B

It is announced that one of our more modern cruisers, the SFN Pylos, will be deployed to escort the visitors back to their home country, carrying with them a sample of our technology. This includes an electrical generator, batteries, and (off the books) the wormhole. All mention of andantesite has been carefully kept off the records given to Magellan. Loading has begun, the ships have re-docked at the capital, and the wormhole is being moved from Brazil HighCom to Argentina Capital.

Hidden dice will later be rolled to determine the success of this cover story



Intermission: Big Damn Heroes

By this time a contact team has been sent to Armen’s parents near Cape Horn to give them news of their daughter’s betrayal. Her mother and stepfather greet them. When they hear that it’s about Armen, the mother responds by asking,

“Oh, did that smartass guy get her in trouble again?”

“What guy?” asks the official in charge of delivering the news.

“That fast-talking chap she dumped in her high school years,” her stepfather replies. “Bound to have trouble when your ex is your Commanding Officer. I think his name was Cellworth… or Ceiling… or something…”

“Celling?” prompts the official.

“Yeah, that guy.”



Meanwhile, it is found the Lieutenant Wenton Celling has abandoned his post and taken a boat in pursuit of Edlin, leaving a note saying thus:

“If you won’t fight the plot, then I will.”

What do you do about him?
A: Give him another round of public denouncement, formally strip him of his rank, and send someone to get him back here for court-marshalling!
B: We have bigger fish to fry than a vengeful lieutenant. Leave him alone, quietly cover it up, take no action, and do not let it get public.
C: If he intends to go up against the plot armor, he isn’t going to be able to do it alone. Attempt to find him as soon as possible and get in communication so we can help him.

*spit take*
For the love of God, Celling...

C, this man probably has plot armor of his own and I want his support.

The agent that just acts for his own against the heroes because he thinks that it's what it should be done or for the greater good?

The viewers usually like this kind of "villian" that breaks the 4th wall

And is the ex-boyfriend of a rebel

So he is the most capable of killing them

C because we need to make sure he will not change sides too

If anyone can find a TvTropes page dedicated to people like Celling, then I will switch my d6 for a d7, no questions asked, substituted into every roll.

Let's see...
There's the Determinator, for one.
And he's clearly a Fourth Wall Observer.
And I'd be surprised if he's not a Recurring Boss, at least from the rebels' view.
And we might probably consider him to have been subject to a Mook Promotion.
That enough?

EDIT: Ah, here's the Enigmatic Minion, too. Not quite sure if that one counts, though, but hey.

The specific aspect I wanted troped was "Thinks he's smarter than the rest of his organization". He hasn't really demonstrated exceptional determination, but you're right, he's clearly a fourth wall observer.

Yes, from the hero's perspective he's a recurring boss. He's certainly a Mook Promotion if promoting yourself by flaunting control of the fourth wall counts - this one is enough to earn a new facet on the dice. He's enigmatic from the standpoint of the heroes only - we know what he's doing pretty well.

Would still like a trope closer to my actual aspect request, but these are all good!

He is deliberately going to attack people that he knows have plot armor, BT.

EDIT: Here, have a Rogue Agent. That probably fits his actions.

He's doing this in supreme (over)confidence that because he can break the fourth wall, he can break the plot armor as well. He thinks that since he's conscious of his role in the plot, he can run circles around the heroes. It's arrogance, really, plus perhaps getting driven mad by love, regret, and vengeance. Think Artemis Fowl.

That does give me an idea regarding the tropes, though. You can either A: Keep them here and gain a bonus dice (d7 rather than d6) or B: Transmit them through the Fourth Wall directly to Lt. Celling, to let him do as he will. On the one hand it'll add to his already formidable genre savviness, on the other hand it'll inflate his ego and weaken the Fourth Wall.

Can we send him Made of Indestructium?

EDIT: Or I guess Made of Iron is the right one for a person.

Nope, just the ones you listed earlier. Give him a clearer picture of just who he is in the plot, so that he can study the relationships and use them to his advantage.

See, either the dice (a real-world thing that affects the fake world) or Celling (fake world thing breaking the 4th wall) get affected by this decision. Of course, there's always the problem of him gaining direct control over the fourth wall and taking over the SPAMOVERLORD reality, Agent Smith style.

Dice. Dice are more generally useful.

Me, the chance of him becoming agent smith and we having to ask the heroes to save us is appealing B

inb4: We creating an "fourth-wall-breaker-hammer-terminator-3000" to exterminate plot armor, of course, it will probably require rare mineral number 31245 and something imoral.


(I just noticed that I don't even know where this INB4 thing begun or what it really means, I just begun using someday)
