Team Orange Strikes Back; Sleeper Agent plot ( Post 2! )

[perfectringofscars]

Okay. Only some of Team Orange is directly involved this time around, since Dyson (supremesassy ) is back at the Compound guarding Esme ( noprincecharming ) and S.A.M. ( prototype_son ) while Program!Flynn (builtromeinaday ) is locked in Clu's quarters. And, since we got a couple of PC's involved this time around, here's what's going down inside Tron City;

>Rinzlers ( both notglitching and commander_scarecrow ) are sent first to the media outlet station to upload a Very Important Announcement. Both will have to fight their way out again, and this leads to the eventual capture of Rinzler 1 ( notglitching )

>Sleeper Agent Code is triggered. How you think it would work for your character ( zombiefied, a compulsion they are aware of but can't control, etc ) is up to you. As is how events play out.

>Said Sleeper Agents then become the saboteurs of the energy processing plant.

Characters Affected

- Kade ( annualprank ); Hacking program, used to override all locks, and security on the energy distillery and processing center.

- 0rca ( 0rca ); Sent to the control center to crank down the coolant flow, and ( in theory ) cause a chain reaction toward meltdown.

- Allon ( overarch ); Opening the outflow channels ( think big fluid pumps ) so that energy floods the interior of the processing center, and ( again in theory ) help the destruction along.

>How you choose to play these scenarios out is up to you, but mayhem is the key. Explosions, running from ( or even fighting? ) Security personnel, or just getting caught and thrown in Grid!jail straight off. However you want to play it out is up to you.

>Once a Sleeper Agent's task is accomplished, it is up to mun discretion whether or not they realize what they've done right at that moment, or not until they've rebooted. Likewise, it is up to mun discretion whether or not there are any lasting memory glitches, or your character remembers everything with perfect clarity.

>Yes, Clu will be a more active participant this time around, but making sure things go according to his plans.

>Compiler ( confusedloyalty ) is on escape route detail, however, so Clu is that much harder to track.

Sooo uh, Rinzler(s?). How about that rematch with Tron? :D

...you really had to use that account, didn't you. |D;

[notglitching]

Rinzler likes rematches. He's less a fan of losing, but hey, can't have everything.

Hey she'd be more than willing to bop you over the head and drag you off too, Rinzler. <3

[systemtrace]

Eeeeeexcellent.

[voiceless_anon]

Hmmmm. Is there anything to say that this is the only processing plant, or it it just the main one? Depending on how much damage it takes, it might be easier to call this the main plant and have secondary, smaller ones in other parts of the city still functioning afterwards.

[perfectringofscars]

Assuming it's a primary? This was posed to modly ones a while back, and no clear cut answer was given. For the sake of continued function, though, assuming there's either rationing to be had, or smaller facilities elsewhere is probably best.

[namesram]

I'd like to say it's a main one, and the main/only one for the sectors it serves, but that the Grid is too huge to be served by a single plant. That allows characters to live in affected (possibly rationed, possibly blacked-out) sectors or unaffected sectors, as their muns choose. Big enough to affect a significant area and make Clu's point, though. Does that sound good?

[perfectringofscars]

It's your call on either account, but sure. In order to serve Clu's plans, it would have to be the main processing plant for the city at large, though. Not just a single sector. I have been playing as though this attack hit the primary processing plant for Tron City at large. There may be smaller ones elsewhere, but they are meant for backup or handling any overflow in demand.

[namesram]

Hmmmmmm. WELP, I guess it is then! XD

[confusedloyalty]

I'm certain a Sam face helping Clu will also cause some table flipping if he's spotted.

Also poor R1 it's just not your week at all.

[voiceless_anon]

Two Sam faces. Compiler and Kade.

[confusedloyalty]

How could I forget that. I blame not enough tea in my system. Man Security is going to be most displeased by all of this on every level.

[voiceless_anon]

Anon is going to have a headache for a week.

[confusedloyalty]

Might be time to see if there is such a thing as vacation time there Anon.

[voiceless_anon]

Vacation? What is this strange and foreign word you use?

[confusedloyalty]

Something Compiler has only read about in fictional stories. He thinks it's sort of like being held captive and not allowed access to your functions. Though that could be wrong, it's the only comparison he has for it really.

[heyalanhey]

It's a User thing. Roy recommends it and would be happy to offer pointers. :

[letsbebadguys]

I'm gonna shove Britt into getting his job back at the Comms centre so he can put the word out about the sabotage when things start blowing up. Either that, or he'll just barge his way into the tower and start barking orders when its apparent they're sitting with their thumbs up their ports. Tron can officiate him later.

[letsbebadguys]

I will pretend the chaos of the sudden energy shortage is keeping Kato so busy at the EoL that he misses all the announcements read in Britt's voice - or Britt doesn't actually make the announcements himself. That's what lackeys are for.

[electrifaction]

Eckert'll screen said words on every flat surface in the club so nobody misses 'em. >{

..but will unfortunately end up screening the ones not in Britt's voice, and/or screening the ones with Britt's voice when Kato's out of the room. OOPS.

RINZLER(s) PLOTTING AND STUFF

[notglitching]

So. Rinzler (with Rinzlerbuddy) will be fighting his way into the comm center, disrupting communications, uploading Clu's funniest home video Important Announcement, and then fighting his way out. At some point during exit, there will be capture and Things.

Tag Here for plottings on that? \o/ Either encounters on the way in, struggles/problems in Communications, or outward encounters/capture things/etc. Seriously; up for whatever, not just plot crucial whatsits, so feel free to throw ideas.

Things to note:

> The media whatsit will be successful (though that doesn't mean countering attempts can't happen), and will briefly override all communication channels/etc. with Clu's message. Rinzler will probably leave it looping, so have fun trying to coordinate over your security frequencies and public terminals until someone gets that shut off.

> I am good with Rinzler getting injured, so... feel free to throw whoever/whatever at him on the way out. With lethal intent or otherwise (Hi Tron.)

> That said, current plot has him being captured-not-derezzed, so... at least one person wanting to intervene in a slightly-less-lethal way is probably neecessary. Volunteers welcome?

Re: RINZLER(s) PLOTTING AND STUFF

[letsbebadguys]

Ah, I have found Britt's entry point, then. He'll come running when the communications go down, may or may not be in time to lend a shock-staff to the fighting. He's used to speed and sparring against two disks with Kato. In any case, he'll take charge of the chaos left behind and work on getting comms back up and functioning from the Rinzler hack-job once the murderkitty has been subdued.

Re: RINZLER(s) PLOTTING AND STUFF

[notglitching]

Alright! So, Britt coming in after to fix the comms up again (having coordination ability back soon will definitely be to the Free Grid's advantage.) And possibly/probably jumping into the escape-fight to help keep R2 busy?

He can run into the fight on his way in; stop and help briefly, then head in to fix things up once the combats quiet down? \o/

Re: RINZLER(s) PLOTTING AND STUFF

[letsbebadguys]

Yup! Sounds good. And hopefully his take-charge attitude will get the comms people in line instead of staring suspiciously at the yellow secondary circuits and wondering if he's on the side of the attackers.

[voiceless_anon]

I can offer either Anon or Alan to help with the Rinzler capture - Anon because he's good enough to help take Rinzler down without killing him, and Alan because Alan is probably one of the few people on the Grid that Rinzler will not automatically maim.

[notglitching]

Both seem useful here. :D Alan's pretty much the only person both Tron and Rinzler will listen to in terms of ending things non-lethally, and Anon's one of the few combatants up to handling Rinzlers.

With Anon, did you want him helping to handle R2, or R1, or both? I could see him being useful in the takedown, but we could also probably use backup with R2-- no offense to Britt, but I don't see him versus a Rinzler solo ending too well for him.

[voiceless_anon]

Tron can hold his own against R1, and he'll have Alan, so Anon would probably be better off dealing with R2.

Hmmm. Maybe Britt can pitch in to help Anon, R2 decides that following R1's orders and escaping is the priority, Anon chases until R2 gets shortcut-ed away, and Britt keeps going to get things organised?

[notglitching]

Sounds like a plan! Not sure how badly Tron or Rinzler will maul each other, but Alan being around to take care of things there will help, and Anon can head off to handle sleeper-programs afterwards.

[systemtrace]

Tron and Rinzler 1 having round 2 sounds good to me. :3 I can throw him in for the capture part near the end. Alan breaking things up also sounds good.

[tanks4thememory]

Clu1 will not be getting involved in any of the actual fighting (he's had quite enough of getting his ass kicked for awhile, thank you), though anyone who wants him to be there to help snap your guy out of their trance, or whatever, I'm sure we can arrange something. :3 Otherwise, I figure he'd be trying to counter-hack things in order to limit/prevent damage during the event itself.

Afterwards, he'd step up and vouch for Kade and 0rca (and probably Allon too, though it wouldn't have as much weight there, as they'd have never met before this) during the inevitable questioning that would follow. He may also recommend that anyone who's had confirmed contact with a hostile Clu or Rinzler within a certain time frame have their code checked over, just to prevent any more surprises.

Cantus can show up in the aftermath too, once he's heard about what happened, and vouch for 0rca and Allon, but IDK if security would let anyone in who wasn't involved, so that might not work. Otherwise he doesn't really have anything to do here.

And... that's all I've got. X3

[overarch]

If Allon was asked for references, Cantus's name would come up. And then there would be a lot of clinging and WHAT HAPPEN D:.

[tanks4thememory]

Clinging would definitely be a thing with Cantus yes. All the clinging and comforting for both Alon and 0rca. And this would probably also cement the idea in his mind of self-defense training being a good idea.

[ranoutofbuts]

Wrong account, can't get in at the moment. But It has been agreed that buff!Tron 'buffer_this_system' shall be going after Allon. This is in a bad far away sector where the energy processing plant is going to be sabotaged (or attempted anyways). buff!Tron has been doing long distant patrols since he can take care of himself. Any others are certainly welcome to join in >_> as I has no actual CR with Allon. (sorry for rambling, really late right now)

[overarch]

\o/ Allon will be ALL the confused. And hey, the way to get CR is to start it!

[amplifying]

Is it too late to kind of toss him in here...?

[perfectringofscars]

Um, this log is underway already? If you want Beck to see/react to what's going on, I'd recommend getting in touch with some of the other players c:?

You can reach me on Plurk ( I'm Angelcide there ) and the lot of us generally can be reached through our plurks for RP and plotting and stuff.

[amplifying]

Oohads;lfjkjdfkls oopsies

sorry about that, ehheh. sorryyyyyyy

[perfectringofscars]

Shush, it's totes cool!

...Actually I just play this douchecanoe Clu in this log. It's the other folks that really make these logs awesome ;D

Come join us on Plurk, and we can plot for Stuff /o/

[amplifying]

Awww, I bet you guys all make the logs awesome. From what I've seen so far everyone has!

Only if you want me to! I'll send in a request here quick.~

aftermath??

[program_spark]

Okay I really have no idea how to join bigger group stuff like this, so I've mostly hung out on the sidelines with smaller threads. But now that my computer is functional again, I would like to join a larger thing. Obviously since the main plot seems to be over, I can't join in that, but is there something Spark can do to help with the cleanup? Is this where I ask? How do I go about it?
