Meta Recapture log [Player Plot]

Who| Cortana, North, and a small volunteer crew
What| Recapturing the Meta
Where| Some out of the way corner of the universe
When| A handful of days after Cortana's post
Warnings/Notes| N/A


Theta had managed to scatter the first handful of breadcrumbs, so it doesn't come as a surprise when Cortana uncovers more in her search, little disruptions in tampered-with video and audio littered with number strings no one outside the Legion would find significant or meaningful. It's encouraging, a sign that whatever happens to the AI once they're taken, Theta's still in there and on some level himself. For her part, Cortana's been strewing her own trail of bait fringed with points of dissuation, luring and herding the Meta into smaller corners where they can engage him, until the time comes when the need to act outweighs the potential benefit of waiting any longer.

It's a fairly standard warehouse - hard to have much variety in those, North supposes. Though the storage manifest gives him pause as he's scrolling through the briefing, and he can't help repeating the primary item classification aloud, as if that makes it any more or less real.

"Can you name anything more American? Other than being drunk, fat, and stupid?"

It made sense to her. Agent Maine. Being hunted by a bunch of other states. And herself. If he's at all suspecting a trap, he might as well be thematic about it.

Tadashi blanched.

"It might be a good idea if I covered the exits," he said. "Semi-controlled fire powers and all."

Cortana's voice comes from the radios. She's left her body behind on Legion World, where it is presumably scaring the daylights out of any unsuspecting custodial staff who let themselves into her quarters. Her purpose in this fight is purely digital. A body would just be a distraction.

"Try to minimize accidental explosions." Is that a slight emphasis on 'accidental?' Eh, probably everyone's imagination. "No incendiaries."

She told you, Tadashi. She told you this mission was not going to play to your strengths.
