Techy People, Assemble?

[looksfine]

Given recent in-game events, I and a few others have proposed a sort of player plot idea that I wanted to run by anybody else whose characters would have gotten in on the Science happening (I'm perfectly fine with handwaving or backtagging, if one so desires)...or any muns who might want to get in on it now, while the getting's still good.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: to my knowledge, there are two major experiments going on currently.  There is the studying of the virus that's infected the consoles, which has been the amazing work of Mike as seen here, as well as Aya's Network Post offering the resources of both Stark Industries and Wayne Enterprise Science Labs, and Subsequent Open Log in which she was given the idea by Clark and Donatello to create Foreign communicators based on the radio technology already available.  The latter has basically become her newest pet project, and the primary focus of my Plot Idea.

PLOT IDEA: Aya & company will have succeeded in creating a series of small hand-held radio systems that could be used for private communications between people too paranoid to use the Network.  However, to avoid turning this into a total deus ex machina Aya, I'm thinking of putting certain restrictions on it:

(1) Option One: A limited number of systems would be available ONLY to those who are involved in upcoming Hero groups working together against Malicant.

(2) Option Two: Any Individual who wants one will be welcome to come collect, but asked to keep broadcasts limited to only important messages.  This isn't meant to be a total Network Replacement, after all, since the entire Network falling completely silent would be incredibly suspicious to one of Malicant's intelligence.

(3) Option Three: Radios are distributed at leisure to whomever desires one, with no restrictions.  But with a significantly lower guarantee of maintained secrecy and encryption.  In other words, while encryptions might be safe from Malicant, any and all transmissions will be openly viewed/heard by anybody in possession of a Radio.

Of course, with any of these options, there is always the potential for enemy discovery later on.  Depending upon how it's received and how the game-wide plot goes.  I can say that with radios like these, because they're portable...there is the risk that a single person could lose or have theirs taken away.  And if the enemy gets their hands on them...well....


So, basically, before I do the final write-up request to set this in motion, I have two questions.  Who wants in, and which Option do you think would be best?

What up chums. Kate here.

Just a quick note that I'll be on hiatus from Tues, May 27 to roughly Sat, June 28 for work.

Costigan (lostundercover) will be on assignment from Evandau and effectively missing for the duration of that time. All of his files (including Arthur's, Lincoln's, Olivia's, and Kyle's) will be secured during his absence.

Hayley (everylittlegirl) and Mike (oneofthegoodguys) will both be on autopilot, keeping primarily to their respective suites. Hayley will be isolating because friendships are hard okok; Mike will be working on trying to fix the consoles.

I'll still be reachable here and there via plurk (thedarkfields) and email (thenextreveur at gmail) if needed.

Cheers!

Hey chelonauts! Unfortunately over the past few months life has become hectic, and I haven't been able to keep up with everything happening here like I should. It pains me but I've got to drop for now. The Helmet of Fate goes to Eva and the Kyle's battery (containing Parallax) as well as its cage go to DCU Hal Jordan. His paintings and sculptures go to charity. Copies of his files and notes on the city as well as the location of all his safehouses go to Gaius Septimus and Billy Costigan. His ring will be rendered unusable.

Thanks for having me, and stay chill, guys.
