Double Cpt. Beck's Plan
- Saucing the cameras does disrupt their capabilities, prying open the door with glass cuts up your hands and doesn't achieve much at all. Lucky you're explicitly kind of gloopy, and can recover from such things when it's convenient. You dash in when someone opens the door to check the cameras.
- Usanako is steadfastly loyal. They accept your sandwich, and forgive you for breaking in, but refuse to take a vacation, because "Evil never takes a vacation."
- You throw a jar of jam at the signal array. Considering your marinara stunt, it's fairly obvious it's you, but by the time you've snapped one of the main antennas, you're already well on your way to the next part of the problem. Hopefully this doesn't become a problem down the line and the coup can happen in time to protect you from the consequences.
- You produce a lot of smoke with your fires, using your chef skills to make very smokeful fires indeed. Your throwing arm, however, is not good enough to distract ships via jar-tossing. Knives, however, travel better. You kill a couple rebels as they approach the beach, and manage to escape before the guards realize it was you who threw jam at the array.
Cat. Lucky's Plan
- You waltz up to the door you're not authorized to enter, and meow and scratch at it, jump off a nearby sand dune repeatedly to make noise outside, and generally make a nuisance of yourself. This does not work particularly well to get you let in. But because you need to be in for the rest of your plan to matter at all, eventually you manage to get in by waiting for a rainstorm to blow in, days later, and looking (and being) very sad and wet outside. You get dried off inside.
- This actually works remarkably well. Usanako tolerates your presence, for now, and you don't need to distract them that long before...
- your handler sneaks away and closes the airgap, utterly ruining the cybersecurity of the Kirachi Beach Listening post in a subtle way that effectively allows you to see what information they're sending and receive before they do, and edit that information as necessary.
- You are, in fact, correct. Usanako is alive, not indisposed, and the arrays are not visibly damaged, so the Independence Front doesn't even bother with an attack.
And we just need Lt. Mac Cumhaill's version of the operation, and we can move along with our lives. Well, not fully, we do need a replacement for Blixbo, who is about to die. But the point stands nonetheless.
I am the They who says it!
