The #FreeErik Manual

[Hollywood Heidi]

I wanted to put our step-by-step process in its own thread so we don't need to keep sorting through Plots.


1. Jean telekentically inputs code to shut off mutant detectors from outside door then uses cleaning crew key to open front 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 cleaning crew code into keypad that shuts down alarms to doors and areas for an allotted amount of time (not sure if we decided on an exact time but I think things will go south before the time is up anyway).

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 during planning back at the mansion.

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. A newly added third security guard returns from smoke break to find the other two guards knocked out and hits a security breach button, bringing down thick plastic blast-type walls in the basement that Jean can hold up and which also deactivates elevator.

10. During the chaos, Maeve will quickly plead Peter to rush a mystery guest out of the building to safety back her car at the diner once the elevator reaches main floor. Maeve will pop out from basement to office to give Moira a quick heads-up.

11. After everyone gets into elevator, Jean collapses from the strain. Magneto lifts the deactivated elevator and gets them back to the main floor.

12. Erik can move the elevator pretty damn fast then Peter will be at the office in seconds with enough time for Moira to have gotten the heads-up and to have grabbed what she can.



Any other thoughts, ideas, changes, additions, please feel free to reply and let us know!

Much better than 12 percent of a plan.  

Do we need Moira to trigger an alarm if the extra security guard is what initiates the surprise lockdown? Just asking so I'll know what to do or not to do with Agent Tag. 

[Hollywood Heidi]

Yah, it’s like, 80% of one. Take that, Quill! 😜

I do like the idea of Moira accidentally triggering an alarm that sends the third guy rushing back! I’m thinking newly installed sensor on painting that goes off if painting is pulled back from wall without first disarming with like a certain area or button to push. How it deactivates doesn’t matter since we’d not know about it but just for background info.

So we need to figure how the alarm would alert the guard outside. Maybe the guards have to wear a little device when on duty that beeps or buzzes when an alarm is triggered? Or an earpiece that does that? Does that sound like too fancy tech for those days? Maybe a red bulb outside on the wall of the smoke/break area that silently flashes to alert someone out there that guards inside may be compromised?

Ah, okay, that makes sense. I think they probably had earpieces back then, but it could also be a pager or some sort of monitor on a wall that announces the security breach in the office. The third guard could ask the other two on a walkie if they're seeing anything and when he gets no response, that's when he returns and finds the guards out cold. So hard to find good help those days....
