Request for DANGER!

[Sejah Haversh]

Dangerously fun RP, that is.

Well, since I'm back in motion as far as RP goes, I'm finally going to ask permission to do somwthing I've had planned for a while now.

Sejah is currently confined to the Jedi complex until Figrin and Das can arrange for the Nehantite government to pardon him, and J'ktal has just moved back from Yavin.

But, while the Nehantite government knows exactly where Sejah is, and that he can't leave, it's the prime moment to, well, have him eliminated. The Death-Shadow Corps--of which J'ktal is a highly-ranking officer--are a team of very, very skilled spies, assassins, and stealth experts. A pair of them have been dispatched by the Royal Council to find Sejah, and kill him using whatever means necessarry, though to try and do it secretly so that it does not reflect poorly on Nehantish and the Sultan.

So, I need permission to have two DS Corps members gain access to the Jedi Complex, and hunt Sejah down, possibly crippling the security systems and doing a little other espoinage along the way. Oh, and they might blow through a few walls, too, depending on how far things go.

If a jew Jedi would like to enter into the mess once the assassins are detected, then that would be fine, but it will mainly boil down to Sejah, J'ktal, and the assassins in the end.

Need to know if I can do this, and if anyone is interested, please IM me or PM me or something, thanks.

[Loki Ahmrah]

I would but I've moved on from kiddie mode. Sorry. =/

[Pierce Tondry]

Pierce is a tad busy. I'd hate to have him lose to NPC assassins, too. :p

[Loki Ahmrah]

Death-Shadows, while magnificently trained, etc. should be no match for Jedi in combat. So if that's what you mean by "have him lose" then it would require a significant suspension of disbelief, imo.

[Jacen]

I wouldn't mind putting Jacen in this, if you don't mind.

[Navaria Tarkin]

Besides permission, which I dont see as a problem - if ya need me for anything let me know :)

[Dasquian Belargic]

I can throw in Jubei, if you want him :)

[Sejah Haversh]

Well, the main attack will be somewhat chaos in its direction. The desired result is to kill Sejah, but I don't think anyone but J'ktal will realize what's going on in that respect. I mainly need permisson to blow up a few things, cripple the security systems for a while, fire of a whole lot of bullets, and possibly cause a Complex-wide power outage for a short time.

I will expect that some of the things will gain a lot of attention, so a fair amount of Jedi can be involved, but a lot of them shouldn't suddenly figure out that Sejah is in danger, it'll look more like just an assault on the Order itself.

[James Prent]

After the successful kidnap of Jax Tondry - you can imagine that everyone will figure there are darksiders crawling all over the complex when this happens.

>D I love it.

[Pierce Tondry]

By the same token, you'd figure something like this would be better guarded against.

*shrug*

[James Prent]

Yeah there would be even INCREASED security measures after the previous successful attempt

[Loki Ahmrah]

The Death-Shadows wicked plot has already been foiled! Haw haw! >D

[Pierce Tondry]

I don't think I'd go so far as to nix the idea. Mitch usually runs with his creations well and can be trusted to keep things realistic.

But I'm against other penetrations of GJO security. There's a point where it just becomes silly for people to keep sneaking through holes in the Jedi defenses, and I think this is that point. There's absolutely no reason for the Jedi to keep being caught with their pants down.

Except in Loki's case. His pants are always down. He just asks for it.

[Sejah Haversh]

Well, I've bene planning this for a while, and as with all my Death-Shadow ideas, contingencies have already been put on contingencies. The Death-Shadow Corps takes things very seriously, and in the event of an assault on someplace as heavily guarded as the Jedi Order, they would seriously do their homework before scheeming several plans, and troubleshooting all possible risks and backfires.

Imagine the planning it would take to rob a Vegas casino, and then double it. That's the kind of cleverness that the Death-Shadow are putting into this. Also, the elimination of Sejah is a high priority to Nehantish, so they will go to any length to achieve their goal.

I understand that the security systems in the Order are first-class, and penetrating and disabling them is very, very tricky but I think with a few key attacks, the two Death-Shadow in the assault could pull off their desired effect to last the few mintues they would need to locate and eliminate Sejah, then escape.

Of course, they don't know that J'ktal has returned to the Order, so that'll be a fun monkeywrench. Being possibly a superior officer to those who will be attacking, J'ktal will see the signature tactics of the Death-Shadow immedately and will be a key element in foiling them.

But, I still want a lot of explosions and gunfire, because it's darn cool, and Nehantites still use guns instead of blasters. So, can I do it? I promise to take into account all possible security measures, and not GM my way through things.

[Devon Russels]

We were talking about this before, right? Well im all up for it, aslong as I dont die. ;)

[Oriadin]

Well what if there were some sort of attack on the Order, in come the explosions and the like. Thing is, it can be used as some sort of decoy. While this attack is going on the Death-Shadow also have people sneaking in. With everyone concentraiting on the attack they manage to get in undetected. The Jedi stop the attack meanwhile the Death-Shadow are in, do what ever has to be done with Sejah and are out again without anyone the wiser.

Just a possible solution to Pierce's argument which is a valid one. It would start to look bad on the Jedi to come accross as losing every attack that comes in.

[Devon Russels]

Since this is done for stealth and there are possibilities of a few things blowing up I would suggest something more secretive. I know there are very few holes in the system of the Jedi's security, but Im sure there are things that could be caculated and hashed.

Such as the possibility of the using the sewage of Coruscant to their advantage. The sewage and pipes of Coruscant, seeing as the planet is a full out metroplis, is filled with numerous pipes and sewage lines to almost every building. Getting in and out of the place could be quite easy, mattering if they are as skilled as Im supposing they are in the arts of stealth and researching.

There are numerous fountains in the Jedi Order too, and since Coruscant isn't a natural world any more, seeing as it is so urbanized, they had to be done through geo-techonology. Going through some pipes to have the water wouldn't be hard. Shutting it off aswell wouldn't be too hard aswell for someone of their expertise. One could do it, the other come up through the fountain, while the other went through another entrance.

Anyways, Im just trying to help. I know that Im game for it all, anything to spark some fun for ol' Devon.

[Sejah Haversh]

Devon, not that I don't appreciate your input, but I've already run over the approach that the Death-Shadow will use, and while stealth is nice, their second priority after killing Sejah is to not get caught. If they were just to try and sneak in, and got caught, there would be nothing to fall back on. With a grander enterance, there is a great deal of stuff to take the focus off of them, which is jsut how they want it.

I've watched enough 80's action films, and played enough espinage games to figure out the best way to pull this off, I think, and do it realistically too. And, not to be rude, because I know you want to establish your character, but this really isn't the thread for you to do it in. Were Devon there, odds would be that he would either get shot or something equally as unpleasant, seeing as he has virtually no Force training and abilities. Only some of the crew who have been here a while could really offer some resistance to the Death-Shadow, and it would mainly be to slow them up, because these guys have sleeves full of aces in this scenario.

So, is it a go? Can I do this? I've never placed an attack on the order before, and I won't do it again. This is a one-time deal, I assure you.

[Devon Russels]

Well, though you are right about my character unfit for the role and so on, I would like to say that this should be allowed. It may rejuvinate the slowness that is going about in the forums right now if a collective amount are in "one" single forum working together and interacting.

[Sejah Haversh]

Devon, there's a thing called tact.

Learn it, and don't ever paraphrase me without giving me credit again.

You didn't know about the slowness before I told you, and I also told you I was trying to do something to get the old gang back togehter and remain focused on RP. You ever jack my words again, and I guarentee you'll find it hard to RP with me, ever.

You also are not even remotely in a position of power to authorize this, and I do NOT need anyone else lobbying for my case. If I am unable to stand alone and ask for something and get it because of the respect I migth have from the others, then I do not deserve to get what I was asking for. You're really stretching my good humor, here, so don't puch it. I asked for approval from those who run this place, and last I checked, you aren't one of them.

[Devon Russels]

Im sorry....

[Sejah Haversh]

Apology accepted. Now, back to business.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I don't see any real problem with this, because I know you'll handle it well. I think one of the GJO admins need to approve this, though (I'm just a mod), but I don't see any reason why they wouldn't :)

[Kelt Simoson]

Ill try to fit in Kelt in some way if you like?

What the elf said.

I do think that, after this, we aren't going to allow any more infiltrations of GJO for a while. They're becoming just a wee bit too common, and given the heightened security now, very few persons would be able to pull off such an act.

[Pierce Tondry]

I might do a Council thread and a followup thread on improving GJO security, assuming the Council and others agree to participate. With the end of the semester coming up I should have some free time to maybe accomplish this.

[Oriadin]

Pierce, now I seem to be posting more frequently, perhaps we could do something together on this?

Sounds like a plan :)

[Navaria Tarkin]

Be happy to do a thread with Pierce and Oriadin for increased security as well as the no more infiltration threads for awhile. GJO needs to address such concerns IC and have the play chill for awhile.

so basically - I agree with everything already said :)

[J'ktal Anajii]

Okay, so c an I take this as clear to proceed? That's the indication I'm getting, but I just want to make sure.

Yup, you can run with this.

[Sejah Haversh]

Okay, well, I hope to start this thread on either Thursday or Friday this week. Planned title is going to be "Things That Go Bump In The Night."
or possibly, "Shadows in the Darkness."

In any case, I've just spent the last two hours watching X-Files while I designed up a sig and an acatar for my Death-Shadow Corps account, so those of you who want to be involved, go ahead, but I please ask that you play practically, and let me run with what I've got going. This will be an event that will affect the entire Order in some way or another, but I will explain exactly which sections of the Complex will be under attack/in action at key moments.

Pierce, as lovely as the security is, and as much as Pierce might have learned from J'ktal about the Death-Shadow Corps and their methods, J'ktal has most definitely not told him about the assault method that is going to be implemented in case he ever needed to use it himself. It's rediculously simple, and terribly effective. And, it is very much pre-planned. The Death-Shadow angents who will be involved have actually been in and about the Order for nearly two weeks prepping this assault. With the proper disguise of a brown-furred Nehantite already at the Order, that is.

So, yeah, fun will be had, and I hope to entertain while offereing an opportunity to interact in what's going to be quite the event at the Order.

[Pierce Tondry]

Given that Pierce can't be involved, I'm not sure why you addressed that paragraph to me?

[Anuis Ma'artra]

Ok to get this straight, are any and all members of the GJO allowed to take part in this thread?

Next, maybe I missed it, but will the Death-Shadows be coming in two teams. One to keep the Jedi busy and the other to go hunt for Sejah? Was simply unclear on how many death shadow's would be involved.

Other than my questions if you want a person to get knocked around a bit in the chaos, Ka' el's at your disposal as well.

[Sejah Haversh]

Pierce: D'oh! Sorry, forgot about that.

Ka' el: There will be two, possibly three Death-Shadow involved in this. By their standards, that's one or two more than necessary, but Sejah is a must-kill target.

While there will only be a few Death-Shadow, you'll see they have quite a few tricks up their sleeve, and much of the action the Jedi might get involved with won't bring them anywhere near the Death-Shadows. You'll see.
