THE SPIES WHO SPROCKED US - modplot

Who| Everyone who signed up
What| The Espionage Mission Against the Council
Where| Brainiac 3's abandoned asteroid base.
When| Set during the same time as "Through the Looking Glass"
Warnings/Notes| Potential gore, due to the plan to fake a betrayal. Also potential mind-borkery, due to the Herald involved. (Think similar to telepathy or empath powers).



The abandoned base of Brainiac 5's grandfather, Brainiac 3, is simultaneously perfect for a secret meeting and perfect for an attack. Built into the asteroid itself, it had labyrinthian tunnels, extensive computer monitoring systems, and countless security measures. And a faked radiation spill means very few would risk going to it.

But all the things the Council-members and the Herald are using to guard the meetup can be used against them as well. The tunnels, ducts, shady rafters, and countless levels provide ample opportunity for hiding, sneaking and bypassing certain areas to avoid getting caught. The security systems -- everything from alarms to wall-mounted stun blasters, to capture droids -- can be hacked and exploited, either by the hackers among them, or by security bypass devices similar to the ones that were used during the heist on Rimbor. Even when these devices fail for whatever reason, such as security code shifts and updates, the hackers can gain new security codes and bypasses and send them to their compatriots.

The most dangerous part of this mission is the use of the Nysheef, Harrubian ninjas that have been lent to the UP Council-members as security from the pissed off Harrubian elite that were arrested by the Legion. Juuust on the off chance that the Legion might come snooping around. But with the right amount of stealth and subterfuge, the Legionnaires can take out the Nysheef without raising the alarm, and there are plenty of places to stuff their unconscious bodies.

Brainiac 5 went all out to make sure that the Legionnaires are well equipped for this mission. Before it started, they had access to a tech armory that let them get their hands on a wide variety useful tech, such as: security bypass devices, mini-computers for the hackers, stun weapons, smoke bombs with stun gas that can knock out most sentients for hours, hard-light holographic projectors that can cast illusions over an area or disguise an individual (which can scan new things to create new disguises), stasis field devices, personal cloaking devices, high-tech anti-grav climbing gear, recording drones, grappling hooks...

Basically, if the Legionnaires needed it for the job, they got it. As usual, they also have their flight rings, omnicoms (which have useful scanners), and transuits.

A sensor sweep indicates that the Herald and the six Council-members are meeting in a particular central chamber -- with an addition two unexpected life signs -- but with the team's plans, powers, and equipment, it's Mission: Highly Probable instead of Mission: Impossible.

And the Council will never see them coming. (Which is kind of the point, really.)

Parker, for the moment, leaves the dramatics to Azúcar. She's a known sneak and a touch-based power-nullifier, anyone here with any tactical sense at all would be confused and suspicious if she walked out into the open.

When her team starts 'falling', she'll come out. A mastermind who over-reached herself, tried to run a con with two many moving parts and people she couldn't trust.

If this works, she is so bragging to Nate when she gets home.

It's fun. Doesn't matter if it's ironic, or even real on some level, she's crossed enemy lines so many times that this whole scenario feels natural. Exciting. Maybe she shouldn't hope the same is true for her allies, but on some level? Yeah. She does.

Some people share movies, stories, games— Sombra shares deceit.

And all the glorious benefits of it.

"—or maybe not." Leveling her gun at War et all, she makes a show of twisting her grip, lifting it high and raising it towards the ceiling instead. A universal sign of ceasefire. "Maybe...we can all leave here together. As friends."

Cue one purposeful shift of her attention towards Jack, Gabriel— and Parker hidden somewhere in the shadows.

76 knows the plan, knows who is taking on who, but given the fact that he'll be the one turning on Reaper, he doesn't trust that things won't go pear-shaped sooner rather than later. All he can do for now, however, is keep playing along, wait for the right moment, and then play his part. Whether Reaper decides to do what he's supposed to do is yet to be seen.

But he fixes Reyes with a pointed stare anyway, a nonverbal gesture whose meaning is obvious. Don't screw it up.

With that (possibly) taken care of, he steps up to Azúcar, clearly acting as her muscle.

"Don't think it's going to work like that."

He's just saying.
