@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. )

We talked about this, but my power can anchor things -- hold them down.
I can hold a soldier in place if someone else can take them out, or if we can figure out how to get one alone. To make it easier to fight them.
It worked during the raids, but I couldn't hold them very long. I think I could hold it longer now.

And [Bad username or site: jon @ snow] mentioned it would be worth drawing blood samples to see if it's the same drugs used in us that makes them so obedient and unified. [Bad username or site: clarke @ griffin]? What do you think? How fast would we need to get it to you for testing?

I'd be happy to assist with reconnaissance. My power allows me to [ he hates putting it this way but what're you gonna do - ] read minds.

I have been able to take down UNA agents with the power that I have. If it is needed, I can do it once again.

[ twist his arm, why don't you? ]

I will do my best not to kill them.

( he was going to make an attempt. )

I guess if this is really important to you, I could help out~ ❤❤ Besides, it's a good opportunity. I've found I'm able to make one or two people do my bidding, just by playing them a little tune. If that's to your liking, I'm available to discuss.

[ god i remembered to slide in his contact info for morningstar just now, thanks for the reminder ]

[ she signed up, peggy said she could!!! ]

What do you plan to do with the soldier once they have been captured and interrogated? If returning them to the UNA and eliminating them are both off the table.

[jon finds the tone of this post unsettling much as he did hafid al ghul's. nevertheless, this is rey's friend, and jon trust's rey's judgement.]

I spoke with Rey about this. If she hasn't passed my thoughts on to you already, I expect she will when she can.

Before we engage in any (further) debates on morality and tactics, we ought to determine where our agents could possibly be held in the event the soldier we capture doesn't have that intel.

[ No stone left unturned and all that. She wants to be prepared, find more possible leads rather than pinning their hopes to one in the form of a captured soldier. If anything, whatever is gleaned from a captive could tell them if they're on the right track. ]

I've been trying to find leads on our missing agents for some time now and looking into whatever I can access via my position at work. I personally doubt they're still in New Amsterdam. So I focused on all manner of transportation (shipment of exports, travel records, surveillance on the underground) looking for anything out of the ordinary. Unsurprisingly, I've found nothing; UNA records are confidential regardless of my clearance in government.

I'm still looking, of course, but I highly suspect it will continue to be a fruitless search. So the floor is open to other avenues we could explore on finding where our agents are being held. No idea or approach is too unconventional; if conventional methods worked, Morningstar would have found them before now.

Do we know where the UNA base actually is within this city? Or at least a general idea? If tracing their habits and patterns is key, knowing the starting point would be helpful.

Something else to keep in mind is the soldiers may have defense mechanisms to prevent or stop themselves from spilling any secrets in case of capture.

For information, I can assist.

[ straight to the point, as always. not a lot of words, this one.

but, how does he... well. no really nice way to put it. ]

Should I make contact with others, they are unable to lie.

[ well. mostly. ]

[ poe is still holding firmly onto his beliefs, and in fact, he will say something that suggests at much. ]

At least you're sticking to what you know.

[ that said, it isn't exactly a BAD idea… ]

i can help. however you need me. you already know what i'm good at
