We are currently in the middle of something, but at the same time must do something about sayaka and the witch in the hospital. Hmmmmmm. We need to be in two places at once..... if only we have the ability to blitz the witch and then come back without delay. Too bad we don't. Sigh~
We won't look weird using our implants, we'd look like we do now. It's only in our head.

The problem is that it might be logged and then it would look like someone texted someone without using our phone and we are trying to avoid evidence.

I'd been thinking that the other girls might be in class, but then I realized that if Sayaka is at the hospital, then that can't be the case. So it shouldn't be too hard for them to get out of sight so that Ryouko can teleport them.
(Homura doesn't have a phone yet, does she? Damn.)
Okay, well in that case the only person we could call on the phone is Kyouko, and she probably can't get there in time anyway.
[] Suggest that Ryouko ask to use the restroom. Once she's out of sight, she can teleport.
[] Tell Sayaka help is coming. Warn her in no uncertain terms to not to let Kyubey convince her to contract. Having her soul put in a rock isn't even the worst thing about it. The more meguca, the fewer Seeds to go around, the sooner we starve.
[] Alert Nanami to the situation, forward Sayaka's feed. Ask her to find somewhere private and send a live feed so Ryouko has a safe place to land.
[] See if Amy can get Homura's attention and somehow spell out the words "WITCH AT HOSPITAL SAYAKA NEEDS HELP" where she can see it.
[] Have Ryouko teleport to pick up Nanami, then to Sayaka to deal with the witch.
[] Curl up in a chair so it's not obvious when we collapse because Ryouko is out of range.
Strictly speaking it would be coming from Hitomi's number, wouldn't it? I don't think we have our own number yet.

We have our own, but even if it was hitomi's number, shes here with us.

I should properly critique the plan at some point.
We can't assume the toilets won't have CCTV in them, if they do then Ryouko telephoning will be spotted and then the body vanishing can be explained by evidence. Keeping people from contracting is a good idea until we can make a sustainable method of staying alive. I would argue that Sayaka needs to walk away from the seed, we can give Nanami the exact location since we have access to mind-to-mind data sharing and location trackers are a thing. Given Homura has a number we don't need the cat to do weird things, we can just have Sayaka text her and then she can get to the hospital.

That would be super weird. At the door, sure, but inside?
You mean teleporting right?
It's a good thing Sayaka's not the sort of girl who's prone to unnecessary heroics.

We can, actually. There are some places that have an expectation of privacy, even on someone else's property, and the toilets are one of them. In a prison, maybe, this would be a concern, but not just a police station where visitors who are not under arrest can use it. I don't think that taxpayers would be okay with the police videotaping an underage girl on the toilet. That sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Now that I know Homura has a phone, I agree, although I think she should call if you're really concerned about OpSec. The cops can get a court order to read her text messages, but they can't get the audio of a phone call after the fact. Also, phone calls are harder to ignore than a text.

I'll agree with that, but we do need to check it before teleporting, also, I don't think we should be there for this witch outside of making sure we move people to it (we only need to move Nanami since Homura can time stop across town if needed, she did that for the alleyway incident), we want to minimize the amount of time Ryouko is away both so Clarisse can hold onto her sanity better and to reduce the chance that Ryouko will be found missing.
I blame the auto correct that things teleporting isn't a word.

Having Ryouko deliver Nanami and then return is better for OpSec, but riskier in other ways: we'd be leaving two inexperienced and untrained MGs to fight unsupervised.
- Location
- The infinite well of fanfics
Nanami has her tac-comp for keeping her on task and Homura has time stop, any other 2 MGs and I would be worried but they should be able to handle the situation, just leave Nanami with a message that says she must continue to hold Homura's hand until they have the seed (and possibly cubes, Kirika might be around to deliver more of them to this labyrinth). They need to be able to fight without supervision anyway given the small team and the fact we can't be there all the time.
Here's a bigger question I haven't seen asked yet: does Kyubey care about the masquerade at all?
If he does, he sure hasn't been putting any effort into it. The police apparently have evidence of two bodies getting up and walking out of the morgue, even if the chief isn't fully convinced yet. That's not just going to go away without Incubator intervention. They will figure it out eventually, even if it takes them years, and it will be more work to clean up the longer they let it go for.
If he doesn't, then why should we? We can just come clean with a flashy transformation sequence and leave to deal with the witch and avoid the whole problem of trying to come up with plausible lies because we can't tell them the truth. If Kyubey doesn't like it, he can clean up his own messes.

Well, the Incubators cannot control the effects of wishes.
Yes, but if they want to keep their masquerade they have to clean up after them. Evidence suggests that, at least in this case, they're not. And if they don't care, why should we? The masquerade is not for our benefit.

Right, so, we'll check, but know that you have the QM's explicit guarantee that I'm not going to write about the police using cameras to spy on you in the police station bathroom. goodness.
You say that like your casual breaking-and-entering earlier during the witch hunt was perfectly legal.
Perhaps he's distracted dealing with another crisis.
A minor point, by the way: you haven't tested the consciousness-characteristics of Ryouko teleporting 1km+ without you.
They don't know about that, and even if they did, the truth is a much better justification then whatever we could make up.
But not distracted enough to leave poor Nagisa alone? I don't buy it.

I don't think we are in a position to drop the masquerade yet. All the girls would be disorganized and end up just forming inter-country organisations which could end up being used for wars which is exactly what we don't need. Right now it benefits us to keep it up so the option of the MSY remains open.

You know if kyubey isn't trying to protect the mascarade I can't stop thinking it's because he knows the place will turn into a smoking crater in a few more weeks, if we push it by doing something over the top or releasing the wraights in town, he will be forced to lose a little soul juice and blast the city early for the sake of his precious 2%

I don't think we can drop it worldwide whatever we do, I just think we don't need to put in any effort to keep it up for the police officers. If the Incubators want to keep it across the world, there's nothing we can do to break it, and if they don't there's nothing we can do to keep it without already having worldwide coordination. The important question is whether they will try to sanction us for letting the police see more then they already have, and the lack of effort put into cleaning up after Nanami's wish suggests no.
[X] Have someone ask Kyubey what he would do if the police saw Ryouko teleport out to fight the witch
-[X] If it's not too bad, or if he tries to be vague-yet-menacing, have Ryouko teleport away to fight the witch
- Pronouns
- Him/He
[x] Insist to Sayaka run away, Nanami's on it
-[x]DON'T do something clever like call in a bomb threat, hang around to protect her husbando, or try and do a one-girl spirit uplifting show. She's worried, and mixed up with magic, which means if she hangs around the witch is more likely to hone in on wherever she is. We are going to fix this ASAP, but don't want complications.
[x] Loop Ryouko in on this plan, because if you get distracted by da po-po she can take over strategic command
-[x] Also keep an ear out recording the transcript of what's going down in that conversation between the police chief and the officers.
[x] Brain-mesh Nanami. She's in tactical command. Which is both trust and responsibility, but you know she can handle this.
-[x] Get her to contact Homura ASAP via her phone, or Amy, or Madoka. Get her to stop time and get to the hospital. Make sure to apologize for the suddenness and the long walk, we'll work out a better system in the future.
--[x] Have someone call Kyouko with the situation, remember to try and make it seem like not-crazy if someone ever checks on the records. You'll ask her to delete her texts when you meet in person, just in case. Let her know everyone's situation, and warn her that with everyone tied up this would be a very good opportunity for certain assholes to mess with our group (and her) in one way or another. Politely request she try and hang out close to ourselves or the group, if something else pops up she's the only one with freedom of movement we can trust.
---[x] If we call Kyouko, proxy it via via Sayaka's phone
[x] Get a status update of everyone, where they are, and what they're doing, and warn them to be careful. Hanging out in public places may not be a bad idea, if they're already there or can get their easily. If they're at home, staying put is fine.
-[x] Keep Machina in the loop as well. While you might be worried about Mami breaking out to defend the hospital, you'll just have to trust that her and Machina will trust you. And they need to be warned like everyone else anyways.
Right. Long vote, but if we're not supposed to micromanage these sort of situations, what the hell is our job?!
Basic idea is to mobilize our free MGs to take out the witch, setting up our reserve on back up, and warning everyone that with this many MG's tied up, now is a great time for QB, Oriko, Simona, or who the fuck knows from fucking with us. Even if they don't know that we're all busy, they might just randomly do something when we just can't properly respond. So warn everyone that things are happening, and if someone gets in trouble we may need to ditch the police one way or another if Kyouko can't handle it herself.
If we need to ditch the police, we can do so, either with Mami or Ryouko, but right now Kyouko is free, and I doubt she'll balk at chipping in. If she does get snarky, we can talk about alternate payment plans or just buy her dinner or give her some cubes, but I doubt she'll seriously be a jerk about it.
Even ditching the police can be done in a 'I want to go home, am I under arrest?' or 'Where the fuck did they go?' options, but right now it's not needed. Tempting the wrath of the whatever from high ontop the thing is not something we should be doing because Ryouko wants to ditch the police and kill something.
If we want to bring people into the MG stuff, we do it if we don't have a choice, or if we can do things calmly, and we check with QB first, because while he won't demand to do it or not, what he says ought to be taken in consideration before he goes up to some other MG's and says shit like 'normally I don't do this, but with these incubator weapons around I fear I must point out that these Shizuki girls...' yada yada.
And we do need to figure out what to do about grief cubes, because killing QB every time he pops up is going to get tedious, and make it clear we're not playing ball. But not right now.
Update: Edited in the suggestions to my plan. Alot of them are kinda micro-managy and nitpicky, which means they perfectly gel with the tone I already had. And allowing Clarisse to call Kyouko and embarrass with Kyouko some more (Something that I set up a little with the trust line, but I can give Clarisse even more rope on this issue.)
