☆TRACK VIII: I'LL REACH YOU BELOW

Who: All rescuers!
What: The trio is here to give you the deets.
When: The evening of February 18th.
Where: An abandoned subway.
Warnings: Nothing predictable, but you never know.

“Word has it on the wire
That you don't who you are.
Well, if you could jack into my brain,
You'd know exactly what you mean here.”

☆I'LL REACH YOU BELOW



The notification is sudden. A several hours in advance, all rescuers will receive a ping over the network from Shep that they are to gather at a specific location late that evening. The location will not be given out until one hour in advance of the meeting, but they are advised to be ready to receive it and move out immediately.

When they arrive, the meeting is taking place in an abandoned subway. At first it doesn't seem like there is a way in, but after slipping through the rubble in some collapsed tunnels, you'll find it. Shep, Gold, and Silver are all present, and will spent the first while doing a careful headcount of those that show up, until approximately 15 minutes after the starting time. The results seem to be disappointing. People who were here the first time are missing, that much is obvious just from looking around – the leaders’ unease with it is clear.

However, it doesn’t cause them to panic or change the point of the meeting, either. At 11:15 PM on the dot, then Shep will begin the meeting by explaining what they are all there for: information. There have been details that the team has been holding back on giving until now, and Shep will somewhat sheepishly explain that it’s because they didn’t want the risk the change of it being leaked in the event that new recruits were incapable or unwilling to blend and lay low for the time being.

Thankfully, he’ll explain, everyone here has more than proven themselves capable of working within Vista’s system. So, they’ve been brought together so they can be fully brought up to speed. Information will be delivered in three parts, by each one of the leaders. Afterwards, questions can be asked, and the rescuers will be allowed to mingle and discuss for a few hours.

All the information is concise, and in the end the actual explanation will end up taking a half hour or less. Afterwards, Gold has brought snacks to share, as has become customary. Hopefully you like pastries.

“So, if you've got the time,
Set up the tone to sync.
Tap in the code,
I'll reach you below.”

"Perhaps she will sort herself out eventually, it's not unheard of where I'm from. This seems like the sort of place where the landscape of the mission changes frequently.

"I'm curious, what do you suppose the next step for us is now? In rescuing these people?" She's trying to get a feel for what everyone may or may not be planning-- if she has to talk anyone out of doing something stupid.

"I should hope so." What will they do if Fantasma recovers... That means keeping an eye on their limits all the more. Mammon frowns before turning to pay more attention to the conversation at hand.

"I imagine it's one of two paths. One is retrieving one of the robots. If we can learn more about their weaknesses and get any information from them, we'll be better prepared. The other, of course, is retrieving the items necessary for surgical removal of the chips. Once that's done with, we'll likely start freeing the ones captured."

Vastra nods. "I'm wary of abducting one of these cyberm-- robots. We're calling them robots here, yes. I'm wary of abducting one of these robots, and its fellows noticing it has gone missing. It would be quite the mess if we cracked one open and discovered as we were dissecting it that it's linked to others. Or worse, putting out a tracking beacon.

"Gathering the parts seems the safest direction. At least that way we aren't mucking about with calling attention to ourselves before we're ready."

"That is the problem.... But in that case, I like to think I can be prepared for anything besides a tracking system." Their shoulders roll in a shrug.

"I've heard they've already managed to get their hands on one of them before... Perhaps we can ask about that."
