Second Chances: the Network

I AM SO GLAD TO SLEEP IN MY OWN BED AGAIN

I know it might be too soon, but since everything seems to be over and law enforcement has rounded up a bunch of those hunters, who's got Halloween plans? Alexis, is the party still on?

Kind of feels like we need something good in our lives right now, so what's everyone's costume?

For those still in the city...

Matt and I have been focusing on the noise/sonic disruptor shit on our patrols. It's stronger in some places than others. We've been trying to pinpoint it and there's a few target areas.

[insert map with areas highlighted]

Given how it's affecting folks, pretty sure it's some type of sonic disruptor device. [insert list of types of devices and suggested means of disabling/destructing them]


Here's where we need help:

The goal is to have several synchronized strike teams hit all possible locations tonight (28th-29th overnight) and take out the evil vuvuzelas.

So, any volunteers? (Those of you under 18 - get permission from your guardian before signing up .)


Full disclosure, this is not a zero-risk operation. We'll need all types of skills - getaway drivers, fighters, tech folks, comms, explosives... so if you're in, we can find you a job.


[OOC: anyone who wants their char to be involved can volunteer, feel free to make up teams, talk about specific sonic devices etc. I'm doing some handwaving here. There will be as many areas to hit as we have 'strike teams'. Coulson's thinking 2-3 people per team. No one goes solo.

Feel free to crosspost all you want on this :) ]

UPDATE Wednesday 29 October

Thanks to everyone who helped out last night. It looks like we were successful knocking out the noise disruptors that were causing so many problems for our folks. It looks like things have calmed down significantly.

LAMP

You boys have any new recordings we can listen to?

[LAWYERS + DEAN WINCHESTER]

I know people have questions. We don't have answers that we feel safe putting out there yet.

What we do have is a situation where it feels like shit is about to hit the fan real fucking quick, though.

Can any of you be on standby in case we need you?

[STARFLEET]

I know Una's safely out of the city, but what about the rest of you? Regardless, it's probably a good idea to keep your phaser on you if you have it. Set on stun, obviously, but these folks aren't afraid to shoot first.

Added later: Mariner & Ransom - dinner at mine tonight if you're free.

[ADAINE & UNA]

Not sure if Una told you, Adaine, but I got in a little scuffle yesterday. I'm okay - no harm no foul, but just be careful out there, yeah?

Hi, yes, hello. I introduced myself when I first got here and you have all been so incredibly welcoming so I'm really hoping I'm not overstepping any bounds here. But see, the thing is, when I got here I had my wife here. And then after she was gone I still had my ward. But now she's gone too. And I have been trying my hardest not to map out every single attack or odd happenstance that I can track down on the network to try to triangulate a location right now because I'm sure that better and more experienced minds than mine are already on it. But it's driving me bonkers and I don't know how much more I can take without something to take my mind off of my sister feeling so helpless.

My name is Waverly Earp. I have a masters degree in ancient languages, for those of you who chose not to participate in two truths and a lie with me. And I'm half-angel, which I sort of keep under the rug but you know, desperate times. Will somebody please give me something to do so I can feel useful? Before I go off and make up something myself?

_{(OOC-posted first thing the morning, 10/25)}

[BatFam+ & Friends]

First and foremost: I'm/we're okay.

Chris and I tried to go to the store last night and were attacked on our way back. They were after me, but Chris pushed me away. He was shot, but he's okay.

( [Wynonna + Chris] (cut for language) )

Now that Hardison's secured the network, I have a request.

IF you are safe to do so: Record-Record-Record.

Audio, video—anything you can. Start compiling everything you've seen, heard, or documented since the beginning and send it to me. I'm starting to put together a timeline, and all of it will help. We call this the "discovery phase".

The Liaison Office may have let us down, but that doesn't mean we can't go after the people behind this.

And just like that, the systems are mine.

I got the network. I got the phones. I got the CCTV around the apartments. I got what the liaisons had, and now it is only us. You can still call and text anyone outside of our network, but anything you post can't be found by any non-displaced resident.

If anyone, even friendlies, tries to hack this, they will get a nasty little something as a consequence. I have contingencies built into the system in the event of my departure, but as long as I'm here, Big Brother can't get any of our information.

And with that, I'm gonna go sleep for 36-48 hours. If you see me on here, don't judge. I'll at least be in bed.

» You see that statement from the city?
» I’m looking to find that son of a bitch

It’s obvious that Zed is being chased, he sounds stressed and a lot less Zed-like than usual.

"Loki, it’s me. I’m— at the stadium. Had to get away from people." A snarling noise breaks into his sentence and he struggles to talk around it. "They followed me after classes. My ZBand—"

The phone is knocked from his hand as a loud clatter follows. Voices of others carry over the speaker, shouting at each other directions to trap and grab the monster. There’s a crashing noise as something or someone is thrown into the bleachers. Yells and growls mix together-clearly Zed as he struggles not to be caught, or lose himself completely to his monstrous side.

Filter: Friends of Lydia, Stiles and Kitty

Kitty and I were both attacked. Stiles got us out of the city.

Please stay safe.

Filter: Enid & Willa

Are you both okay?

Filter: Wally

Thank you, for what you did.

CW/TW: likely mention of a gun shot wound in comments

Facts as we know them

1. They can't see me and Edwin, but they know about us.
2. They're obsessed with salt.
3. They're using iron, so they definitely know about us.
4. We'll find out in the morning what happens when I'm injured just before sunset.



5. I might need help in the morning.

走私人口不是我们的日常工作，但这是一份工作

[Ginny]
Ain't gonna be in tonight. Got somethin to take care of.

I'm not sure how these bugs got in this apartment, but I've got the best bug zapper on the market. I'll make short work of this. Probably get rid of 'em in a couple of days.

Unrelated, but, y'all. The internet is forever. You gotta be careful what you put out there for everyone to see. You never know who's on the other end of the screen.

Enid is MIA. No phone, no tracking. What've we got?


[ ooc; anyone who knows him knows he wouldn't risk posting (AND unfiltered!) this if he weren't absolutely LIVID - he's gonna do a Violence, y'all ]

Right I'm not staying in anymore. Found a new type of earplugs to try... Who needs help? I still can't pinpoint that well but I'm gonna try.

[Tim]
Where are you?

[Batfam+ filter]
Is Tim with one of you?

[ooc note: assume it's later in the evening or whenever Tim gets himself injured]

I got my girls out of the city, but my suit keeps hitting critical failure as I try to fly over the city. All other attempts to regain entry have been unsuccessful.

If they're organized. We need to get organized.

I can help manage people and supplies outside of the town, I just need to know who is out here and where you are. At the very least I can make sure the people out here are taken care of and try to get supplies through the inside maybe.
