Radio Tower Raid
So, after several weeks and several communication gaffes, I'm proud to present to all of you Lightning's Plan: Start Actually Fighting.
Now, what this is is a raid on the Goldenrod Radio Tower. Not a takeover, but still something that will say to TR, for sure, that there's some group out there prepared to mess up their plans if they get any chance. And since information was obtained during the last 4th wall that gives a real hint that TR still holds the Tower, Lightning's been planning to try and take it back. Of course, that's changed given some conversations with other characters, but the idea is still the same. Now, lets get down to brass tacks!
The Plan:
Someone, or perhaps multiple someones, will fly up to the tower roof with a Charizard/something capable of Smokescreen and fill the ventilation system with smoke. (Yes, like in those crazy spy movies/shows) Once that's done and forced most of the people inside the tower out, everyone else waiting to go in will, while in disguise so there are no identifying traits, pile into the tower and clear out everyone else by splitting into teams and using Thunder Wave to keep whoever stayed behind out of the way for a time while they look for intel. Soon afterwards, they pile back out and scatter to the four corners of the city to avoid being found out. This is, of course, subject to some changes if anyone has any ideas they'd like to bring to the table! I'm open for discussion.
However, there are a few things that you should know, first:
Things that aren't changing:
What kind of information they'll find. As this is an outpost, there's very little vital information. There'll be notes along the lines of "we're looking for X amount of Gyarados for this month", but since they could either fish for them, raise Magikarps, or steal from trainers, there'll be no real idea where to look for Rocket members or where to avoid going if a character won't want to deal with them.
There won't be a broadcast declaring the tower to be Rocket territory or otherwise...not an "official" one, anyway. Perhaps next time, because this is really just a "show of power". They'll be at the Tower again at some point, I assure you. This is just to prove that the data Ven and co recovered from the 4th Wall Raid is legit and not something Johto made up.
Things that are up for change:
Who runs into who. While the majority of the "event" is locked to PGC and Rocket members, I never specified who. :3 Goldenrod's a major town, so who knows who's there at any given time? Heck, this could affect unaffiliated trainers outside the Tower, too! I mean, if you've got something that big leaking smoke and NPCs on the street, it's going to attract attention. Consider it a CR opportunity!
And that's about it. Now, this'll be taking place on Monday, January 14th, with the IC Planning Meeting taking place on Saturday, January 12th with an IC but handwaved message saying "Get to Goldenrod by Saturday" sent Tonight, January 7th to all members of the Corps. If your character would attend/take part but you can't be around to tag, for whatever the reason, just let me know and we can work something out.
