[ The video is addressed to the entirety of the Audentes team, new and old. A black cat peers into the feed; he is in a lab of some kind, crackling purple electricity jumping from conductor to conductor while a white cat paws at some instruments. When he opens his mouth, it's not meowing that comes out, but the baritone voice of a man. ]

Audentes. You will soon receive a dossier compiled by our analysts, which should give you all the information you need, but I have been told by the knife-eared one that you would appreciate a personal touch. Cherenkov and I are the most qualified to deliver this, and so here I am.

[ He pauses. ] We have located Zymandis's home base, the Mothership, using radio-frequency trackers in leftover robots from their assault on Oska, using your techniques. Using the calculations of the TIMELINE.exe, we have been able to pinpoint the Mothership's path in the next forty-two days, after which its path becomes unclear.

This means we can safely rift you in and out of the heart of Zymandis, an unprecedented opportunity to gather information. And to sabotage, if the mood strikes you. Do not waste it.

The TIMELINE.exe has additional notes to impart. It is an old program, so please... try to have some humor about whatever it says.

exactly.

[ and that's what matters. ]

right, then I can help with the rounding up part. or the containing anyone wayward part, I've got practice in that too.

[ofobedience]

Good. I suspect we'll need some further assistance with rounding up, but considering the way this team generally leans, I suspect we'll get some takers.

[figureitout]

yeah, probably. and hey, two's a good start anyway.

I'm guessing you're the type who doesn't need backup for the taking-out-the-mother part?

[ofobedience]

That's correct, yes. And if we maintain the element of surprise, there shouldn't even be much of a struggle.

[As much as he'd like one, he does intend to do this swiftly and efficiently is possible. Though Stiles' statement that, for them, everything that can go wrong will go wrong, isn't something he exactly disagrees with.]

[figureitout]

with a team this size, that's a big if... but hey, optimism is good. let's hope it goes smoothly... but id it doesn't, might be a good idea to have some back-up plans in place.

[ofobedience]

Which is fair, I suppose. It's not as though things have ever run smoothly for us in the past. Ha ha. A backup plan or two wouldn't go amiss.

Did you have suggestions?

[figureitout]

yeah, I'd be pretty surprised if everything went according to plan.

not yet, but I'll make sure to have at least three once the time comes.

[ofobedience]

Perhaps we ought to arrange some kind of strategising session before we set off, in order to ensure things run as smoothly as they're able to.

A few people are interested in this endeavour, it seems.
