[WORLD TWO | JAILBREAK]

[spellbindmods]

[ Fifteen days ago, twelve members of the coven were selected to be captured and put under major scrutiny by the Shehui government. Today, they become freed.

Well, that's a pretty dramatic tag line for it all, but it's a dramatic moment isn't it? The coven members who have been taken have been subjected to some pretty hideous conditions, and their captivity and abuse has been reported to their fellow members via telepathy. With this information, and even just the knowledge that coven members have been taken at all, a plan of attack has been orchestrated.

Whether or not you're actively involved in this plan, the effects will likely be noticed immediately -- but it's up to fellow coven members to decide just how wide spread their pandemonium is. SImply put, there will be distracting forces and also those who go in for attack. Helpers and fighters. It's up to you what hand you have in helping your fellow man! ]

( ooc: Since there are a lot of different roles that can't be subsidized to their own prompts, the main given prompts in the log will be for pre- and during the jailbreak. You can have multiple prompts that take place in both situations in the event you have a multi-tiered role.

pre-jailbreak: Anything not directly involved with the government porthole location OR something leading up to the onslaught at the porthole.

during the jailbreak: Directly at the porthole and/or inside of the government hall, so labeled Lower Admin Hall C with a large connecting and locked door in a room that leads to Lower Admin Hall D. )

Let it be known that the monitors won't go down without a fight. No upper level government employees show their face, but when attacked monitors will indeed go in for the kill. However, they are initially taken by surprised. They aren't aware that their technology can be hacked, or that they have a large force that's about to come in against them.

If a monitor is felled, it's possible to take their ID card and use it to break prisoners free. They will all have clearance to access holding rooms, as well as testing centers and interrogation rooms. Use these keys to find coven members -- but characters will also find more monitors as they go through the hall.

Because this is a lower level administration area, searching the place won't find much in the way of information. This is something of the equivalent of a government prison. Weapons, medicine, files on ALL coven members (which can be taken), and similar items can be found. What's certainly more interesting is found in Lower Admin Hall D.

hacking results: Capable hackers like 9S will be able to hack into the entrance of the government building eventually, which allows for an easier flow of movement in and out. This won't be the only reward reaped from the hacking: there are tons of locked archives that are concealed within the Shehui mainframe. Most are boring, governmental gobbledygooks, aptly named things like watersystem//upperdeck and the like. Three offer some intriguing information, titled contrabandlist//highlevel, adminhalld//accessrequirementoverride and notefile//banned//writtenrecord.

The first two archives are much easier to crack open and give information as follows (with irrelevant information omitted):

contrabandlist//highlevel

Four (4) small bone fragments, electrical in nature. Dangerous ##04. Contraband Room 5.

One (1) inanimate golden box. [MODIFICATION: When collected, box was magic in nature. Expended Three (3) smooth black stones predetermined to be filled with void magic in opening said golden box for investigation. Not currently deemed dangerous. Contraband Room 1.

> RETRIEVAL: One (1) body from inanimate golden box. Still living, suspended animation. Held in Contraband Room 4. DO NOT INCLUDE OTHER CONTRABAND. CONTRABAND ROOM 4 NOW OFF LIMITS FOR NEW MATERIAL.

> DETAIL: Clothed. Height: [measurement translation to 6' 3"]. Weight: Indeterminate. Dangerous ##77. Antima Formula RE5 inserted in constant IV. No obvious name, planetary association.

adminhalld//accessrequirementoverride

This archive contains a program that can be transferred from ID card to ID card. Anyone who has this .exe in their ID card can give it to someone else. This will grant access to all Lower Admin Hall D rooms, including contraband rooms -- there are six in total. These rooms can also be looted! All magical items within these rooms won't be immediately obvious in how they are magical, but there are plenty of items there that may be looted.

notefile//banned//writtenrecord

????

new objective: jailbreak qri Utilizing this new information, coven members have the opportunity to find Qri and her golden box. While the box does seem somewhat non threatening and useless, unbeknownst to coven members it does contain void properties that allow Qri to use it as a space pocket for all the coven's shit. If you left it in the box, then you're shit out of luck if the box doesn't come to. Qri is surprisingly light, but still unconscious. Because of her size and condition, it will likely take more than one person to move her...but her body may potentially be a good meeting point for coven members. The room is isolated, and she's somewhat awe-inspiring being a large, albino-alien lady.

post-jailbreak There's certainly a hullabaloo going on in the government building as the coven members try to fight to take their monitors. One thing is for certain -- there's no going back, now.

After a while, all coven member IDs go black -- including those belonging to uninvolved parties. For some, this is only temporary. Shehui is watching, and they know who they can potentially make loyal. However, anyone involved in the break-in, as well as the Chosen 12, their IDs will remain black. All credits have been taken and their capability to unlock any door will be removed.

Suddenly the fuzzy black cards begin to emit a high-pitched noise. All monitors still underground and alive will immediately freeze at the noise. The black ID cards will begin to flash a very blinding, red message:

TRUCE
ALL STAND DOWN
PEACEFUL EVICTION INITIATED: [TRANSLATED DATE: 20TH]
NO MORE HARM WILL COME TO YOU HERE

No matter where they are, monitors all standing completely still, hands up in surrender. Take a few more shots at them if you dare -- they won't defend themselves. Though your credits may be frozen and your identification marked, this is a war you've won. This war anyway. This war, here. ]

Comments

[splinten]

[Why is that so hot.

Dirk straightens up by Jake.]

Break past 'em and head to the item storage room?

[Fuck, there's nothing like going into battle with Jake. They work so perfectly together.]

[potentite]

[He flashes him a smile.]

I had the same thought. Let's go.

[splinten]

[It's the adrenaline high and the synchronicity. Dirk moves in, taking melee position, and he knows Jake will support him. Combat narrows everything down to a single point, and their movements act as one will split across two forms.

Dirk strikes forward, using the flat of the blade in deference to Jake's no-kill feelings. Jake's cover will give him a chance to knock back and down, cutting a space for them both to move through.]

[potentite]

[Jake moves with him, predicting his moves passively to support them, cover fire aimed with care to keep Dirk safe without killing their foes. He needs only to knock them back and between the two of them, an opening comes quick. Jake makes sure Dirk goes through it first. It's easier for Jake to provide back-up if he does but he follows on his heels.]

[splinten]

[When the way is cleared and Jake's caught up at him, he sends him a sideways glance.] Nice work, English.

[potentite]

[He grins and raises his hand. Give him a high five.] Excellent form as always, Strider.

[splinten]

[Hell yes he'll give a high five.] Can't believe we waited this long to wreck the government's shit. This is basically what we're best at.

[potentite]

Dunno if it would call it one of my strengths but I know it's in your blood!

[splinten]

Courtesy of Grandma English, it's in your blood too. That's OG Rebel Alliance there.

[potentite]

[He smiles before moving closer to him.] Are you hurt?

[splinten]

I'm solid for now. [Just a few scrapes, nothing serious. Not yet.] I'm hoping to get through this mostly uninjured in the interests of preventing Madoka from spending her heal of the day on me.

[potentite]

You had better keep it that way. [Jade is safe now but he won't be able to relax for a while, at least not about people he cares this much for.]

[splinten]

Hey. [He stops them in their walk, touching Jake's arm.] i know what you're thinking, Jake, and I'm not going anywhere.

[potentite]

[Jake stops, glancing down. There's an odd shame to it.]

Sorry. I'm being ridiculous.

[splinten]

Dude, no you're not. It isn't like you're the only person scared of losing people and feeling like you're a failure.

I've got you, though, so it's cool.

[potentite]

[He looks back up, smiling softly.]

Thanks. I just... I want you to be all right.

[splinten]

[He's tentative a moment. Then, he puts a hand on Jake's shoulder.] I know it sounds kind of lame, but protect me, English. I'll protect you right back.

[potentite]

[Jake hesitates before reaching up, putting his hand over Dirk's.]

You really... want that?

[splinten]

I do, yeah. [He bites down on his anxiety. He forces himself to ask,] Do you want it, uh, too?

[potentite]

Yes, I... [They already talked a bit about Jake's issues with heroism.] ...I just didn't expect you to say it that way. Um, because I dunno, maybe it would be lame to you.

[splinten]

[He opens his mouth and closes it.] Does it sound lame to you?

[potentite]

[He shakes his head.] It's not lame of you. I actually... think it's rather admirable, to be able to allow someone to protect you. It takes a kind of courage and intelligence and... trust.

[splinten]

I have my own doubts about my courage and intelligence, but... yeah. I can say for sure that I trust you.

[potentite]

Then I want to do my best to honour that trust.

[splinten]

[He holds his fist out. Bunp?]
