[x] Action Plan: Meet Orochimaru
To avoid Armageddon initiative
Voting is currently closed, so this wouldn't actually work.
(Don't worry, the QMs won't actually enact Armageddon Initiative. They'd technically be within their rights to since it was the winning non-interlude vote, but since we clearly voted for Lore Update partly in order to prevent Armageddon Initiative from winning, and since the actual consequence would be a. the destruction of a decade's worth of worldbuilding and b. a large fraction of the playerbase (me included) throwing up their hands in disgust and walking out, it won't happen.)
I'm against this. Why are we even bothering with a dead man's switch if we are willing to give him root access to our very being?
Point of order - it's not
root access. If Oro could arbitrarily edit people however he liked just by doing surgery on them, he'd already rule the world. Heck, if he could apply any kind of significant mind control that way he'd probably already rule the world.
I'm not sanguine about the possibility that he might apply a kill switch or the like that we'd have no way to spot until we learned biosealing ourselves, but we're going to need to go under his knife one way or the other or else Hidan will spot us the second we get in blood-sense range. (Even if it needs him to check, it would be too much to ask for Jashin-luck not to make him check at any point during our setup time.) That probably doesn't require a persistent bioseal, though, and Noburi can probably check for those so it should be relatively safe; it's the chakra-reserves thing I'm split on.
Thought - we could ask Oro if he has a way to
temporarily expand our chakra reserves? That would mean he wouldn't be leaving active bioseals on us indefinitely, and also might appeal to him because it means it doesn't look like we're trying to get free augments out of him.
