Hollywood Heidi DarkSideCookie Kristi Lynne Ariel Smare The Jester Of TortugaI'm not sure if we already talk about which Stones Thanos already possessed. What about the power stone? (the orb)It was in the hands of the NOVA corps. In Infinity War Thanos already got it and probably destroyed the corps. And the reality stone? (the aether)The mad titan also called it his own during Infinity War. He might defeat the Collector and took it from his collection.

Oh, he most definitely destroyed the Nova Corps planet. Same with Knowhere. At least in the movies. I think we can decide which he already has. Could be same as movie and they haven't learned about it yet. In the movies, they didn't know he had them and what he did to those two places until they were facing him and saw he had them. Could be the same situation. If there's nobody left alive, there's nobody to inform anyone of what had happened. Not unless someone stumbles across the rubble and tells people, but even then, it might take a long time, if ever, for that information to trickle to Earth. It might not be as important for them to know that until they're closer to facing him. I think now, we need to figure out plans to break out the people at the Raft. Oh, but first, they need to be informed of Fury being taken in. I think Fury's signal that things went south should hit FRIDAY soon. If someone feels comfortable incorporating that into their post, please go for it! If not, no problem. I'll do it in my next Hope post. This'll get rid of all the NPC's at the Facility. We need to work out how they're gonna go about getting them out. I think at some point, Simmons was gonna reach out to Hope and maybe we were gonna use that as a means in, but we don't have a Simmons and should figure out something else that doesn't incorporate any more NPC's. The Raft is really hard to get to. Cap did find a device that can locate it, but many times, the Raft remains submerged, making it even harder to find and get to. So I think it'd be easier if the Raft is expecting at least Hope. Maybe she reports in that she's captured someone of interest. Like Loki. That could prompt them to have a chopper or jet sent to pick her and Loki up. I picture the Raft would rather send a ride to bring you in than to give you coordinates. Thinking that Hope is just there temporarily to deliver Loki and give a report of what went on, the Raft would stay on the service so that they can fly her back out again when she's done. The rest of the crew at the Facility could use that device to follow a bit after with their own means of transportation, somehow signaling Hope when they've arrived so that Hope and Loki could get the rest out. Now if anyone else wants their character to be "brought in" so that they're also on the Raft helping break people out, that's totally fine, just let us know! But at least either Rocket or Peter have to be aboard the getaway jet as they're the only other two who know how to fly. Whoever's on the getaway jet could also end up heading in to help after landing and/or dealing with the Raft crew coming at the unauthorized jet landing. What's everyone else's thoughts and ideas?

I think it's good to push forward with the breaking-the-Raft-people-out plot, since, lately, I felt like we're a little stuck at the Raft. I'm not exactly sure where we're heading as for the Tony/Gamora scene for example.
As for the other team, I'd rather leave the plan to you guys. I'm only temp playing Drax there and really feel like he could be skipped even most of the time, lol. I hope that's okay to say. I'm really not good at all this planning, especially with so many characters involved. Sorry..

I love the idea that Loki and Hope should have to work together to trick the guards at the Raft. ^^ Feels a bit like doing Mischief together. *gg* (unless they had to play "Get help"... xD )
And I agree that it's about time to free the prisoners because there's nothing important left to say at the moment for them.

Yeah, this is a tough one with a lot of moving parts. So which NPC's would be leaving in response to Fury's message? Just trying to get a picture in my head of what we're working with. And if you want me to make Jemma active again, at least long enough to help with their escape, I'm certainly happy to do that. Like you said, Quill should probably be at the helm of whatever getaway ship they use, and Rocket (and I guess Groot) should be on the Raft given his mad skills at breaking out of prisons. I still think we could make use of Wes' idea to have our people disguised as SHIELD guards bringing in a prisoner (or prisoners). A detainee as high-profile as Loki would likely be taken straight to the maximum-security level. And we could still make use of the Pym Tech to shrink anyone or anything else they need to smuggle in.

Just wondering if we can still use that Quinjet that Steve & Co. brought back to Avengers HQ. Yes, it would still come up as stolen when the Raft scans it, but Hope (or whoever is making the approach) could explain that they found it being used by the fugitives and are bringing it back to SHIELD.

You know, that could actually be a great idea on how and why Hope says she “found” the fugitives! A notice could have gone out about it which she’d have received due to her Avengers connection. She could have claimed to have located it and apprehended the fugitives. Since she’s “already with the quintet” she could be instructed to deliver them and the quinjet.
When the NPC characters take off to rescue Fury, they could take another mode of transportation that hasn’t been flagged as stolen or missing.

Out of this conversation: You can skip Drax in the current scene at the Avengers Facility for the time being. Will edit the whose turn tag.

But I will write a Loki post this week to push the scene forward. ^^

Lol, well damn, I'm still confused about who is and isn't at the Avengers Facility!! We're saying that Nat, Scott, and Sam are in the Living Area, but why isn't Cap there?
If it's alright with everyone, I'm gonna say that Cap is at the compound still, just hadn't gotten to the Living Area with everyone else to eat. I think what I'll do is have the alarm go off with FRIDAY announcing that Fury has hit his silence warning signal that tells them that his mission did not go well and that he's been taken in.
When the alarm sounds through the compound, Cap could come rushing in, knowing that's where most everyone already is. He and the other NPC's can take off to rescue Fury and the character left over with players can start planning the Raft heist.
Lemme know if that's a problem or if I misremembered anything. I really like Kristi's idea to use the quinjet and I think I'll incorporate the idea into the plan that I mentioned of Hope reaching out to officials to tell them that she located the quinjet and captured the persons of interest. To make the Loki part of it believable, I think we can say that Thor left a pair of those Asgardian cuffs with the Avengers to use in case of them running into someone like Loki who earthly handcuffs won't work on.

So here's our 12 percent of a plan.... Hope will turn over fugitive Loki to SHIELD. She'll approach the Raft in the stolen Quinjet that Cap & Company left at Avengers HQ. Yes, Hope is a wanted fugitive as well, but I'm assuming Loki is a lot higher on the wanted list. Rocket, Drax, and Groot are clearly and visibly not human so I guess they could be shrunk and smuggled in. How did they apprehend Loki? Perhaps all the hubbub in New Asgard was meant as a distraction from what Loki was really doing on Earth which is... I dunno, but Quill could pose as an agent of Nova Corps who helped Hope to bring him in. How did they know where the Raft was? Loki could claim to have taken over Fury's mind again to find its location in search of his missing brother, Thor. Hope and the team somehow get the green light to board the Raft once it surfaces and then we can go from there.

Post by Hollywood Heidi on Jan 1, 2022 13:29:22 GMT -8
Loving the idea so far, Kristi! Here's a couple notes/ideas: Just as a side note, Hope isn't a wanted fugitive in our RPG. This was all started before Ant-Man and the Wasp so I ended up making my own guess/decision on what would have happened. The government tried to take advantage of the situation to try to gain control over Pym Tech and Pym Particles, but Hank and Hope worked out another deal. She's doing a sort of "community service" by "lending" Pym related tech and Particles via herself always being on-call to the Avengers with her assistance as Wasp. So we don't have to worry about her calling in a fugitive she caught. They don't know that she and the ones she smuggled out of New Asgard were even there, so everyone on Team Hope is in the clear. Perfect for Loki to be the one taken in. We've been talking about that. I was thinking that maybe Thor left them an extra set of those special Asgardian handcuffs that would be able to hold Loki. It'll help make it more believable as I don't think Earth cuffs would be much use against Asgardians. Perfect also for her to use the stolen quinjet! Already tagged so it's useless unless used for something like this. But I'm sure they're gonna wonder how she got a hold of that though. Perhaps we can say that Cap and his team showed up at the Avengers Facility and delivered Loki as a sort of peace offering and also because he has the most knowledge on this Thanos coming for Earth. Tony wasn't there to deal with it, so we can say that Hope did in his stead. Maybe say that she got an alert that the stolen quinjet was in the vicinity and heading for the facility, she tried to contact Tony but got no answer from him, a call to the facility and nobody seemed to know where he or the other Avengers were, explaining why Hope happened to show up at the facility to deal with it herself. If she calls it in, they'd give her the coordinates and instructions to bring Loki there. They'd know that it was most likely they'd want Loki delivered to the Raft but they had the coordinates from Cap's gadget just in case if they didn't or in case anything went wrong. I like the idea of Quill pretending to be from the Nova Corps! Maybe we can say that he's the one that had delivered Loki to Earth and to Team Cap because of the information Loki had had, using info that Thanos had already attacked their planet. We didn't say if they know this or not in our RPG. I know in the movies, they don't find out until way later that that planet had been destroyed. Maybe during their planning, Peter has the idea of contacting the Nova Corps for their added assistance and/or to warn them that Thanos is after the stones (one of which they have on their planet) and they find out that it's too late; Thanos already got that one. So they spin a story off that, pretending Peter headed out with Loki to Earth with the knowledge that Thanos was coming there next. We could totally shrink down and smuggle in any characters who want to be brought in that way. It'd be fun! But we wouldn't have to necessarily, if there are some who don't want to be or would work better in the story to not be. Earth already knows about aliens and if Peter is supposedly from another planet, could be he brought other non-humanoid being with him. Thoughts?

Okay, I got a Hope post up barely in time. So sorry, my day fell apart when my parents invited themselves over. My dad just headed out a little bit ago. I didn't have time to read through my Hope post so I hope it's alright. I'll try to do that tomorrow. I just wanted to get it posted so we could keep the ball rolling and so that I'd get my one minimum in.
I know Fitz and Simmons didn't mention anything about blocking surveillance but I'm playing it off as something they didn't bother mentioning for said cameras and also because it was obvious they were talking on the DL. I'd think that people working on the Raft and most people there would automatically assume the place has surveillance everywhere.
Let me know if there are any problems with it. I'm trying to bring in some of the stuff we chatted about a above.

Sorry, sadly I don't feel able to write another post at the moment. Although it's Thor's turn now. But since they all have nothing more to do than wait for the others at the moment I hope it would be okay if it'll take me some days to get up again and write something.

I think we're at a good stopping point for the Raft. I just read over the last few posts and I can't picture a Mantis post coming after that either. Those last two posts are actually a nice bookend for the scene.
I guess we can pause that scene until Team Hope shows up. That being said, I'm going to remove the Whose Turn request that's sitting at the top.

I'm removing the "Rocket to everyone" Whose turn as they all left the room. If the Guardians wanna play out the contacting of Xandar, I'd personally find that interesting to read! Did Thanos already get to them? I think that's something we get to decide as I believe it was something that happened after Ragnarok.

Hollywood Heidi Kristi Lynne DarkSideCookie ArielYes, that could become a nice scene. ^^ And I think you're right - if I remember right, too, Thanos took the Stone after Ragnarök. I've to admit that I'm not sure if he destroyed Xandar or just decimate the population. But I found something on a Wiki-MCU-Site:

Post by Hollywood Heidi on Jan 17, 2022 7:51:34 GMT -8
Yah, he basically took out their planet. I remember him mentioning it to the Guardians when they go to face him on Knowhere in Infinity War. Very sad!
But our RPG takes place just at the end of Ragnarok, so we can decide of if it's happened yet, or maybe they're in the middle of fighting off Thanos' army when the Guardians reach out? The team could be talking to them as they're taken out. Thanos could have stopped there on his way to Earth. Or maybe just his "children" handle that without him. But he seemed to want to be hands-on after that stinger where he says "Fine, I'll do it myself."
Or Peter and the gang could end up having no luck getting a reach of them like their communication is already down cuz Thanos was already there.
What's everyone else's thoughts?

I just wrote an open-ended post of Peter trying to reach out to Xandar, until we decide the fate of the planet. I can't think who would be there to answer the call if half the population is gone. I imagine most of their communication and infrastructure would have been wiped out as well in a battle with Thanos' forces.

Does someone know if the planet Xandar still exists? Because I've a little idea: (no big deal just something to get the chance to write a Thanos-post and maybe to reactivate my OC Kyrin) Thanos might have left a person he trusted on Xandar to act like the titan's conduit. So when Quill tried to call Xandar this conduit noticed it and will report that to Thanos so that he gets a clue that his enemies actually are staying on Earth. Then Thanos could send Kyrin to look for the Guardians and spy them out. (or trying to fight asgainst them ^^) Hollywood Heidi Kristi Lynne DarkSideCookie Ariel

Anduin, sorry, I read your message at work and, of course, completely forgot about getting back to you on it. Yes, looks like Xandar is probably gone at this point. Peter couldn't get a hold of them. I think for the sake of making things easier by not having to temp a bunch of people from another planet that would be too difficult to use if they decide to "assist" Earth, we should say that Thanos already got to them. Though we probably won't be able to see or hear evidence of it to know for sure.
Alrighty, Drax skip noted. I'll work on a Hope post.

Sure, I can start off that scene with Sophie. Maybe the phone call took place offscreen and she's awaiting Nebula's arrival. I would assume Nebula would wait till afterhours to avoid anyone seeing her come in.

FYI, I just realized I used the incorrect title of 'General' for Ross when he's now 'Secretary'. I went through and fixed it in the whole thread. Some questions to help us wrap up this scene. I'm hoping we can soon end it and do a time jump to them getting ready to take off. No need to play out every detail. I could have Hope help Peter and his team fix up the Milano if we need to have her shrink it down and take it with them, maybe to escape the Raft in? If we think that it'd be too difficult for them to take off in the stolen jet again, say if it's tagged and tracked since it's SHIELD property or locked down or whatever. What do you guys think? Also, what about Peter and the rest that will be stowed away on the jet that can't be seen as being there? Should we say that during the time jump, they'd traveled to where Hank had moved his building to have Pym suits made for them? I'm sure that Hank and Hope have some suits at the ready that Peter and maybe Drax would have fit in, so they'd only have to make one for Rocket. I don't think it takes them that long as it doesn't feel like a ton of time went by in Endgame when they had to make everyone Pym suits for the time heist. We could also leave Groot behind in the Pym building for Hank to watch over so that we don't have to worry about an NPC and also, I don't think they'd want to bring a teenager on a sketchy mission? Or do we want Peter, Drax, and Rocket to be there as additional representatives there to back up the Thanos claim with the very big potential of knowing they'd be taken in since they are uninvited guests to Earth? I know we chatted about their capacity before, but wanted to see if we have any changes in ideas or thoughts. Anduin DarkSideCookie Kristi Lynne

Is it necessary for everyone to have Pym suits? Or can they be in a vehicle that is then shrunken? I can't remember how that works.
We could still say that Peter is a representative from Nova Corps who aided in the apprehension of Loki, or that he brought him to Earth in the aftermath of Thanos destroying Xandar. Because if they were to scan Peter, they'll see he's not totally human. I can picture it like Jayne in "Ariel," memorizing this very detailed background story to tell the officials, and then they just say, "Yeah, whatever, hand over the Trickster."

Nah, it's not necessary. Just an idea I was throwing out there. They could totally be shrunken down in a vehicle or something that's set up with Pym particles. I think if they fix up the Milano, Hope can even set that up with Pym tech. Rocket, Drax, and Groot can wait in a shrunken Milano in Peter's pocket.
I love the idea of Peter pretending to be a Nova Crops rep with that whole Jayne vibe, lol!
