Infiltration Plans

Characters: Tohko Amano, whoever she asked to show up, and any random person who feels like possibly dying for a good cause.
Setting: Floor 11, 28th, early evening.
Format: I'm starting in prose, but I'll match you.
Summary: Tohko, after getting Dax's note, has sent out a few notes of her own and told people to show up here to discuss plans. How well these plans will go is anyone's guess.
Warnings: If people like Ganon or Sephiroth try to show up, there will be arguments and scuffles to chase them out. I don't think that'll happen though.

It was cold in the eleventh floor, and the water was frozen, which made standing a little difficult. However, Tohko didn't think anyone would come in here, due to how cold it was..which was why she had told people to meet her here to discuss things.

She had sent out notes and tried to get other people involved. All she could do now was sit on the cold floor and wait for people to show up before starting to form plans. She had never been a leader of a fighting group..but there was a first time for everything.

Especially now.

Don't worry, you're not alone.

[Diarmuid drops a blanket he brought along from his room around her shoulders. The cold affects him less than it would others, so this meeting place doesn't worry him for himself--just for the others who won't be as fortunate as he is. Hopefully, the cold won't distract them too much from the point of the meeting.]

And yes, I have destroyed your note. What's going on?

[He can guess it's something to do with what happened to Dax and everything else that happened last night, but what exactly would lead to Tohjo of all people to organizing such a group?]

[Tohko had been semi-lost in thought, so Diarmuid surprised her with his sudden entrance and the blanket. However, they weren't unwelcome, and Tohko smiled as she wrapped it around her.]

Thank you..I'm glad I'm not. And thank you for the blanket..and for coming here. I'm sorry about all the secrecy.

[Tohko then lowered her voice to a whisper.]

I got a note from Dax before he died. He left some information for us in the Administrative part of the Tower for us to find. He placed security there to prevent the other administrators from getting in though, so it will be a long, hard battle to get it. I..was hoping you would help me and anyone else who was interested in fighting for it. Please..I would really appreciate it.

[Diarmuid blinks in silence for a moment. A note. From Dax? He knew the administrators sometimes sent objects to people to taunt them, but an actual letter that wasn't meant to hurt?

His voice is as soft as hers when he answers, though there is shock and concern coloring his words.]

I don't wish to doubt since my doubt about Dax before seems to have been horribly misplaced, but how do you know this is truly a letter from him? It could be a trick of Ruana's to find those Dax was working with and punish them for being so brazen.

Not all news was kept secret. Puru Two had found out after sheer curiosity, and quickly grew angrier. Bad enough she had thought her life was just for the kicks of others, but now this suicide run? Needless to say, when she meets the group, she is less than pleased.

"Just what the hell do you think you're doing!?"

[Tohko's voice is still set in a whisper. She's not taking any chances right now.]

That would be true..if I had actually helped Dax with anything. He's sent me two notes before-one mainly for me and the other mainly for Enoch, but I hadn't spoken or done anything with him before or after that. I was never that out in the open with rebellions. I can't see any reason why Ruana would want to kill me, since I hadn't worked with the man before.

Tohko looked rather puzzled when Puru burst onto the scene. She hadn't remembered telling her..did Kyoko let her know about this? Who had spilled the beans? If this mission was going to fail before it even began, it would be pretty horrible. Looking determined, Tohko spoke up in a whisper.

"Please, calm down. I have no idea who told you about what's going on here, but there's no reason to shout. If you don't want to get involved, that's fine. I understand, and I'm not going to force you. But don't ruin it for the ones who are trying to make sure this works. Please."

[Lancer is sitting to the side, letting his eyes dart from one guy to another. His note isn't destroyed, but its clenched tight in his hands.]

[He's always been more of a solitary fighter, so he'll sit and listen and follow any good plan that will come up.]

[At least this time, they'll be better than just an angry mob.]

[There was no way Tohko was going to let this turn into an angry mob with no point. Dax's dying wishes had to be carried out. This was much more serious than some mob. However, she smiled and nodded at Lancer when he came in.]

I'm sorry that I had to be secretive here..do you know why I called you here?

[He gives a quick nod.]

I assume all these others were either called by you or brought along for the same reason?

Do you know if anyone else has gotten a similar note?

[Diarmuid rubs at his chin with his hand. If what Tohko said is true, then it wouldn't make that much sense for Ruana to send the note to her unless the woman was so desperate that she was hunting down everyone Dax had ever contacted.

Somehow, he doubts that. If it's something that Ruana seems to absolutely not be at this point, it's desperate.]

Forgive me, I haven't talked to many people about this because things were so vague. The only other person I talked to was my roommate and that is because you also sent him a note, correct?

[It was Tohko's turn to nod.]

Exactly. I would have just done this by myself..but after seeing that tape and knowing how harsh this situation might get, I thought it best if I asked around and saw if anyone was interested in helping.

Not yet..it's possible that other people have, but I wouldn't know who, if any.

[Tohko smiled and shook her head.]

Don't worry about it. It's actually good that you thought of that-if we're placed in a similar situation later on, you might be able to save our hides. And yes..I sent a note to Lancer too. He's a good friend of mine too, so I didn't want to leave him out of this.

Looks like you have a few people here. I know Diarmuid and I are fighters, at least. But do you have a plan for us to follow?

Shion hadn't been at work that day, the revelation about the souls had hit him hard and then Dax's death... He had been sick and spent the rest of the day in his room staring at his notes and wondering at the hopelessness of everything. Dax was dead, Reno was gone... They weren't even themselves, just souls... Souls trapped in this place and put into new bodies...

But about an hour ago he had caught himself, Turks, rookies or not did not sit around moping and if Reno were still here he would have dragged Shion to the gymnasium floor and had him running a million laps until he stopped thinking. Just because Reno was gone didn't mean Shion could forget everything, go back to the useless person he had been before.

So he had went to train, before heading down to the library, he had some research he wanted to do. He came across Tohko on floor eleven, she looked like she was waiting for something.

"Tohko..." He only knew her from the library, "Are you alright?"

Was anyone alright? Was there any way to be alright?

"Ruin it!? This operation is ruined the moment you try and do something!"

Puru Two didn't think she could get so emotional from this, but she was. She glares at Tohko more, raising her hand up at the young yet older girl.

"Do you even have weapons equipped to deal with them? And this small of a group too!? You'll all just be wiped out instantly!"

I do, actually. It's pretty loose, and it will probably need to be changed as we move forward, but I do have a plan, at the very least. Healers and people with good defense skills will be put in the back and sides. The fighters will be put in the front and the middle. People have been in the Administrative floor before, so he'll guide me up at the front, and we'll start our search while trying to avoid and distract the other Administrators.

"And your yelling is not going to improve our situation."

Tohko actually stood, and while she didn't glare, she looked determined. She was not going to back down here.

"We have weapons, and there are more people in the group than the ones you currently see here. And it is better to try and die than sit around and do nothing. I am not forcing you to participate, but at least do not ruin it for the rest of us."

Tohko tried to smile and nodded at Shion.

"Oh, good morning, Shion. I'm..fine for right now. Don't worry about me. How about you? How are you holding up?"

"So this is your great plan?" Puru Two's funnels came from behind her, all aimed at Tohko. Was this girl serious? Would she really face death for something so pointless?

"Just how far are you willing to go?" Those beams to be charging, yet not firing. She waited on Tohko's answer, and only then would Puru Two decide what should be done. She wanted to see just how far she would go.

So it's an infiltration? Do you know what we're looking for other than Jason's very punchable face?

Tohko put her mask of a smile as she drew her dagger..and had it at her own chest.

"If I knew that this would help everyone in the Tower survive, I would do it with a smile. That is how far I am willing to go. Now..what will you do, Puru?"

[Tohko couldn't help but chuckle at that.]

Yes, actually. Dax left behind some information for us to retrieve. He used some retrieval units to guard it and he said the other Administrators couldn't access it..so we can, even if it will be a hard fight.

Do you have anyone who specializes in sneaking around then?

[Lancer could probably do it, given his tracking skills, but his specialty is still front-line combat.]

If you don't, we'll probably have to take the time to find someone who can do it, or learn it for ourselves.

Puru Two stares for a moment longer, raising an eyebrow at the dagger. With a frustrated sigh, the funnels retreated back behind her. Impossible to convince her to stop.

"Make room on your team. I'm joining."

Still smiling, Tohko sheathed her dagger and nodded.

"Welcome aboard. Good luck. We're all going to need it. And thanks for joining."
