Final Showdown??

[chippy]

well theres some big IFs
If the self-destruct is just for the cannon or not
If the mezkeen are trustworthy
If we should open the gate and see what happens
If we should target the asteroid then self-destruct
If we should self destruct - we may find we we cant destroy the gate...
If by self-destructing it will leak the sarin gas over the station (and so only the masked will survive) - or worse, it destroys the whole station
If the space monkeys overrun everyone, and fly on the cannisters to colonise the newly cleared Earth (least likely)

I emailed hanna about Garith - she said Garith will probably go out on his ship during the distraction , and hopefull we should have more info about likely threats - but by then it may be too late. Alternatively, he may be just addicted to the Halo, and running to get his fix.

I think the releasing of the prisoners is an excellent idea..

Also i think that the hero-of-old David should be able to flex his robot-metal muscles or three and also do something worthwhile...

hmm....im biting my nails here

Don't forget Dr. Park - we need that big loud *BOOM* over the intercom.

[EDIT] - Center Lot - are you there? I'll try comms with Chin Mae as well tomorrow if you've not heard back [/EDIT]

Everyone's set I think - let's do this thing

[Wandering_Angela]

Chester's in! I just heard back from him.

Unfortunately, I'm just now heading out to go camping. Not sure if we're coming back tomorrow evening or Sunday morning. Either way, I won't be able to help much with the preparations.

So I've passed communicating with Chester off to Russell_k, in case we want to release the monkeys. I'll let you all decide.

I'll talk to you when it all goes down!

Have no fear!

Timeline

I think we should use all of them - at about the same time to cause maximum chaos.

Dr. Park should do his thing with the intercom. This should be a cue for Mary and her friends to release the prisoners - and Chester to release the monkeys - and Ohmega to do something with the foam perhaps. This is going to be fun

Just to be clear - this is 19:40 tomorrow night isn't it?

Time

[ellipses]

What time?

New email from Hanna

[chippy]

I sent Garith an email asking about if hes ok and if he can help us by contacting the star people or the mezkeen.

[Russell]

As in the chat last night, Angela passed over the mantle to me to contact Chester, regarding the monkeys. As much as it would be funny, I really dont think it will be a good idea, they will attack anything including our own but I put it to a vote:

Clock

[ellipses]

Right - as far as the countdown clock goes, here is what I think. The clock is counting down to 20:00 for all of us - whatever time zone we're in. But this must be when it is going to happen for the PMs. Since all the characters are telling us that the gun will fire at 01:00 GMT, they are probably on GMT-5 (I hate having to peer behind the curtain at all - but I think we really need to sort this out)

I'm tempted to set my clock to this so I can watch the coutndown properly - or even put it forward now and see of anything happens at zero hour!!

So for those of us in the UK, everything will kick off at 01:40 BST (Ugh - another late night ) And we need to tell our friends on the station to be ready at 00:40 their time. It would have been much better if the clock was counting down in GMT for everyone. Oh well.

As for the monkeys - I hear what you're saying Russel_k, but I still think we want to cause as much disruption as possible. So my vote is for releasing them. However, as a compromise, perhaps we can tell Chester to be on standby - ready to release them at any moment if we need them.
