KNEESOCKS DAEMON:
You have been charged with a task of utmost importance. In addition to leading the attack on the Radio Tower, it falls to you to capture the Director. His office is located on the very top floor. Without his capture, our entire mission will be useless (and you will be held responsible for its failure). In addition, he must not be killed or injured too grievously.
The floor of his office is locked by keycard and guarded by trained personnel. Other Grunts will be assigned to eliminating the security issue, but it shall fall to you to make sure the guards are out of commission. To aid in this, grunts GRELL SUTCLIFFE (your assistant) and DAHLIA HAWTHORNE (who, it has come to our attention, is good with poisons and status ailments) have been assigned to help you dispose of the guards. Sleep Powder is preferable to poison, as it will draw less suspicion.

IMPORTANT: When you have captured the Director, contact us IMMEDIATELY for further instruction.






The takeover will occur the night of the sixteeth and must be executed perfectly. You know what you must do.

LONG LIVE TEAM ROCKET!







ooc: The Takeover will occur in a large log post in which you'll be able to create your own threads according to whatever your characters need to be doing/who they'll be interacting with! By all means, take the time to brainstorm possible scenarios for your scenes to take with the other people you'll be playing with! This is a big event involving lots of people, so the more communication going on between you all, the better!

HERE ARE SOME FACTS YOU NEED TO KNOW:

*Fairly large numbers of incognito NPC Rocket grunts will also be present to aid in the takeover-- use them as you will!

*The on-air stalling conversations WILL be hearable to ANYONE IN JOHTO LISTENING, so have fun and feel free to get wacky-- though there will be an incognito Rocket Grunt standing by to disconnect the calls in the event of any mention of the upcoming take-over even if Rachel doesn't!

*When the phonelines are cut and the radio transmitters are disabled, none of the 'Gears in the Tower will be functioning-- leaving those inside without any way of calling for help. However, PRIOR to that, calls may be made-- which is of course why most of the Rocket Grunts have been informed to stay quiet and incognito until then!
In addition, all radio programs that anyone outside of the Tower might have been listening to will be cut off abruptly at this time. Aww, bummer.

*In addition to Tower Workers and Rocket Grunts, other people present can include people visiting the Tower on a tour. Several have already volunteered their characters for this and preferably the number should be kept small in the interest of realism.

*This event will END with the capture of the Director, at which point he will be taken hostage. Further info will be given on what happens after that point!




AS USUAL, please direct any questions at all to the QUESTIONS THREAD below!

During this event, any of the mods will be happy to provide NPC action if you require it-- and in addition, because this event is so interaction-based, we'd like to emphasize that if ANY of you encounter problems getting in contact with fellow players necessary for your thread to proceed, or someone disappears off the face of the planet mid-thread, please come to us! We don't want anyone's experience ruined by inactivity on the part of anybody else!




ALSO.

If you play a Rocket Grunt (or tower worker!) involved in this plot and don't see yourself listed, it's either because we dun goofed, OR because you did not comment here!

This plot outline is flexible and we'll be happy to edit any missing people in before the event takes place-- so if you still want to participate, please comment on the linked post!

Not a question per-se, but Tarantulas will be using the name "Prime" while he's incognito (cause he's a dick) if you want to put that up there.

Also this looks great *A*

AND ON THAT NOTE--

Slick, Santa, and Ken--!? How would you guys like to plan all of this out. :Oa

[identity profile] ninth-chosen.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Ummm, anything's fine with me? Ken will be pretty uncooperative, but he is smart and good with technology/science/etc. I'm technically on a slowaitus but I should be able to plot/tag/participate still. :>

/wrong journal but Barney Plottings here

[identity profile] patternprophet.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Anyone who wants to plot with Barney who will be in the building please do it here.

So, want your character to be distracted by an idle conversation about girls or just general Barney stuff? Or a completely useless hostage? Or idk whatever you want.

Please note that activating plottings will be assigning you to much backtagging.

[identity profile] redderbyrules.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
So. Much. Awesome.

Dahlia? Kneesocks may ask you to come along for the Director mission in order to knock out/poison the troublesome man. You would be rewarded handsomely if done so! ...by that i mean ask me for something and I'll find an IC way for her to hand it over.

If anyone want extra plottings with Kneesocks and Kasanoda, tell me!

[identity profile] hintcoinplz.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Luke will be on the tour of Radio Tower. Does anyone want to do some plotting (I may be kinda slow, I have much schoolwork to do during this week ;A;)? He's got a huge bear Pokemon so he's not completely defenseless!

[identity profile] serpensrex.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
How do you want to plot out the duties for the Privates?

[identity profile] boldandresolute.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
So, Liquid over here is going to go charging in like an idiot yeah, go charging in like an idiot when he hears that his boyfriend Otacon is in trouble. Anyone who wants to go with him/fight him/knock him the hell out, let me know and we can get our plottin' on. :D

[identity profile] usedbadpun.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
Welp, Slick is NOT a sciency guy and would prefer it if he solved all of his missions with many knife wounds.

Also he'd probably try to take charge of their task as he is a mafia leader.

[identity profile] cynicizing.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Santa's decent in both science and intimidation (... well, if yelling and swearing profusely counts as such :|;;;), so no preferences there. /o/ He'll probably be cooperative for the most part, unless things, um. Start getting out of hand.

[identity profile] love4monochrome.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
Hey. Hey there. I heard you don't like your boyfriend in trouble. Heard you like to fight. This sounds like it could be promising. 8)

[identity profile] pluckycharm.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
WHOOOO wants to deal with a 14-year-old?? She'll be working admittance up front and is... probably going to start getting suspicious.

[identity profile] kickthecanplz.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm up for anything, really!

[identity profile] boldandresolute.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 01:33 pm (UTC)(link)
It does indeed. :3 I don't know anything about Diamond Droog's canon, so what were you thinking?

Pretend I'm on my other account 8D;

[identity profile] usedmiracles.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, Droog is definitely a violent sort of fellow, he wouldn't have any qualms with settling Liquid down if he became a problem, nor would he think anything of it if he had to harm a certain nerd in order to complete his objective. So really, I suppose if you'd like to do something along those lines? Of course maybe we could flesh this out a bit more than that hahah.

So!

WHO WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A SUPERHERO WANNABE ON THEIR HANDS. Because Shirou is working as maintenance staff in the radio tower, and once he figures out what's going on, he is NOT gonna stand idly by.

[identity profile] love4monochrome.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey there. B)

[identity profile] boldandresolute.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm perfectly fine with something like that.

Unless Droog can stand up in a fight against a highly trained supersoldier out for blood, though, his best bet would be to go after Otacon. Although, if he does harm the nerd, this will a.) make Liquid very, very angry (and you wouldn't like him when he's angry) and b.) will be the start of an everlasting grudge against him. So Liquid'll be out for his blood for a long time lol

[identity profile] love4monochrome.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Droog can definitely handle that, I am definitely familiar with Liquid 8D;; but in short Droog is a sociopathic, alien mobster that kills people for the smallest offense; something along the lines of getting his tie dirty is an offense he would kill someone over. Would I say he necessarily is physically up to par with Liquid? Maybe when he wasn't human, but Droog is a smart fighter so it'd be a good match if anything. He was able to kill a good handful of time manipulating mobsters while he lacks any powers other than wit and skill, if that says anything.

Droog also isn't looking to make friends, so he wouldn't care much if someone was out for his blood. Seeing as in his canon, basically an entire mob is out to kill them, and vice versa.

If anything happens to her, Riku will be pissed.

[identity profile] serpensrex.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Cobra Commander's the type to take charge and at least act like a leader, so he'll definitely want to be out there issuing orders and stuff.

But he's pretty failure prone, so I don't know if you'd prefer he leave the kidnapping to the Kneesocks and the assistants while he issues commands or if you want him to aid in the kidnapping and mainly just yell at people along the way.

[identity profile] redderbyrules.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
The former sounds more IC for the both of them, Kneesocks kidnapping while he gives commands. She'll still pretend to be loyal to him, just for shits and giggles.
