Taking Max's questions and adding my own thoughts. Maybe we can all to the same to keep this organized?
1. What do we know about 'slick'? Weaknesses, strengths.
Kirby’s thoughts: When he dies he turns to mush? Is that a weakness? I think he’s likely a body-jumper or something. In his fight with Kirby he moved fairly quickly, seemed nimble/acrobatic, but really only fought with a gun. Kirby dropped him with one bullet, albeit a super-charged one, and he became mush. The body was no longer needed? Perhaps the body-jumping ability is what allowed to appear to be in multiple places at once.
Max's thoughts: Slick is a poor attempt at cloning. It's more ameba like than anything at it's base cellular structure. Not sure how it's programed with it's knowledge and orders. The one encountered at Orlando's died easily as well. The one's encountered to this point have gone down easily, but what is it's real potential? We shouldn't underestimate this fact with any encounters. Strengths would be until we destroy it's reproductive machinery, slick will keep coming. Don't know if he can jump bodies? Never saw this happen. Need more opinions on this...Gents?
Orlando: I think he has normal vulnerabilities, but some savy espianage stuff. He's been killed now 3x's by use. So making him dead for the moment isn't a problem, but his resources are daunting.
2. Who can we trust and not trust?
Kirby’s thoughts: We cannot trust very many people – probably just our group. We know that who/what we’re up against can take over or influence even well trusted friends – exhibit A: Alex – so we need to be mindful of that. Further, the Coast Guard finding us so quickly, and with the level of presumed hostility, should raise further concerns about the US government (moles or otherwise). However, I don’t think we’ll be successful if we don’t trust anyone. We sort of have to play it by ear – and tell as few people as possible what we actually have planned.
Max's thoughts: Trust everyone, but not the devil inside...LOL! Trust each other. We have the powers now to help ward off mental threats IE mind control. Not sure about the taking over of the soul thing...yet. I don;t we can take to many chances with who we trust. How does one test another regarding trust? Can we put a plan together a S.O.P. for this?
Orlando: So not to sound too preachy, but this world isn't all that Seeker throws at us, it is ours to control as well. We can do what we make of it. Why did Seeker allow us to create some pretty cool back stories? I say we start using them a little more. I have had quite a lot of good conversations regarding John's dad, since that was part of my back story, I say we can trust him, and as far as allies, he would be great. The Analecta Arcanum, which I and Aeviternus are members, well I'm a member, someone else is the CEO. We could trust various members especially being off the grid. We can trust my brother. We can also trust Herman, my friend. He can get us stuff if need be. He is off the grid for the most part and I think our other background people. I think that could add up to a lot if we needed to. Also I do think that Sharpe could be used for help, not to trust, but for things.
3. What are our teams weaknesses and strengths?
Kirby’s thoughts: Strengths: Improvisation? Hah! I think we’re well balanced from a power perspective. I think what will make us stronger is better communication. In battle I think we should try to verbalize our plans, or what we’re thinking, more often. This way our actions can all support each other. We did this really well when we took down the shark, I think. More of that will help – particularly in combat. Outside of combat I think it’s more of the same – communication. The more we talk and share our theories with each other the better we’ll be I think.
Max's thoughts: Diversity and creativity seem to be a great strengths. Agreed that communication is the key to completing the rescue plan and stopping the bad guys. We need to continue finding synergistic connections with our powers and how they can interact with each other, making them stronger. My fear is how will the team do if someone goes down? Power base wise we haven't really faced a team of bad meta-humans or worse. Should we have some set parameters for battle strategies, who does what and when?
Orlando: I think our lack of knowing the rules and just winging it. Ideas are great, dynamics are good. We are well rounded, but I am not sure if we know our characters super well. Ex. We havn't done much hand to hand combat, and that at somepoint is going to surprise the hell out of us.
4. Who else are we up against?
Kirby’s thoughts: We’re up against the now–waking titans, the other-worldly controlled vampire chick (we haven’t even met yet), slick, whomever captured the last research party (slick?), the government, and time. We can’t forget that the clock is ticking on Orlando’s brother on the moon. Oh – and while I’m thinking about it, we need to be prepared for the god-like powers possessed by whoever has the skull in south America – and pray it’s not Max’s mom.
Max's thoughts: God's IE Set and his subordinates, including titans. I think other puppets of Set might be the people behind the Illuminati. One thought about our enemies: They know we're coming to south america, so we have very little to no surprise factor. Their captures, our family and friends could've been subjugated to their will. Natives in south america? The skulls? Vampire Queen and Demon father.
Orlando:Thats what I think too.
5. What allies can we depend on?
Kirby’s thoughts: The gods? Maybe?
Max's thoughts: Poseidon, I think. Shakti and if we can set her free even a greater allie! Cosmic Breed, maybe through Col. Sharpe. The skulls they could be helpful some how. The Rosicrucian Order of the Masons? It's not good when you can count your allies on one hand.
Orlando: Most of what I said up above applies here too.
6.What pieces of the story puzzle can we put together so far? The who's, what's, why's where's and how's.
Kirby’s thoughts: I captured some of this above, not sure what else to add right now.
Max's thoughts: What's the reason Set's coming to Earth? Is it the skulls, their power or what they're holding. How many skulls are there? Does Set fear the skulls? Who would have this knowledge, maybe someone Ace knows? Set is bringing forth a NEW AGE, as the shark said. This won't be a 'nice' age. I have a link with Shakti, how can we use that to our advantage? Some type of cosmic energy tracking device sounds nice? What do our alien friends really know about the skulls and Set's whole story. I think we need to contact them if possible.
Orlando: I think there is something powerful about the skulls, and something powerful about souls, and those pieces of the puzzle are close at hand. It seems that back in the day about 10,000BCish that the mythological war of the Titans and Gods really happened, and then something happened to the Gods that got them imprisoned into the skulls and other things. We didn't actually here from Posiedin if there was a skull involved. There is also an ancient piece of the puzzles with the Aliens and the Gate on the moon, which I think was older than 10000 years, so that piece is still unknown. I am still trying to figure out how: Gods/Titans, Aliens and Vampires/Demons all go together oh, and don't forget Dragons, Seeker always has Dragons in the Mix.
