[Well. She's almost not surprised.]

Why the kids?

why not

[ and, normally, he would leave it at that, but she did just agree to be an accessory to murder, so. ]

lots of reasons

helps me sleep at night, mostly

i wanted the best deal i could get

they're good kids

Right. Fair enough.

My forte is not murder. As it stands, all of Europe thinks I'm a murderer. Don't ask me to kill personally unless I have to.

I can give you diversions, tactics, maps, the like. I can cover our tracks, and I can likely get us in and out anywhere fast, without making noise.

If I'm going to be a part of this, I expect this to be done quietly and without either of us pinned to this.

[ that's exactly what he needs, isha. guess the sun can still shine on a gecko sometimes. ]

that's the plan. i volunteered, so i'll fire the shot.

[ just treat it like any other job. start spitballing. ]

my new suit has gloves, and i've got full armor with headgear. all black. completely generic.

reckon we should do recon on the guy. when is he alone, how long does he normally leave his rover (if his rovermates give a shit), who his friends are, their strength levels, and how often they check in.

we should scope out the camp for people with common weapons. day of, we could snatch one of theirs so nothing comes back to us. obviously none of our rovermates should be involved. better if we don't borrow from a red, either, since that's daggers' team, and he doesn't want this getting back to him

ideally, i want a clean shot at the guy's head, but i'm flexible. if you've got any bright ideas for making it look like an accident, i'm open to it.

also should figure out what the fuck we're doing with the body. we'll probably need a jeep, but i don't want either of our cuff codes timestamped at murder 'o clock. in fact, if we can find a way to give ourselves a cuff compatible alibi, that'd be fucking a

maybe we can autopilot a jeep off a goddamn cliff

[ half-joking (in poor taste) at the end. ]

I have a black uniform with a hood, and I have a mask to cover my face. I've got the glasses for recon, and my new boots are noise-canceling, so moving won't be a problem for me. My glasses have facial recognition to match with relevant data, so I just need some time and space to let it all register.

I've made notes on Green during Sephiroth's bout. We'll need to know if Simon has any Green on his rover, and Red. We've all been issued standard-issue weaponry, so that's not a problem. And I don't need any of my rover or certain others involved, this is all us.

Leave the cuffs to me. If I can figure out the system of the cuffs, I can hack it and make it not work. If we can make the tracking system not work the day of, he may as well head straight into the tundra and die of starvation or freeze to death. Unless you'd rather a more certain approach, then follow him and then dump the body to the sea. I was in one of the desolate areas during a scouting mission, I can find it again and let our friend the sea beast eat the flesh.

If the cuffs work the same way as other things do back home, I may be able to hack it and cut the life support or the tracking long enough. Same for us. We may need Dagger's help to disable our cuffs if my hacking doesn't cut it.

... There may be a blast radius accident. If it can be convincing enough. But we'll need time to orchestrate this right. I don't plan on running in without knowing everything about everyone and anyone. Simon is a moron, but I'm sure he's found friends. We'll need to tail them, or be their new best friends.

[ sea beast eat the flesh. christ. they're really doing this. ]

you're a goddamn star

[ and he means that. she's nearly an entire heist team all by herself. ]

blast radius, as in we're not the only ones who blink out? seems smart.

i vote we explore your hacking and tracking options and bide our time, like you said. i want it certain when it happens, though, even if that means wasting bullets

[ on a body that appears dead. ]

if you can investigate his internet activity, i can scope out the people he meets in person

then we can compare notes

[If they're supposed to be invisible, then what better way to kill than to let nature do the killing herself?]

That should be easy enough, all messages are public record outside of his inbox. He's not bright enough to keep his mouth shut when it comes to certain topics, even in public.

then we can regroup in a few days. fucking a

blue has some kind of forest mission shit so i'll need more time. apparently simon's benched for that

[ seth doesn't even know what the guy did yet. he should probably do his research at some point. ]

Oh that's right you're blue.

[Can you hear the snicker there?]

while you're gone, I'll do my part when I can.

[ shut up, isha!! this isn't his fault. blue was supposed involve being in charge of things!! ]

tell me about it

maps and signals and jack shit. what the hell am i doing here.

but that reminds me, actually

my deal includes an invite to the red team. got any thoughts, smart aleck?

[sux2bu]

Hm. That depends if I haven't pissed off Red's upper management and what would happen if I choose to decline.

don't know if you're invited, but dagger asked me if i was interested, and i told him i'd do this mission as a trial run. no promises of a return unless it worked out well for me, too. he seemed chill about it.

as chill as a guy asking for an assassin can be, i guess. weird as fuck, though. said he'd like me as long as i was "useful." reckon that goes for everyone else.

his team doesn't seem to be doing well, so he's probably just looking for people who will actually do shit

[ who can make the tough calls, like they are now. ]

And here I'd been thinking Red was doing well. Hard to measure when there's so much secrecy with that team, though.

I suppose my only incentives are not dying and joining Red at this point.

[Isha don't be greedy.]

he wouldn't be recruiting if he didn't have to

all that, and an IOU from me. plus something to actually do around here

I think the IOU is far more appealing than all the others.

save it for a rainy day

That is exactly my intention.

When do we start?

now's as good a time as any

no rush, but we don't need to take our sweet time either

Right. Well let me know when you start so we can coordinate.
