Ian Chesterton plot
I have a mod-approved plot going on with Ian Chesterton and it needs people to help with it.
He's been not happy about what's going on and being forced to fight in the arena and not always keeping his mouth shut about it. It all culminated in him setting himself on fire at the start of the last arena, which didn't go down well, funnily enough. So they recently took him off, gave him a nice bit of torture. It just had the slight problem of not working on someone willing to do things like set themselves on fire.
Of course the capitol have other ways of getting to him, so what is roughly going to happen is:
- the capitol grab someone else instead and get them to do an appeal broadcast to the Tribute tower to get Ian to toe the line to save them from torture.
- Ian, being all heroic, and thinking they're being held in the same place he was, plans a rescue mission
- the rescue mission fails
- the captured person is released (with a bit of torture beforehand)
- the capitol punish everyone involved in the rescue mission by giving them burns, but doesn't do anything to Ian
What I need volunteers for are:
- Someone to be captured and tortured. Almost anyone will work for this - Ian will be obviously upset if it's someone he knows, but just as angry if they've used someone he doesn't. Whoever it ends up being can decide on the torture and how much to play out/handwave.
- People to help with the rescue. They also don't need to be anyone Ian knows - we can either handwave that they've met or that he's asked someone he trusts and they've opted out but suggested someone they trust. Ideally it needs to be a small group of people to head to the torture chamber (because I don't think I can handle something big), but it could also use people to create a diversion.
Please reply to the relevant thread below. If there's more than one volunteer to be captured I'll choose randomly on Friday 28th March.
Edit: Ian G has ended up being the lucky victim. This doesn't stop people volunteering for the rescue mission!
Also consider this a plotting post for the rescue team(s) so we can all work out roughly what we're going to do.
This will all happen after the crowning, at the same time as the mini-arena.
Edit: Ian G's TV plea

Re: Rescue volunteers and plotting
The caveat is I can't really have him caught because he's also doing other stuff that he'd get executed for like allying with the rebel hacker but that also means he wouldn't actively be on the mission to be caught and the discovery of the tech would start to make him a target anyway, even though no one would know who he really was.
Giving them a useful doodad like a password cracker or something to bypass a retinal scanner is a nice indirect way he can help though.

He would have gotten them to Ian to distribute under his false persona, Lonestar. Would you like to do quick IC message on the network where he offers the help ICly?
