*Zazriel look at everyone in the room in turn*
And how well defended are each of the entrances?

@ZAVAZggg

I have no idea, unfortunately.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

How many of us are there in total?

@ZAVAZggg

As of now, there are nine: Aron, Spirit, X, Nix, Zazriel, Painting Dye, Martyn, Drake, and I.

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

*Pokes my head in*
Sorry, what was that?

@Webmaster

The element of surprise? Tactics.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

First off, what is the point of going to those four locations first?
The more I know the better I can respond.

@Darlit Glitch

For security, each access point handles different aspects and different jurisdictions of the server. Before I can shut it down completely at the spire, I need to activate safeguards at each point to protect my people. And, anyone interacting with the server in the spire needs authorization from two points throughout the city.

*he nods*
Zazriel.
*turns his attention back to Seth*
That would make things a little more difficult, but it seems manageable. Oh, I can also become invisible at will and shapeshift to a certain extent, so I could possibly slip past the guards unnoticed. Unless they have some sort of detection method of course.

@ZAVAZggg

For a time, you will be able to. With your help we can get in close, but close enough and we will be detected. Until then, we will have the element of surprise on our side.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

Then what's our best method of entry?

Also I can take it that Teth will be our main opposition

@Darlit Glitch

It depends. I am not gifted with strategic ability. You all are surely more battle-hardened than I—considering that we need to get to four guarded points throughout the city before we head for the centre, should we split into groups or attack each one together?

@Realmatic

*Walks in*
I would be more than glad to help.

@Nimda

Thank you for your aid.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

Should provide some fun then.
*looks a little excited.*

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

Then she's done it just to be annoying?

@Darlit Glitch

Tamerlaine has done almost nothing. She left control to Teth.

<Snipped quote by Source>

*chuckles*
Indeed it is.
*turns to address Seth*

Are there any secret or unused entrances to this server that she wouldn't know about?

@ZAVAZggg

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

With such concerns behind us, then, how shall we take the server? If it is as large as you say, must we go through the whole thing? How is this server dismantled? From many points or one?

@Disdain

There are several points of interface throughout the city for the server, but only a few are relevant to our purposes. The most important are at the top and at the underground bottom of a spire in the center of the server, but we need to get to at least four others beforehand. We will not be able to teleport directly into the city, and it is unlikely that we will be able to teleport while inside it, so we will have to enter from the outside.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by ZAVAZggg>

I meant primarily as our main threat.

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

Why is that?

@Source

One: the transformation controlling everybody is a horrible, spur-of-the-moment mess. Two, this infiltration does not directly impact her major purpose, because those who support me over Tamerlaine are few—not nearly enough to significantly impact the research, should they be freed. Tamerlaine does not dabble in small matters unless she will enjoy doing so.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

Is she not?

@Source

She will not interfere with our attempt to dismantle the server.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

I could manipulate darkness to provide us with cover. Might make infiltration easier.

@ZAVAZggg

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

So just wrecking the thing isn't an option. I can guess that's because of potential negative effects.
I'm willing to immobilize our foes and can provide each of us with extra energy if needed.

@Darlit Glitch

Both abilities will help. Teth will have hired guards of every colour of magic to protect the server at all costs. We will be dealing with six sorts of reality manipulators; to give you a rundown on their abilities could take a lot of time and it may be preferable for us to deal with them all as they come.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

So what's our plan of attack?

@Darlit Glitch

Phase one: We will first have to mobilise the resistance that I have planted across the world. Unfortunately, they are all inactive because Teth—the usurper—has taken the telepathic network that connects the planet and used it to impose a transformation that guarantees loyalty to herself. The network is hosted and the transformation inscribed on a server the size of a city, which we will have to infiltrate and dismantle—extremely carefully.
