meeting minutes/ between-move planning

[zuhrovet]

Sasha's first team meeting will cover the following points:

• Sasha is now in charge; Ashari is on another mission.
  
• Sulen is second-in-command. Talk to them if you have interpersonal problems or questions about the heptarchate.
  
• Sulen has posted brief profiles of the team members, including the dates they are from, to the internal grid.
  
• The ship is going to spend a couple of days reconfiguring and taking on supplies, then head through the rift to 852.
  
• Our first goal on arrival is to collect as much information as possible about rebellion activities.
  
• We will arrive approximately two weeks before the battle of Candle Arc.
  
• We will pose as arms traders reporting to the woman codenamed Flute.
  
• We are selling designs for personal armor with embedded weapons.
  
• Reshad will pose as our salesperson.
  

Move 2.2 will be posted sometime next week, so now is a good time to wrap up things you wanted to do before we go through a rift into a new century. Move 2.1 is ongoing. However, if there's miscellaneous prep stuff you want to accomplish before heading to 852 (supplies to purchase, training to access, data to hunt for in the grid), please post it here.

Seyli is comfortable with playing the role of a hired gun/muscle, do best when allowed to use their own name or a variation on that (which shouldn't be an issue going back in time). They happily demo their skills, if they've managed to set up a shooting range. If not they'd be game for a bit of hand to hand (they're not above fighting dirty).

[Let's definitely assume that we got a shooting range set up & Mafyyil got some practice time in.

We've been varying our names to cut down on the risk of someone realizing we're rebellion agents through historical analysis, but for the sake of player memories I think we shouldn't be perfectionistic. In particular, theming all the ship names around bees and wasps would be a bad idea if we were really serious about this.]

[I'll assume Mafyyil had some shooting practice and some basic cultural explanations. What I'm interested in is whether she even counts as "human" according to Lanterner culture...]

That name should be fine, in truth. Reflex had prompted Reshad to look for other options, but there's no use trying to teach everyone to use false identities when they're not actually necessary. And hired muscle ought to be fine, too; every mercenary troupe needs some, no?

Reshad has moderate marksmanship skills, the sort of thing you'd expect from someone who keeps up on training but doesn't live by her gun. Her hand to hand skills are poor, and while she won't hesitate to fight dirty or grab whatever she thinks might be useful to whack an opponent with, it's clear this isn't how she should plan on getting out of a pinch.
