Heh! If only we knew how!

I think we need a co-ordinated plan though - I need to tell Mary if we want her to do anything fairly soon.

[Wandering_Angela]

Ok... we do need a coordinated plan.

How 'bout this:

First, at a specified time, Mary and anyone she can get in touch with (her miner friends) all individually walk out of their quarters and start making noise. Complain about something. Don't resist, but confront the guards so that the guards have to take them back to where they should be.

Second, Chin hijacks the intercom and starts playing pulsar recordings at full volume. That should keep the guards from communicating effectively with each other.

Third, if possible, Ohmega sets off the fire suppression system in random parts of the station. Just to add to the chaos.

What do you think?

Edit: I left out the monkeys 'cause as far as I know, no one we've talked to knows where they are. I think I'm going to feel out Chester though, just in case. I know someone said he's probably in on everything, since Tim put him in charge, but I'm not so sure. Would he have been so disgruntled if he knew the plan?

[ellipses]

Good - I was going to get in touch with Chester myself, since we seem to be running out of options - so I'm glad someone is going to.

I think since Mary suggested her friends could help with security and locks, I still think we can cause some chaos there.

I wonder about the order in the plan - might it be better to use Dr Parks distraction so that Mary can get out of her room?

Also - what about the Earth prisoners? They were white collar criminals - so they shouldn't be inherently dangerous to release - but would certainly add a bit more to the problems. Any thoughts?

And another thing - Hanna says the gun will fire Friday evening (so THIS evening) - but that doesn't seem to tally with the countdown. Which do we think is correct?

[Russell]

I would go with Hanna, it might have been a PMs oversight..

[Wandering_Angela]

Actually I sort of meant for all three things to happen at the same time, though I can see that wasn't clear.

It could all be triggered by Chin's broadcast.

No reply from Chester so far...

[ellipses]

Good idea - I'll tell Mary that it will be triggered by the broadcast, but to try and get herself ready a bit before that with her miner friends.

She can release either the monkeys or the prisoners - whatever she can manage.

I did email Hanna to ask her about the timing - but no reply yet.

since more minds are better than my addled one, come to #ares chat room!

(edit #ares !!!!)

[ellipses]

Just had an email from Hanna

[Russell]

OK look im sure there has to be a way of not killing them, why cant we just aim at the gate again? On elife versus hundreds is not a bad trade off. Its not great but blowing up the station is unthinkable.....

[ellipses]

Email from Mary - she's going to release the prisoners

[chippy]

i asked our Hanna about Garith and what he might be able to do:

[Russell]

The fact that we have a chat room set up for the last half an hour suggests to me that some twist is going to hapen at the last minute. My guess is the portal will start opening big horrible things with lots of tentacles will start emerging, beth will start speaking in tongues (No change there!) and we will have to destroy the portal.
