[Locked to New Hires]

[hallelujahjunction]

[Dan shows up on video, clearly on the muggy roof trying to get one of his contraband cigarettes in without ending up butterfly chow. It's put him in a good mood, adding the spice of daring-do to the morning smoke. He's got a sneaky grin on his face.

Better to actually get to work on doing something instead of wallowing in raw memories.]

Hypothetical question. [He glances over his shoulder and sees that none of the wildlife is about to attack him, then takes a drag.] If you could pick Planker's brain, what would you want to know?

every last goddamned one of his security codes

[hallelujahjunction]

Hate to remind you that I can't read none, Saturday.

[wheyoftheadept]

comm takes pictures i think just snap a photo

[private to Dan]

[wheyoftheadept]

should i ask what the plan is in public or are we coasting on plausible deniability here

[hallelujahjunction]

The plan might not involve me having a communicator or, ah, clothes.

[wheyoftheadept]

taking one for the team (︶︹︺)

anything information on the upper decks and security protocols you can pick up is good. a key or keycard would be ideal.

[hallelujahjunction]

You don't know that. I may have fun.

You're lucky I got sticky fingers.

[wheyoftheadept]

i have faith in you.

[hallelujahjunction]

You really might shouldn't.

[wheyoftheadept]

too late. :p

I have an idea, but I'm going to need some back-up.

Remember that weird magic key I have?

[she doesn't right away. then she does.]

you just reminded me. you think you can talk dan on board? cause ive had a plan all ready to go for trying to get upstairs, just needed an opening.

I'll see what I can do. I might need to recruit Bunny into talking him around, Dan's a really nice guy and I'm not sure how he'd react to "let's just riffle through his brain".

Re: [private to Saturday and Stacia]

[wheyoftheadept]

might mentioned how planker is definitely going to kill or critically wound one of us who doesn't have enhancements because hes fucking obsessed with breaking the least breakable ones

like my professional assessment as a teacher of the fighting arts is this man does not care if his students die and would actively enjoy it if they did.

Re: [private to Saturday and Stacia]

[credit_not_blame]

An excellent point. Plus it's not like the key is any more invasive than setting a psychic on him, which he seems okay with.

Planker is such an asshole, holy shit.

Re: [private to Saturday and Stacia]

[wheyoftheadept]

if i could act freely, he would already be dead or wishing he was

Re: [private to Saturday and Stacia]

[credit_not_blame]

ngl, I'm tempted to see if we can take him out after I dig through his head. Either kill him or try to cross some important wires so it looks like he had a stroke or something.

Re: [private to Saturday and Stacia]

[wheyoftheadept]

im not gonna stop you. hes a threat

Re: [private to Saturday and Stacia]

[credit_not_blame]

Dan would make Sad Faces at us if we straight up killed him, and I hate that. It's not enough to entirely stop me, mind, but maybe we can arrange for him to "trip" down a flight of stairs in case crossing wires doesn't work.

Re: [private to Saturday and Stacia]

[wheyoftheadept]

also pushing people past their moral sensibilities is bad for group cohesion. if we go that route, it should look accidental

Re: [private to Saturday and Stacia]

[credit_not_blame]

That is an excellent point and I'm stealing it for future arguments.

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of skill at making deaths look accidental.

...Hmm.

Re: [private to Saturday and Stacia]

[wheyoftheadept]

as long as i get security codes, im a happy camper. we should time them close, tho - the codes wont be good after they discover whatever's left of him.

Re: [private to Saturday and Stacia]

[credit_not_blame]

I can definitely get you security codes. And if there's a big enough distraction, no one's going to go looking for him until after it's all over anyway.

Re: [private to Saturday and Stacia]

[wheyoftheadept]

oh its gonna be a real big one. give everyone a chance to blow off some steam and all.

Re: [private to Saturday and Stacia]

[credit_not_blame]

Key plan is a 'go', though he's still pretty set on people not taking revenge on Planker or whatever.

That said, I think I know someone who has the skills to make it look like an accident. I'll reach out and get back to you.
