[IC] The Experiment

[Nylic]

Allison twitched, but she tried to calm herself. Wow, Vlad's actually more unpredictable than I thought, she thought. While Allison's not actually the greatest role model ever, she's fully aware that children are still...well, children. She wondered if the government actually agreed to this. She studied some of the girls' reactions, a chick with silver hair, and Allison could see the rage burning in her eyes, while an older chick seems to be indifferent in the situation. What was Allison feeling though? Was she indifferent also, or angry? She wasn't sure, but maybe she does feel bothered that children has to be involved. "Let's just get this over with..." she muttered and stood up straight, no longer leaning against the wall. "Now, for a plan now..." She started to think hard for some holes they can pass through.

If that's the case then is it possible to break the cameras before they see us? Not sure how, though. Wow, how much disadvantage is Vlad giving us? Hm, I've gotta admit, we should go to the control room, but after that, what then? If we're not allowed to engage to the guards then--

Allison stopped mid-thought. "That's weird, since when did I actually became this serious?" Was she that affected by the kid?

Atisuto didn't care a bit that there was a child involved, and it very well showed. The only thing he was worried about was a possible punishment. Most of the other prisoners seemed to be quite upset that a child was involed, so he wondered if that would change their preformance during this 'mission'. It didn't matter eitherway, all he knew was that he needed to remain stealthy. He hoped that they would suceed, but he doubted it.

Kanjo woke up upon hearing Vlad speaking, again. He barely listened to anything Vlad said, the only things he heard were that he had to remain out of sight. There was also something about a child, but he didn't care. He crawled out from under the bleachers and layed back down ontop of them, quite bored and tired.

Allison ran a hand through her hair, before asking Vlad another question again. "Hey, Vlad, are you saying that if one of us gets seen, we all fail? Or is it possible that if one of us gets seen, he or she is unallowed to continue the mission but everybody else can go on without the guy?"

[MarshiestMallow]

Cassandra just smiled at Vlad "it's interesting, lunar energy and light. I won't be seen" and if worse came to worse, she could just exploit the blind spots on the cameras. She fell silent, deciding to just listen for now. She would do what needed to be done.

"Anyone gets spot and you all fail."Vlad told them."I don't care who or how they are count. You will also fail if i dont see everyone." Vlad looks towards Kanjo "contribute to he mission in a significant way. Iwill tell you that EVERYinch of this facility is cover with cameras. I have place cameras every 10 feet. I have them facing in all four directions." he stated proudly. "Plus guards at every intersection. You have today to decide who is doing what. Once you have a plan your leader will report to me. When she returns you will begin. I leave you to your planning." Vlad headed out of the room.

[a00000000000]

"Well, shit." Atisuto muttered as he heard what Vlad had explained. The mission was mostlycompletely impossible, he couldn't do anything to hide himself from that many cameras and guards, and make sure no one else got caught. "What're we gonna do?" he asked himself while staring at the ceiling. He actually cared about the mission now, but he knew it was going to fail... miserabley.

Kanjo growled when Vlad was speaking mostly at him, but then continued to not really listen to anything he had to say.

It seemed like Spark was right and Vlad was basically asking for the impossible. "Completely undetected..." In truth if Cassandra could really go invisible then she and Spark could do the entire mission on their own, not that Vlad would let them do it that way. She got up from the bleachers, walked over to a power outlet, and ripped off the cover. "Alright old man. you wanna play games, I'll fuckin' play." Spark put both her hands inside the outlet, connecting her to the entire power grid. The amount of energy running through the facility was enormous and having it run through her was euphoric. "Gāisǐ de!(Damn!)... this is almost as good as fucking!..." It took her a moment to compose herself. "Alright then, gimme a sec' kiddos, I'm gonna find out where the hell everything is."

Spark had to concentrate but she could 'see' the different routes where power was running. It was a vast network of highways. Several signals were separate but still connected to the grid, she assumed by their position that they were the guard's radios. Vlad had given her just enough information to tell the difference between guards, cameras, and other systems. The faint signals at each intersection were guard radios which meant she could keep track of guard movements and the signals arranged in pairs of four at ten foot intervals were the cameras. She couldn't tell what the cameras could see but she could turn them off at a moments notice or set them to loop the same signal repeatedly and as far as guards were concerned she could at least track their movements.

It wasn't really her style to play a support role, she would much rather have just fried the security system and knocked out any guards along the way but Vlad had to make things difficult. "Hey Roxy, I know I ain't the damn boss but listen for a minute. I got a plan, well, I got most of a plan. Seein' as I can track all the guards and deal with the fuckin' cameras I should stay behind, besides subtlety isn't really my style. First, we're gonna need communication equipment. That means we'll have to steal some guard radios and set them to a different frequency so we can all keep in contact. Once we have those then everyone but Roxy and myself should be sent out in secret to hidden positions waiting for the next phase of the plan. As for the stealthiest people in our group they'll be the ones actively searching for the girl in phase two, that means Cassandra and Allison unless anyone else can go invisible or phase through walls. Everyone else should be ready to make some noise to give the guards the run around and keep them busy so that Cassandra and Allison can search without too much trouble. Once all that shit is ready Roxy can go report to the old man, if she reported to him before we got everything ready the old fuck would act against us and we'd be nailed before we could make any progress. In this mission Vlad is essentially the enemy commander so telling him our actual plan is fuckin' dumb. Instead, Roxy, you should make up some bullshit to tell the old man so he'll have no idea how to stop us. Roxy will give the signal for phase two once she's reported to the old man, when she does I'll black out the lights and cameras. Then, everyone else can start causing distractions to lead guards away while the search party looks for the girl. Once we find her and break her out of her cell we can use our diversion team to make a path for the search party's escape. At least that's how it works in my head. Anybody got a better idea?"

[KatherinWinter]

Roxy stormed over to Spark. She pulled the girl away from the outlet and pointed to the camera pointed right at her. "Are you deaf or dumb? He said NOT to get caught. He just saw you access every camera in the building. do youvthink that he isnt aware of what we can do? He fricken created us! He knews rxactly what we can do and I can guaranty that he took those abilities into consideration when he gave us the mission. I'm betting whatever you just accessed wasnt this facility. Now I realize atleast half of you don't give a shit about the mission. I don't care what you think of me, Vlad or this mission. We are going to do this mission and we are going to follow the fucking rules. Yes Vlad has basically screwed us. But the enemy isn't going to make out missions easy. They wouldn't need people with powers if any solider can do this. Stop thinking inside the box. While Spark's idea about telling the old man crap is a good idea let me remind you we are on video folks he will know what we plan before I report!"

[MarshiestMallow]

Cassandra wasn't listening, not fully. Spark was like a badly tuned radio in a car, that Cassandra was blocking out. It was there, you could still hear it, but it wasn't a focus. Instead, Cassandra focused on her breathing. In and out. Slow. In. Stop. Out. Slow. She focused on that until she no longer had to think about it. She spread her awareness of self to each and every part of her body. From her finger tips, to her toe tips. From the very top of her head, to the very bottom of her soles.

She willed light into every fiber of her being, the lunar energy making her want to hum. She might have done it. She wasn't too sure. It felt like every cell of her being was..vibrating. She was trying to do it all internally, not wanting the light from the energy to be seen. She swallowed, opening her eyes, and staring at her hands, continuing her little ritual. In and out. Will the energy though her, will it to do what she wanted it to do.

Slowly, slowly, it seemed to Cassandra, her hands became transparent. Hollow. Was it working? She looked up, and smiled, she was sure, like the cheshire cat. Or she hoped. she leaned back against the wall, and said, "The thing with vlad is, his information is only as current as our knowledge of ourselves is. I imagine our powers might adapt" She shrugged, "We cwon't get caught. We will ave the kid" Her tone was full with underlying fury.

[KatherinWinter]

"Cassandra I hate to point this out." Roxy told her. "But if Vlad didn't know that you could do that before he does now and he will be ready for it. Have any of you seen Vlad's security hub? He isn't joking he has every fricking inch of this facility covered by atleast two cameras. Those cameras are manned 24/7 by professionals that take their job seriously. Stop showing off what you can do!" She sighed this was going to impossible. "We have to work together. Everyone can not go doing their own thing. The only way we are going to have half a chance is if we follow the rules. Because won't be the only one's to suffer if we fail."

[MarshiestMallow]

Cassandra shrugged, "To slow to use at the moment. Better then trying it when we have to act and being caught. Least I know I can do it. It's in reserve. It wasn't really showing off." She wondered if she could do it to someone else, throw Vlad off. That was an interesting thought, ut she didn't voice it. Why give everything away?. Camera's always have blind spots. Every inch can't be guard..." She trailed off as another thought came to her. Could she create invisible darts of light and energy, throw the camera's off? Over power them? Could spark do that, without the camera's picking it up? Then they would only have to contend with the guards. "We need to think of a way to discuss things without vlad picking it up on the camera's" She said softly, "Any ideas as to that? Otherwise, we're ust giving everything away now"

[Midori]

"Shit!" Roxy was right she had completely forgotten about the security in the room. Now that she knew where everything in the room was though she could turn off the surveillance equipment without so much as flinching. "What a fuckin' rookie mistake, I guess bein' in New York State Penitentiary made me soft." She didn't want to let on that she had actually gained a lot from tapping into the local power grid. She knew the layout of the entire facility now and it would be a lot easier for them to get around if she could find a place to make a map in secret. "Since you seem to know so much about the old man Roxy, why don't you fill us in on any other useful information you have so we can all be informed."

[gamer5910]

Flippy had been asleep when he was first dragged to the room but had jumped back to life when Vlad started talking. When Vlad left and the others were trying to think of a plan, Fluppy raised his hand and began to speak to the group "So let me get this straight the only rules are we all must help, don't harm the guards, and don't get caught on camera using our powers but we can be seen on camera as long as we're not using our powers?"

[KatherinWinter]

Roxy shook her head. "I've played this game. When Vlad says not to get caught he means that we can not be seen by the guards or the cameras. We're suppose to become a super stealth ops team. Which means there can be no evidence if us being anywhere near the place we are to hit. He will watch and listen until I tell him we are ready to begin. Once I report in we can't be see by anything or anyone."

[gamer5910]

Flippy prepared a counter argument while Roxy was talking and when she was done he spoke. "But Vlad did say that there are missions where we need to sneak around in plain sight, so what if this is one of those missions testing to see how good we are at sneaking around in plain. Also there is literally no other way to sneak around this facility so unless you have a better plan I'm all ears." Flippy finally finished waiting to see how Roxy would respond since he was right trying to hide from cameras that face all directions and have been placed so no living thing won't be seen there's no other way it would be just madness.

[Midori]

Spark idled by the exposed power outlet and leaned against the wall. "So what exactly is your plan then, Roxy? Since you seem to have an answer for everything."

"I didn't say I knew everything. I just know Vlad and his games better than the rest of you. Flippy's right that this could be a 'hide in plain sight' challenge. But I think thats too easy. He isn't going to let us rescue this child easily. I'm guess he's going to make it as impossible as he can. Because it gives him a way to get us to play his game." Roxy explained.

[gamer5910]

Flippy was also curios about what type of mission it was "But what if Vlad is trying to trick us into thinking it's not a simple hide in plain sight? Besides this mission is where humanely possible to try and avoid every single thing." Flippy said with a long sigh to follow. "I mean there is a plan I have that might work." He told Roxy hoping to hear him out.

"Lets hear it because I dont have anything at the moment." Roxy told him. She wondered what his plan entailed

[gamer5910]

"We could have Atisuto draw some guard gear to match the others so we could slip past the cameras and other guards without needing to us our powers or have some complex plan, but wr have to get somewhere the cameras can't see si we can put the gear on." Flippy explained the best he could even though Roxy would most likely say no to it.
