Party To Treason 2: Valdragon's Coup

[Florien]

Cpt. Frankenstein's Prison Plan

• All things considered, air was probably the safest bet. Ocean is good for transport of goods and all, but considering you're authorized to visit the prison and you just need to get yourself there after missing the boat, and remarkably, you have the tools to assemble a sizeable hot air balloon extremely quickly. You do find out however that atmospheric dynamics do still apply, and as it's afternoon, the sea breezes make it slow going across the corrosive waters below. You make it without injury or further incident, though it's already starting to drizzle.
  
• The guards aren't about to question a captain too much, unhelpful though they may be, and you do successfully trail one to the post, and get the list with little difficulty. No one tries to stop you from printing it, after all, you are technically allowed to have access to it.
  
• Captain Breakspear sees you come in and making small talk. This doesn't set him off, but the inspection story is something he can verify. He'll have to check that later, if he can. As the storm and hours pass by, no one notices him slowly pull out a camera, take a picture, and put it away... but you didn't do anything overtly suspicious, so he's not actually going to try to stop you. Hopefully this doesn't come back to bite you, Breakspear doesn't move fast unless he senses immediate danger or unless he's sure, or so the stories go, so there's a good chance the coup will happen before he can do anything about it... you hope.
  
• Your zombie plan works rather less well. While some of the prisoners believe you might be a zombie, or at least have some kind of dangerous disease, and thus avoid you, the fact that you're an officer does outweigh the risks a little especially for the more aggressive ones, and some of them try to take you hostage. This leads to you having to make a break for the exit, which you do, but the guards make sure to demand "a bonus" for shooting the prisoners chasing you, and you do end up having to turn over most of the money on your person. Otherwise though, you got out safely, minus the shiv caught in your back. Lucky it didn't hit anything important.

For the record, you are allowed to be there. Most listening posts are run by Captains like yourselves, except military ones, not political ones. If you're not cleared to be somewhere, it'll be in the briefing. You are allowed to use any method you think is necessary, and try any tactic you wish.
