Party To Treason 2: Valdragon's Coup

[wingedcatgirl]

So we back in the mine, got our pickaxe swinging-

Step 0:
Cats are too tiny to carry documents, on account of the fact that they are small. Lucky's collar has a different charm on it today, a ladybug charm with little cameras in the spots recording everything in the area.

1. ... how are you going to cross this deadly sea to the pitted towers of the Penal Colony?
The benefit of being a little kittycat is that you don't need a traditional boat. A simple bucket will do. Make sure it's made of that special plastic, and that it's washed thoroughly - buckets meant to carry acid tend to be used to carry acid, and we don't want any of that getting on Lucky.  Of course he can't wash it himself, but catching a mouse and dropping it in to see what happens will serve as a sufficient test, and when he finds a bucket that doesn't melt his prey, he'll have both his vehicle and a snack for the trip.

2. ...how are you going to find the listening post to actually retrieve the prisoners list?
Nobody questions a cat's motivations for wandering randomly. Or "randomly". All that equipment has to connect to the listening post somehow, and if Lucky can make a good guess as to the directions those connections go, he might be able to triangulate it. It's just like pouncing on moving prey, except it's not moving! ... And if that fails he can just wander actually randomly until he manages to find it.

3. ...Captain Breakspear, a loyalist who's stopped multiple covert attempts to bring down the government...
Lucky is just a little kittycat! He couldn't pawsibly be doing anything nefarious, he simply lacks the intellectual capacity for it! He shall wait out the storm, requesting pets and scritchies from Breakspear and the other bar-goers. He's not even worried about anyone finding his cameras, because the obvious assumption will be that someone else planted them. ... Okay he's a little worried, that'll still endanger the coup, but at least it won't endanger him.

4. ...One thing leads to another, and soon, there's a fight, and then a full-blown riot...
Oh no, Lucky is too tiny to fight! He must flee! Find a space too small for any prisoner to get into, and curl up for a catnap until the riot runs its course.
