Shadow Kyo hunt plotting thread; because characters planning in-RP takes a stupidly long amount of time

Alright, rather than forcing all characters involved to actually roleplay through the act of planning I figured it would make the most sense to work out how the Unremitting Doppelganger hunt will play out (in terms of who joins the topic at what point, etc.) in a plotting thread. The relevant Bedlam topic is here.

So far, characters who have expressed interest in being involved are:

- Benkei Watanabe
- Hiroko Tachibana
- Isoroku Mayoi
- Treo Ashdown
- Ayane Hitomi
- Aleksandria Fyodor
- Ng Wei
- Machi Kijimuta
- Hanako Ito
- Thomas Harding
- Maki Yamada (support/logistics)
- Nishiyo Sadako (without the express knowledge of anyone but Aleksandria)
- Eri Charinko (as a communications coordinator only)

Am I missing anyone?

Maki Yamada, but she's mostly on support and logistics.

Additionally, Benkei's effectively requested everyone be on alert for an unknown exact time in an attempt to prevent Nishiyo's involvement.

Right, well, considering there are so many takers, and I get the impression there was going to be a tackle-the-hunt-in-waves sort of thing, it's probably best to figure out who's doing what so we can get this show on the road.

Can you give us a cliff's notes version of the plan as it stands?

The TL:DR Benkei, Isoroku and Hiroko lie in wait as Wei goes to deal with Scarlett as he usually does, then they ambush her. and force her to flee. (End Thread 1; with the Shadow, and possibly people on bikes hot on her heels.)

Tom, Machi and possibly Hanako? Pursue the Shadow down, keeping track of its location and trying to minimize where it can go. They'll use bikes to keep pace with her.

Everyone else will be left mobile and ready, attempting to intercept her before she tries to go so deep in the ruins that tracking her down is unfeasible. Ideally she'd have used up enough resources that they can mop her up without too much difficulty (Thread 2, of which the Shadow and pursuers enter.)

All groups will be in contact via a radio and coordinate their locations relative of things thanks to an as accurate and complete a map of as much of the ruins as possible.

Edit: Benkei might talk with Hiroko about using his armored form for a more effective first strike. But very unlikely considering the downside for him and how unlikely that is to work considering the trick's been tried once already.

Alright. Bog has offered to add Rio Matsushita to the mission for coordination/wide-range scanning purposes, which would make directing everyone toward the Shadow that much easier. Let me know when all of you are ready to begin. If Dante wants to do a short encounter with the Shadow involving Nishiyo before the main hunt happens that's possible, but otherwise we'll assume the rest of the Persona-users (for once) mobilized and united in much too timely a fashion and there was no time to attempt weakening the Shadow before the rest of the hunters went after it.

Posting this as a reminder:

The first thread is a go. The team involved in thread one is Wei, Benkei, Isoroku, and Hiroko. I will be DMing Shadow Kyo and entering as the real Kyo when appropriate.
