should we help or hinder the assassination of Jedao?

[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.]

Continuing planning

"If you think clean up is going to involve combat of any kind, then yeah, I should stay behind to clean up. It sounds like it depends on Ione's drug?" Seyli wasn't entirely sure how that would work "Someone with more training on sneaking should be in charge of getting him away from the scene." They tap their fingers against their thighs for a moment before continuing. "The last time I needed to look entirely different, I just wore a waist cincher and a tight dress, makeup, left my hair down. It's not the best disguise, but it's an easy one."

Sasha blinks. Joining this crew has effectively doubled her acquaintance with people who wear dresses for any reason: it's not a Naxorian style, and security consultants tend to optimize for more pockets. (The fashion for courtesans at security parties, before Sasha joined the rebellion, had been for very tight pants and flowing shirts.) This might explain why Sasha is suddenly envisioning Seyli in a Naxorian wedding coat, only in black brocade with a leather belt, and without trousers. They would seem... taller.

"Yes, if Ione's drug can affect short-term memory, our options increase," she says, seriously. "Or I think Alaric mentioned an exotic?"
