Traitor Storyline
Okay, I've 'officially' started the storyline where there's a traitor feeding high-level intel to the Imperials and I'd like to get help from those active members of the Alliance here.
I've got some ideas in place for threads, but I guess the big question is how indepth do we want to go on this?
Any help on this would be great.
Okay I'm gonna start listing ideas so I don't forget 'em.
1) Current 'In Sheep's Clothing' RP.
2) Rebellion goes and rescues Samantha Lessard from the clutches of the Inquisitors (roughly a month after In Sheep's Clothing).
3) A deep cover operative discovers the code-name of the Imperial agent (Cavalier). The Rebellion sends someone (doesn't have to be E/K) to get 'em out. The operative gets killed, but passes along I think 3/4 of the info. It gives a bank account, codename, but not the real name of the traitor.
4) Through the codename or some other way, the Rebellion discovers a meet between the traitor and the Inq (this could also be a false flag or red herring if necessary).
5) Rebellion discovers an Inq plot against the current Mon (who's name I'm blanking on) and tries to stop it.
6) Traitor is found out.
The end result I'm still not sure of. I have two potential endings, I'm debating.
Also in the 'rescue Samantha Lessard thread' it might be then the plot against the current Mon is discovered. Give the Rebellion a chance t'start making preparations.
Any suggestions people?
You could include Mirko Spendrim as a source for some of the disturbing information coming through about the Traitor.
How is the traitor found out? And seeming as the traitor is high-level We could do a Where Eagles Dare type of operation and bring in a third, unconnected party that is not compromised in anyway in order to do so. They may or may not understand their own role in the process.
Sorry, not great suggestions, but just tossing things out.
I will have to read that movie and watch that book. I've heard about it, sounds interesting.
I was thinking more along the lines of 'following the creds' to who the traitor is.
Not a bad idea at all though. And possibly easier to follow.
You know...Spenny could also be the one who investigates the background of the double agents we've all ready seen (the ones in the 'Survival' thread). Assuming the Rebels find more that could be one way he's involved.
Well, Mirko has big ears, and it is not unreasonable to think he would have his own 'network' of friends that supply him with the information he supplies everyone else. He is one of those characters that is always on the peripheral of things and can therefore pick up snippets of info like lint.
"Where eagles Dare" general outline was that the British Secret Service believed one of their own top honcho's was a traitor. They sent a team lead by Richard Burton to Austria to rescue a general (actually an actor posing as a general) who had been caught by the Nazi's and part of the rescue team was one or two KNOWN traitors. However, they werent certain of the others, or of the traitorous top officer's identity - and so they sent an American officer (Clint Eastwood) along so at least Burton would have one trustworthy team member he could count on. The main reason of the mission was not so much the resuce of the faux-general, but to confirm the name of the high ranking traitor by the germans themselves.
Its a great old movie, and greater book by Alistair McLean.
Anyway, thats what I mean about bringing in an outsider of Rebel Interl. Could be a Jedi, or even just a trustworthy scallawag that Kazaar knows. Like BloodCrest even..
BC would be a good choice if he can stay active.
And I like your idea with Spenny.
Bossman, whatta ya think?
Couple other things.
1) With the Rebel intel people, I think their code names are going to be used more. Ex: E/K would be called OPHELIA/COWBOY instead of their real names. That might explain how no one's cover gets completely blown in this (E/K specifically).
How might the Alliance military be involved in this? Or should they?
Okay more scheming done
[19:37] AureliasKazaar: Well maybe the Empire is hoping to have another 'back door' into the Rebellion. And they figure if they 'take out' the Mon, Dasq's personality and reputation in the Rebellion will cause him to be 'forced' into a more political role.
[19:37] AureliasKazaar: If that makes sense.
[19:37] lordvanderveld: so they have the potential to manipulate him in the future?
[19:38] AureliasKazaar: Yeah. Think 'Manchurian Candidate'
[19:44] AureliasKazaar: Ooo...in fact....we could leave it on a cliff hanger.
[19:44] AureliasKazaar: Maybe Dasq gets kidnapped at the end of the storyline.
[19:45] AureliasKazaar: Maybe if we want to do it as a 'triology' of plotlines. Maybe the next 'series' is the "Search For Belargic'?
[19:45] AureliasKazaar: Or is it complicated enough lol
[19:45] lordvanderveld: i like it!
Maybe the sequence should be different:
[19:58] AureliasKazaar: As in maybe it goes this way: Dasq gets kidnapped while investigating the traitor (maybe it's him who goes to find a deep cover operative somewhere), then he's rescued, then the attempt on the Mon is done, then the traitor is found out and escapes.

*dances through rebel forums*
Anywho, I'm on board for this plan as well. The Inq hasn't really acted against the alliance yet. Also a chance for the rebs to gain some knowledge on the Inq (which is about squat at the moment except for what Estelle has found out....and whatever TBM is keeping to himself.)
Any ideas on how you'd want the sequence to go Karl?
For those who may not've read it, this is essentially the prelude/first chapter of the traitor storyline.
C'mon people I want ideas here!
Great read! I can't wait to get involved in this
What I'm really concerned with is the sequencing of events. Is the kidnapping of Dasq the last part of the entire arc or is it in the middle with the reasons for it coming out later?
Sorry about the late reply, holidays, work, and that jazz have kept me busy. I'll throw my bit in later this evening.
At the moment I have to shovel a path to the garage so I can get my car in and out.
I'm not sure which would be the most exciting. Probably having it happen in the middle?Originally Posted by Aurelias Kazaar
How about this, Dasq is the one who discovers the Inq plot against the Mon and has to escape/get rescued in order to warn anyone. That would probably put the capturing in the middle of events.
So he'd discover the plot whilst captured. Yeah, that sounds good! Maybe he discovers it in the process of escaping?
I always figured he'd find out while he was being captured. Maybe the deep-cover operative he meets with is a 'sleeper agent' or something? For the Inq I mean.
That might change up how the Rebs find out the code name of the traitor...maybe Mirko finds it out and tells the Alliance.
