WHO || Wynn, Carol, Malina, Alex, Kali [Closed]
WHAT || Guadalajara Mission Briefing
WHERE || Knights HQ, the briefing room
WHEN || April 18th, shortly before 5pm [back dated]
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread, don't worry about maintaining tagging order.

Just as before, accessing the secret room where the Round Table is housed requires using the Knight's keycard to open the glass case beside the mural of the War in Heaven, located across from the ballroom entrance. Using the fire extinguisher as a lever to activate the "door" mechanism reveals the long torch-lit hall plastered in artwork depicting the Knight's history. The tenants of the Knighthood hang large and foreboding over the doors at the end of the hall, which stand open to reveal the brightly lit Round Table, and the majestic crystalline dragon statue presiding over it.

Come in, find a seat, meet your teammates if you haven't already.

[alex isn't saying anything but his face says AW SWEET I HOPE IT'S FUCKIN ALIENS so.]

[wynn]

Accounts are far too varied for us to get any sort of clear picture. I'd prefer to rely on what you can discover firsthand.

[bredinthebone]

[Malina nods, though it's hard to fight the edge of excitement that comes with the possibility of aliens. Aliens are new. She hasn't run into aliens yet.

Aside from the ones already within the Knights of course.]

So basically this is a retcon mission unless we need to intervene?

[felidity]

[ kali is just so excited y'all, genuinely vibrating in her chair. the tiny sheltered cat is gonna meet aliens. this is the coolest. ]

When do we leave?

[ambitionist]

[alex is right there with her ok. he's a giant fuckin nerd. he tried to force star trek on a squire. he hasn't been this excited about anything since he was five.]

Dibs on flying the plane. [bcuz they were all really going to fight him for it....]

[airforceful]

That's not something we decide by dibs. [Carol was in the Air Force long before she became a superhero. Flying's her thing.] And don't get your hopes up too much. There are a lot of explanations that don't involve aliens. And a lot of aliens that you should really hope it isn't.

[ambitionist]

Whatever. [his excitement dies down to his usual look of bored annoyance as he picks at his bagel.]

[wynn]

You'll leave within the next twenty four hours. Sir Harvey will operate as mission leader - and she's right. For now, this is a recon mission, and I'd ask you to report back by phone once you've uncovered what's going on, so we can decide how to proceed.

[felidity]

Sir? If it is aliens, do we have permission to take selfies with them and teach them how to mallard face?

[ duck face. so up with the times, she's just covering her bases. for science. that's... like recon? ]

[ambitionist]

[HE CAN'T FUCKIN STOP HIMSELF] Duck face. It's duck face, honey.

[felidity]

A mallard is a duck.

[bredinthebone]

[ ... hoo boy. She laughs softly, before shaking her head.]

We should probably make sure the aliens aren't dangerous before we take selfies with them too.

[Oh! But an actual question.]

Do we have a point of contact in Guadalajara or are we just investigating this for ourselves?

[wynn]

By yourselves. And it may be best to approach this without any... preconceptions, as it were.

[bredinthebone]

[She nods.]

We'll head out and let you know what we find.

[And to the rest of the team:]

Make sure you have good sturdy shoes, bring a backpack and semi-professional outdoor gear. I'll take care of the rest.

[Undercover work, yay!]

We'll talk the rest out on the plane.

[wynn]

[ wynn nods curtly ] That will be all. Thank you.
