Plotting post: Tuning Towers redux!

Zelos ([profile] thewinningside) and Ravi have previously discussed going back to the Tuning Towers basements and sabotaging the excavation equipment to prevent Thunder Corp from reaching Wise Snake.

Here's the thing tho: OOCly, if another Tuning Towers mission happens and they do succeed in sabotaging the equipment, it will delay season 2. Would everyone be okay with this?
And, if people in general do NOT want season 2 to be delayed, would you be okay with a mission that fails catastrophically instead?

The general idea here is that Ravi actually wants to check out that building Thunder erected in the Dead District and he thinks it might be more important than sabotaging the excavation equipment at Tuning Towers. And he is TOTALLY willing to let Zelos run a decoy expedition to the TT basements while he is secretly running one to the DD. Which means he's also intentionally setting Zelos up as the fall-guy if something goes wrong with the TT mission (Zelos-mun has said they are okay w/this).

The TT mission would be publicly planned and open to whoever wanted to sign up, but the DD mission would be on the down-low and probably planned over Chris's Darknet instead (OOCly I will find a way around this if your char isn't on Darknet but you still want them involved). Ravi doesn't want any risk of cops/Blood Keys/general idiots ruining that plan, since it's essentially another recon mission.

How do y'all feel about this? Succeed with the sabotage or fail, and if fail, how catastrophically do you want it to fail?

ETA: To be clear, Zelos is NOT going to be informed that his group is a decoy for Ravi's group. Ravi's intent is that very few people outside of the DD-mission group even know it's happening.

ETA2: Chart of sign-ups so far is here, including a second sheet for votes for a delay on season 2. I used char names to track the votes because I don't know everyone's aliases. If you want to weigh in with a vote, feel free to add it to the list.

I am going to have to say sign-ups for DD are closed. 2 MC + 10 people and a ferret is about as large as a recon mission should get.

TT sign-ups however remain open, so anybody can still get involved there.

I'm willing to offer Xander for either team, although he honestly wouldn't be surprised if he was placed with the decoy team (again). He can take one other person with him via shadow mimicry.

As for rate of success or failure, I'm fine with either out-come.

He would have to do it one at a time if he was going to transport everyone through, but opening the door from the other side could work too.

Hmmm, well Xander would have no way of knowing about the Dead District mission since he's not a part of Chris' Darknet, unless Ravi wants to approach him about it in person.

With the whole broken arm and killing a Blood Key member in that log in December. Too bad for Xander since I rolled the dice and it gave me the Dead District mission.
