Telepathic message, during the Awakened battle

[kokuyoyo]

We're not getting anywhere. These things aren't the real threat, and they're only going to keep coming.

Second round, pay attention.

If your username had a wheel, immediately look for people who are murdering these things with apparent experience. Keep finding more of them. Make sure a group can keep you safe. Stay away from the lockers.

If you had a pair of blades, find the people being most targeted and defend them. If these things get rid of us Navigators, you'll die easily.

Do that immediately.

And for everyone... We need to lure the true form of our enemy out. These rats are just meant to exhaust us.

If we can find a way to a larger area like the gymnasium, we should set up bait. Since these things want Navigators so badly, some of us should be what sets the trap.

[There's the sound of a mental sigh that whispers through everyone's minds.]

Unless anyone has any better ideas...

How can you think of a pun at this time...

[sociallyarcward]

It was more a metapho---is that really important?

[kokuyoyo]

No, which is why I didn't say anything until you did.

I'll stop if you do.

[sociallyarcward]

Fine.

...

Have we even figured out a way to get to the gym yet?

[kokuyoyo]

The current popular thought is explosives.

[sociallyarcward]

okay. Let's say this works and we get into the gym. Besides 'set bait' what is the overall plan? You'd probably have fewer people freaking out if you had a more cohesive strategy than just the vague idea of 'let's set bait and a trap'.

[kokuyoyo]

That's the reason I sent out this message: I don't know what everyone can do or what everyone has on them.

It's not as if I said we should just throw them to the rats yet too many people take it that way.

[sociallyarcward]

Then maybe you should have asked specifically for that. Bait has some pretty negative connotations and people took it the wrong way....

Ugh, it doesn't matter now it's too late to take it back. Look, you have some volunteers. Find out their abilities by asking DIRECTLY and then figure out for sure if your explosion plan to the gym will even work. If it doesn't, then this whole bait thing is a moot point anyway.

[kokuyoyo]

There's nothing else to call it.

Not necessarily. It just makes the plan more difficult.

[sociallyarcward]

And what's the plan for no explosions then?

[kokuyoyo]

That depends on how well we can figure out the layout of this place, thus organizing people into groups and setting out the bait Navigators in a place that will still seem vulnerable but allow for immediate protection from Combatants or escape for the Navigators.

We don't have any other options, Jaune. These rats won't stop coming, and they're going to wear us down if we don't take action soon, along with the threat of the lockers.

We need to lure the main source out.

[sociallyarcward]

I'm not sure we have time to figure out the layout---we're going to have to move fast now.

I know, that's why I'm trying to get this plan fleshed out. I know we can't over plan because there is too much going on...but we can be better prepared.
