Totally down for that! Little time jumps are always good to bring a plot forward! Also, I'm totally fine with Logan's role in that plan. Who shall be the one to talk to Erik first btw? I pictured it could be funny if it would be his son again.

All sounds good to me. Also if there's a time when someone needs to not see them, Jean can help with that. And I also can see Peter being the first to make contact with the prisoner. Just so I can picture it in my mind, is there an entrance to the elevator (like a lobby) that goes to the secure levels downstairs, and stepping into that is what would trigger the mutant detectors? Sorry, it's been a while since those scenes with Victor.

These ideas sound great! I like Kristi's idea in having Peter to be first contact with the prisoner, yet again but this time with different feelings Should we wait for Hope and Ororo to respond to the current scene, then close it? Or should I go back and modify the post in a way to end the scene and jump us to Ororo's room?

The mutant detectors are everywhere, starting right at the front door (one mutant step in the front door and it'll go off). I remember saying that they're all around the building, as common as motion detectors in an office building. Victor had to wear a specially designed bracelet that allowed him to move around in the building. The secret basement levels don't have the mutant detectors since that's where they'd be locking up/experimenting on mutants and it'd be a pain to keep messing with turning the alarms on and off when/if they move the mutants around. The mutant detectors above basement level are always on, 24/7. Extremely rare for them to be turned off. I haven't had Maeve indicate that there are any other mutants she'd found in the basement levels. Definitely the floor Erik is on, he's the only mutant on that floor. I don't think I indicated if Maeve has finished exploring the other levels but in my mind, Trask Ind. prefers to keep mutants at remote bases. Erik was a special case because he was the leader of the Brotherhood and they were trying to get him to divulge where more mutants were hiding. As far as the elevator that goes to the basement levels, I believe I said in past posts that there's a secret panel inside the elevator that opens with a high-level keycard, revealing buttons for basement levels. Only the higher-ups and cleared personnel who work there know the basement levels exist. I can't remember if I'd indicated that it was a special elevator designated for the higher-ups or if I'd indicated there was more than one elevator at all. I'll go back and skim the Trask Ind posts.

Alrighty, I ended the scene with Peter/Hope/Ororo outside. Lady Lee-o The Jester Of Tortuga did we want to end the tour at the dorms, leading Ororo to her room? In that case, we will need to put a request for the location but was wondering if there was a specific way you would like Ororo's dorm room to look Lady Lee-o ?

I'll create a location thread for Ororo's dorm. I've been using the same pic for everyone's dorm because back when I was searching for pics that could look like a room in the mansion, it was the only one I could find! I can always switch it out later. Just IM or PM me the pic you want or use the Request to Join. Alrighty, I'll work on a time jump. I can't believe how long it took to figure out the flight time from the school to McLean, VA! Took lots of interwebs searching. Info for future, it's 414.35 miles, plane speed search said 550 mi/hr so I came up with 45 minutes based off mileage, not from a specific airport to airport since they'll be taking the jet. I'll do a couple-hour time jump; say another hour of planning and filling in Peter, then an hour prepping and travel. I'll start Maeve off meeting with Moira, uniforms and whatever else she was tasked with gathered and waiting. Update: Time jump done! I'm going to delete all the X-Men Whose Turn requests.

Perfect! I'll do one last scene with Ororo and Hope at Ororo's dorm while the final preparations are being finalized before Peter meets up with everyone at the van.

Regarding another post at the mansion, I believe I did the time jump post in all the locations so the crew would be in-flight, nearly arriving. As far as the scene where they all land and meet up (the van and supplies), I thought we could just do that in the jet location. Maybe just start with them landing and getting into the van. Then jump to Trask location. No need to create a location that's just some random meet-up point. Everyone okay with that? I don't remember if I already created a location thread for the jet. I'll take a look and create it if I haven't.

Sounds good, Ariel! I created the X-Jet thread earlier today. Yup, I think our Moira/Maeve scene is almost done! I'll have Maeve pop over to the Jet thread right after.

Cool! We'll wait to hear from the Speedster then, but I can't imagine there will be an extensive conversation on the jet. Did we establish that Hank is flying (but not participating in the breakout) and Charles is there to be their guide?

Yup! Beast kinda stands out so he'll stay on the jet, at the ready to take off. Never know if things end up going sideways and they have to fly off fast.
Charles will stay on the jet with the real Maeve and she'll send Sim out with them.

I think also that we don't need a lot of convo in the jet but at least everyone should get a chance to post before we go on. So excited for getting closer to mission #FreeErik!!!

Lmao at Logan’s reaction!!
As far as his exit, I think we can do the scenes in and right outside the jet just in the jet thread. They need to do a little set up with Maeve and Charles then they can all exit to Trask. I’ll take care of all that when Charles and/or Maeve are up next. Sound good?

As far as the mutant detectors, those don't get turned off with the regular alarm used by the cleaning staff. Those are always on and go off the moment a mutant steps foot into the door. So I was thinking Jean could use her telepathy from the outside to push the code in that will turn off the mutant detectors as well? I'm thinking that Maeve sneaked a peek of Stryker's code as he typed it in the past. Peter can do his quick footed sweep of the floor and disconnect the camera cables. Logan can be waiting for the security guards to emerge from their room of security screens to see what's up and/or can sniff out the location of security guards (I'm thinking there aren't very many cuz I'm thinking Trask Industries is overconfident in their fancy security tech). Maeve will have Sim there in her invisible form, following along and giving them directions and what codes to type or panels to open where. She'll also be popping out for a sec to give Moira the all clear. Kristi Lynne Ariel DarkSideCookie Lady Lee-o Hey all! Putting together the order of tasks for #FreeWrik! 1. Jean telekentically inputs code to shut off mutant detectors from outside door. 2. Peter speeds his way around disconnecting all the cameras while the rest of the team walks in naturally like the actual cleaning crew to input the general alarm code. 3. The two security guards will be leaving their little security monitor room to see what’s up with the screens going dark and Logan will make them to sleepy night-night. 4. Take elevator to basement levels. Someone from the group will have Stryker’s keycard, given to them by Maeve. 5. Maeve will pop out to give Moira the go. 6. Peter can be the one to zoom ahead to first talk to Erik as Ariel wanted. 😊 The rest will arrive at their snail pace. 7. I’m not sure about opening the plastic cage. Maybe another keycard or code? Perhaps they can have trouble here, maybe Stryker’s code not working for some reason for opening cage. Maybe Logan stabs his claws into the control panel or uses his claws to cut the door down? After that or anything else between, please let me know your ideas! We can have everything go smoothly or maybe some silent alarm recently set up by the new boss that not even Maeve knew about is set off and trouble arrives just as they’re exiting? Or things can go smoothly. Things are gonna go to shit later on anyway lol!

Post by Kristi Lynne on Apr 2, 2019 1:38:06 GMT -8
Thought I had replied to this last night, but I guess I didn't. Must have been more tired than I thought. Anyway....
Jean can also help with making the guards go sleepy night-night. And it could be Moira that unwittingly trips an alarm, setting a lockdown into motion. I had an idea that Jean could try to keep the elevator door from shutting and trapping them in the basement, then Erik uses his powers to actually lift the carriage out of there.
Sorry, had we not talked about the basement levels being shielded from telepaths? Not sure where I got that from. I just figured they had used something similar to the helmet Magneto wears, not so much to keep people from getting in but to keep any telepathic prisoners from getting out (so to speak).

Post by Hollywood Heidi on Apr 2, 2019 6:47:22 GMT -8
I LOVE those ideas! And totally no worries about the shielding telepaths. I really loved that revelation and it totally opened up the situation to more potential problems that Maeve couldn’t have known about. She hadn’t learned to physically move or take things when invisible so all she had was the memory of the map she saw of the basement levels. Nothing about security details like the telepathy shield, which they could have recently installed thanks to having Erik’s helmet. I like that there’s a negative side to her not registering as mutant. She has no idea what other trips there might be.
Loving the idea that it’s Moira that trips a silent alarm. Actually makes a ton of sense. Could be that though Sommerhaulder has been busy with other stuff, he did take the time to immediately have his own office security heightened, avoiding anyone, even Maeve, knowing about it. So things may have gone just fine if Maeve hadn’t tried to double dip with a side mission that was actually the part that would benefit her goal of finding her sister.
This is coming together way more awesome than I could have anticipated!

Updated with more kick ass ideas from Kristi and Ilona’s idea to have Erik be able to pitch in!
1. Jean telekentically inputs code to shut off mutant detectors from outside door.
2. Peter speeds his way around disconnecting all the cameras while the rest of the team walks in naturally like the actual cleaning crew to input the general alarm code.
3. The two security guards will be leaving their little security monitor room to see what’s up with the screens going dark and Logan or Jean will make them go sleepy night-night.
4. Take elevator to basement levels. Someone from the group will have Stryker’s keycard, given to them by Maeve.
5. Maeve will pop out to give Moira the go.
6. Peter can be the one to zoom ahead to first talk to Erik as Ariel wanted. 😊 The rest will arrive at their snail pace.
7. I’m not sure about opening the plastic cage. Maybe another keycard or code? Perhaps they can have trouble here, maybe Stryker’s code not working for some reason for opening cage. Maybe Logan stabs his claws into the control panel or uses his claws to cut the door down?
8. Moira will unknowingly trip a new alarm Maeve didn’t even know about when pulling back the portrait. This will happen after some other searching so it’ll be well enough into getting Erik out.
9. Something sets off a failsafe in basement (not sure if this will be related to what Moira sets off since totally different location), bringing down thick plastic blast-type walls that Jean can hold up and which also deactivates elevator, which Magneto can lift them all in after going under blast door Jean is holding up.
Regarding #9, I don’t think Moira pulling back the portrait would trigger stuff in the basements. So either Roderick remotely activated a lockdown (if that’s possible in that day and age) or one of the guards woke up and initiated a lockdown. Either that or Roderick or more of his goons showed up to find guards knocked out and that new person initiates lockdown.
This newest lockdown could cause trouble for Moira getting out. Maybe at this point, Maeve has to break down about keeping the missions separate and asks Peter to speed Moira out to safety?

I would love it if Moira had to be saved by Peter! Her poor brain will be overloaded after all this.
Maybe we should go with something as simple as a third guard who was elsewhere (on a smoke break, bathroom break, walking his rounds, whatever) comes back to see his co-workers unconscious and sets off the alarm.

Hey all! Chatted with Kristi regarding Jean’s sudden burst of power so everyone can react to it the same way. When she shouted “Stop!” it will have felt to everyone in the building as if someone shouted right into their brain causing a sudden brief, sharp pain. 😊 No long term effects, just a couple seconds. Let us know if you have any questions/concerns/comments! Ariel DarkSideCookie Kristi Lynne

I have some other owes before I get to that, so if anyone wants to do some posts in the X-Jet, go for it! If you had had something else in mind and wanted the jet scene prolonged, let me know!

Moderatory plot update!We finally finished #FreeErik! Yay us! Now let's discuss what happens next. Looks like the Jet has returned to the mansion and the group will be splitting up into separate storylines; Jean to show Logan to a room, Peter to check up on Hope, and Charles and Erik to Cerebro to find Maeve. I think we're ready to have everyone exiting the Jet scene and moving on to their own locations. Oh, I believe we'll need a new location for Logan's room. We'll work on that. If you have any characters in the RPG that you haven't used in awhile, please either get them going on a plot or let me know if you'd like me to inactivate them. Make use of the plots thread here! We don't have a Timeline thread for X-Men yet! I just created it, pinned to the top of the Locations thread. Please feel free to reply to it with anything you want added for your character, especially if it's past events that's mostly talked about in your bio. Try to keep it short and to the point! Check out the MCU Timeline thread for an example. I'm going to be going off the existing location threads one by one to add information. If anyone has any suggestions or problems with any of the above, please let us know!! Ariel DarkSideCookie The Jester Of Tortuga Kristi Lynne Lady Lee-o
