I think it's time to get down to the hard-core planning, folks, and
that's why I wanted to have the meeting. I'm telling you here because I
think that it'll be the easiest to get our stuff upfront and do our
planning out of character. It wouldn't be done of the list anyway, and
there's just too many people involved to do it via private email.

I'll start.

AJ and Slash have MAJOR problems with using hard core weaponry on the
"innocent" people of the ocombound. It's not thier fault. However,
neither is opposed to firing the missiles at the facility, just so long
as they're empty warheads. No real damage, one hell of a distraction.

Diana is rediscovering her dark side, and going in deeper into her Petro
nature than she has in years. She'll be summoning zombies and sending
them at the fences. The mines will kill them all, of course, but again,
it's a distraction that might enable the team to get in or out.

Roxey is just going and has a full batter of greater elementals(that's
all she's been doing for the last while, and she's got a LOT of
elementals at her command).

The Duke is just going along because the raiders will need all the help
they can get.

If anyone hasn't posted thier stuff, then just forward it here to
plot-d. It's probably going to be easier to do that at this point.

Part of the reason I'm doing this is that we really need to get this
sucker going, and plot-d is easier and we all can come up with a more
coherent plan. Now, eventually I'll cut it off and start writing.

Maxim's nukes are holding up the rest of the list, I get the feeling, and
I'm sick of the whole damn thing myself. It's time to end it, so let's
get going.

Just in case any of your characters don't know, they're working with a
vamp, so be aware of that. If that's a problem for any of your
characters, as the nuke disposal could be for Buzz and the rest of Tom's
characters, speak up.

We have a lot of security to get through, 5 Maxim uniforms, a vamp with a
sneaksuit he'll be using, and a hell of a lot of additional info. From
what I've sent each of you, tell us all how you think we can get through
what I've designed.

I tried to close all the holes(there are airborne drones, Jovian-As,
which is how the recon folk were spotted even with the Shadowhound's
Darkness ability) in order to do with it what I figured Maxim would.

Oh, I didn't tell everyone everything, and ultimately, I have control
over how it all ends(it'll be successful, of course), but I want a lot of
input on the way it starts.

Well, Shade can provide information on all the paranormals in-use. Also,
thanks to the fact that he is a summoning adept and animals base much off of
a sense of smell, by spraying themselves with the scents non-offensive to
the paranormals, Shade can try to convince them that we are on Their Side.
and the other smelly guards are the enemy.
Second, since the spirits of the area do not like the presence of
the Nukes, Shade might be able to convince them to help us presuming we
promise not to contaminate the area and to help them reclaim that area.
They could use accident upon our foes, guard on us to prevent mishaps. They
could help to conceal us.
As for the Monowire, a well-instructed spirit could start plunking
away the strings. The storm ability can be used to set off the mine-fields
without wasting any resources. Also, the storms caused by storm Spirits
could produce enough random electromagnetism to hurt their radar, not to
mention that lightning might strike those buildings. The spirits could
alternately alienate and unalienate the people fighting against us. In
short, if we befriend the local spirits and use summoning magic to reinforce
them instead of forcing them to help, then on our way out they can easily
turn the enviroment against Maxim that will sow seeds of mass destruction
and confusion among their soldiers.
Lastly, for the guys with the ramjet riffles firing the grenades, a
well-placed invisible anti-bullet barrier or other barrier of some sort
could reflect their fire into their very own faces.

Sinc.
