The Resistance will, of course, have need of a research wing. Can't beat 'em back on brute force alone.

You also have to steal all their tech, rip it, then reverse-engineer it for yourself. :p

This sounds intriguing now.

Hmmm.... How long will this invasion last? I could see it going over all of spring break, but will it hit the Spring Equinox? That's a day I would love to do some things character wise. Expansion of Kale's character and to bring in a new character perfect for the invasion. Just want to know if it'll last that long...

The resistance sounds rather like the secret wars nonsense that's Sandy and Amanda's backstory. (Magic is rare in their version of our world, and the magically apt struggle for power while trying to prevent the mundanes from noticing.)

*fervent nods* I'm counting on that.


Carly, it could last a while. Also, we can't begin until I'm back on my feet, health-wise. I won't know when treatment begins until later this week.

Although here the magic are actually more powerless than the mundane to stop the invaders. The magical have relied upon magic for far too long, now it's become a crutch and they'll need to do some catching up to the mundanes and tech-oriented of the group if they want proper leverage against the Nifid.

Amanda is a mundane. She's used to being up against superior forces... for vaules of "used to" "rather frightened of fighting, but has had no choice in the matter, so she's not bad at".

Sandy doesn't have any direct magical attacks. His backstory also has him being outclassed, so he's more a trickster than an slugger with magic. Sandy's not much of a scientist, but he's not stupid either.

That's pretty much why I've chosen to park many of my Chaos characters. I'll have Minerva and Hans around, and Cer will have Ogoti and Klaus, but the rest aren't going to save the day.

Tilt, he might, if he survives the mission. The stronger role will be Marcus and Thaddeus behind the scenes and working to understand what they're facing. Thaddeus has working knowledge of Nifid tech and used it against Dani during her invasion. Much of the old lab from PL I and II has been moved over to Neste's apartment, also, which gives people a safe area for research. It was done IC to eventually revive Titus.

Limits on the time traveling couch I hardly remember the details for? I was thinking that the resident raptors will sabotage it so he can't leave Bielefeld. but if you want specifics I'll come up with something more.

I wasn't sure what he was looking for. We've been ships in the night due to his schedule... and then, when I do see him, I forget to ask because I'm focused on other stuff like "Did you pay the water bill?" and "Are you sure you should be drinking that milk... it expired three days ago."
