There's Something In The Water Plot Post
[obligatory]
Word of Mods:
There is a reservoir out in the country, which is the primary water source for Locke City. There are several aquifers that supplement this, but 75% of the water comes from the reservoir.
The water is contaminated before it goes into the treatment plants, which fail to detect/remove the contamination. The source of the contamination is the part of the reservoir where the water is taken: Julien will see that the water is cloudy, like something's just been dumped into the lake.
If they keep watch on the area, they might be able to catch a tanker coming up to the water and dumping its payload of glowing pink goop into the water. They are also welcome to attempt to stop the tanker.
A few days ago Julien posted about tracking down the source of the contamination, and several characters expressed interest in helping out. Some volunteered to find out whatever they could. We could handwave those discoveries and some of the planning setup, maybe even finding the dumping site and keeping watch on it, and go right to shortly before the tanker shows up.
Julien wants two groups - one small sneaky group to investigate, which will include him, one more combat-oriented group hanging back a little to try and help the stealth team if they're caught. He's not a leader and no leader's come up to take charge, though. Whether the fighters stay too close or too far, whether people in or between groups work well together is entirely up to them. Julien would prefer to just mark the tanker's plates/follow it, but he won't be able to stop someone from going and interfering.
So, plot with me! Questions? Thoughts? Do you have a character who'd come along? It's okay if they haven't responded to his post. What group would they prefer? Would they care to lie in wait around the bushes and try to stop the tanker? Combat-oriented characters could do that too, Julien can't stop them.

...and I do harbor the terrible mental image of what might happen were Arthur to fall into this source water and breathe some of it in. (Someone else would have to drive the school bus home, probably.)
no subject
oh dear. XD Julien would rather Arthur didn't come along because he's the opposite of subtle, but he wouldn't stop him. Might ask for him to be in the rescue group and thus far back, but reservoirs are big and they'll end up waiting around for a good while before the truck shows.

Not bringing Arthur along is a VERY GOOD IDEA, probably. XD Best way to handle him would be to just distract him somehow with getting him to make sure it's not contaminating the ocean water. At the beach. The beach that is nowhere near the reservoir. And he'd still show up with the bus later if anyone needed a ride. ;D
