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.

the "shee was framed" plot
- the bead was made recently (which could also imply it is counterfeit, a story for another time)
- shee naxara is a "very junior member" (quote not mine), which could explain the bead's age. gildor's ability revealed that it was given to a "stranger"; compelling evidence for the bead changing hands, likely to someone outside the 'family tree'
- the bead has only "known two worlds", likely hyanna'vi and hyrypia, seeing as the descendants abide both
- rust knows that any suspects may be still around thanks to his eagle scout powers
and because rust likes to... eschew large crowds at all costs, we were wondering how we were to pursue this while the distraction(s) are going down and the (official) infiltration team looks into the admiral. how much risk are we incurring if they were to follow this concurrently with the official effort(s)? do there exist more (non?)descendants other than the admiral who could be investigated? if a 2 man team were to piggyback off the main infiltration team and use the nestwide distraction to their advantage, could they find their way inside the mourning quarters?

You'll be trying to infiltrate the Tyrisson Manor since that's where Shee Naraxa (and Casiria) are in their mourning sequester. The Manor will still be guarded during the distraction (because lbr the Tyrisson twins have people to do their disaster relief for them), which means it would be difficult but doable. Please come up with a plan for how they sneak into Tyrisson Manor and reach the quarters where Shee is in sequester. We'll let you know what happens as a result of whatever plan you come up with.
RE: Incurred risk - it's a mystery. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
RE: Other (non?)descendants that could be investigated - If you wanted to use this opportunity to poke around other potentially suspicious characters, you're more than welcome to. Just come up with a plan of approach and concrete details about who you're interesting in and we'll let you know what your characters find out.
