Calling all spies!

[livestoannoy]

So, Shaela and I have been working on doing spy stuff with Kang and Marco, and we’re wondering if anyone would be interested in joining up a small spy network. Basically, how this would work is that Kang would be at the head of it – essentially directing the spies to where they need to go. He’d be the one to decide who to approach, and talk to them about joining up. (Although if we get enough people, he might appoint someone else as head and give orders to them)

Kang will also be letting Leon know that he’s got the beginnings of a spy network, but he won’t be saying who is in it (Possibly this could lead to some overlap with the Strike Team, depending on what people want to do).

As for what they’d do! It wouldn’t necessarily be spying-on-fellow-crewmembers stuff (and even then, that’d probably be just suspicious individuals and whatnot). A lot of would be like for missions, and gathering intel and that sort of thing.

So yes! Basically we’re interested in finding out if anyone might want to be involved in something like this. (Just keep in mind that potentials will be spied on themselves before being approached. And that we’d need to find ways for Kang - or one of the current spies – to realise that they might be suited for spy work in the first place.)

Mei-Xing would be rather useful. With Batman and Motoko gone, the only people on the ship that could surpass her in stealth are probably Jeka and the Spider-Men.

And she can always go astral, which opens up a whole other level of invisibility and information gathering. And she's always down for gathering dope on people, she was doing it for Motoko before the Major left.

Pepper as Leon's secretary is in a VERY nice position for spying~ And has done so in her canon. >.>

Tagging in with dead person lj ftw.

Anyway, as I said in chat, if it's just espionage count Sofia in. Somebody can find out somehow that she can use her powers to eavesdrop and go "hey baby, how about working for me?"

'F anyone thinks this one'd be useful in that vein of work, hey, lemme know. His "powers" such as they are, if y'need, are in my LJ.

Jeka was part of the Legion Espionage Squad, and she is very, very good at what she does -- namely, bein' in ur brain, hijackin' ur senses. Also, she's a princess, so she knows how to do all of that polite political double-talk stuff, although it's not her strong point. She's mentioned her background in espionage a few times, so I figure either it's gotten around to Kang or he hears "illusionist" and goes "heck yes!"

And Ax will do it if Marco can convince Prince Jake it's a good idea :P

Celena would perhaps be a good one for this. Part of her job for her kind was to gather information and should cases arise, perform certain tasks. Among her abilities that may influence her capabilities include illusions, telepathy, a near unfaultering memory. Her illusions can be kept up relatively long term. She can perform surveillance from the air with little chance of detection via the illusions.

Though she is still fairly restricted to being a dragon at current, I am thinking on her looking further into methods of shape-changing via her energies or other methods in time.

I'd love to get Turlough in on this.

Points in his favour:
a) Prior experience (with the Doctor)
b) Expert in technology
c) Works both in engineering and in the medvac
d) Experienced telepaths have trouble reading him. (They can't read his intentions, they keep shifting)
e)Quiet, makes no waves.

Points against:
a) His prior experience ended with telling the Doctor the full story.
b) Quiet, makes no waves (how would he be noticed).

All the elf has to do is change his spell loadout. Disguise Self? Invisibility? Detect Thoughts? Symbol of Insanity? Uh, might need an official ruling on Scrying...

This is something Iniss has experience with, though it's doubtful Marco would be willing to use him or work with him for a couple reasons, I dunno about Kang

Hello, my name is Gandrayda, I can shapeshift into things and most of my canon appearance in Metroid was to pretend to be space pirates so I could spy in them 8Dc

yeah like what Ish said. and agree on overlap with strike team (which Dean will be speaking with Leon about how to re-organize with the Major gone). Dean's got knack for some of this with hunter investigations.

Well, seeing as we already got Mei-Xing and Jeka, let's toss in our favorite web-slinger! Not only does he have his usual collection of powers, the costume he wears now (the Iron Spider costume), is easily jam packed with gear that could help in be all sneaky and stealthy!

It's not a power that she advertises a lot because it's rather uncomfortable to do on the ship, but Rhiow can 'sidle,' meaning she steps sideways out of the visible light spectrum, in essence making herself invisible. She can still be detected by motion sensors and infrared, though.

However, there are probably still quite a few people on the ship who don't realize that the kitty talks, and nobody pays attention to animals. This would certainly work to her advantage.
