A Certain Alternate Universe Arc 3 - A Certain Scientific Experiment OOC

Accelerator wrote:Sure, in that case shall we say that Ao contacted Haragi's handlers to inform them of the raid?

That be fine, but Ao has to mention Misaka being the target to get him interested.

Character: Hiroshi Saito

Role: Needing extra manpower to conduct investigation, Antiskill is asking help from Judgement. Deciding that the case sounded interesting after hearing about it from his Aunt, Aiho, Saito asked to be put on the case. Saito will be meeting up with a few Judgement members to investigate.

Connection: Saito is a member of antiskill and is assigned to the investigations

The opening post has been updated. The main thread is closed to new applications but the secondary and magic threads are still open.

Since Index is AWOL currently I'll be taking on her characters in the meantime and also running the magic thread. If anyone is interested then post an application or ask any questions here.

Due to multiple ignored warnings, Kerri may NPC Saito's character in his next False Error post. There's no point in holding up things for him if he isn't going to post any time soon.

Haragi, do you want me to handle the call/tip off or do you want to write it yourself?

Guy Li wrote:Haragi, do you want me to handle the call/tip off or do you want to write it yourself?

I'll handle it myself either during/after Haragi's interaction with Natsumi.

As a quick note, I assumed Kerri was heading for the Judgement office so if it wasn't the case, I'll edit my post.

Should I post next or should Kerri?

First come, first served.

Sorry for noticing it just now, but is Mikoto supposed to fight Haragi and Mari on the 24th? Since the raiding will be going on for a few days, I wasn't expecting it to happen on the same day she started the raiding...

I could edit my post and make some time leeway time between the 24th and whenever you feel like fighting Haragi. But I read from your post that Misaka already destroyed a couple of facilities?

Most of them have been destroyed via hacking earlier on the 24th. At the end of my post, Mikoto started the physical raids and destroyed the first facility on the list.

I'm thinking the 26th or the 27th might be a good idea for her to fight Haragi and Mari.

Quick question just to make sure though, does her success or failure in destroying the facility depends on the outcome of the fight, or will she fail/succeed either way?

Now thinking about it, its gonna be hard to make an edit now. Guy issued a anonymous call from Amai Ao to Haragi's Handler for the mission during the time Haragi was investigating the Tokiwadai dorms. If I were to hold the mission back to either the 25th or 26th wouldn't it be awkward how Amai Ao could predict how one certain facility was going to get hit out of all the facilities Misaka managed to destroy within those certain days?

Also it's Misaka's choice at the end of Haragi's fight whether to destroy the facility or not since Haragi has another reason of participating in the mission.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding/missing something that would make this a stupid question, in which case I'll apologise, but how did Amai Ao predict which facilities were going to be raided on the night of the 24th in the first place?

If he issued the call in the afternoon, while Mikoto was still hacking, how did he predict which facilities would go down via hacking and how many there would be remaining (as well as which) before the evening/night of the 24th and predict which facilities out of the nine remaining would be physically raided that night? Mikoto doesn't have specific plans for the raiding that can be read as far as to give a (approximative or not) raiding hour, does she?

Again, I'll apologise if I'm asking something stupid, but I really don't get it...

Ask Guy, since he was the one who did it. But iirc, it had something to do with a tracking software embedded in the documents that Kaede stole from him by a USB stick. That same USB stick was given to Misaka during the night of the last experiment with Accelerator.

Amai Ao used the USB to plant a tracking program on Mikoto's PDA so he's able to follow her movements. We can reasonably assume that he noticed her heading for the facility and called in backup.

Hey Haragi, I had an idea to sort of prolong the mission, technically. What if Haragi and his partner (I'll decide on someone soon) were there to observe what happened, and Misaka fought with ITEM? That way, they would be getting firsthand knowledge of what Misaka could do, and be prepared in case ITEM fails. They'd basically be the default plan in case they failed.

How it would work specifically, I'm not sure. Maybe they'd meet up with ITEM to get the details, and that they were supposed to stay out of there way and just observe. Let me know what you think.

Kerri McKinley wrote:They'd basically be the default plan in case they failed.

I was thinking the opposite. ITEM is the backup plan in case Haragi and Unknown Partner fails.

Couldn't they just try to observe the raiding for a while to come up with a plan to try and stop Mikoto?

I thought his partner was Mari as we planned way back when?

Right, I meant to say Mari. Sorry Ome.

Well, you said you wanted to prolong the fight between Misaka, Mari, and Haragi to happen another day. I meant collecting info to defeat her in the case that ITEM can't (which they won't of course) and using that knowledge for the actual fight going between Misaka, Mari, and Haragi which would happen in the next day. Besides, wouldn't Misaka dealing with Haragi, Mari, and ITEM be a little much in one night?

That's what I was thinking...

Character: Damion Koyoko

Role: Watching over Touko, believing she's powerless and too reckless to be left alone, his conscience pushing him to do so. Though he would not mention this out loud.

Connection: Damion Koyoko would walk in on the aftermath of the Skill-out brawl, that was earlier fought by Kamijou Touko and Schinichiro. He'd see Natsume and Touko leaving the scene and would be too suspicious for him to avoid confronting them about it.

I know, my point is that ITEM's trap will occur after the fight with Mari and Haragi. Hence why I'm saying that collecting data by observing her raiding and coming up with a plan might be better than collecting data from a fight supposed to happen after their own.

Well I have no problem with that, but... okay I'm lost. Misaka fights Haragi and Mari on the 24th since we have no reason to delay Haragi as of now, and then she fights ITEM on the same night? Or does that happen on a different night? If so, what fight is supposed to happen after those? The fight Misaka and Mari have later that we talked about a while ago isn't technically planned, so they wouldn't need it for then. Are Mari and Haragi fighting Misaka more than once? Because I can't see any other reason otherwise that they'd need to collect info on how Misaka fights.

Plz explain :[

Natsumi wants some leeway time so she can destroy some more facilities before Haragi and Mari confronts her is what I got from her. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Pretty much, but for a quick explanation, Mikoto will fight ITEM on the second-to-last raiding, and since Haragi and Mari's fight occur before that, I'm proposing that Haragi/Mari keep an eye on Mikoto for the first few facilities raiding to try and come up with a strategy/plan to fight with her and then have the Haragi/Mari fight take place on the 25th or the 26th.
