"I used to break into places for a livin'. It always helped to have a man on the inside for larger places with tight security. I vote for chasing up this Morgan character. They seem familiar with the environment and it's like the old sayin' goes; 'Knowin' is half of the struggle.'"

PEFE Sinnoh

Artoria says nothing when Ren mentions everyone in the room having stealth experience.

Artoria: "Then our plan is to get back in, but more quietly, this time? And find the not-a-cat?"

Sinnoh PEFE

A small group, in and out like a ghost... A right bunch of rogues can slip through that man's soul searching for the thread that will unravel his dismay... Ghost rogues of-...

-Pent's head aches when he puts those words together...-

Susan: What's with the purple prose?

Sorry, just... Thinking.

Sinnoh PEFE

"Not exactly much for stealth, I don't think," Colton considered. "Unless the theater's halls have shadows enough for me to hide in and sneak around," he corrected.

"But a real-world intervention could make things easier. But we have to stay anonymous so Susan can't be traced and be caused more misery," he considered. "How would we go about it, though?"

-Drawing chevrons representing the group on the whiteboard-

So either we just send one small group in, or we all go in again but split into smaller groups when we get there to more easily cover ground.

Velvet Room

Igor: -Giving an intrigued expression- Are you really so sure about that?

-Stops leaning-

But regardless, that resolution may come sooner than you think. For now, however, this is where we part.

Ren: You're describing a "cat burglar", Pent.

Aria: Be he said he wa—

Ren: Don't go there Aria.

Oscar: -snerks-

Ren: But yes, it is best if we divide up into smaller groups and designate rolls within those groups. Gamma if you wouldn't mind?

-Ren holds up his holo-cane and projection of Mendel and Pathagoras and Lyuri and Himiko.-

Ren: Last time these two were designated as our support persona users. Their Personas primary forms were geared towards supporting the group rather than actively fighting. Both of their personas had combat forms which they were able two switch bewteen at will.

-The two Personas shift into their combat forms - Pathagoras looking like powered armor and Himiko like a staff-wielding priestess.-

By using that logic, we should be able to designate support users within our smaller groups.

-Ren pauses for feedback.-

Rose: Mmm...

-She nods.-

-A wave of fatigue washes over her, and she drifts back off to sleep, falling backward into her prison bed...-

-Rose groans as she stirs, not feeling particularly well rested.-

...I thought I was my own person. That she wasn't me anymore.

Is facing her... really the only way?

...I don't want to be her. I don't want her to be me. I don't...

...

...I was put up to this job for a reason, I guess...

-She groans, and pulls herself upright.-

-Rose trudges out into the open, a cup of coffee in her hand.-

Rose: ...Hey. Sorry I'm late.

-Corrin, who has probably been here the whole time, waves.-

Channah: I tried but I gave up; there's really no point unless someone actually pings you. -stretches and sighs again- You know who's a bitch? Echo.

Silas held up a sketch he had been working on, "This is my current Persona thingy... It's name is Solaire, apparently after the mercenary my ancestor worked with during the Kalos Curse. He seems to be dedicated to fighting considering the shortsword and the fire."

Des gives Rose a nod before turning his attention back to what Ren was talking about.

"That's all fine and dandy but I'm concerned with the size of the groups. Too small and we could get easily overwhelmed and trapped. Too big and we'll risk detection. We need to find a happy medium so our divide and conquer strategy can be both fast and resilient."

Sinnoh PEFE

Well I already know my 'proper' Persona, and I know it's only good for a fight...

-He sighs and looks at Susan. Something tries to click in his head-

Maybe yours will be a support class?

Susan: Maybe? Don't see why you think it would.

Just sorta a hunch.

Lane:Size wasn't wholly a problem the last time...the dungeons simply got smarter and started being more powerful to compensate.

-Tap-

My Persona's...was, centered around Fire...right now I've got a demon with access to statuses and beams but that's about it...

Jubilife PEFE Branch

-Waves to Rose-

A Support Persona? Hmm...

Doc: <Between Crochet, Tagg, and I we don't have anything that fits the bill, at least not yet.>

Mokele Mbembe and Omoikane seemed specced to attacking, while Mandrake can do statuses, but that's about it. Though since Doc's an Audino I wouldn't be surprised if whatever Pokésona he got would fit the bill.

Doc: <But I haven't awakened yet...>

Corrin: Both Yato-no-Kami and Kanna Kamui feel distinctly combat-oriented, I'm afraid. I get the sense my place is on the front lines.

-Rose gazes into her coffee for a moment.-

Rose: ...I still don't know what I'll be. I won't know until I...

...It can't be Paula. There has to be something else...

Rose: ...Connect with my true self.

Ren: I believe Doc had Mandrake. And if I recall, Pent had Orpheus. If those two are able to use their Personas as support personas, they should be able to allow smaller teams to move about safely.

PEFE Sinnoh

Artoria: "I have a distinct feeling neither a Honedge nor a Lurantis will be particularly support-oriented."

PEFE Sinnoh

Elizabeth: "Titania has access to Heal Pulse and...I think Gardevoir learns status moves?>

Christina: <Lakshimi feels more combat-oriented, and I doubt Oberon's subpersona is a support.>

Jubilife Branch

"My Pale Rider is very combat oriented since it's supposed to be a spectre of death. I envision this operation to be like a scalpel; precise and clean. However, should things go pear-shaped, I propose we come up with an exit strategy now rather than later."

Silas sighed, "My only suggestion is "getaway vehicle", I'm a expert driver of... well everything really. Seriously find something that needs a licence and I probably can drive it. I doubt this is the area for that though."

The Latias went down as the Cobalt Chaser punched through more ships.

Over the comms came a bleeping, "Thank you for clearing the air," commented a familiar voice.

On the holoscreen appeared O'Hara, Silas gave a half hearted salute.

"Glad to be off assistance."

"Diaga-3 here is the home to the government and military, we'll provide what we can for now. Let's meet at my ship and we'll discuss where to go next."

Silas shrugged, "All fighters dock on the- actually O'Hara what is your ship?"

"Unyielding Faith."

"Really? Okay, everyone dock on the Unyielding."

-The Arwing inhabited by /Duck/ parks on the Unyielding Faith. Lacking a robot body to disembark into on this ship he just kinda sits there in the fighter-

Sinnoh PEFE

I don't think vehicles in general work in the CU...

-Something buzzes in the back of his brain-

I think... We never tried though because you can't fit a minibus through the doorway we had...

PEFE Jubilife

Doc: <I guess I can do it then.>

So when we go back, we need to find any and all shortcuts back to the outside we can find.

-Marks a circle on the whiteboard-

Foxverse - Unyielding Faith

Colton's ship docks and the Lycanroc leaps out, landing three-point before standing up and stretching. "Who dis?" He asked himself, surreptitiously gesturing to O'Hara.

Sinnoh PEFE

"And even then, we're trying to be sneaky with this. A vehicle in a theater isn't a viable plan of action unless you're an action hero," Colton snarked.

Stormchaser Kitchen

"I guess. It's still less loud than some other groupchats I've been in..."

...

"Wait, who is that?"

Foxverse, Unyielding Faith

Star still exists, and she exits her ship after getting it docked on the Unyielding Faith.

"So what's up?"

-Everyone is here!-

Sinnoh PEFE

Fine, I'll step up with the other squad until I get my major Persona in and we find out who's got their hands full of noncombat Persona.
