The Initiative members working on the ground crew had each received notice, whether it be through word of mouth during one of their drop offs or via a small slip of paper slipped onto their pocket, of a meeting to be held at their Chittentown safehouse. That night was tonight.

“Hello, brothers and sisters. Thank you for joining us.” Byakko stepped forward, drawing her arms over her chest. ”First of all, I want to say- great work everyone. I couldn’t be more pleased with our progress so far.” While as stone faced as ever, her voice carried the warmth of pride.
“Everything is running perfectly smooth. We’re collecting resources at a steady enough rate, that if we keep this pace up, we’ll have enough to make the upgrades we wanted to make to the swamp. And maybe then some. Wander, Poeias, Selune- you're all really impressing me out there.”

“While you all deserve a little commendation, that’s not why I’ve summoned you here tonight. This is.”
Byakko held out a sheet of paper, then handed it off to the nearest troll. It was passed around the room. The font was clearly that of the military.

Quote:
SUBJECT: Proper Disposal and Destruction of Obsolete Military Technology
It has come to my attention that certain procedures are not being fully performed within the janitorial unit. While I sympathize that cutting corners that may seem unnecessary is both cost and time effective, these procedures are in place for a reason.
Destroy all components via the incinerator upon confirmation of serial numbers.
Discard all waste in the appropriate waste sectors.
A minimum of two guards should be posted and patrolling each waste sector at any given time.
Security footage should be reviewed by a supervisor once every 24 hours, at minimum.
Any further breaks in procedure will result in immediate and swift response.


“This notice is from shortly before the sites publicly opened, so it’s safe to say it’s not about our own activity in any way. I have connections in Chittentown’s underworld, and I’ve heard whispers about someone working out of the city selling modded and repaired military tech.” She tapped a finger against her elbow. “Putting two and two together, I figure it’s a worthy enough lead to try and track down. We know whoever this is, is working out of the city, and that they’ve likely been scavenging from military stations around the desert. If we can find and gain access to this underground market- well, I’m sure you can see why it could be useful to the Initiative. I trust in your abilities- good luck.”


Rebel ground crew CYOA time! Only Phoenix Initiative members on the ground crew can post in this thread. Each day, for a week, a choice will be presented as you press further into your investigation. Each post containing your option must also include min 75 words.
You may collect items during your search! Yay! You will also collect favour points. Certain choices may increase or decrease your favour points, and you start off with a default of 0. Please keep track of your items and points!
There is no HP or mechanic to put you ‘out’ of the game. However, if you miss a day you will be sent back to one of the basic search branches of the CYOA, losing progress.
There are no official groups, but feel free to choose the same options as another troll to simulate one.

It’s your first night on the sites since Byakko’s briefing on a potential lead for black market technology. How do you decide to spend your time?

A. Busy yourself doing mundane work around the military facilities and offices. Perhaps you can learn something interesting.

B. One of the supply rooms has only one guard scheduled for the entirety of the night. Sneaking in and filling your pockets would be very easy...

C. Inspect the building sites, and spy on the trolls working on them.

Path: C!

Cynril was very disappointed on himself. Byakko hadn't noticed his efforts at all. He wasn't doing ANYTHING right! Throught the whole breifing, the child had been mentally kicking himself for not trying hard enough. But with the information given by the mutantblood, he was going to try and be successful, for once. Keeping himself out of sight was one of the things he actually managed to do right, so he decided to spend his time inspecting the building sites, and spy on any of the trolls working on them.

Selune Maidaz Lunara Zediam

Path B

Selune felt pretty darn awesome... being one of the Rebels' last options for material collection... All the awesome trolls were busy being cool in space, and tho she was helping out as much as she could, she could not help but feel like she could be doing more.

Then their fearless leader called them all together for a mission. It was great! Another chance to do her all with helping out! She listened with apt attention to the directions, and looked forward to her job all the more.

With renewed vigor the greenblood went to work. More pep in every step! She had been doing her usual, labeling "duds" and other "trash" items to be taken to the dump, aka smuggled away, while she watched the guards. As soon as the door they had been guarding was unguarded, Selune snuck in.

Path C

Eyzaak cranes his head to look around. He was fairly bummed he hadn't been able to go into space. All the older rebels seemed to have. Well almost anyway. Sighing dramatically the blueblood toed at an invisible rock. At least Byakko had asked them to do something! It made him feel slightly more important.

He scowled slightly he needed to work on things more. However it was nice to hear his friends were doing so well!

Deciding to do a bit of spy work he made his way around the building site. Given he had spent a Bloodfest as his own self he felt safe enough to be registered under his own name. Chewing at his bottom lip thoughtfully he adjusted his scarf as he made note of everything, from the workers to the facility alike.

Wander found herself perpetually flustered. Their leader had mentioned her during the ground crew meeting! Ah! Perhaps she might be? Doing something right for once...? The orangeblood could not believe it. She was just trying her best, working with her friends, and trying to keep the peace... She didn't realize she was doing well, just what was expected of her.

Ahhhh......

Now, despite having a new task at hand, her head was still a little in the clouds. She had intended to do some spying, but. Wow. Recognition...

She looked over her shoulder. Wait, was that Cynril-

And bumped right into someone else. "Oof!"

Immediately mortified, she had to see who it was. "S-sorry... O-oh!" The local swamp blueblood boy! The loud one. Ah. Hm.

Voscil Torgny Sorine Walker
Points: 0
Path B

Voscil wore a small grin on her face. She hadn't gone into space... she had been to proud to admit how afraid she was. The tall yellowblood had carefully put together a fake, convincing disguise to make up Sorine Walker's disguise. She missed her friends.. and her matesprite. For how she had work to do!

Raising a brow at Byakko as she spoke she nodded in understanding. Voscil had plans to get more work done on the ground level but she had been plauged by worries ans doubt. Humming thoughtfully Voscil inched away once the meeting had finished. Her psionics made it easy to move from one point to the other. Electricity could be easily wrapped around her to help her quickly go from one point to the next.

As there was only one guard it sure would be easy to slip inside. Slinking towards the supply room she had scoped out Vos followed not far behind the small greenblood she recognized as Selune.

Eyzaak Hiroki
Points: 0

As he was doing his inspection he went to take another step as a body hit him. Blinking rapidly he turned to face the troll whom had walked into him. A surprised look crossed the child's face. Instantly he knew who it was. Wander was always so nervous and shy. Grinning from ear to ear he chuckled. "Heyyy! One of the trolls of the hour! The boss called you and Cyn out... nice work." He praised. Grasping her shoulder he gave it a friendly squeeze.

"Nice work. Don't be sorry yo. We are cool." Eyzaak explained as he let go of the other. The redblood was super nervous all the time..which was fine he supposed it was her business afterall.

That didn't mean he wouldn't chat with her. If anything there was a chance to extend their friendship. "You doing ok?" He asked looking her over. Normally she was with someone else. Eyzaak was surprised to see her alone.

Choosing: Path A

An investigation. Poe didn't want to call too much undue attention to himself, so he lowered his goggles, busying himself around the military. He could look like a regular volunteer. After all, he was! Black market technology... He wanted to help them find this lead. If he could, they'd have another source of weaponry, more resources. Poe had been doing his best, but anything more he could do would be good.

He kept himself close to the military, keeping his spongeclots open for any juicy information they might have.

"U-uh. Y-yeah." Wander couldn't help but blush...at all of it. Guess other trolls were paying attention to that speech, too. Well, yes, of course they were but. Trolls who might care. Besides her super close friends. Wow.

"Th-thanks. I-I'm okay." Still a little off-kilter, but... Bumping into someone she knew certainly felt better than bumping into someone she didn't!

"A-are you ch-checking out the s-sites too...?" Wander tried to ask in words that would be clear but not suspicious to anyone else around.

"This looks like a good spot, Tetete," Athera was hushed, speaking just a touch lower than your average inside voice. No matter what, she was always careful to use disguise names, even when they looked alone. Someone could come around the corner at any moment. The last thing she wanted to do was get them caught and culled! That would be bad!

"We should clean this stuff up. What a mess." It was all a cover, of course. While they worked to organize, making it look like were doing the military a great service, they'd keep an ear open for more information to add to what Byakko had already told them.

It was a good idea! Athera thought so, anyway. And... Muerte thought so too, right...? She looked at him with big, curious eyes.

    "Indeed." Muerte looked around the messy room, his eye narrowing slightly. Pigs, all of them, the lot of them. Hadn't anyone heard of cleaning up as you go? He sighed in an exasperated way. Cleaning wasn't something he wanted to do because it felt very unfulfilling (it wasn't stealing blueprints or siphoning supplies), but he supposed they were supposed to be laying low, and to that end... listening.

    So, Athera was doing well, everything considered.

    "Start setting aside like items with like items. I'll do you the favor of placing things back on the higher shelves." He dusted off a small box--something that looked light--except it wasn't. It definitely wasn't. His back was going to hate him later for this...

Sonnie was busy sorting the binders and books by color, arranging all of them into a neat little rainbow on the bookshelf. Occasionally, he'd peer into one of the binders and pretend to fix a few stray pages, then go back to sorting as usual.

Muerte said to sort like items with like items. These items were alike in color, so Sonnie was proud that he was doing a good job. To get a closer look at his things, he pulled back his frog mask, letting it hang off of his horns.

"This is fun!" Sonnie said, trying to keep up the spirits of his rebel compatriots. "I-isn't it? I like it..." He mumbled.

Night 1 Results:

A. As you sweep the branching halls of the Chittentown Space Research And Developmental Pioneering Science Laboratories Space Tower, you overhear an interesting conversation. “I know those outdated comms devices were set to be tossed. I saw the sheets myself. I don't know how the guy had them.” You recognize the voice wafting through a crack in a door as the tusked brownblood from the military ground crew registration. She’s deeply absorbed in conversation with another troll. “He said he found it around the west end Chittentown, but... he clearly wasn't telling the whole truth." "I don’t think the higher ups found any substantial leads. Not judging by the memo, anyway.” “Well, he's in jail now. That area isn’t exactly full of the most cooperative trolls…” “Mmm…” They hummed together in agreement. The conversation paused for a moment, before turning to tomorrow night’s taco bar. (choose between Path 1 or Path 2)

B. It was only a matter of time before the guard broke their position. Waddling with their thighs pressed together, they made way to the load gapers as quickly as they could. The time is now. You swoop into the block, but find it mostly full of dirty tools. However, you find two boxes of batteries. Take 1 package of name brand batteries OR 1 package of discount batteries. (remain on Path 1)

C. The only interesting information you collected was that tomorrow night the cafeteria would be serving tacos for lunch. You hear rumors it will be a ‘build-your-own’ taco bar… sweet. (remain on Path 1)


Night 2 Options:
If you have missed a night, start on Path 1.

Path 1: It’s the second night on the construction sites since Byakko’s briefing on a potential lead for a black market connection. How do you decide to spend it?
1A. It’s taco night, and word on the site is that there’s a build-your-own taco bar. Maybe in the cafeteria you can get some juicy gossip along with a juicy meal.

1B. Again, the supply rooms only have one guard posted for the whole night. You know the temptation of tacos is too much for any one troll to shoulder alone, and they’ll abandon their post eventually. Then it’s stealin’ time!

1C. You decide to stick to snooping around the building sites around Chittentown tonight. They’re still waging a small war against the paparazzi- maybe someone there had a lead.


Path 2: You decide to follow up on the lead in western Chittentown with suspicious optimism. The trolls here for the most part live in squalor. This area is also known for being full of seedy characters- in fact, the Initiative’s safehouse in the slums were not too far from here. Where do you take your investigation?
2A. It doesn’t take you long after arriving in the slums to hear rumor about ‘ghost activity’ in an underground cavern a half day’s hike away from the city outskirts. Suspicious. You get directions, and decide to check it out.

2B. One of western Chittentown’s claims to infamy is a failed ‘pay-by-the-minute’ hospital that went bankrupt and shut down sweeps ago. The abandoned building sounds like as decent as any place to continue your search.

2C. There’s a few dive bars in this area that the locals like to gather at. Surely, you can find some useful information there from the variety of characters.

Selune Maidaz Lunara Zediam
Points: 0
Inventory: 1 package of name brand batteries
Path B => Path 1A

Selune took the battery with a frown. Truthfully, she had hoped the place would have had more, since it was guarded and all, it should have had more! Either way, she was not gonna pass up on good batteries. She knew there was no real difference between name brand and off brand products, but some silly trolls put more faith in the name brand stuff, so Selune went for it. Always gotta look at that value!

The idea of taco party did sound quite tantalizing. And, considering her latest choice had lead to some lackluster results, she decided to go. I mean, tacos!
