Mother Knows Best Plot

Hey so I am finally FINALLY in a position to run "Mother Knows Best" plot and have the greenlight. To keep it from getting too big and unwieldy, however, I'm limiting it to CR-mates of Brainiac 5 and to a few people that had characters organically get involved in the plot as it went on that expressed interest.

That said, if people like Department Heads like Engineering or Security want some involvement so it's like the people who do get involved are saving the day as per their orders from department heads, I wanted to organize that here so it feels like the people who'd realistically be concerned with the situation are involved.

Plot will be run basically...this week. As soon as we organize it and set it up.



Participants are:

Brainiac 5
Brainiac 4
Danny Phantom
Brenda

Red Robin
Zuko
Shoutaro
Jeka
Punchy

If I talked to you about it and forgot to add you to the list, or you need to bow out since I last talked to you, let me know.

Department heads/engineering/security people, let me know here in the comments if you'd like to be involved and we'll work out how. It'd probably be limited on-the-omnicoms-giving-orders-or-asking-questions kinda stuff, but if they'd realistically be trying to solve the thing, they'll have their say in it somehow.

As for the plot itself, I'd like to work with the players on that. Brainiac 4's plan will be to capture some people, including friends of Brainiac 5's, have him experiment on them, bring him back to himself so he's horrified with what he's done, and then she plans to kill him painfully. Because she is the mother of the year.

After that, she'd have some tech that'd bork Stacy's brain and let her take over the ship.

Danny Phantom got free from Brainy, however, and has been in hiding ever since, and can help the people once they're on the inside. So what I was thinking of doing was having it so they get a lead on where Brainy is, finally, and investigate (probably as per orders of their departments) some of them get drawn in as a trap in B4's secret lab in the bowels of the ship, Danny frees them and Brenda gets Brainy to unbork himself via the power of lurve. Then the group stops Brainiac 4 and her Stacy-mindborking machine. (The crew can possibly even salvage some of the components to use in later efforts to free Stacy?)

Meanwhile on the outside, as this is going on, engineering or something can be working on finding all the people and can get them out at the end (because they might be stuck in there otherwise with the lab getting trashed and not being able to teleport out). For that bit, though I don't really plan on organizing and running it. That'd be a very Department responsey thing run by basically whoever feels like organizing and running it.

That was the basic idea, but it's very open to change and having bits added in. What would you guys like to do?

Billy will be in the background trying to help. If any engineers other than the above named want to be on his engineering effort team, go for it!

Hells yes. Checking in!

Any chance Punchy could get tortured while trapped in the secret lab?

Absolutely. Rescue can come in time to let people who don't want theirs to get tortured to get tortured but too late for a few who want theirs to.

Brainy's gonna feel sooo bad when he's back to himself.

Oooh, awesome. I've wanted to have Punchy tortured for months and haven't gotten the chance.

Poor Brainy. /pets him

Slight problem: I'm off to NorWesCon Thursday afternoon, and if my previous Con experiences are anything to go by, I'm pretty much going to be AFK until Sunday. I'm cool with knocking Jeka out and rousing her for the Grand Finale, but if this is going to kick off now, that's probably what we'll have to do.

Since a big part of it involves B4 setting bait and Engineering and Security getting on that, I can probably kick it off while you're at con and have them working through that, and then you're going to be here after con, and we figured we'd probably be chilling on comps in the evenings, right?

I can probably start it over the next few days and kick the stage off that involves them getting grabbed after you can actually jump in.

Spiffykeen, thanks! And yes, I'll be packing my computer into my carry-on so we can do that nerd thing where we're goofing off together online while we're sitting in the same room ;)

Lol yes. Though to be fair, all the nerding during the day will be out at places doing Things so I think it's forgivable.

Nerding is always best when it comes in variety packs. *serious nod**monocle*

I'd be glad to have Dick involved. Angie can be background, but Dick's the only one I want front and center.
