Settle The Score | The Assassination of Fenix Down (Player Plot Open-Log)
Who: Aelwyn + Anyone Who Wants To Be Involved In This Assassination
When: April
Where: Around Gloucester, Springfield, the Circus, assorted other locations.
Summary: A murder is planned, executed, and staged. The details are yet to come.
Warnings: Discussions of murder, actual murder, blackmail, espionage, gaslighting, TBA.
[Several months ago, following the Circus' initial visit, Aelwyn was given permission to take down Fenix Down and his circus. Now, after more recent revelations about their unseen enemy, the plan has become a higher priority.
The plan is as follows. To ensure that this doesn't implicate ADI, a false cult will be created for this specific purpose. They'll keep the entity behind it vague, but one must be selected to ensure anyone paying enough attention would be able to identify it. They'll create conspiracy theories, fabricate old reports from decades ago to make it seem like this group is only recently being resurrected.
And then, with that done, they'll execute the plan itself. Staging the kidnapping and murder as if it was the act of that cult, and an extensive interrogation.

THE PLAN
The Shadowcats will be portrayed as a cult of the Dark, with elements of the Slaughter. Their M.O will be in plunging entire streets into complete darkness and then leaving destruction to be discovered when the lights flicker back on. Largely benign and simple in their fanatical worship of the Dark, they mostly travel place to place and cause minor incidents. That is, unless crossed, in which case they will leave corpses in their wake. Sometimes just one, sometimes a group, once it was an entire riot squad.
As such, we will be plunging the circus and the surrounding streets in a complete and total blackout. We'll do this after we've captured Fenix, who will be lured out shortly before we take out the other avatars. We have been advised to avoid relying on simple bullets for this. Freezing them with liquid nitrogen will work and allow us to prevent them from regenerating, as will contaminating them physically with sawdust and then blowing them up or decapitating them. Human casualties are to be avoided, but it's expected that some of them will get in the way of their own free will, and the priority is the safety of our own people. If they do get in the way, aim to incapacitate. Ideally we'll leave them discouraged about continuing their little act.
Our targets are Fenix, Penny and Roderick. Fenix is the only one to be taken alive.
You've all done really well so far, and I'd like to personally thank those who've taken part in the whisper campaign for all the help. As for the ones who are getting started now? Good luck. And stay safe.
