Party To Treason 2: Valdragon's Coup

[Florien]

Cpt. Sony and Cpt. Microsoft's Prison Plan

• You look high and low for someone willing to loan you a vehicle to cross the sea, but find no one willing to do so, not without a bribe or the law saying they have to. This is partly out of an abundance of caution and partly out of the cost of fuel and the dearth of small vehicles at the arrival point. You end up having to scrounge for plastic, much as Captain Blixbo did before you, and achieve much the same result, struggling to stay afloat in a terrible little raft too flat to prevent the acid from splashing onto you, but not so flat it capsizes and drowns you both in horrible fashion. You eventually make it across.
  
• You search without any real plan or idea for how to get anywhere for a good while. You end up seeing all kinds of sights, like the Acid Silos, the centrifuges, a dead prisoner no one's found yet, the deep cells, a vaguely familiar looking avian of enormous height, emaciated and nearly blind from the acid fog he's endured for the past year (it's quite thick down in the deep cells) several very rude guards, and after many hours of searching, you do find the listening post.
  
• Staying and eating is certainly a plan. PAPZY! and such products are provided. However, Captain Breakspear isn't one to let anyone be, and he saw you come in. He's already dealt with everyone else in the bar, and soon you're being asked all sorts of questions while you eat your food, some of which you don't have a good answer for. Your pictures are taken and Breakspear is going to try to verify your stories, and you begin to think it might serve you better to come up with more active plans rather than relying on chance alone. The storm passes and you continue on.
  
• You try to sneak out, this goes mostly fine, though you on multiple occasions have to try to physically fight prisoners. The guards don't help you, but the prisoners on their own aren't much of a threat. Only one gets close enough to get a shiv stuck in you, and most of them avoid you, simply because they'd rather not pick a fight with a group as an individual, which you are, being two people. You should probably get that shiv looked at though, and whatever the acid did to your legs while you were on your raft, while you're at it. You get out safe aside from that though.
  

Hm. I should make it clearer what I'm looking for in your operation conduct. Perhaps you'll all perform better under a bit more scrutiny and pressure from me, and with a bit more clarity in what's likely to work out for you. I'll grant you access to my wisdom after all of you... who are relevant of course. Captain Walson is in very deep trouble and does not have to attempt the operation unless she wishes to dig her way out of trouble. Either way we won't be waiting for her. But we are waiting for Captain Mac Cumhaill and... the cat, Lucky. Once both of them have tried their hand, I'll do a full rundown of what I think all of your problems are, and how exactly you are undermining me, as well as, if I'm feeling generous, some areas you do not need improvement in.
