Light in the Storm
Part 2: Skirting Silence
Navis: Lyntael.exe, Vigilance.exe
Operators: Rogan O'Conaill, Lance Fitzpatrick (by proxy)
Other Characters: None
After her ordeals in SciLab, Lyntael has spent the past few weeks retreating from just about everything and though she is recovering slowly, her condition has forced Rogan to admit some uncomfortable truths to himself, even if they aren't quite the steps forward his brother might hope for. In the mean time, his work has continued and though Lyntael herself still doesn't know much about the situation her operator has been steadily wading into he is nevertheless taking her with him on his latest venture, in the hopes that she is at least 'functional' again.
Having accepted a new contract from Varda Afonin, his Sharoan mafia liason, Rogan now heads to an out-of-the-way hiking and camping shop located at the edge of the wilderness in the Okuden valley, a location believed to be the surface cover for an underground facility housing information which Varda requires a copy of. Rogan has done most of his research in advance by now and has his plans more or less laid; when we join him at the beginning of the mission, Rogan has been in the area for two days already and scouted the locations of every relevant piece of security he might have to worry about at ground level.
Once again, Rogan plans to have Lyntael move alongside him through the the underground facility's internal nets; without more advanced intel available to him on what waits there, any assistance she can provide to make covering his tracks easier will be useful. This time, he intends to jack her in only once he has found the physical entrance to the facility, and plans to cover her presence in the net with a mask from his side.
Rogan's side of events will be primarily a story-driven exploration, but Lyntael will encounter defences on her side, which she will need to overcome. Initially, running may be an option, but further along it will cease to be possible. The defences which Lyntael will need to fight will come in the form of battles, similar in most ways to regular busting battles, excepting that her targets will be part of the facility's own defences, rather than viruses. The possibly enemies will be listed and registered below, however statistically speaking they will all be equivalent exactly to one of Okuden's regular virus list. Exactly what defences she encounters in each battle will be determined by the mod handling this phase — they will be set and picked exactly in the same manner, and by the same formula as normal virus battles (including chance for MD; she will be having five battles in total, so should ideally find at least one over the course of the thread).
After four such encounters, Lyntael will come up against a more dedicated piece of security software, which can serve as her 'battle 5' mini-boss. Exactly what this is, I am more than happy to be surprised by, and leave to the discretion of the presiding moderator; I ask only that it be mechanical in nature, non-living and non-sentient, and vulnerable to electric attacks (it need not be specifically weak to them, though that would be nice... just not immune to or absorbing of them).
Eventually, Lyntael will progress towards the goal of the mission, where there will be a further story event, with no combat and no need for moderator input. More specifically, it will be more of a non-event, as Lyntael will find herself unable to face it. Despite her failure in this respect, Rogan will still acquire everything he needs to in the end and the mission will conclude with them leaving.

Event Synopsis:
-- Story Telling. Rogan and Lyntael prepare to infiltrate the supposed underground facility.
-- Story Telling. Roan gets started, finds his way in, hacks Lyntael into the facility's network.
-- Battle. Lyntael progresses alongside Rogan, encounters several battles against the system's automated security systems.
-- Battle. Lyntael encounters a mini-boss grade security system, design at mod's discretion.
-- Story Telling. Lyntael discovers Vigilance on guard, can't continue.
-- Story Telling. Conclusive events, Lyntael extracted, Rogan leaves.
Sub-Plot rewards: None specific, however, battles should be conducted as regular busting battles, including regular battle rewards and MD rolls, etc. For this reason, the security system units are mechanically and statistically identical to the Okuden virus pool; they are simply renamed and reskinned, for scenario thematics.

Debilitator
Description: Auxiliary drone used as a support system in the facility's defences. This system appears as a mushroom-like device, with many gas emitters ringing its upper 'cap', which are fed from compact canisters held within the body of the device.

Restrainer
Description: Auxiliary drone used as a support system in the facility's defences. Restrainers, as the name implies, are intended to physically restrain hostile targets and prevent their movement, rather than attacking them directly. They appear as a tight ball of densely wrapped cables, presumably concealing their inner workings, and will vigorously attempt to bind and restrain any target identified as hostile to the system. (Functionally, this is a Viney)

Bind works on a per-action basis, instead of per-turn, and is maintained by physical contact with the source. A target suffering the effects of Bind also becomes weak to Fire. Bind is canceled by attacking the source with Fire or Slashing damage, or spending one or more actions to escape with good RP quality. Using Fire to remove the Bind source also damages the trapped victim.
Special: Immobile.
- Binding cables can be attacked for damage.
Cable Dispenser
Description: Auxiliary drone used as a support system in the facility's defences. Restrainers are not technically a part of the facility's defence systems, but they work alongside.

Special: If the Ring Log crosses a Lava Panel, it will burst into flame.
Blast Turret (Heavy)
Description: Heavy version of the Facility's blasting turrets. Due to their destructive nature, the blasting turrets are deployed sparingly within the facility's nets, however they are self-mobile.

Debilitator
Description: Auxiliary drone used as a support system in the facility's defences. This system appears as a mushroom-like device, with many gas emitters ringing its upper 'cap', which are fed from compact canisters held within the body of the device.

Disabler
Description: Auxiliary drone used as a support system in the facility's defences. Disablers appear as small, highly mobile, light mechanisms that dart across the ground at high speeds.

Restrainer
Description: Auxiliary drone used as a support system in the facility's defences.

(Functionally, this is a Viney)
HP: 80
Attack Damage/Effect: 10 Wood + Bind
Attack Accuracy: A
Attack Description: Seeks and wraps enemies by sticking writhing cables through the ground.
Element: Wood
Possible Rewards (Per Unit): Rope1, Zenny

Bind works on a per-action basis, instead of per-turn, and is maintained by physical contact with the source. A target suffering the effects of Bind also becomes weak to Fire. Bind is canceled by attacking the source with Fire or Slashing damage, or spending one or more actions to escape with good RP quality. Using Fire to remove the Bind source also damages the trapped victim.
Special: Immobile.
- Binding cables can be attacked for damage.
Cable Dispenser
Description: Auxiliary drone used as a support system in the facility's defences. Restrainers are not technically a part of the facility's defence systems, but they work alongside.

Most of the janitorial drones within the system net seem to be malfunctioning in some way.
