Infiltration Discussion

This is a post where participants in the infiltration staged in late July can ask questions about what befell their characters during the break-in. Due to the magnitude of involvement with the infiltration, as well as how long the threads have gone without conclusion, the mod team has decided that the fastest way to tie up the loose ends of these threads is with this discussion post.

There are threads for each group that was involved in the infiltration. Please reply to the appropriate thread with any questions you have pertaining to what your character saw or experienced while in the administrative levels. As groups 02 and 06 both have completed IC threads, neither of these groups have question threads.

Was the level Team Dragonquest arrived at actually Processing?

Yes! They would have arrived in the large processing room, though it would have been filled with retrieval units and worker units. The chances of all of them managing to get through the room undetected would be next to nil, but some of them may have been able to get through to other sections of the room. Anyone caught would have had their neck snapped.

Alright. Assuming that some of them managed to stay undetected, would there have been any chance of finding the stylus and/or getting out alive?

Edit: Also. Would they have seen any body from the previous groups?

Getting out alive chances are slim--I'd say no more than one or two of them to get in and out of the processing chamber and that's if they managed to be extremely stealthy about it. They would have had to steal a stylus directly from the worker units which would have also attracted a lot of attention.

They may have seen bodies from previous groups, yes--likely groups three and four, though maybe some of group two that lasted the longest.

Would they have gotten their powers back at any point? Or would there have been an opportunity to recall the pokemon and/or use them (and the dream eaters) for a distraction?

They would not have gotten their powers back because of the floor they were on. They could use the Pokemon/Dream Eaters for distraction though the Pokemon/Dream Eaters who got used would have gotten killed (though they would revive the next day).

What's the likelyhood that two of them made it through processing with a pokemon distraction? Would that make it easier to snag a stylus in the confusion?
animusnpcs: (Default)

[personal profile] animusnpcs 2013-08-28 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
That would be possible, yes. Grabbing a stylus would also be possible in this case. Of course, with the Pokemon and Dream Eaters eliminated, they would have had to figure out how to get back up.

If one hadn't been used for the distraction?

To be specific, I was thinking all but a dragon used, the dragon kept closer to the way out (possibly out of sight if possible) and the two survivors trying to complete the mission and make a break for it - via the dragon.

Possible if they kept it out of sight in the elevator shaft. They would make it out but die of psychoradiation poisoning not long after arriving back in the cafeteria. If they could pass the styluses off before they died they would be able to keep them.

[personal profile] justabignobody 2013-08-28 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Would they know/sense that they were dieing? Also, would the psychoradiation poisoning effect powers?
animusnpcs: (Default)

[personal profile] animusnpcs 2013-08-28 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
It wouldn't effect powers directly but it cannot be healed via the use of powers. Psychoradiation poisoning involves increasing hallucinations, thinking strange thoughts (being convinced of things with no evidence, paranoia, etc.), wounds appearing on the body, an increasingly severe headache, bleeding from the ears, and then death, so it's possible they would have realized.

Yeah I know I'm in group 2 but which ones do you mean for "lasted the longest"? I ask because close CR and terribleness.

The ones who died in the elevator shaft/were caught fairly quickly would already have been processed. They might have been able to find Xion because Jason took his time on her.

As someone who has a lot of difficulty picturing spaces, I'm confused - how far in the room would most of them have likely been able to get? Just a couple of steps? Ten feet? Sorry if this is asking you to be repetitive, I'm just...like I said, I'm very bad at making a clear picture of situations like this in my head.

Also, where would they have needed to be to see bodies from the other groups, and how likely is most of the group to have gotten that far?

[personal profile] animusnpcs 2013-08-28 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
It's a very large room because the device that separates souls is very large. It would depend on how they went about infiltrating how quickly they were caught--if they charged in they wouldn't make it very far, but if they were careful about it they could make it maybe halfway.

They would be able to see the bodies from any point in the room, because the device that separates souls out is the centerpiece of the room and also the largest part, so it can be seen from any location in the room unless they were behind something that was directly blocking their view.

So we (Group 5) discussed on plurk how this could go down and came to the conclusion that:

- John, Sora, Naoya and Rose would launch a distraction with help the Pokémon and the Dream Eaters
- [AU] Riku would launch a secondary distraction by pretending to be one of the Stealth Masters
- [OU] Riku and Dave, being the actual Stealth Masters, would manage to stay hidden and each grab a stylus while there is chaos everywhere and then make it back to elevator

Would that be alright? :|a
