slithers in belatedly

[reconnaissance]

Yeah, let's hold off the explosions until we know the reinforcements can get in and we can get out.

( That's an important detail.
She's still not entirely comfortable with the fact that her body is camouflaging itself when she's in shadow, but she's doing her utmost to ignore it. Working out the on/off switch hasn't quite happened, yet. Just about all traces of humour have disappeared, the closer they get to doing this thing. )

I don't reckon there's gonna be enough time for us to just chuck them in wherever, even if we're going for everything-- ( and she would like to blow up everything, yes, she's accepted that she enjoys pyromania as much as the next person)-- but there are probably gonna be spots where an explosion is going to have bigger impact. Take down more of the building in one hit, yeah? Some of us can get them set up while others are collecting whatever's gonna be useful.

( Is she being bossy? A moment, and she glances back at the others. ) What do you think?

should we work out a posting order?

[Steph is silent for a moment, though she does cast a glance at Nash that could translate to you better be fucking kidding because the idea of using explosions to sneak is kind of abhorrent to her.

She also has a feeling her and Ellie are about to butt heads on how this whole thing is gonna go.]

I can handle the explosives.

[Based on the rough information Collette and Caesar have figured out, Steph's decided where she should be planting explosives. She's also... not keen to hand them over to anyone else, even Ellie.]

Right now our concern should be the route to take to the ship, who's in charge of disabling security, and what our plan is if we get caught.

[She's wondering if anyone else in this group can even handle the level of tech security the UE will likely have.]

i'm sort of winging it but yeah!!

[latkje]

Don't worry, I'm very good at being caught.

[ And then he adds, hastily, because the masked one doesn't seem to have much sense of humor. Fine, then, he can be serious. ]

I can knock out anyone, two or three seconds. [ He holds up a hand, the palm level at his face. ] Sleep spell.

[ And then he shakes his head. ] We have to trust our plan, and trust each other. I know some of us are close to strangers, but— you can't see where you're going when you're looking over your shoulder.

I probably can't do much to their systems short of [ he squints ] blowing them up. I've never seen… [ looking for the word, here ] anything like their devices.

how about as we are with ellie coming in next?

< If it's someplace tight to get into, I can handle it. Rabbits are excellent, fast chewers. I'd survive the electrocution, if it happens! >

( Probably. She's sure the experience won't be anything to write home about, but she can take things out in a way that's not easily fixable. )

< Nash, when you do that, do people just pass out where they are? That might be best in small rooms or when we're exiting on spacecraft. >

( Plans on being caught, huh? )

< The guys around the ship move in set patterns. If we time it right, we can slip in there with them being mostly none the wise. If we get a few cameras offline beforehand... >

a fine plan

[reconnaissance]

( Her gaze is set on Steph, for a while, trying to work out her tone and her mood. If there was anyone here she'd follow willingly, it's Steph. However, her attention is promptly snapped over to Collette, scowl settling on her. That is not what they talked about with being careful, and she hopes Coll can see see that. )

I've got this camouflage thing going on. If we time the routines, work that out, we can find the balance between people you ( pointing at Nash ) knock out, where Coll and I need to infiltrate, and what we can do while you ( glancing at Steph ) set up the bombs. We're all here because we're the ones that are good at it, so-- play to our strengths?

( Which means, she's nodding at Nash, grimacing with her own confession. ) Yeah, I mean... I'm out of my depth, tech wise. ( Another glance at Steph. ) What do you think? Want us to cover you and while you have all the hard work?

( Hmm. ) Or, we could stick together, set up a chain reaction of explosions as we go-- that means we won't give anything away with loud noises, so no reinforcements can come, we just have something set up that'll trigger everything to go up when we want it to.

( . . . ) I might watch too many movies. Can we do that?
