To an ordinary cat, this was an overwhelming outpouring of information. He would have to take this one one at a time, compartmentalizing individual abilities and grouping them into the best sets he could. Although it was good that more came, yes . . . His mind's gears quickly began spinning, hardly flinching as one of the new cats dropped from a tree unannounced.
“They indeed will not be so dense this time around,” the black cat agreed, nodding to the newcomers. “They must be full aware of the break-ins by now. I would not be surprised if they have been carefully monitering any one of you when you visited.” Curse it, that might complicate things if the humans were already prepared. His eyes narrowed for a moment in deep thought in how best to proceed. “They will know we are coming either way. Purely sneaking will only delay our movements and allow them time to pidgeonhole us. The best we can do is to move as quickly as possible while triggering as few alarms as we can. The operation cannot be time-compromised while cats are still in cages.”
He tapped his chin, surveying the group another time as he mused. So some of them had also had experience with the Facility? Another factor to consider. “Taking out the lights would be something to consider,” he commented when Asmodeus brought it up. “Humans do not see as well as us in the dark. Now, this is the plan laid out:
“My ally has gathered his own group on the opposite end of the Facility and more than likely has already begun infiltration of the basement via one of its windows. The lawns before us are bare because the dogs are sympathetic to our cause: we alerted them earlier of our presence and they have the guards distracted for now, but this will not last long. We will enter through the front door and first ensure that the other half can enter unnoticed. Security cameras are placed adjacent between the wall and ceilings. Since the Facility is large, Tempo and I split it between our two lots: we take the northern section’s captives. For those of you who have not been inside, it can be maze-like; stay close. Do not under any circumstances engage with enemies once the cats are starting to get freed: do what you must to get them out of the way, but remember that freeing out kin is priority.
“One or two cats should stay behind to facilitate the escapees as they leave and defend them should the outside guards come back before we are ready. Asmodeus, I can leave the lights to you once we’re inside. Someone will need to take out the security cameras through the . . . red cord.” He had to pause and remember. “The rest will move forward to the cats’ rooms. Once it’s evident that the process is going smoothly, I will leave to prepare for the final portion of the plan.” The tom indicated an over-the-shoulder bag left on the ground beside him which, at a tiny nudge form his foot, produced the sound of bottles clinking together. “At which point my general, the red-haired woman next to me, will assume command. My intention will be to locate a suitable place to plant a bomb or two, ending any further experimentation.
“Siam, you mentioned crows at our meeting. Will they aid us now? They can double as an extra distraction for the humans as well as be messengers. Otherwise, I am open to questions and suggestions if they are quick.” Most of the plan would involve wiggle-room and improvisation, but such was the case when dealing with a motley crew.

"Of course, just leave those birds to me," she replied with a smile. She flipped open the cell and moved away from the group for a moment for her call.
"That sounds all well and good," Amaranth surmised as she awaited Siam's answer. She was sure the crows would say yes.
Click. Siam trotted back over to the group. "They'll be here in just a few minutes," she announced. "Sorry if you all aren't used to working with birds. I've instructed them to do as you tell them. And don't worry, I'll handle they're 'wants' in exchange for the help."
Moments later a 'caw' could be heard. They were close by. Swooping in, a group of winged beings with large black wings, suited in black trench coats and sun glasses landed near the group of cats. One stepped forward. "Hey, so I hear you need a little distraction eh? Just leave is to us," he said with a bow. "We like pestering the humans. I'm sure we can have a little fun with them." He adjusted his shades, and scanned the cats in front of him. "Just remember, no funny business. Ya try and eat one of us, and we're outta' here."
((The crows are in the manga. They can be persuaded to work for a price. Feel free to rp a crow if you would like! xD <3))

Lila nodded slightly as Red Eye's outlined his plan - it sounded decent enough to her - and flexible enough that it could be changed if circumstances required. Well laid out plans were all well and good - but one had to be somewhat adaptable in order to be successful. It was a rare day when things went entirely to plan, a good day...but a rare one. "It will be imperative that we get everyone out quickly once he leaves us for the plans final steps - it would be unwise to loiter for any reason, we must be quick and efficient...there will undoubtedly be wounded and they must be taken to healers. To that end we have set up a safe house where all can make sure no one is left behind and the wounded can be cared for"
Lila did not elaborate on the safe houses location at that moment - she'd leave that to Red Eyes to reveal at the right time and to the right people. Working with birds was a bit different, but Lila was a fierce believer of working towards a common enemy and humans kept just as many birds locked up as 'pets' as they did felines. Perhaps not crows..but birds none the less and she was willing to take their help. "And...if you cause the crows to leave us high and dry..it would probably be best to just stay in the building when it blows" She added with crossed arms and a serious look.

Airi blinked in surprise when she saw Ikuto drop from a nearby tree and moved easily to stand beside him, giving a genuine albeit small smile to him before tensing to listen to the plan. If she had indeed been watched during her forays into and out of the facility she was already in a heap of danger. Who cared? Lights out she'd be able to bite enough ankles and scratch at them enough to squirm free. She knew she was small enough in build to be more than a handful to the dumb humans on the inside. She was a bit lost though for now, whether they were going to seize an open frontal charge or just try to slink in from different areas. Well, when it came down to it she'd do what she had to do to be safe and to free as many of the forlorn creatures on the inside. Poor buggers.
Out of habit, or nerves, she unwrapped her hands one at a time and re-wrapped them. The skin underneath red and puffy as if the wraps hadn't been enough protection from the fighting she had done recently and did what she hated. She waited.
Ohhh, how very cute indeed. Shaking her head, pig-tails flying about like silken whips, Meesha put her hands on her hips and grinned down at the boy-man. He was younger than her, but not a child anymore it didn't seem and she liked him.
"Yousa soooo cute, you stick with Meesha yes? We free little kitty-kitties from the inside of this mean dumb building."
Sticking her tongue out and scrunching up her face was her act of rebellion against the building. Her fear had ebbed away as the other cats had assembled and the crows charmed her immensely. Dancing over to one she grabbed him in a bit of a strangle-hold and hugged him a few times. "Ohhh you're so kind! Meesha has never-ever eated a bird and now she never-ever will 'cuz you're sooooo cute!"
Stamping her foot she continued to dance around while the bird gave an awkward squawk and managed to escape her hold.
"Oi. That ones a bit of a piece of work, eh?"

Before Atreo could reply to Meeshas intent to stay with him on the mission she had bounced off to one of the Crows. Atreo had to admit he was slightly relieved that she was no longer focused on him. he was a gentleman so he would never say anything but she was definitely a bundle of energy! He could deal with kittens but she was like dealing with a bag of them! He turned his attention back to the adults, he was listening intently.
He wanted to know exactly what was going on, this way if something went wrong he would know who to look to for guidance. Or if he could remember the routes and plans they were talking about he would at least know what to do if he got separated. He looked at the building again and he had to admit it was indeed an intimidating place. He edged closer to the group of adults to be able to listen better and maybe if they noticed him they would include him in their plans. He wanted to be able to say something but couldn't think of any good ideas, so he tried to see what kind of a thought process the adults were using to get into the mode of thinking he would have to be in when they started.

The next thing the crow knew, a cat was playing with his wings. Needless to say, he was quite surprised. He knew some cats were nice, but this one was a wonder of curiousity. He flapped his wings a bit, blowing soft breeze at Meesha. The other crows snickered, and fought back giggling at their leader who was playing like a man entertaining a child. The crow shot them a glare and they immediately shut up.
"Ok so, essentially we need a game plan at this point guys...... We're gonna have to split up inside. Two teams. We'll have the rescue team, and we'll have the destruction team, which will be built on taking down the building. From there, feel free to separate yourselves however if you wish." She paused, "You understand? Once we've figured that out. We need to vote on how we're getting in. The door or the vents? Or maybe......." She noticed some loading boxes outside. If we go past those sympathizer dogs and hide in those, they'll take them inside. After all, it looks like they're going to unload that received shipment indoors."
"You're saying we , sneak around like Odysseus and the Cyclops's sheep, and then split up into our two teams? Sounds good to me. But our the others okay with..... It will have to be well-timed so no other cats get caught inside."
"Or crows!" a bird interjected.
"Indeed. And I'll give one of any you cats my phone, and you may call Odette for help or directions. (('you have one life-line left' *shot'd* xD) "So who wants to go with me? I'm sure Amaranth would like to work someone new for a change." (maybe Atreo since he'll be in her territory and they haven't met xD)
"I have a feeling this place is gonna turn into a zoom with all the excitement....," spoke another bird. "But the plan isn't too bad. We'll just have to see how it goes."

Slipping a bracer sporting three sharp, claw-like blades onto his right wrist, Ikuto gave a devious grin to the curly tom. "You can leave the cameras to me." His blue-tipped tail flickered in excitement and he angled his ears to catch what the female, this guy's second-in-command apparently, had to say. With a self-assured grin, he ignored her comment and waited to see what everyone else decided. In reality, Ikuto didn't really care what the others were doing, as long as he had his task and no one else got in his way, he was set. Yes, this cat was definitely unused to working in a team.
When Airi came to stand next to him, awaiting her own purpose to be decided, the Bombay tilted his head to glance down at her, still grinning as he watched her mess with her bandages. "I heard you were sneaking around this place, He began with a low, teasing tone, "did you miss me that much?"Demi lifted her ears to listen completely to the tall black tom beside Ikuto, also taking notice of the younger girl as she flounced from cat to crow. What was she even doing here? Giving her short tail a dismissive flick, dismissive for now, the dappled female stepped forward and focused her attention on the Siamese first; was she in a position to be delivering her own game plan like that? Casting a curious, sidelong glance at the tom who seemed to be in charge, she cleared her throat lightly and grinned, "Well, Whatever plan we decide to follow, anyone who's uncertain about things on the inside can stick with me. Like I said before, I know my way around this dump. I don't really mind leading a game of 'follow the leader,' ya know?" Whatever, plans were good and all, but she knew from experience that if enough cats dipped their paws into the idea jar that things would get crowded and confused and would just end in paws getting stuck. Carefree, she decided to just wait and see which cat takes charge, and then follow that one. And, well, if no one seems to come out on top, she could always follow Ikuto in and offer backup.

|~| The standing around part was partially due to me trying to give enough days to let as many people post as possible before making a plan; just in case cats had specific suggestions to add. @@ First time doing this without a set group (actually, first time I'm doing it at all), so forgive me if the posts turn haphazardous/slower in the future. Orientation for my college is coming up this week as well. *dies* |~|
Funny how he called the operation up, but it was Siam speaking. Ah well, he guessed from what he had been told that this was only part of her nature. "The vents have probably been opened from within by now," the black cat said once Siam was finished, one ear cocked in the direction of the Facility as if he could hear the actual sound of unhinged metal. "Waiting to be loaded in would be a waste of time in my opinion. A human would most likely notice if there is a sudden change in weight once they pick the boxes up. Also, I object to the idea of two teams: destroying the place will only take one cat, and I have already assumed that responsibility; however thin I look, I am more than capable for that task. There are far too many cats caged inside to consider wasting cat-power on such a simple task as an explosion when they coudl be used to free another."
That, and he preferred to do a few things alone once the experimented cats came swarming.
"First priority will be to locate the several rooms with our fellow cats; not a problem seeing as we have quite a few who have been . . . moonlighting about inside previously. Asmodeus, you may take out the lights as you please. You," he said, looking to the dark-haired lad who spoke earlier, "can take the cameras as you wish. The rest of you, whether I know you or not, I trust that you know yourself well enough to be able to use your abilities without hesitation. Crows, stand guard and alert us to movements outside. Any more questions before leaving?" His tail twitched like an anxious snake, the only sign of his quiet impatience.

Meesha managed to stifle her giggles for just a moment before turning to focus her attention on the people speaking. Some of the plans seemed like a little bit too much to understand but when push came to shove if she could choose between going inside and staying outside -- she'd stay outside.
Once the leader had spoken her ears drooped a bit and her tail puffed out with a bit of fear and she then squared up her shoulders. Meesha was always called a baby, but she was 22! Not a baby anymore. Flattening her ears down, she moved even closer to the other cats, distracted a bit by all the pretty clothes that others had on and looked about, "Meesha needs a patient partner... Meesha moves fast, she does."
Around other cats Airi would have gotten herself all in an uproar for being accused of missing someone but since it was Ikuto she just leaned her shoulder into his arm affectionately and stuck her tongue out at him. Her expression for a just a moment was playful and happy then it went back to it's usual strict emotionless state. It was time to be serious and to do the deed. The cats inside needed to be rescued and although they were all gathered up for the most part it seemed like a "Oh hell CHARGE" sort of fight. It was going to be messy and god only knew who was going to get hurt but whatever. She had plenty of bandages.
"I'll go in a group or single, but I won't take -HER- with me." Giving Meesha a glare. Patience was not a virtue generally teamed up with Airi.

Asmode watched everyone talk...and talk. He yawned and crossed his arms and kept watching the others as the crows got there. He smiled. A crow would be helpful. He walked over to a male and smiled. "My name is Asmodeus. I think i could use your help a little if you wouldn't mind coming with me." He said as he extended a hand in greeting.
The crow looked at him and shook hands back. "Names Claude. What kind of help? I heard you say you wanted to go after the lights?" He said as he crossed his arms. He had long black hair and was rather pale. He had leather pants on and a white shirt.
Asmodeus watched him and looked back at him. "I will be getting the lights. But i'd like to have someone who can offer distraction to the humans should i run into any. And whats more distracting then a bird in your face." He said as he looked back to the others.
"BC may i take this bird with me? I feel that since i'll be alone i'll need some help should a human find me. If i'm in the middle of turning the lights off i'll need something to watch my back. And humans do hate flying things in their faces." He said as he leaned on one hip, hand resting on the handle of his blade. He smiled up at the crow and then looked at BC as he flipped his long hair over his shoulders and looked over the women. So many of them...He liked the male over there, seemed like an a**, but seemed to know alot and how to take orders. Was offering to go take out the lights alone. He smiled and liked that, but knew that if El had come he would be yelling at everyone by now and they would have gotten a move on a long time ago. He was just glad that long haired female hadn't fawned all over him, he might of had to hurt her for touching him.
Spicy Marmalade! Now that it's exploded into being, seize hold of this evening's chance.

"Well then if you're sure, I'll leave blowing the place up to you. If you get blow to bits along with it....." Siam paused, "Nah, I may not have known you that long, but you'll survive. Alright. We'll just divide amongst ourselves." Her gaze fell over the others as she tried to decide who would come with her. Hopefully someone would simply volunteer, but she knew she could be intimidating, after all, she was The Great Siam.
Amaranth instead circled the crowd, using her other senses to investigate the others, looking for a perfect partner that would trust her, even though she was blind. Finally, She spoke to Atreo. She recognized his scent. "You're new to my territory aren't you? I've sensed you before. Why don't you come with me. You can bring a friend too if you like," she offered. "Show me what you've got."
Another of the crows, walked up beside Siam. "I'll follow you. You know how much I like to terrorize humans." He said nothing more. Siam was apparently okay with it because she remained silent, and awaited the others to make their decisions.
