MISSION HYRYPIA: NIGHT OF DAY :038
A SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT
If things weren't complicated enough already, that certains makes everything moreso. By the time the dread feeling returns, the NPC Hosts (Lyr, Rhan, Siva’co, and Collector) will have decided they need to positively and definitively identify the enemy agent. However, exactly how to go about it was unclear until the feeling returns-- from nearby. Should anyone chase after the sensation (though be extremely careful - if Lexa, Mat, Elliot and Pidge are right, the circles may act as a portal through which the Enemy enters the universe), they'll discover a third identical charred circle just outside the ring of light cast by brilliantly lit courtyard of the Whalsome Home.
Fortunately, who or what came through it is no longer present (which: phew - it'd be awkward/deadly to get caught running in that direction). Now it's just a matter of figuring out where they went.
Luckily, it hasn't all been setting fires and kidnappings this afternoon. After examining the charred circle at the prior night's crime scene, Pidge has determined that a rapidly fading radiation is left in its wake and she's designed a device to track it. As Casiria suspects the Admiral is responsible for her niece's death and it follows that the murderer is the Enemy, the best shot at either confirming Casiria's suspicions or ruling them out entirely is to get the tracker into the Admiral's lodgings and see if they can confirm there are traces of similar radiation on his stuff and/or find other clues.
However due to a number of unfortunate events - the death of Keya, the fire set to one of the Descendant’s lodgings houses, the attack on the Second Elyiad -, security in and around Whalsome Home has increased. To make matters worse, the Hosts will be working within under a strict time limit. There are only two hours before the remaining traces of radiation dissipate entirely.
Because of this, a contingent of Hosts will need to provide an adequate distraction (or distractions) while still remaining entirely covert while a smaller strike team infiltrates the Admiral's quarters. After all, identifying the enemy is only the first step of their mission. The second is making sure you can stay stick around to sabotage their plan.
Which is where we come to plotting! We want you guys to let us know what kind of distraction(s) the Hosts would come up with, what kind of teams they’d want to form, and who wants to take part in which actions. Based on what you come up with, we’ll come up with the full calendar for the evening of Day 0:38 and put up the IC event log. Please take the time to make concrete, fully realized plans - we'll do our best to incorporate as much as we can, but it will be easiest if everyone works together to nail down a definitive timeline of events.
This OOC plotting post will be open until Sunday the 28th at 11:59PM and the log with the finalized timeline of events will go up Monday.
Questions? If they're specific to the events here, ask them in the thread below. If they're concerning wider reaching Mission: Hyrypia details, please ask them here.

Just one question for now! If Kavinsky's able to copy Pidge's device using his dream mojo, would it work as well and enable them to try to cover twice as much ground in the Admiral's quarters to cut down on the time they have to be in there?

If he can accomplish this before the tour hour time limit expires, then totally.
Shepard and Damon would know this from their excellent adventure into one of the Descendant's houses earlier in the day, but the quarters themselves aren't so large that they'll take a copious amount of time to search as is. That said, it never hurts to shave minutes off the clock!
withdrawing this actually!
And now another question: it's been pointed out that these guys are into hunting and why not cause a scene/get people stirred up with the promise of glory or at least let's stop that creature from attacking, so! Is there any folk lore or fauna or anything resembling a winged creature that Sam can try to impersonate and... essentially disguise himself, put on his wings, and go for a flight to try to cause a distraction and lure people away, especially the warriors and guards? Or heck, even start a new myth?
Also is this too overt of a distraction and likely to get them noticed by the enemy?
Enough people are opposed to it ICly that it wouldn't make sense, since Sam is going to favor a unified approach!
