briefing ♔ and he told her of the vision that he was sure he'd seen

WHO || Hasmed, Deryn, Maggie-May, Amy, Jade, Frankie, Indra [Closed]
WHAT || NYC briefing
WHERE || The Enclave Briefing Room
WHEN || Summer, 2018
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread, don't worry about maintaining tagging order.

The Enclave houses a room for Knights briefings, although it requires nothing more than a simple slide of the keycard to enter - lacking some of the pageantry of the castle, certainly. Instead of the ancient table and giant, impressive crystal dragon statue, they are faced with a simple set of office furniture, that, while probably more comfortable, seems to drive home their displacement. Still, the room hosts some impressive technology, closer to what the Knights' downtown London briefing room had to offer, complete with a holoscreen.

Some Knights get a summons to the meeting, where Hasmed waits alone for their entrance.

I remember that. That's when we met Dipper and Mable.

[ This is how he remembers things, that and the blinding eye pains of leaning on a hummer to keep it from driving over the tracks. ]

[thetokenaussie]

The thing with the Hummer, sure. [ It's going back a while but she remembers enough (Wis 17).

For everyone who wasn't there she continues. ]

They sent a transmission to stop a Hummer from going through an intersection before a train had crossed. The boom gates were out. It saved a woman's life.

[bloodrager]

One of those things sounds much worse than the other. We are sure it is the same person?

[eldritchweaver]

Not at all. But we do know that ignoring the missives seems to be a poor choice either way. And there's been a third.

[ he moves to press a button on the computer topped table and it begins to play in Elvish:

"An unmarked white panel truck parked at A&M Warehouses is loaded with lighting equipment and cables for filming. Drive it to the intersection of 5th and Lennox, where you will find a production company filming a movie. You have the keys to the truck. Deliver the lighting equipment to the production company before noon today. Do not fail.”

a translation appears on the projection screen as it speaks for those who can't follow the language. ]

[keptbiting]

That's got to be for one person at this point, hasn't it. There can't be 100 white panel trucks at the same intersection.

[uncareful]

Right. And there's gotta be more to it. Lighting equipment? Failing in that gets someone's ass chewed out, not... [ she waves a hand vaguely ] This ominous shit.

[eldritchweaver]

The instance was reported to us from a single radio... one of our own, actually, that we've set up to monitor in the region.

[thetokenaussie]

[ With a Nat 20 Wisdom Check this time, Frankie straightens in her chair. ]

Wait - This movie wouldn't happen to involve a guy named Darryl Brzezinski, would it?

[ Remember that one time she crit failed a knowledge check and legit believed that he made Porn? Yep. That's still a thing. You're welcome. ]

[eldritchweaver]

It appears to be under contract by a group called "Organized Productions" if that means anything to you.

[thetokenaussie]

[ That blank expression, shortly followed by a shrug? (Know IDEK but it would be 6). She's got nothing. ]

We going to have time for research before we head out?

[eldritchweaver]

You'll need to go immediately: but you could probably do some preliminary research on the plane.

[inacup]

So are we just observing? Stopping the delivery? Sneaking into the production company? [She also checks the clock on her phone. Because the message said it needed to be delivered by "noon today" so she's wondering just how close the clock is running. Especially if there's a plane involved.]

[eldritchweaver]

I'm leaving that decision to Sir Matera, who will act as mission leader, given that she has previous experience with this situation. [ oh btw it's the ass crack of dawn y'all ] You should be arriving with just enough time to spare.

[uncareful]

Great.

[ someone’s just gonna yawn and rub her eyes. ]

It’s what, two hours ahead of us? Three?

[thetokenaussie]

[ So she's here without coffee... that would explain the simple shrug and nod she offers Hasmed by way of acknowledging that she's mission leader. ]

We can hash it out on the plane.

[theshadowspeaks]

[ Deryn blinked at Frankie a second (Wis 15) ]

The guy who signed the autograph?

[ He was about to go get his sunglasses before they go. Forget more headlights in nocturnal eyes. No thank you. ]

[eldritchweaver]

You should be present with a few hours to make the delivery and assess the situation.

[thetokenaussie]

Yeah, that's the one. [ Acknowledging Deryn before refocusing on Hasmed. ] If we're on a tight schedule we should probably start moving.

[eldritchweaver]

Precisely. You'll head straight for the hangar. I trust your discretion in deciding how to handle what you find.

[thetokenaussie]

Works for me. [ As she gets to her feet and looks to everyone else. ] Let's get what we need and meet at the hangar.

[bloodrager]

Very well. [ indra doesn't argue, or ask any questions. just gets up and heads out of there ]

[theshadowspeaks]

Cool by me. [ Small shrug. ]
