NOHOPE’s Reckoning Starting Thursday the 23rd!

Jesse here, notifying that the rescheduled hostage crisis at the ImPort psychiatric institution is coming up a week from today! The full writeup is still up here, so here is a summary in brief:

-Some people are very upset with Jack Bauer and other rogue ImPorts staging international interventions and using extreme methods in fighting bad guys. This group is called Reckoning, and they have guns. They're covertly sponsored by a splinter faction of the country Dolvania, which Jack secretly attacked in 2012. They know that Jack has to visit NOHoPE regularly for psychiatric treatment.

-Reckoning will attack NOHoPE and take PC and NPC hostages on the 23rd! This is bad because NOHoPE has power dampeners inside to keep ImPorts from breaking in or out, so it’s going to be tricky for superpowered people (i.e. most player characters) to stage a rescue!

-Reckoning will demand the surrender of Jack Bauer and his accomplices in all illegal actions to make an example against ImPort interventions. Otherwise, they will execute hostages in 48 hours! They don't know who these accomplices are, just that Jack was in charge of them. They are trying to use the hostages to force Jack’s friends and allies to surrender themselves.

-Jack himself is going to stay loose in the hospital looking for a chance to end the takeover. Depending on how things go, he may succeed or end up captured. Other characters will need to take initiative in finding a way to liberate NOHoPE and save the hostages! The plot will end on the 30th at the latest.

-There will be a log for the entire crisis, with multiple threads:
-one thread for the initial assault on NOHoPE on the 20th
-one thread for those inside the hospital in the ensuing siege
-one thread for characters watching from the outside while NOHoPE is surrounded by police and news crews
-Another thread will be posted for the rescue when it’s been determined what form the rescue will take.

-There will also be a post by Reckoning on the Network making their demands, where characters can talk to and negotiate with them. Jack will also post calling on his allies to resist Reckoning’s demands.

-Confirmed characters participating include Jack Bauer (obviously), Harry Sullivan (hostage), Mitch Hundred (negotiating) and Wild Tiger (tbd heroism). This list will be updated as more characters are confirmed.

-Please comment here with if and how you would like your character involved in this crisis, and let me know if there are any questions!

Hello everyone, Jesse here posting with an NPC account! Last year Jack Bauer led an ImPort black ops team called the Dependables in a secret attack on Dolvanian territory that left over a hundred terrorists dead, destroyed the criminal organization called Zero's Children, freed several innocent hostages, and massively pissed off Dolvania. It was the latest in a long series of ruthless deeds Jack has carried out for what he considers the greater good, deeds that previously got him fired from the police force and arrested. The consequences for this act of war have been drawing nigh ever since, as the Dolvanians have had only one suspect for the attack: Jack Bauer.

What is happening: tl;dr it's a hostage crisis )

What can be done: tl;dr surrender, negotiate, or come up with a rescue plan )

The takeover will begin on May 20th with the posting of a log and Reckoning’s statement. It will last until May 27th unless characters devise a plan to retake the hospital sooner. If you would like your character to die in this plot, leave a comment on the plotting post to get it approved. Please comment here if you'd like your character involved in this plot with what they're going to be doing, and let me know if there are any questions!
dead_reckoning: (Prepare)
We are Reckoning. We have seized the Norman Osborn Hospital for Psychiatric Evaluation. Every person still alive in the facility is either our hostage or soon will be. We have taken control of the security systems. All Import powers in the hospital are being neutralized. We have fortified the building.

There are many of us. We are heavily armed. We are willing to kill and die for our cause. Blood has already been shed. More will die if our demands are not met. More will die if there is any interference in our mission.

cut for manifesto )

Anyone who has ever assisted Jack Bauer in his illegal actions must surrender themselves to us at NOHoPE. You have 48 hours. If we have no prisoners by then, hostages will begin to be executed. If there is any attempt to storm the building, hostages will die.

That is all.
