@8-bit, I'm not sure we need a humongo post recapping every detail from the OOC thread. ICly you could give it a cool name, like "Plan Oak" or "Octopus Formation" and say that you send send an ARO with the details. (The ARO can have a link back to the OOC plan if you're getting crafty). But up to you, and up to rednblack about how much detail he wants to see in the IC thread.
Stake can borrow Achak's Ares Alpha (hereafter
AAA). I suppose another option would be to use Armorer to remove the suppressor and attach it to Stake's Alpha, although my Armorer pool is a bit sad and there would probably be negative modifiers from Elijah's driving. So just take Achak's.
@Poindexter, I was thinking Force 2 spirits could handle most of the astral scouting, although your summoning pool seems good enough to summon Force 3 or 4 consistently. (Binding the buggers is harder, but summoning should go okay.) Were you concerned about drain?
Elijah can tell you that most of the comms at around 4:30 this afternoon were in a Japanese/English pidgin.
Well that changes things.
I have a theory but I'm going to run it past rednblack first.
Here's my Area Knowledge roll to see if Achak could piece the clues together ICly:
Intuition 6 + Area Knowledge Seattle 2:
8d6t5 5 hits, yay!
If I'm onto something I will post it ICly, since it will warrant discussion.
