should we help or hinder the assassination of Jedao?

[zuhrovet]

[In the current move, Flute has just informed the team that they are to accompany a group of Lanterner assassins to a conference where the Lanterners will attempt to assassinate Jedao. This post is for reactions and plans, both in and out of character.]

Sasha's quiet as the group heads from the Catastrophe Axe back to the Cantata. She wants to have a cup of tea and spend a few hours working her way further into the Axe's grid, but work comes before play, and figuring out how to handle Flute's instructions will be a fuck of a lot of work.

Once everyone's safely on the Cantata and the lock has closed behind them, she starts issuing orders. "Grid, please ask Sulen to meet me in my office in twenty minutes, and inform everyone there will be a team meeting in the common room in one hour. Reshad, I'll want you in the meeting with Sulen."

She pulls her memory stick out of her pocket and gives it to Alaric. "Find Aymad, stick this in the minigrid--not in the main one--and see what you can find out about the watchers in Flute's system in the next hour."

Then she turns to Seyli. "I know you want to yell. Go ahead and do it. You've got twenty minutes." [These are heptarchate minutes, so it's more like ten minutes in our calendar.]

Re: [OOC: help please?]

[Hello, Vass! No worries. There have already been a couple suggestions as to what Iawa could have been doing in the past weeks; feel free to pick one or to say that Iawa took some personal time and let it be a ~mystery~. :)

Re: the current discussion of what to do with Jedao and zuhrovet's notes, I would add that there are some interesting angles that someone with Iawa's background would be ideal for bringing up, if you liked. One question that I would find interesting in this context is whether someone can genuinely be considered guilty of a crime that he hasn't committed yet, given that this is all about changing the timeline, and the ethics around that. Iawa might also coordinate with delight on proposing a plan to kidnap Jedao just before Candle Arc (and, down the line, the Hellspin massacre), which people seem to favor OOC even though IC people favor killing him. The hard thing right now seems to be getting characters to a place IC where they would be okay with a kidnapping rather than aiding the assassination. delight's character has medical expertise and it would make sense for Iawa to assist on that end. If you have other ideas, of course, you're welcome to explore those--don't feel obliged to follow through with one of these suggestions! Conversely, if you need more help brainstorming, please let us know. I apologize for being out of touch for a bit.--the GM ]
