[OOC] Code of the Burned [FULL]

[Skythikon]

Well, it would be unwise to promote someone who is bad at this, would it not?

[Genni]

It's the Peter Principle. People always get promoted to their level of incompetence, and then rely on the skills of those beneath them to cover up the fact they can't do their jobs. By promoting me you'll all have to do the work instead as I start delegating my duties out and taking longer lunch breaks. :D

[Skythikon]

I can't imagine myself taking a longer lunch break than I already do.

[SimplyJohn]

You can always take a longer lunch breaks. I once worked at a company where a director called at 9:30 to say he would be going straight to a business lunch that day, never came into the office and then put in a claim for three hours of overtime. That must've been one hell of a lunch!

[Jangel13]

Are we waiting on someone?

[Genni]

@Jangel13 I'm waiting on @Dragonite777, since Birdseed's the Conversationalist in our team and could probably do a better job of acting like a normal customer in a flower shop than Condor could.

I think 'Team Sneaky-Sneaky-Boom' are waiting on @Avanhelsing since @SimplyJohn's last post ended with a question to Jack about the intel he was examining in the car on the drive to the warehouse.

If you want to chime in with any help or advice for either party now would be a good time, as they're both just about to hit the action and an update on intel might be useful.

[RomanAria]

@Genni Umm except I don't play Birdseed? I play Owl?
I'm confused already.

@RomanAria

'Owl'? Who said anything about 'Owl'?
^{*twiddles her thumbs and looks at the ceiling innocently, hoping no-one notices the recent edit of her last post*}

[Avanhelsing]

I'm very busy. I'll post later tonight.

[Dragonite777]

@SimplyJohn I can definitely make her Co-GM. There's no way to transfer GM power, lol

[RomanAria]

... oooh dear. I think I went a bit overboard.
Um.
I'm not sure what to say.
Writing to relieve stress is probably NOT the best thing in the world.

[RomanAria]

Oh dear. I can fix, @SimplyJohn Sorry that I ninja'd you.

[SimplyJohn]

@RomanAria That's okay, only needed to make a couple of small changes to my post to make it work. :)

[RomanAria]

Oh cool. I'll wait for a couple of people to post, or should I go ahead again?

[SimplyJohn]

I'd be happy for you to go straight ahead. There's a window for a short scene between Patch and Owl while Jack composes himself and Archangel checks the records.

Since the others are all on a separate mission there's no need for us to wait to hear from @Dragonite777 unless he wants to drop in with some GM material to mess us up with. :)

[RomanAria]

@SimplyJohn Yessir, working on a post now, sir!

[RomanAria]

Sorry, I had to go eat dinner in the middle of post-writing. Finally done with it though.

@SimplyJohn

You don't know long lunch breaks until you've seen someone ask the lieutenant whether he could take 3 hours off work so that he could take a nap, and actually getting it.

Ah, military intelligence. Almost no one questions what you do. They all think we're doing important stuff 24/7. XD

[SimplyJohn]

@Skythikon

Are you trying to suggest that Patch's 96-hour Solitaire marathon, which he completed while working for SIS, wasn't important? He came very close to achieving a new World Record, and would've done too if the air supply in the one-man sub hadn't run out.

[SimplyJohn]

Any thoughts on Patch's infiltration plan? While the delivery sounds good, turning up in a car without anything to actually deliver might raise a few eyebrows, but turning up without a van or stuff to deliver and telling the guards it was stolen might work out for them.

It also plays into Patch's self-destructive nature to have his team mate punch him up a little, just to give himself the appearance of having been in a fight. With both his and Owl's medical knowledge on the team they can both make sure the wounds look serious while at the same time being superficial.

Owl's Conversationalist/Psychology skills would help deal with the guards without having to draw any weapons and Jack's Athletics and Stealth would make a covert approach optimal.
