The team already know the concept of a zeppelin or an airship. What do you hope to accomplish there?
Build a narrative of what we want done before we leave Fire? Get critiques from oir teammates? At the very least doesn't seem to hurt.
Getting Akane back may change our status as deniable assets. It will also mean that Hazō's girlfriend will be once more in considerable danger.
I might be wrong, but "be reunited with Akane" seems like one of Hazou's major goals? Personally, I find the argument of "she's safer in Leaf' to be a little silly (partially because I feel like it treats her as not as capable as us, and partially because I don't think it's that different for us players if she's dead or alive in Leaf). Deniable asset status should remain roughly the same I think? Though, I kinda want to be more than a deniable asset.
I am concerned about resisting the EN's collective spying apparatus.
Yes. That will be difficult. It is also a problem every plan aside from Leaf citizenship will face, and is mostly one which is solved by "be very stealthy and make careful plans"
Why do we need a pangolin to dig regularly for us? How will we convince them to work for us?
Because we want to build a hidden sealing base and a hidden medical base. That's a lot easier if we can dig through permafrost without resorting to explosives. How we convince them to work with us? Sounds like a problem Keiko can work towards solving? Possibly as a challenge only the best Pangolins can beat? Maybe as an opportunity to work with the Pangolin summoner? Maybe so they can eat a delectible treat in the human path? Maybe so they can experience permafrost? Depends on the motivation of the Pangolin. The idea is that we wouldn't go through the military necessarily.
I doubt a pangolin spymaster, if he or she exists, will be helpful to us, given the entirely different operating environments that the animal clans operate in. It would be difficult to turn any of the clanmen in the Summon Realm to turn on their own family. Difficulties probably exist in disguising an animal clanman as an entirely different species.
It's possible. Still seems worth a try (and gives Keiko something to do).
Why Silence Mine first then Banshee Slayer second?
Because Silence Mine has more immediate utility (mask sounds we make) than Banshee Slayer (protect us from sounds we cannot currently produce). I figure it really won't matter though.
I would ask for more precaution in experimentation. Additionally, I would prioritize sound and earbuster research over this project.
Pretty sure we don't need to tell Kagome to take precautions when researching? Also I think the implosion tests will take something like a day, and should let us create an easily deployable weapon which is however powerful we want it to be, scaling up to earth destroying levels (but most likely keeping it at '100s of ms of destruction' levels). It should be a good anti-Zabuza weapon, so long as we're reasonably sure Zabuza is actually in a certain area.
Other seal ideas and stuff are fine. I'll maybe add some tonight?
We may want to consider transplanting plant seeds to the summon realm, paired with the appropriate precaution for biohazard and ecological danger
But Noburi can't observe experiments in the chakra world?
@Radvic I'd suggest reinforcing the base with
-some material that can be fully 5SB'd-. Same with the entrance, put a tarp or a net or something over it. Also get some misterators set up.
This way if/when Zabuza arrives we have the option to turtle and VD Zabuza while he tries to get in. At Noburi's current level (VD 20) it'll take him less than a minute to drain
1000CP. Which is really goddamn high, if 500CP is considered "impressive for a low Jonin".
I was going to leave base defense plans non-explicit (since they were not really mentioned in the past update, I'm taking that as a sign that we can just assume reasonable precautions like these are taken), similar to how I was planning on leaving research base building non-explicit. If that's not the case, then yeah, we should include these and other base defense things, and also make explicit designs for the research facilities.
