@kylo.ren - november 4, 2511; locked to morningstar agents and contacts

Investigation into the leak that lead to the raid on Morningstar agents in September strongly suggests that the source might, in fact, be survivors of the crash in June.

It is time to consider moving on the UNA.

However, this poses several problems, particularly given that our goal is ultimately to reclaim the captured agents.

The first is determining their location; Morningstar has been unable to track the captured agents and it is likely that the UNA has a means to nullify or otherwise cloak the implants much in the way Morningstar has been able to do with the Displaced following each drop-off.

The second is extracting the agents once we have determined their location; this will place any rescuers directly in the path of UNA soldiers who are, as experience suggests, difficult to engage directly. It is also likely that in accomplishing this, the UNA will immediately suspect Morningstar which will lead to an elevation in hostility.

The most efficient way to acquire the information that will allow us to do both is to go to the source: capturing one of their soldiers.

To that end, the UNA has a base locally. Scouting for information will be difficult though not impossible.

Ideally, we will be looking to pin down movement patterns and shift times before moving onto outright capture; the soldiers work in groups. We will also need to secure a site to hold them once they’re in our custody.

Those that wish to assist are welcome, particularly those with abilities and experience beyond that which Morningstar can provide. Additionally, anyone wishing to weigh in on this plan or offer alternatives should do so now, as the longer the agents remain in UNA custody, the greater the risk to the rest of us.



( OOC NOTES:
1. while the tone of this post might give the impression that kylo ren has determined his course and will not be moved, we are in fact very open to suggestion and brainstorming.
2. this network is locked to morningstar agents and contacts. if you would like to be involved and have not signed up with morningstar yet, the page is here.
3. any ideas discussed here will likely be referred back to in the upcoming event, despite the fact that this network is happening prior to knowledge of the event.
4. mods wanted to clarify that there is only a single base in the city. )

Not as much risk as going in blind, I would think.

I know nothing of engineering, but it seems like a simple enough modification, if we can get our hands on the basic model. I imagine they would be legal to purchase.

an off the shelf toy drone doesn't require any hacking at all for operation, but we'd need hardware for cameras and video uplink to set up surveillance from a distance.
getting into a una drone might give us access to pre-existing feeds, or at the very least, some camouflage to fly in areas that would be otherwise off-limits

it just depends on what the goal is

Perhaps we could send out the toys in the meantime, while we work on hacking the UNA drones.

[ squints at 'we' but whatever, man, it's all in the name of freedom (or something) ]

just tell the toy shop you want to snoop on your hot neighbors
maybe they'll find you one with a camera already built in


[ enjoy your assignment, jon ]

[oh, ok, he's buying the drones.]

Should I bring them to your place or leave them at the safe house?

[he absolutely cannot operate the drones.]

you should fly them, obviously

Fly them to your building?

[daisy do you want drones with video uplink or do you want a lot of upside-down recordings of un-adjacent buildings]

i can't do both, dude
if you can't fly them on your own, watch a youtube video or phone a friend

I'll get someone else to help me set them up.
