Riddick is pre-Moebius vet, and he was infiltrated for the last Jaunt, either as somebody's bodyguard or an assassin or something along those lines. I'd love for him to get recognized for his previous Jaunt self, if that's doable.

[powersthatbe]

Certainly doable. Assassin-wise, he'd probably have been from the Raj, one of the Wolf's Children, or a Hashashin. Bodyguard-wise, he could have been from anywhere, there were international delegations!

[someonetocarry]

I'm gonna go with Hashashin, so that the agents that take Malik in are the ones who recognize him, so that they each have a backup of sorts XD 'Sides, if Neeshka is in this Jaunt, she'll automatically wind up with ties to the Wolf Children sorts, so I wouldn't wanna double up.

[powersthatbe]

That works!

[notinthecards]

In which case, Riddick & Remy may have tried to kill each other last time they did this... Remy was a Raj assassin.

The first thing that's going to cause him a flash of deja vu this time is a massive quilted balloon with a painfully blue gondola called the Seventh Sky - only in his memory, its balloon is sleek and red, and its goldola and fittings are brass, and where it now has outrigger cargo pods, it should have sleek propeller engines.

New flashbacks? :: peers at this with a grin :: And questing sense again, why not, if it'll drag him off to anything new...

[detectivewonder]

Questing Sense will draw him to Minako.

New flashback - the sight of a zeppelin dumping trash will trigger a memory of something being jettisoned from the Zeitgeist - bodies, both still and mobile.

Hijikata was infiltrated last time, although he will not reprise his role this time! He was, I think, a masked sensei of Uchinaa. Doing...something, who knows.

[powersthatbe]

Investigating this time, though, right?

[hakodate]

Right! The better to "wtffffff" at all his strange feelings of deja vu. \o/

[detectivewonder]

Gotcha. The first thing that's going to cause him a flash of deja vu this time is a massive quilted balloon with a painfully blue gondola called the Seventh Sky - only in his memory, its balloon is sleek and red, and its gondola and fittings are brass, and where it now has outrigger cargo pods, it should have sleek propeller engines.

Reprising infiltrator, in some sort of information gathering/spying role for Uchinaa, working in tandem with Souji

[powersthatbe]

Okay! Since you're reprising, no worries about deja vu - the Infiltrator Info post will be the place for you to get sneaky updates!

I know I was initially thinking of having Liara have Investigated last time, but after some thought, I'm going to go with her having been an Infiltrator instead, as a pharmaco-alchemical expert specializing in the enhancement of mental faculties and other mind-affecting compounds.

[powersthatbe]

Is she investigating or infiltrating this time?

[brokers]

Oh, sorry. She's Investigating this time.

[brokers]

Liara and Riddick are planning to combine their memories of the battle on the Zeitgeist in hopes of teasing out more context through their combined perspectives than either of them has on their own.

Not really expecting anything to come of it oocly, but we figured we should give you a heads up.

Yua's Pre-Moebius and has a plot important role this but I do have some questions: was Captain Phoenix around during the last one for did she show up after the Travelers' adventure?

[powersthatbe]

She was not around last time!

[purseownerisme]

Alrighty then!

Was the Jaunt last time any type of influence on Phoenix? I admit I'm having a bit of trouble trying to figure out a good story for the previous time myself.

a million years late.

Armin is pre-Moebius, and Min Cho was his infiltrator self - an orphan from Joseon, raised by his sister after a house fire when he was 10, who is a genius and scientific child-prodigy. Getting into University at the age of 12, he was recruited by the evil secret organization Vexiator, who saw both his talent and that he and his sister were vulnerable enough to take advantage of. The brainwashing was not as effective as the other scientists assumed it would be, and the Mantis broke out and killed all the scientists, with the exception of the Cho siblings - but they both believed the other to be dead. Min didn't feel his life was worth living anymore, with everything taken from him - but he refused to let everything his sister had sacrificed to make him a scientist be in vain. So he dedicated himself to becoming the best scientist in the world.

Obviously, this included learning from some of the current scientists who vied for such a title, and Blitzkopf understandably topped that list. This is what lead Min to, by whatever means, make it aboard the flight of the Zeitgeist to meet him.

update: Blitzkopf was not, in fact, ON that flight, as he would have been busy finishing up the Zeitgeist's replacement.

[neverfeltthatway]

Ah. But was he supposed to be? Rather, did people believe he'd be there? I can't find where the flight of the Zeitgeist is actually described, what it was about
