Mission # 1 - Third Party Observation
Who: Luke Skywalker, Mizuno Ami, Sheena, Gambit, Chien, and Leonardo
What: MISSION # 1 - Third Party Observation
When: February 5th - 10th
Where: The Jungle [Cultist Village]
Summary: A six man team has been formed by the Malnosso to monitor a cultist village to determine their strategies, plans, and any potential weaknesses.
Six Luceti volunteers arrive in the jungle at approximately nine in the morning, surrounded by the various equipment they would need for the coming mission. Although warped directly into the heart of the forest, it would be several miles until they entered cultist territory and further still until they reached the edge of the cultist village. The trip would be arduous, as there was no clear path to reach there, due largely to the fact the cultists could fly and made no trails of their own. Fortunately a crude map and compass had been provided to the field leader to guide them. For now, their primary dangers would be the animals native to the forest. And perhaps a lone Shift Hunter here and there.
The cultist village is located around a massive tree that towers like a skyscraper over the rest. Thick with vines and other plantlife, the branches of the tree is also where the cultists have built their homes. Although some of the crude dwellings are located on the smaller trees in the area, most of them are hidden in the branches high above the canopy of the forest. Flying from branch to branch are the cultists, many frequently patrolling the area. They are thorough and tireless in their efforts to guard the area. Shifters are often among them, projecting a power canceling field around them. For as exposed as the area seems, the security is tight and dangerous.
The volunteers have been given surveillance and recording equipment that they can either carry on their person or attempt to plant. If their equipment is discovered, the security will only get tighter and they may end up hunted. Their goal is to record any conversations between cultists and photograph any documents or other writings they can come across. They are not to interrogate or engage any of the cultists. Additional supplies for food, shelter, and medicine has also been provided. In five days, they are to return to where they started. If they should be discovered, they can return to that location early and be returned home.
((ooc: Okay, so thread among yourself. You can assume as much as you like, so pick any scenario that you want to tag. You don't have to be in six-way threads, so break off into groups of two or three or whatever. Feel free to use the mod post to ask questions.))

"Plenty. I figured you guys would be more vocal already. Whats up Sheena?"
no subject
"We've only got one map, and there's a goal we're heading for. I think we should divide up the sections of the map - and make copies, I can do that if you want - and split into three groups, maybe. Too many of us together is gonna be noticed."
She pauses to take a bite, surprised a little. It's good. No appetite, but it's good.
"The problem's really gonna be what we do if one set of us finds something. It might be hard to find a safe way to get us all together again."
no subject
"Sure. That sounds like a good way to approach this. Are you alright with continuing to work with Chien? I don't want to shuffle partners around too much, just to be sure we're not needlessly disrupting coordination.
As far as getting together, I would say honestly that we should keep this as a sort of base camp. Its far enough away to avoid detection, its hidden enough to avoid prying eyes, and we were careful enough with the placement that its away from any game trails. I don't have a strong desire to wake up next to a Shift Hunter. I've fought with them once before on a previous mission. It wasn't pleasant.
If possible, I'd like for us to keep in regular contact via those walkie-talkies, and I'd also like for any groups going ranging afield to try and make it back here by tomorrow evening. Being exhausted and overextended is a horrible way to go about a mission. That sound amenable?"

Once the plan has been discussed, she voices her support. "I believe this will allow us to cover more area at the same time. We'll be able to gather our information more quickly."
In terms of secrecy, it could be positive or negative: more likely that more people in more places would attract attention to one of them, but also more likely that even if it happened, the others would have time to come to their aid, or retreat.
It makes her ask Luke the hard question. "In the case of our mission failing, are we to engage the enemy or retreat?" Do we help each other, or the mission, first?
no subject
"You are to engage and help the team survive. Remember who we're doing this for. The Malnosso are not our friends, and anything they do to us in retaliation for failure is a far cry from dying at the hands of our other enemies. However, I expect good judgement to be used. Don't go suicidal on me. If the odds are that you'll die too, do not engage."
Gravely, Luke turns his gaze to the entire group. "Does anyone have a problem with that? I don't know how you guys see the Malnosso, but if you have a problem with that then please tell me now."
no subject
"I can work with that. Choose only the battles we can win, only fight if we need to." Since they were sent out here to spy, not to fight.
