The Hope Protocols™
In the most recent RP, Alex called for instituting the Hope Protocols™. But what are the Hope Protocols™, you ask?
The Hope Protocols™ are our Emergency Hope protection plan. Although OOC we've never laid it out before, it is something that the characters have been briefed on, so this won't come to a surprise to anyone. The basic premise is this: Bishop shows up to kill Hope. We distract him and ultimately stop him.
1. Alex will deslave our Chronotriggers. Up until this point, with very few exceptions, we have always traveled to the same places/times all together. This is about to change.
2. We will be split into smaller (preset) groups. Each group has a predesignated time/location that they will jump to. There won't be time to gather supplies or costumes. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, just go. There are caches in our emergency locations for just this situation (with one tiny exception, but I'll get to that).
3. When you activate your emergency protocol, this automically activates a life model decoy, that will jump with you. You must keep track of your LMD, keep the natives from realizing it's not really a human, and bring it back with you. The reason we're taking LMDs is that Bishop has the technology to track how many people make a jump and when they are going, but not WHO goes, and...
4. Hope, Cable, Dom, and Laura are not jumping with us (thus the distraction factor). We'll get to their adventures in a minute.
5. Everyone will jump (or not, in the case of #4) at the same time, and each team is having their separate adventure simultaneously. They will all each be visited by Bishop at some point in their stay, since he's looking for Hope among the groups that jumped.
Clear as mud? Here are the teams (in order of how Bishop will move between them)
The Last of the Apache - Jimmy, Terry, Neal, and Callisto
Location: Camp Verde, AZ (Future home of Warpath)
Date: 1882
LMD: Jaime Madrox (Multiple Man)
They will meet up with Geronimo and the Apache resistance. (I gotta tell you, Geronimo was totally a mutant. Read the wiki)
Bishop finds them first, but damn, no Hope. There can be a small scuffle, but Bishop jumps away, uninjured, to move on to:
Inglourious Basterds - Alex, Forge, and Lorna
Location: Nazi occupied Poland
Date: 1944
LMD: Captain Jack Harkness
This team is gonna scalp themselves some Nazis, or at least fight them.
A certain Max Eisenhart also escapted Auschwitz during a revolt on October 9, 1944. Just sayin.
They also get to fight Bishop. This is a very fighty team.
Carnivale - Warren, Josh, and Laurie
Location: Paris, .....Texas**
Date: 1934
LMD: Betsy Braddock (Psylocke)
**This team intended to go to Paris, France. That is where their supply cache is. They cannot jump again until they get the all clear to go home, so they will need to make their way through Depression-era Texas on their wits alone.
As the title suggests, we will join up with a traveling circus/freakshow.
Bishop will show up at one of our performances, realize Hope's not here either, and not even bother to engage (so it'll be a relatively short cameo from him). This group has enough of their own problems! Plus, I think he's getting tired of our shenanigans.
Wrestlemania - Thomas, Pixie and Santo
Location: Pontiac, Michigan
Date: March, 1987 (Culminating in Wrestlemania III)
LMD: Eugene Judd (Puck) (What? We needed someone SMALL)
This team gets to enjoy all the camp of 1987, plus they're gonna give Hulkamaniacs an even bigger show that Andre the Giant did!
In the end, they will destroy Bishop's time travel device by turning it into something genius (aka tarded), stranding Bishop in the 1980's. Needless to say, he'll probably have to hit up more than a couple of Radio Shack's before he can manage to get out of there. As soon as he's stuck, we send out the signal to bring everybody home to 2010!
Star City - Cable, Dom, Laura, and Hope
Location: On the road & Seattle
Date: 2010
This team isn't jumping, they're gonna get in a car and get out of town as fast as they can.
They'll be visiting their friends Ollie and Dinah (and their teenage foster daughter Mia) in Seattle.
