Saturn Valley, Trip 1: Meeting with Dr. Saturnious!

[Zenthor]

"Okay, so we stop them from communicating with the moon.  Or stop the ones on the moon from telling what's going on on earth.  How?  Destroy their factories?  Look, Bobble-head-thing, I'm all for blowing crap up, but those aliens are too strong for us to do that."  Jade crossed her arms.  "Unless you're thinking of a plan that doesn't involve explosions, in which case I don't like it."

[Dracos]

"No explosions you say?  Well that scraps plans one through fifteen." The saturn creature frowned.  "You sure?  Not even a little one?  I so like they data plots they produce."

Dr. Saturnious frowned.  "Anyhow, they sent out a set of advance scout groups to create a foothold here.  Disrupting these will likely cause huge delays in thier invasion.  If you could sneak in and get rid of the enemy commander and/or damage thier equipment, it should bring proceedings in either of their advance camps to a grinding halt."

Phil nods. "That makes sense," he agrees. "And we already know about two places they're building bases - just outside Sixton and near that mountain Jade went to. I just bet that dog-thing I saw is one of their leaders."

[Zenthor]

"Sounds like a good of a plan as any.  Sneak in and destroy their equipment and run out before getting destroyed yourself.  Even if we're not strong enough to kill them all, destroying their stuff should be fine."

[Brian]

"We'll need to be fast, and sneaky," Liao says.  "I think we'll also want to make sure we can use my trick to get away, if we need to.  And that means running room."

[Zenthor]

"So the Evermount's out, then due to lack of running room for Meow.  I guess our first target will be the aliens near Nerdboy's home, then."  Jade said with a smirk.

[Dracos]

"That sounds like a good plan, yep." Dr. Saturnious agreed.  "A map though!"  He tapped a few buttons and shoved a whole pile of stuff off a table...suddenly a satelite image of the area from above appearing on the table.

Phil studied the map with interest, the territory making itself known to him after a few moments' study. "Okay... here's the cave that leads under the mountains," he says, pointing to a spot on the map. "And the alien base is here. All the stuff in between is mostly low hills, with a few trees - you can see those at least. I don't know if there's anything underground there - I wasn't able to get that close - but it wouldn't surprise me."

OOC: >_>

Dr. Saturnious hopped on top of Jade's head, getting a better look.  "You should be able to get pretty close using those mountain caves."

"Gyah!"  Jade nearly lost her balance when the oversized head dropped onto her.

After regaining her balance, she looked at the map.  "'Kay, so we know we can do it.  So what do we destroy?  The dog thing or their equipment?"

[Brian]

"Their tools, first," Liao opines.  "Unless we have no choice.  But the less they have to work with, the easier they will be to deal with, I think."

[Dracos]

"If you were to damage their communication dishes, that should prevent them from calling for help or ice cream." Dr Saturnious pointed out.

[Halbarad]

"I didn't see any communications stuff when I was there before, but then I was mostly interested in the ships. I think I can get us back there easily enough, if Liao can get us to Sixton. There's no telling how things might have changed since I last saw it, so I think we should just go and decide on what to do once we've got a better idea of what we're up against."

Phil looks around at his companions for approval.

[Zenthor]

"I'm fine with that, but first... We need weapons.  Lighting things on fire gets me tired at times, and I doubt Meow's walking will do much."  Jade eye's darted up to the thing on her head.  "Is there a place to.. uh, buy stuff at around here?"

[Dracos]

"Stuff of what kinds need you?" Dr. Saturnious asked.
