[CLOSED: KEBECHET PLAYER PLOT] A thousand armies couldn't keep me out

WHO? Everyone involved in the plot to abduct Kebechet from the Regency villa!
WHAT? All the pertinent information is here.
WHEN? Somewhat after the return from the Eclipse and the discovery of the destruction of the COST villa and Grothia's abduction.
ANYTHING ELSE? Each group should write its own starter, but I've linked the pertinent information for everyone so you're not flying blind.



Those who had been abducted by the Regency in Gallipoli managed to escape, but their experiences -- interrogation, intimate psychological torture, and sleep deprivation among them -- left them hungry for revenge. Their tormentor, Kebechet, also made an appearance on the COST network while they were being held, and her insults, manipulation, and disdain managed to anger even more of COST's operatives.

It's not that there's been an uneasy peace since both the Regency and COST have been working on their objectives in Jhashch; it's more that hostilities have mostly stayed at a relatively low buzz, played out in the arenas, or the deaths of the Aranean noble family most sympathetic to COST's cause. But a few things have changed that. A COST operative, Hei, learned that Kebechet has been present on Jhashch, disguised as the meek little shabti secretary who follows Mhic Nathair around (in reality, Kebechet's rank is much higher than that of the woman she pretends is her boss). He wasted no time in passing this information on to one of the abductees, Daenerys Targaryen, the sort of woman who's full of kindness until you give her good cause to turn you and everything around you to ashes.

Much like the Regency just did to COST's villa, and to their Commander, Grothia -- a real shabti herself, escaped from her creators, helping to lead the fight against them, not someone merely acting the role of one of the Regency's clone-slaves.

Using the BCE1, Daenerys and several of her friends and fellow abductees recruited willing and able help from among other COST members, until they arrived at a plan. Breaking into several teams, they would create a significant distraction near the Regency compound, sneak in, drug and abduct Kebechet... and use PASIV technology to try to get into her head.

After that... well, before Grothia's abduction, when Daenerys approached Grothia for permission for the operation, Grothia had strongly implied that it could only end in Kebechet's death. And Mordred is involved, which makes the chances that Kebechet will walk away at the end almost infinitesimal.

Muh. It's a shame they won't just explode from the pressure instead.

... That's actually a good idea, though. Some sort of explosion... but we'd have no way of causing such a thing. Dammit, our role is way harder than she made it sound!

[ "She" meaning Dany. Because of course Mordred assumed she'd just show up and destroy shit. She kicks at the ground in frustration, then pauses. ]

This place is weird as hell. Maybe we could use that. [ Narrowing her eyes under her helmet, she looks up at the stalactite-riddled ceiling. ] I got it. Blast a big enough hole in there, and they'll think the sky is falling on their heads. It's a plan even my father would envy! Those bastards will scatter like rats for sure!

We simply need to get creative. If I had had any foresight, I might have asked if any of the COST members I know that are skilled with firearms happen to have spare gunpowder on them.

[He means 76. But no matter. Chiron follows Mordred's gaze, and then nods in agreement. It's a really good idea, actually.]

If the magic barrier shield doesn't extend that high, then one or both of our noble phantasms might be enough to dislodge them. It isn't an explosion, but it is a big noise and enough shaking to cause issue.

There's a limit to how prepared someone can be. [ That goes for both him and the Regency. ] Anyway, the barrier might go over the compound's roof, but those things will fall right through. They're normal, after all.

[ Laughing, she melds her helmet down into her armour. No need to hold back anymore. ]

A future king, and a queen's Archer... together, the two of us will bring this place down around their ears. [ At least she's calling them a team, and not just focusing on herself for once. ] I'll get as high as I can and use my Noble Phantasm. I'm sure you have something stronger than your usual attacks. A rocket-type arrow, maybe?

[ ... Not quite. ]

[Chiron is pleased that Mordred is thinking of them as a team. That's a huge step forward from her usual talk, and a far cry from the Mordred he once met on the battlefield of Trifas. All of COST's adventures have brought about a certain...well, maturity may not be the best word, but the subtle changes have felt like true growth. The kind of growth any teacher would be proud of in a pupil.

Mordred's never been his student. But she inspires that same kind of pride in this moment.]


Something like that. But if I may request that I put mine to work first though? We can assess where the rocks fell, and if there's any errors, you can give me a talking to before going all out.
