This is impossible ... We're fighting off a peer force while also watching for an ambush from a potentially unlimited variation and manpower holding group.
You know at this why don't we just have Black Swan carpet bomb the surrounding area
Probaby mostly the fact that we are also in said area. That and they would probably dodge. Also collateral damage.
 
"Handyman will taunt Ete before using the forested area as cover to hamper the summons."

Maybe Horizon is a lot wetter than im used to but this just seems like a good way to start a forest fire

My plan has it that they get distracted by MW's summons so that LL and Handyman can go for the offensive.
Besides, some people have stated that is likely that Ete has nullified her contract with Scarlet Maturity on leave, so she can't make her army.

Like I've said before, Ete knows she's on thin ice and she's sacrificed practically everything to be in Powers/Crusade. Starting a forest fire on the foliage/hill risks the VIP she's supposed to be rescuing since said VIP's home will now be surrounded by a sea of fire if she deliberately tries to set it ablaze.

She's spiteful but she's also self-interested.

Have we confirmed that that's possible? That SM can rescind his boost without triggering the life drain? Because thematically that's not soemthing I'd expect him to be able to do.

That's more credit towards being a rational actor than I'd be willing to give her if I was sure she's sober AND sure she didnt blame us for Printemp's death.
 
Regarding the issue of Ete and a possible forest fire, while we don't know if SM can cancel his power boost/deal with the devil, here's something important to consider. Just because Ete got an upgrade that expanded her powers, that doesn't mean she's incapable of using them how she originally used to.
 
To me, a luck check something that's usually outside our control. Which makes me think of a few things

1) C4 may or may not explode, and may or may not collateral us.
2) Stockpile somehow comes to his senses, realize something sus is going on and tries to stop his team.
3) The actual New Dawn comes to our rescue, which may or may not be a good thing depending on how Socialite Butterfly responds. (May or may not start playing Cluedo with her)
4) Socialite Butterfly, or rather her clones, fuck up and gets caught up in the midst of the chaos.
 
Perhaps the luck check would be to see whether someone on the enemy team decides to focus on a favorable target over an unfavorable one. Like, if someone takes some bait to enrage them, or decides to focus a squishy target over a harder one.

For instance, if a plan where Chatelet goes on MW's Chimera to fight Seraph wins... well, I could see White Hawk or Sunlight Knight either trying to directly take down Chatelet, or the Chimera itself, because Chatelet can't fly on her own.

That's actually one reason why I prefer 'Please work' over Bases Covered and Have Faith. Sure, the Chimera isn't attacking Seraph on that one, but it'd probably be harder for White Hawk to try to take down several Nevermores over a single big target because we know he has super-strength.
 
There were also the Mona luck checks, causing the Fumbles situation. And Ellie failing meant we didn't get info on the Rebound situation. Meaning a luck check can be "can our character get luck into managing the correct response".
That's not the impression I got. The fumbling as far as I can tell were flavors more than anything. During the Mona stuff, it was more if we got stuff from the community in the Apiary. Luck check on rebound was whether she actually got a legible response. Then during when Monarch crashed the memorial, the luck check there was more whether Princess would respond in our favor
 
Publicly, it was Ọsanyìn's brainchild, designed with an expert team of engineer and scientists.

Privately, there were a few key names. You might learn who they are!
Grrr, annoying. After the near confirmation of the Ladder as a psychic siphon I'm thinking it's a lead into the Woman in Blue since the construction predates Nora and she called herself the mother of psychic technology. We gotta look into this.

On the one hand, with our fill-ins, we have the one in Elysium itself.

Then we have the one that includes testimony from Osayin himself.

And then there's the one with insight into Valkyrie herself.

But all of them also have other details. Bumblebee has letting us see Rosemary, insight onto why Scarlet Maturity respects her, how he killed her, what the Defiance Unit were like. Goodnight Avo has getting us some damn ideas of what exactly the Interlocutor is. Stairway to Heaven has Theodore, one of the names in the Woman In Blue's flashback.

And then of course, there's Hand, which will get us to put a name to the faces of the Philosophers, even if I don't think there's a direct connection. (I think that the Horae Guard and Elysium scheme is on a separate axis than the Philosophers, because Scarlet Maturity, a tool of the latter, has something against the former for cutting in line to power. Faust probably called in some favors, but I don't think the Philosophers are behind Elysium over all.)
 
[X] Plan Have Faith

This is the conservative plan. It allocates the resources we have to best deal with the threats we know about. Assuming it works, it puts Justice Unlimited in a better position to extract. The problem is that, aside from assigning heroes to cover each other (which is a must!), it doesn't mitigate interference from Socialite Butterfly. Furthermore, it seems like the "natural reaction", which SB might be counting on. She almost certainly has an ace to play still, since her current actions haven't indicated how she plans to kidnap Yara. Still, getting ourselves in a better position so we can react to the inevitable pivot could work.

[X] Plan: Get back inside.

This is the aggressive plan. It attempts to draw Crusade into a fight with the clones, mitigating both enemies capabilities. The risk is whether enough resources are allocated to address each individual in Crusade. If a Crusade member is able to eliminate their opposition, it could be disastrous. I prefer this plan slightly more because it increases the chances of SB losing her greatest asset, her anonymity (assuming she's on site directing her clones. If she's not that's great for us since her clones hopefully aren't smart enough to react to changing circumstances). She may want Yara, but keeping her secret is her current top priority.
 
A bit late to say this now considering we've been solidified on making Yara being a psychic, but with the lesson imparted to Yara to not follow in Yazmin's footsteps, I think we can safely say we shouldn't give her some of our Hydrokinetic builds :V
