Vinomorph battle planning

[loveandsin]

Post-fog-event, Vincent is stuck after having involuntarily transformed into a xenomorph version of himself aka Vinomorph.

Original mission plotting post can be found here.

Gustave alerted the network to the situation in this recent network post and is seeking help dealing with Vincent.

Vincent's current state is berserker status. Anyone who tries to make contact with him, verbally or mentally, will only get a response from an unhinged alien creature/monster that is incomprehensible. Anyone who tries to approach him will be attacked without mercy and his intention will be to kill anyone he crosses paths with.

That being said, he needs to be dealt with and taking him down will be a fight.

Finding Vinnie will be handwaved, but if you want to be part of that handwaving assistance, you can comment to Gustave's network post and make it known here.

If you'd like to be involved in the monster-battle log, I'm gauging interest here to decide how to handle the log for this. It will depend on how many people are interested.

I'd be interested in having Dwayne help in a monster-battle log, as well as saying he helps find him.

[loveandsin]

Finding something of Vincent's may not be possible, but perhaps Dwayne could pick up the scent from the ruined house where Vincent was before he ran off?

[loveandsin]

The log is ready!

Everyone in Stage One has either tagged or touched base with me. You are free to tag/proceed as much as you'd like. :)

Count me in! Cloud will help find Vinny and try his best to help take him down while also not letting anyone kill him.

[nimbuster]

Addendum - if Gustave (or anyone) is organizing even somewhat, Cloud will automatically take up a leadership role out in the field. I certainly don't mind if people ignore him XD but it's natural for him to coordinate people and give orders for stuff like this, especially since he's the one with the most specific experience in this case.

OK...mileage/interest check
i have a weapon that is specifically detrimental to shapeshifters, lycanthropes, and changelings
if u think señor vincent qualifies as such then i have a tool that can fuck his ass up hard to a degree of ur choosing
BUT ONLY USE ME AS AN OPTION IF U WANT!! he has cr that can already get juicier anguish as opposed to this fuckin feral rando showing up with a stab-implement (wouldn't be the first time)

[loveandsin]

If you wish to be involved, I'm not turning you away. Just provide me with more info on the weapon, please~

Volunteering Toph for whatever role is convenient! She loves a fight and she could probably feasibly restrain / beat down Vinomorph with a judicious application of earthbending. That being said, if others want to play primary, she's also good at distraction and trying to herd him away from non-combatants.

I am super bad at writing action scenes so handwaving would be glorious for me. \o/

[loveandsin]

Handwaving is perfectly fine! I anticipate doing a non-combat follow-up to this, which you might prefer.

Hernan can punch him in the face if necessary.

Gustave will be taking part, though not necessarily in a leadership role! But he has his ability to access his chroma back, so if necessary he can smack the Vinomorph with a high-powered electric strike that might at least neutralize it (ideally without killing Vincent).

Bossie is a sniper primarily so he can fit wherever is needed

Happy to offer one (1) high-level crusader.

The log is ready!

Gaia can be a passerby and end up helping with extracting people who might get overwhelmed by Vinomorph. Seems there's already plenty of folks ready to help beat him up Vincent. So if someone wants a helping hand getting away or any other idea that might be fun, I'm all down!

Quentin here volunteered to help find Vincent on Gustave's post via telepathy but also mentioned that he can potentially knock Vinomorph out or maybe even revert him (probably once all the fighters have softened him up a little) if that's something you're interested in! He's a pretty powerful telepath, but telepathy is one of those abilities that operates on an "as strong as the plot needs it to be" basis, so I'm flexible. If he gets anywhere near Vinomorph he will definitely need a bodyguard though, since he's a bit of a glass cannon.

[loveandsin]

From what little research I can gather, xenomorphs may be resistant to telepathy and also use it via a hivemind. I wonder what effect might occur if Quentin were to connect to an alien species like that.

[laserguy]

i'll be happy to volunteer scott to help! since it seems like there's enough fighters and he probably wouldn't want to launch his optic blasts when there's people going at vincent, he can serve as something else if needed! like a waypoint or something since he can fire bright red optic blasts into the air or if someone needs him to blast something away, he can do that.

i'm definitely flexible with whatever though.

If I'm not too late, I would love to toss Octavia into this. She loves fighting and is particularly proficient with her sword and combat but I'm also happy to have her help distract or whatever is needed!!

[loveandsin]

The number of fighters has gotten pretty high, but Octavia could be an alternate if someone can't commit for some reason? I'm sorry it got going so quickly!
