briefing ♔ i'm so far ahead of the lines you've be drawing in the sand

[wynn]

WHO || Wynn, Lila, Astrid, Faye, Topher, Zero [Closed]
WHAT || One Mission Briefing
WHERE || Round Table Room
WHEN || Mid-March, 2016
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 somehow... But most of these people know each other.  Wynn is already here with Zero, who is hunched over a laptop, when the others arrive.

Like Breaking Bad and the laptop!!

[yes astrid. thank you. for that.]

[andblockbuster]

[WHY ARE ALL THE WOMEN IN THIS ROOM EXCEPT ASTRID TERRIFYING???? Topher sinks into his chair and looks haughty.] I don't screw up.

[bittersweeter]

[ lila doesn't look overly heartened by this plan, but it'll take her longer than thirty seconds to figure out every single hole in it so instead, for now, she pulls a handful of stones attached to thin leather cords out of her pocket and passes them out to everyone. except topher. faye probably won't be able to use hers, but lila will take it back when the time comes. ]

Failsafe.

[spellfile]

[ zero gives her a grateful look, shoving it in his front pocket ] Any other questions?

[andblockbuster]

[topher's still sulking over here but he blinks curiously as lila hands out party favors] ...What're those and why don't I get one?

[bittersweeter]

It's a charm that effectively blocks One's trance spell. You're not getting one because you're irritating me right now and I don't trust you not to lose it.

[wynn]

Sir Zacharov. [ there's a warning tone to wynn's voice as he fixes his attention on her. ]

[bittersweeter]

I said right now. [ she doesn't even look apologetic, or like she cares much that that was definitely not the context of the right now, but her hand opens against the round table and there is a spare nestled in her palm that disappears again when she closes her fist. her eyes lift to meet their leader's, without defiance. ] You know I won't compromise a mission. [ otherwise this wouldn't be her seventh mission from wynn himself. ]

[spellfile]

[ zero offers what is probably not much comfort to topher ] Don't worry about it, kid. He's pulled that trick too many times. It probably won't come up.

[reallywicked]

So when do we get started with you two messing around with my head? [Faye asks Zero and Topher. The sooner the better, she thinks. Before she loses her nerve.]

[andblockbuster]

[Topher perks up a bit, but his excitement is still muted.] It probably shouldn't take us too long to make the virus, so... Pretty quick.

[he gives her a lopsided smirk that's... just a little to the left of terrified.] And look, you really have nothing to worry about. This is exactly my wheelhouse. Pyrotechnics can be kept to a minimum.

[wynn]

Then I'll leave you to it, momentarily. The other cause for concern is that GLaDOS will likely be with him. Some of you have experience with what that might entail.

[pathology]

[always happy to offer some input!] She's a computer program designed by Satan who ended up in a human body thanks to magic hijinks. But don't get it twisted, she still hates humans. Wiping us all out would probably make her day. And I want to reiterate, bringing her home was not my idea and I was not okay with it in any way except for the part where she helped drag Emma's stone ass back to the car.

[andblockbuster]

So... Like... Should we bring the other robot that came in with her? Maybe he knows something.

[or maybe he wants to bring a roombabot with him to be his friend.]

[pathology]

Wheatley? Absolutely not! He's just as bad only with a British accent so you don't notice at first! And he'd just be another liability, considering we want One to try and hack Faye or whatever. What if he hacked Wheatley instead? No way.

[spellfile]

I reprogrammed him, you know. He ain't so bad anymore. [ isn't he? isn't he?? ] But she's probably right.

So let's get this show on the road.

[pathology]

[she stays quiet but makes a little face that says no. i will not trust him in a box, i will not trust him with a fox. etc.]

I'm ready.

[reallywicked]

Let's get this over with.

[spellfile]

[ WE CAN ROLL THEIR CHECKS FOR MAKING THE VIRUS HERE so can i get a computer use check from topher and/or a knowledge technology ]

[andblockbuster]

[(computer use 44) HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY, FAYE.]

[reallywicked]

[thx bro]
