ENDGAME - STOP THE RIG

[goneawaymod]

Who: Anyone that wants in.
What: Busting the rig open
Where: Multiple Places
When: After Saturday exploded the situation
Warnings/Notes: Probably violence.

The end is near.

The signal for the nanochains is temporarily blocked but it won't last forever. Several things need to be done in a very short amount of time to end this thing in a way that isn't disastrous.

Aren't you all tired of being nice? Don't you just want to go apeshit?

WEAPONS LOCKER

[goneawaymod]

The New Hires won't stand a chance unless they manage to break into the weapons locker first. It needs to be bum-rushed so everyone can be equipped with what they need. Fortunately the lockers hold both their belongings (including ones that were permanently confiscated) as well as the rig's own weapon supplies.

Provided they can overpower the guards, they can be properly equipped for blowing the roof off the place.

THE LABS

[goneawaymod]

After they get weapons, those who are gunning for the array need to move fast. The lab needs to be broken into so the array can be used to send a signal to permanently deactivate the nanochains - and then destroyed.

Fortunately, one of the K's is willing to let them into the main lab, but they'll likely have to fight their way to the array itself, transmit the codes, and then destroy it.

LIQUIDATION

[goneawaymod]

Innocent people around the rig need protection from Jorgmund's liquidation squads, the rank and file mercenary soldiers the rig employs for less "exceptional" circumstances than the kinds of odd missions that had been reserved for the New Hires.

One good thing is that at least the rig's normal employees aren't going down with a fight. Many have stockpiled weapons of their owns, especially those who worked for the rig with the Bey, before Jorgmund took over. Even mid-level bureaucrats are angrily joining the fight after finding out about FOX. More than one liquidator has been clocked with a thrown Swingline stapler.

But they'll all still need help and there are innocent people that need protecting. They won't be able to survive unless the New Hires shift the odds in their favor.

THE EXECUTIVES

[goneawaymod]

There are only two logical places the executives could be escaping from when it comes to transportation: the vehicle bays or the helipads on the roof.

The beating sounds of helicopters that echo through the rig's many pipes make it clear which one it is.

Anyone chasing down the executives will find themselves facing a small army of soldiers trying to ensure the escape of the executives. Washburn is out of the way, having attempted escape another way so he couldn't be killed or taken hostage, and Pestle - often on and off the rig - apparently isn't around.

But Fust, Glotfelty, Boyle, and of course Celeste Lillian are in the middle of being loaded onto the helicopters, as well as the silent members of the Board, who have helped make decisions behind the scenes, so quiet the New Hires haven't even met them, other than occasionally seeing them identified in pictures around the rig.

There are a whole lot of soldiers in between the New Hires and the execs, though.

THE TURNCOAT

[goneawaymod]

Breaking the nanochains has done nothing to lessen the chaos inside Piper 90. If anything, the mood has gotten even more desperate as the company's loyalists find the odds turning against them. It's bedlam up and down the decks, and there are plenty of innocent people in peril as soldiers attempt to sweep and contain the rebellion.

One particular group of new hires is in the middle of doing a sweep of their own, taking down enemy kill teams and keeping them off of innocent rig personnel.

They've hit a quiet part of the rig for the moment, but it's guaranteed they'll hit upon more work to do very soon...
