<@IS-st> Ok...I'm gonna go over the meeting points oocly
<JamesBeckett> Oki
<Kifel> Alright
* Viktor (Viktor@337-96-74-070.client.mchsi.com) has joined #IS.Meeting
<Naze> Go for it
<@IS-st> Ok, so you all along with DD are brought over to the Admiral's boat for the midnight meeting.
<Viktor> Is he a ghost?
<JamesBeckett> I don't think so?
<@IS-st> The Admiral?
<Kifel> No, bad Vik
<Naze> This is not the ghost boat viktor, thats later
<Naze> :P
<@IS-st> So you all get to meet the pack alphas  of the fleet, and then you all get down to business
<JamesBeckett> Wew
* SNB sets to keeping a mental record of the numbers and the weapons available.
<Viktor> Fine, *puts the butter knife away, then stage whispers, "Later"
<@IS-st> The Admiral wants to start sending out patrols, looking for wyrm creatures.
<Rasha> Rasha would be way into that.
<Kifel> Long as we get PT boats with some torpedo launchers Kifel would be fine with that. I'm sure Rasha would agree that FTA would enjoy that as well.
<@IS-st> Many of the packs have brought with them spirit allies and such, leaving IS a little behind the ball, so he suggests that to start with, you all move to protect the Garbarge scow.  Then you can seek out your allies before you join the patrols
<Kifel> When you say spirit allies, do you mean raw spirits scowling the umbra, or spirits that can manifest in the physical as well
<@IS-st> yes
<JamesBeckett> Nice
<Naze> Right now we have the totems of the shrines (bound to the ship), a few twiceborn, and two or 3 darklings, as well as Ark and Nade
<@IS-st> His hope is that when they find something big enough, they can bring the Chimera to bear against it
<Naze> What do they want Thousand secrets doing?
<@IS-st> Malachi is going to help with the rite, so he'll be busy with the other ranking theurges.  He suggests that you might travel to your various umbra homelands to seek allies
<Kifel> Kifel will have a few in mind then, and that should be fine for him.
<SNB> Asin the Tribal Homelands?
<Viktor> And a Raven Naze
<Kifel> Homeland of each tribe. Deep lore subject as far as I'm aware.
<JamesBeckett> James will do what he can to support than
<Viktor>  Not really deep lore exactly
<Viktor> IN each tribe you hear of them here and there, knowing where they are and how to get to them is another matter.
<Kifel> Kifel will begin to organize the Walkers and take them to the GW homeland when possible.
<Viktor> Viktor has already been to the Fenrir Homelands and will stick around to guard the ship while everyone else figures their's out and goes to handle that
<Viktor> (AKA going to wait for Drake to run that one)
<Rasha> Hmm.  You know, I was planning on having Rasha take Owl as a personal totem.  Think this could tie in with that somehow, or are the two unrelated?
<@IS-st> Between the striders, They know where most of them are.
<Naze> I can wait on uktena's and Naze's too, those are going to be a bit more involved.
<Viktor> That's when you find out the Uktena homelands are the BSD homelands and it all makes more sense now.
<JamesBeckett> Lol
<Rasha> Either way Rasha would want to be involved with the process if possible, if only to get more deeply in touch with the Umbra.  Sounds fun
<@IS-st> Then he will introduce his Ace in the Hole, a Mate named Jak.  He is an odd looking man with a very wide smile.
<JamesBeckett> Ooo
* SNB will pause in his schmoozing for information on their allies to look and hope.
* Naze will be very polite and introduce herslef :P
* Viktor will not try to stab him with the ghost knife...this time.
<@IS-st> Jak calls himself a Brightwater.
<@IS-st> He says that his people are gathering underneath the fleet.
<JamesBeckett> Brightwater.. the allies the admiral mentioned we'd be looking to meet?
<@IS-st> Yes
<Rasha> Seems fishy.
* @IS-st groans
<SNB> ((b'doom tish))
<JamesBeckett> Exactly
<JamesBeckett> We're gonna need a bigger boat.
<Kifel> I already made that joke
<@IS-st> They have little interest in the garou, but they will fight the servants of Qyrl.
* Viktor stabs Rasha with the ghost knife, "Huh seems like it is good for killing and creating ghosts, fancy that."
SNB> Do any of them have the interest to converse with Garou at all?
<JamesBeckett> Fine with letting them keep their distance.  We all have a common enemy.  We can focus there
<@IS-st> Not that he's aware of.  He's only here becuase he was promised a fight
<SNB> Any means of sharing information or requesting backup?
<@IS-st> With the Rokea?
<JamesBeckett> If they're assisting it'd be good to know how to contact
<SNB> Yes, with the Rokea.
<SNB> If there's something above the water going down, it would be good to give a warning.
<@IS-st> The Admiral can send to them.  The Admiral says its a hydrophone.
<@IS-st> So that's the basic plan for now
<Kifel> Lemme make some patch notes then
<SNB> SNB will note that there was talk of whales heading north-ward.  And ask about relations with whales in general.
<@IS-st> Whales are too big to hunt so they are of no concern
<Rasha> So FTA will be on guard duty until the spirit ally situation is sorted, then they can join the patrols.  Rasha will see if there's any way she can be involved in getting to the Strider umbral homelands to help gather said spirit allies.  Be careful in the water because shark-dudes.
<JamesBeckett> James will assist Kifel as needed
<JamesBeckett> Passing word to his packmates
<SNB> Otherwise, does SNB get a good working knowledge of the Garou&manpower, the Packs, the resources&weapons of the local Fleet?
<@IS-st> yeah
<SNB> Is there any general courtesy that can be done for the Rokea?  Just to be good neighbors and avoid the wrong fights.
<@IS-st> yeah, basically
<JamesBeckett> Don't go shark hunting.  Don't be dicks
<Viktor> As an ST note please assume that you WILL be needed for your Tribes Umbral homeland as we get into them.
<Viktor> Some are vastly more dangerious than others (be lucky you aren't Fenrir) but are still very challenging in their own rights and still can be a danger.
<JamesBeckett> Of course!
* Naze eyes the Uktena homelands that link to the abyss and the primordial realms
<JamesBeckett> The Walker realms are fun tomhe's
<JamesBeckett> *timed
<Rasha> Heck yes
<SNB> Gnawer Tribal Homelands... yeah.
<Kifel> Kifel will organize that when Drake is ready
<@IS-st> Vik and Atta will be running a lot of those
<JamesBeckett> Copy that.  I'll have James on hand when ready.  Just say the word
<Kifel> Alrighty
<Kifel> So the basic plan is,
<Kifel> Various tribes will make trips into their umbral homelands to secure allies and equipment to bolster the likelihood of success.
<Kifel> Once this is accomplished pack alphas not vital to the operation of the SS Chimera will aid the Gnawer admiral in patrolling the waters around the to be opened caern.
<Kifel> Under no circumstances are sharks to be hunted, or attacked.
<Kifel> Anything I'm missing?
<JamesBeckett> Sounds good
<@IS-st> sounds right to me
<SNB> SNB would like to see if he could get a chance to talk with those whales, but that's not a hard&fast thing, just something he wants to do/thinks could be useful.
<JamesBeckett> If anyone needs any technical stuff James will see to it he's got his gear. Or lucas.
<@IS-st> ok, we're done here
<Kifel> Alrighty
<JamesBeckett> Yus
<Rasha> Kk
<@IS-st> please make sure to share with the other players
<JamesBeckett> Can do
