Welp I just killed our OPSEC now, glhf.

Scrapped-together plan based on the leftovers of the previous plan. Will add more later.

[X] Action Plan: Dressing Down

  • General:
    • Follow Akane's lead while she's our sub-team leader. Follow Minami's lead after we regroup.
    • Be polite at all times. Especially to people who could make life difficult for us (e.g., Hyuuga, Uchiha).
    • Try to avoid triggering Minami's insecurities.
      • She's team leader, but she inherited a team who treats her as an outsider. Avoid reminding her of this.
    • When moving, minimize chatter in favor of alertness.
  • Main Questline:
    • Report to the Lord Hokage.
        • Be polite and honest. He's the Hokage.
        • Do what the Hokage says. This should go without saying.
        • Let Akane do official reports, since she's the current team leader.
        • Politely inform the Hokage beforehand that clan secrets were involved with the Goda mission, and possibly make sure we're secure.
        • Report on the circumstances that let us know of Goda.
          • Bouncer in Ise delivered information on Goda's presence.
        • Report on our plan to capture Goda.
          • 3 Pangolins, Keiko, Noburi to hide in water.
          • Pangolins to provide main threat against possible ninja forces.
          • Noburi to drain all hostiles to unconsciousness.
          • Minami, Hazou, Akane, Keiko, Kagome to provide support alongside Pangolins.
        • Report on the execution of our plan.
          • Pangolins were able to begin the ambush from stealth, but took a casualty against Goda's bodyguards.
          • Combat suggests the two pangolins engaging the ninja would fail given more time.
          • Noburi was able to defeat the ninjas within seconds, as well as the civilians (including Goda).
          • Minami, Hazou, Akane, Kagome did not influence the battle (they arrived after the ninjas were drained).
        • Report on the aftermath.
          • Executing civilians.
          • Journey back to Leaf.
        • (Discuss with the team first) Suggest that maybe the captured ninja could be added to the network after the current crisis?
          • Assumptions:
            • They can be useful as contacts/disposable assets.
            • They aren't more useful in other ways (ransom money?).
            • They aren't likely to betray Leaf (to their home country, Yakuza...).
        • Privately ask Noburi & Akane beforehand if it's OK for us to be asking him now.
        • Do this only after other important topics have been discussed.
        • Don't press the issue.
        • Things to discuss:
          • Rules of engagement.
          • Possible assets/equipment.
          • Methods of contact.
            • Messages, rumors...
            • Provide identification to Hana of Hazou's survival/well-being.
              • Make a seal that plays the Coming Home song?
          • Methods of extraction.
            • Intercept out-of-Mist mission.
            • Sneak into/out of Mist.
      • Get food & weapons as ordered.
        • See if we can get a spyglass or telescope. Ask Mari-sensei if we get the chance to talk with her.
      • Ask Captain Akane if we ought to fully refresh (sleep).
        • Decide if we should sleep in Konoha or back in a Skywalker.
    • Skywalk back to the team.
      • It's a 22 hour run (to Nagi Island, on average). Don't exhaust ourselves with a second all-nighter.
  • Meet Mari-sensei.
    • Do this if we have the time as we Resupply.
    • Give her a hug.
    • Tell her we missed her.
    • Ask her how things have been going in Konoha.
      • Her befriending of the clan head wives.
      • The political situation.
  • Complete an After-Action Report.
    • Do the report after we regroup with the team, as time permits.
    • Keep in mind Minami still considers us to be the Cold Stone Killers/outsiders.
      • Disguising the use of secret abilities (Pangolins, Mist Drain) so we might not need to kill witnesses.
        • Disguise Pangolins using physical coverings or Henge. Ask Pangolins in future?
        • Apply Misterators first, then Pangolins attack while LOS is blocked with Mist.
      • Timing between the air-team landing and the boat team was off.
        • Not a problem this time, but could have been one if the enemy was stronger.
        • Leave Sodai's Prism with Keiko's team; visual for ambush beginning.
        • Learn Whispers on the Wind, useful for signaling for ambush.
        • Maybe have Panda be part of the air-team and be unsummoned beforehand as a signal?
      • Better knowledge of the Pangolin's personal combat ability for better diagnosis of enemy ninja capabilities.
  • Talk with Noburi about research into quantifying chakra.
    • Talk with him as time permits.
    • Ask him if there has been research into this in the past. If not, continue.
      • Improve combat efficiency.
      • Gives ability for non-sensors to measure their chakra levels.
      • Gives ability for ninja to determine minimum chakra levels to use techniques.
      • Gives ability for ninja to calculate chakra usage during combat (techniques and/or chakra boost).
      • Standardize the "chakra point".
      • Determine amount of chakra used when "chakra boosting" or casting a jutsu.
      • Determine effects of skill on "chakra boosting" or casting a jutsu.
Things to do:
  • Conversation with Keiko re: Pangolins.
  • Conversation with Noburi re: quantifying chakra.


  • Make ABSOLUTELY BLOODY SURE THE PLACE IS SECURE LIKE JIRAIYA'S OFFICE.
  • What happened:
    • We (Hazou) broke OPSEC regarding clan secrets to Minami.
    • Kagome panicked and tried to kill Minami.
    • We stopped that from happening, and convinced Minami to not report either the clan secret or the murder attempt.
      • Kagome has agreed to share everything he knows to Minami.
      • Kagome has also threatened to kill everyone Minami loves if she betrays us.

*ahem* Still have to figure out what to do with Jiraiya/Mari-sensei regarding the whole Mist Drain debacle. Is there a consensus because I'm about ready to just write "Tell Jiraiya everything about the Mist Drain Debacle" and hope @Velorien doesn't shove an explosive kunai up our throats.

I support this:

What if we told J something along the lines of

"There was an incident involving Kagome transgressing against Minami. The situation has been sorted out to the satisfaction of both parties. If you order me to explain in more detail then I will, however it is the opinion of everyone (?) who knows the details that explaining the details to you would cause you unnecessary problems and/or stress."

Would that... help? Do you think? Obviously he'll see right through it and guess what's going on, but does that leave him enough plausible deniability to say "okay, don't tell me"?

And also seeing about how Konoha contract law works to see if that would be sufficient to make sure Minami doesn't tell her family about the incident.

No? I don't think it's fair to the rest of the team we do this. I prefer that we do it all together, in one room. So Jiraiya can't disappear Kagome or Minami without our objection.
 
...So one for full transparency, one (two?) for partial transparency, and one for talking things over with the team first.

This is gonna be fun, I can already tell.

Full transparency seems like the clear best option. Then again, as this is a quest with voting mechanics, it may be wise to make plans which do each if people think it important enough.
 
@faflec - One thing that should be important to call out on the Mist Drain Situation is that Kagome has agreed to some kind of therapy as part of Minami's conditions. That should be something that will give Jiraiya some relief. Though it might also be worth noting that it should probably be something other than a mindscan, and that something less invasive should be considered.

Anyways, personally I agree with this approach...

...and giving Jiraiya the option for us telling him or if he'd prefer to have Keiko tell him in the summon realm if he'd prefer an extra layer of security.
 
[X] Poll: Talk to Mari first (Mari)

But have no problem telling Jiraiya 1st. Just if we see Mari before Jiraiya should get her advice
 
@faflec You may want to decide something soon, otherwise we will be scrambling to critique and update it at the last seconds. If you can't decide, leave it for when the team come back.
 
OK it looks like we ought to talk with Mari-sensei first, and then Jiraiya? I feel like this is a situation where we ought to take her advice into account, so I'll probably write a thing saying that if she tells us to talk with Jiraiya now we do so and etc. etc..

Also need to figure out where we could go that's secure. Hm.

If Mari is trolling us as the genin we could talk to her in the skytower

For talking to Mari first, how will that work logistically? We're expected to go to Jiraiya's office immediately. Also, Mari may not have privacy seals available.

Mari first, then (maybe) ask Keiko to set up a meeting with Jiraiya in the Summoning Realm later?

As for privacy seals, I figure we could go to Jiraiya's office, or go to that conference room we used.
