Plot Post for November 16th!
This format of plot post is designed for players to ask questions and find ways to influence the plot. Be bold and ask what you can or can't do; the worst that can happen is that we will say no. As plots in Save the Earth are not self resolving nor on a time limit, they can evolve in many ways. Although some potential outcomes are given, they are little more than suggestion and can be changed by character action. What role you take is up to you.
The post is also open for players to plot and coordinate between one another.
State of current events:
• The Numbered's own Octavia Serket (drama8om8) and Alan Hunter (wirsinddiejager) began an unorthodox vigilante investigation of Thunder Corp.'s business in Tuning Towers with a break-in to and diversionary attack on the upper floors on the night of November 11th and have as the night of the 14th been rescued from detention by their fellows; a hunt is now announced as on for a pair of young vandals and the suspected terrorist organization - so the authorities say - that they represent.
Serket and Hunter's names and photographs are on the news as the perpetrators of the break-in who escaped holding in the raid on the police station on the 14th - and where the police are at work identifying and locating the rest on what leads they have (notably at the identified vandals' school of attendance Locke City High), one may notice that spells of civilian space-out - semi-regularly, for less than thirty-second periods - follow them.
• For better or for worse, current events are doing nothing to relieve the atmosphere of panic and paranoia in Locke City or do a thing for the city's evolving reputation - current events coverage of all forms is buzzing with talk of all the inexplicable and bizarre goings-on. Rumors and speculation circulate and bend through independent sources and features on exactly what is going on in the city; there is no shortage of conspiracy theories that can be dug up attempting to explain the connections between any and all currently-controversial local or federal parties on the so-called eco-terrorism scare. Fueled by the internet, new urban legends abound, from the peculiarly-isolated rash of lethal disease afflicting the city's pigeons to rumors of cockroach men in the sewers and a brilliant explosion in the sky over the city outskirts the night of November 1st.
More general news media has, meanwhile, in addition to the predictable, begun calling attention to a somewhat particular handful of missing persons cases - out of which the most publicized and likely outstanding by far are those of Mikasa Bito (erenplz), fifteen-year-old daughter of a Thunder Corp. employee and suspected innocent victim of hostility toward the company; and the reclusive local sculptor David Proud, whose work was previously so prominently displayed in the local museum.
• Access to the bombed areas is still restricted - however, as thorough examination and cleanup ends so Thunder Corp.'s rebuilding can begin, despite any effort to keep it entirely quiet to avoid causing further scene, some word has leaked out that the bombings have proven to be disturbingly odd, with reincarnates affiliated with the police able to catch wind of the factual details: whatever method used hasn't left a trace of evidence of conventional bombing, no radiation, chemical traces, and even minimal fire - with nothing brought to light pointing to some alternative method.
• The mission headed by Ravindra Savarna (healspec) in the city's undergroung did not result in accomplishment of its participants' declared goal: to find the producer of and stop that mysterious buzzing noise. Thus, its presence in reincarnates' heads goes on - at least for any of the newly-numbered it ought to be easy to tune out! Also remaining in place are the likelihood of witnessing groups of citizens falling under a "zone-out" effect and the amount and degree of presence by the police (both as described on October's plot post).
Events occurring in the immediate future:
• No obvious changes in the state of things to occur presently are apparent. If the silence - or rather the buzzing - is too deadly for you, either keep your head low as long as it lasts or take advantage of the room in which you've still got to move!
Events potentially occurring in the immediate future:
• As it looks as if their opposition is getting more restless - and, as it would seem, more reckless - the Enemy will be likewise getting bolder and more intent in bringing them under control.
Any player-run plots and events that would run the risk of drawing attention to player characters will run the risk of being "crashed" - participants and/or organizers of any, know that you may be contacted before or in the early stages of any such plot to approve/opt out and plot outcomes and developments accordingly.
On the other hand, just as before, feel free to leave and/or update a comment for your character(s) to the sign-up thread under our previous plot post if you're interested in trouble finding them on its own!
In either case, if you receive an event PM or Private Plurk, you may opt out!
Potential Echo Opportunities
Visits to Tuning Towers for the first time after October 23rd will continue to grant Echoes indefinitely - for anyone willing to get that close to the police! Unique incidents, investigations, and other current and forthcoming events are also liable to yield Echoes for reincarnates involved.
Please direct questions regarding these plot points to the thread below and not the post in general.

I just posted with Angela, so maybe give it a few days? Then one of us can throw up a log.

So to review:
1: Blaine does shady things with drugs. Let's say cocaine. She doesn't realize her operation is being shadowed by the police. Possibly her customer (or her boss's customer, details up to you.) Is an undercover cop on a sting operation.
2: Angela is one of the cops who busts in on the scene with warrants, handcuffs, and guns.
3: A good old fashioned gunfight breaks out. Blaine shoots Angela a bunch of times. Possibly with some kind of ridiculous gun someone loaned her because Angela would have a bulletproof vest on.
4: Blaine and her compatriots escape. Blaine does whatever she has to to deal with being a murderer now.
5: Later, Angela regenerates only to find that she is legally dead. Renegade cop revenge rampage ensues.
Anything you want to change or add to that?

The first one sounds good, if you don't mind I'll set that up to have the details how I want them, and if they don't work for you I can still change them without a problem.
The only thing about three and four...
I could see that being set up two ways. Either there is some kind of chase scene going on, and since Blaine is
for echo reasonfaster than most humans, she would not worry about escaping the policemen tailing her, but Angela somehow managed to come from the other side/was positioned in the back exist/etcOr Blaine is for whatever reason in a place that has only one exit, or one exit left, and Angela and max. one other person are blocking that one. Maybe the house caught on fire so there is not much time to make decisions or just wait until the officer has left?
no subject
Maybe Blaine just books it out the back door but Angela heads off her escape route by jumping out a fire escape or something. Angela doesn't expect Blaine's speed, and gets shot before she can get her own shot off.

Does this work?
