Clarification regarding the sewer expedition

[healspec]

Okay so the original plan was that the exploration team would actually make it into the Tuning Towers basements but would still have to send Danny underground to find the source of the buzzing.

It wasn't decided if they would find anything down in the basements besides 'not the source of the buzzing' and the thread for it in the event post hasn't actually happened yet. I'm bringing this up because thewinningside wanted to have Zelos lead a mission down into the basements to see what they could find, which doesn't make sense if they've already been there and done that.

So the question I have for everyone involved in this. Would you rather:

A) Retcon the exploration event so that they do not actually enter the basements? This can be explained by them opting not to go in due to the possibility of danger they are unprepared for. Danny would still be sent underground to discover the giant pink rock, but from the sewers instead of from the basements.

or B) Continue with the original plan and focus our attention on the thread in question so we can figure out what they find down there?

Pros of A, we get to have a different person running another plot that different people can be involved in. Cons of A, we have to retcon something people may have already made assumptions about.

Pros of B, no retconning, and anybody who had plans does not need to change them. Cons of B, it's already two weeks past that mission so there would be backlogging of plot stuff involved.

I do not have feelings on this either way so I am leaving it up to popular vote.

Oh, thank you for taking the initiative on that!

Ravi definitely would not have wanted to risk running afoul of the guards, yeah. Once they realized they were in a relatively safe area but any further exploration would put the team in serious jeopardy, he would've opted to send Danny scouting underground rather than take that risk. And as for not taking the opportunity to destroy the equipment--I'm thinking he wanted to prioritize the buzzing and then get out of there ASAP, since they didn't come prepared to tangle with a serious threat or for sabotage.

And I think that allows quite nicely for Zelos to run a follow-up mission to sabotage the equipment and do some extra exploring! Ravi would defs be on board for that but he wouldn't want to take control of it. He already ran one, too much responsibility for him man.

He could if he wants?! Honestly I just don't have any CR Zelos could talk into doing it for him at the moment. Most everyone he knows is a highschooler. I think the only adult he talks with regularly is Karl....

Oh, well I'm down for having them work together on it if you want! Ravi's probably gained some cred for not getting anybody killed on the first mission which he could use to recruit 8|b If Zelos approached him about it that's an opportunity for CR and I won't say no to that.

Hm! We could do that :|a Zelos could send him a message on the network and explain he's looking into Thundercorp and the Tuning Towers and when he has more information he wants to...idk take appropriate measures, they will play it by ear. But said measures might be pretty drastic so would he like to help?

Does that sound good?

[healspec]

Sounds good to me! Ravi is actually out of town until the 1st but that...is technically today, so I guess there's no timing issue there after all, haha. I have an IC contact post over here if you want to throw a PM thread at it.

Something will be happening Monday night that should leave him pretty emotional but much more willing to do something drastic re: the Thunder Corp vs numbers situation. He'll basically go from being very practical and emotionally detached to having a serious personal stake in taking out their enemies. I think it might work best if Zelos contacted him before that (so Sunday or earlier Monday) and then there was a notable shift in Ravi's attitude toward planning afterward.
