OOC PLOTTING: TIMELINE & LINK DUMP

Heya guys,
For those of you that have me on plurk, you'll know what is up, but for those that don't, here's the basic run down of this post: there is a lot of things going on and we're all getting super confused but also know we all need to know what is going on! Ahhh!! So my plan is to stick us together a timeline of everything that has happened so far and more importantly what everyone has been doing around these events and who is sharing that info with who.
So how do you do that - well take this handy dandy form below and stick in the relevant information ( links are appreciated, but not required, just a sum up of what's more important will do ). I will then compile it into a series of events for quick easy referencing afterwards. BUT IN THE MEAN TIME, compile all the things ur character has done and in the next couple of days we'll get things together.
WHO: Lakshmi, NPC [ NAME ] [ FACTION ] | SHARED WITH: Everyone
WHAT & WHEN: Lakshmi talks to Seconds @ funeral. <- stick your link here if u like
OUTCOME: Lakshmi has used grief on nobles, it was super effective, she has struck a deal with them that allows them one free buffet lunch for the hive, etc.
ADDITIONAL INFO / LEARNED: Rabos are all allergic to shellfish, Seconds don't like olives. Lakshmi now suspects it was the shellfish hating Robos all along!

TIMELINE - DO NOT RESPOND
THREADS
no subject
WHAT & WHEN: Day 16-17 Annie and Misato discuss findings from goo spying and decides to anonymously tattle on the two Carpathans who were plotting against Black using someone named "Casiria" as the go-between. They used a Hyrypian bug, stuffed it with goo, and sent it off to drop a note at Black's camp.
OUTCOME: The tattling is a success and the info wasn't traced back to them, but they got two dead bodies.
ADDITIONAL INFO / LEARNED / OTHER: n/a
day :012
WHAT & WHEN: Early day :012, the above parties cross paths while seeking out any trace of what caused the sense of dread from the night before. Also, people are made out with.
OUTCOME: Rust's (full-on ridiculous) tracking skills turn up some tracks leading to a perfectly circular scorch mark. Further examination of the tracks reveals that either two creatures came from the camp and one returned, or one left the camp and returned with another in tow.
Also, people were made out with.
ADDITIONAL INFO / LEARNED / OTHER: A little bit of additional info on the two creatures from Gildor.
Sam and Shiro discussing taking a census.
Bucky has been attempting to match the tracks to specific individuals in the camp, but the state of the terrain at the time has made it difficult.
Consensus seems to be that the scorch mark was made by a vessel of some kind.
no subject
WHAT & WHEN: DAY 16 Lakshmi and Misato ask to meet a Second to talk about the nature of the Nectar, how one becomes a Second and suss out the Hyrypian stance on the conflict
OUTCOME: As above
ADDITIONAL INFO / LEARNED / OTHER:
- Nectar-sensitive children/teens are picked out then trained to become Seconds
- Nectar-sensitivity sometimes results in strange side effects. Visual disturbances and vertigo are common, sometimes an appetite for odd things (like chalk) as being a Second is like having a kind of elemental tie to the planet
- Seconds are only needed to refine raw nectar into usable form, afterwards any technomancer would do
- Hyrypians probably want to select an ally who can preserve their way of life
no subject
WHAT & WHEN: DAY 18 Misato catches Rhan after Lavellan's death
OUTCOME: As above
ADDITIONAL INFO / LEARNED / OTHER: Rhan is working on something (wink wink) but she won't tell. In her own words: "Oh, this and that. Nothing you need to worry yourself over just now. Not that I'm being coy to spite you, just that it's not terribly relevant yet. When something comes of it, I'll make sure you and everyone else knows."
no subject
WHAT & WHEN: DAY 17 Rust, Lakshmi and Misato pretend to be rogue Carbauschians to approach Ilya Mor of the Meradan with an under-the-table offer to exchange dirt on the other factions. Ilya Mor won't be exceedingly generous, but it may be a way to get a little extra information or to feed false intel to the Meradans to manipulate their actions
OUTCOME: As above
ADDITIONAL INFO / LEARNED / OTHER: n/a
day :021/ongoing
WHAT & WHEN:Rust poking his nose into the murders, hassling witnesses, trying to find out more about the victims. He'd particularly like to
GET HIS HANDS ON THE CORPSESknow how they were killed and by whom.He's also keeping an ear to the ground to make sure no one uncovers ~The Carbauschian Connection.~
OUTCOME: STILL IN PROGRESS, STILL TRYING TO TOUCH A DEAD BODY
ADDITIONAL INFO / LEARNED / OTHER: The dead Carpathans were likely stabbed to death, though how brutally is debatable; the murders were (unsurprisingly) intended to send a message.
The Hyrypians have been extremely thorough about removing all traces of the murders, including the bodies. There's very little information on their detective or how the investigation is going.
Political shit/gossip! Everyone is tense and pointing fingers.
- The Meradan are widely suspected of being behind the murders, since they've been at odds with the Carpathans from the beginning of the pilgrimage.
- The Carpathans are keeping to themselves, the Descendants don't want to be stuck in the middle.
- There's discussion in the Descendant camp of some kind of peace talk, and the Descendant Lavellan sacrificed himself for seems to be involved.
SIDENOTE: If your character would want in on this (or witnessed anything pertaining to the murder), please hit me up! Rust cares way, way more about the murders than the political stuff
because he is a blockheadand would be fine passing it on to someone else. (He will be pickier about joint murder investigations, but that's also possible.)no subject
WHAT & WHEN: poisoning the most promising Meradan competitor on Day 13
OUTCOME: The cute Meradan rider was poisoned successfully, and ostensibly without Bellamy having been detected as the culprit.
ADDITIONAL INFO / LEARNED / OTHER: n/a
no subject
WHAT & WHEN: Day 055, pre-mission chat with Rhan where Bellamy got some deets about the Station and how Rhan's brood operated/how they had been operating since they hatched.
OUTCOME: see above
ADDITIONAL INFO / LEARNED / OTHER: n/a
day 22/ongoing
WHAT & WHEN: Day 22: Rust and Kaji snoop around the servants passages for information that would incriminate Black in the murders of the two Carpa victims. They want to know if he did it, and more importantly, for why.
OUTCOME: They won't catch Black in a compromising situation, but they managed to overhear two Carpathan delegates discussing a transmission packet.
ADDITIONAL INFO / LEARNED / OTHER:
1. Presumably post-murder, the Carpathans receive a transmission packet from the Black Palace.
2. Two Carpathan delegates are chagrined that most of the contents of this transmission packet is accessible only to Black.
3. There is evidently no love lost between these two Carpa delegates and Black, but they seem to taking pains to avoid criticizing him outright.
no subject
WHAT & WHEN: Day 18/the final hunt, Sam and Lavallen come up with a plan to go to the other envoys for a "my guys will watch your guys' backs if your guys watch mine," and pass on word about it to anyone who wants.
OUTCOME: Lavallen takes political alliances super seriously and gets killed protecting a Descendent.
ADDITIONAL INFO / LEARNED / OTHER: APPARENTLY THEY GET BROWNIE POINTS! Sam and Kaji were going to follow up on this after the death, but then the autopsy happened and Sam's broodmate had a melt down and wanted to murder everyone, so Sam ran off into the desert to deal with that.
no subject
WHAT & WHEN: Day 14/15, Sam contacts the Nest offering an information share
OUTCOME: see above
ADDITIONAL INFO / LEARNED / OTHER: everything in this info compiling here! This includes what was found during overnight surveillance on day 6/7, and the investigation into the night of dread on day 12
no subject
WHAT & WHEN: Day 20, Pidge woos a Second to get a better look at the Elin and find out more about how Nectar and their technology works.
OUTCOME: Mission (mostly) successful. Pidge also potentially has a new friend she can go to for information.
ADDITIONAL INFO / LEARNED / OTHER: n/a
no subject
WHAT & WHEN: The Voltron duo helped break up a fight at the dinner on Day 22.
OUTCOME: Fight broken up. Nothing else has come of it (yet).
ADDITIONAL INFO / LEARNED / OTHER: N/A
day :019
WHAT & WHEN: On day 19, Clarke and her able assistants (lovingly) cut open Lavellan's skull for a look at the symbiote.
OUTCOME: Everyone was grossed out.
Confirmed that the symbiote grows and that it becomes pretty much inseparable from the structure of the brain itself.
ADDITIONAL INFO / LEARNED / OTHER: Post-autopsy, the brain was plopped into a jar and preserved with a local vintage. Rust and Kaji have custody if anyone would like a look.
no subject
WHAT & WHEN: Day 19-22; Sam comes up with an idea to present the envoy leaders tokens filled with Annie goo as part of a mourning ritual in the aftermath of Lavellan's death to be used to spy later. The tokens are presented to the envoy leaders at the funeral and are activated for spying on the first night of the airship. Sam reports the results to the Nest the next day.
OUTCOME: the results!
ADDITIONAL INFO / LEARNED / OTHER: n/a!
