Meanwhile in Luceti
Now we get down to the details of what will go down in the village. This is not entirely finalized stuff, because it is somewhat reactive to what's being plotted by characters. But we'll go through a run down of how things will probably go. This only concerns things in the village during the draft. So if you don't have any characters in the village for this, feel free to disregard.
So far the plan we've seen, thanks to the town meeting is to use decoys of Bil. John will be providing a Shift that will temporarily nullify barcode signals, while also making the decoys produce a Shift that will attract Shift Hunters. It will be up to the individual abilities of the people in Luceti to make these decoys look like Bil himself. Once that part of the plan is in motion...
June 19th - The draftees will all be gone by 9AM. Around then is when the rain will pick up. Steady rain in the evening. Nothing too exciting here.
June 20th - Thunderstorms rattle Luceti. The clouds are very clearly blocking in Luceti, so don't expect to see an inch of sunlight until this is all over.
June 21st - Torrential rain, heavy wind (between 34 knots (39 mph) and 64 knots (74 mph)), thunderstorms throughout the day. At 10PM, droids and Shift Hunters will begin to emerge from the mountains and forests. They will operate in parties of three - two droids and one Shift Hunter.
These droids just want Bil. Please cooperate!
The majority of these droids will be the original model, responsible for kidnapping. They are tough and quick machines, capable of calculating and reacting to the actions of their opponents. They possess no special abilities, save for greater than human strength and speed, as well as chemical agents to disable their victims. Although difficult to beat because of their superior combat skills, extremely powerful blows can damage them. A sufficiently powerful electrical charge can short circuit them as well.
The Shift Hunters are tamed beasts, similar to those that were seen in the Luceti Valley event. They will not attack unless attacked first (or their accompanying droids are attacked). These vicious creatures attack swiftly and possess a rapid regeneration ability. The only way to permanently kill them is to behead them.
A small minority of the upgraded droids (who were responsible for first attacking Bil) will be present as well. These incredibly powerful droids are capable of mimicing the powers of any person previously kidnapped by the Malnosso. They can combine multiple powers and their parts can quickly repair themselves. There is presently no way to permanently defeat them.
These teams of three will be unhampered by the incredibly fierce weather conditions. The Shift Hunters will be hunting by using their natural ability to detect Shifts. The droids themselves can withstand the weather conditions and have no negative impacts to their mobility or sensors. Not only will they be attracted to Bil and his decoys, but filial magic and people suffering from lingering kidnapping effects will stick out to them as well. They are here to conduct a raid, but they are not here to kill. Anyone who hampers their progress will be attacked and although it is a possibility for characters to be fatally injured, the droids and beasts are instructed to disable resistance and avoid unnecessary death.
As for the decoys, all of them will inevitably be collected. They will be disabled and taken into custody, as they would during any normal kidnapping. This will remove them from the enclosure until the 23rd.
June 22nd - The droids will continue their search until 2AM. If Bil has been properly hidden, then he will remain in Luceti unharmed. However the weather conditions will continue until 11PM. This weather is EXTREMELY powerful and there is a high risk of buildings being damaged or outright destroyed. This is at the discretion of the players who have characters who live in the houses or run the shops. This will be important later in regards to repairs.
June 23rd - In the village, the storm has diminished to light rain. The village will be damaged and some people may be in need of aid. However, the decoys will have something else to deal with...
In a Malnosso Facility (very similar to the Infiltration Plot two years ago), the decoys will wake up. Thanks to John, they were less affected by the compound the droids used to disable them. Not only that, but they'll be in full possession of their powers. What does this mean? They'll be able to escape their cells.
What then? Well, that's up to the individual characters. They can attempt to free kidnapped characters from other enclosures, attempt to destroy as much as they can, attack the scientists and guards, seize valuable information, or flee to the outside world. However, while they will have opportunities to try all of the above with limited success, ULTIMATELY they will be detained by the new droids through whatever measures are necessary. Once contained, they will be returned to Luceti (most likely heavily injured) the following morning on the 24th.
However, we ask that there be no more than ten decoys in all. If there is over ten decoys volunteered, then we'll randomly select ten. Those that are not chosen will simply be missed by the droids (or their disguise will be seen through) during their search of Luceti and not captured. Whatever the decoys attempt to do in the Malnosso facility, we'll help you figure out what they can do or discover, but most of it will be handwaved or be threaded among yourselves.
One probable outcome due to the struggle that will ensue in the facility is damaging the machinery responsible for automating the automatic repairs in Luceti. Consequently, for the week following the hurricane, the buildings may not self-repair. Therefor it will be up to people in Luceti to make these repairs themselves or to simply wait for the self-repair Shifts to activate.
Remember, the characters have no idea they will get a chance to run free in a Malnosso facility. So plan accordingly and smartly!
Please put questions in the MOD QUESTIONS thread. If you want your character to be used as a decoy, note that in the DECOY SIGNUP thread. The rest of this post can be used for discussion!

Plot things!
There's a really good chance this place is gonna get all torn up even without the droids doing their searching. That weather is dangerous! Once it starts to subside, though, Nephry is going to put together a group of people who are able to go around and clear paths and get any imperiled people to safety.
She is going to need help. Help organizing, help actually doing the stuff, help keeping the Non-Drafted Shounen Hero Brigade (not to be confused with the SOS Brigade) from running off into the hurricane and getting themselves wet.
There'll be a post with a more specific plan and the group can definitely stay together after the event and keep clearing things out, particularly if the auto-repair shifts stop working for a while.
So! Those of you left in the village for this, it takes all types - so don't think that if you play a noncombatant or a scrawny kid or a silent shadowstalker that yours couldn't help out! If you'd like a more detailed outlining of what I'd thought of so far, I will happily stick one in as a reply, with map and everything. Right now I just want to hear from characters who'd help out, particularly if they'd want an in-charge role (like being the head person of a group assigned to check through, for example, the plaza area for any stuck or stranded residents).
Thoughts?

But he wouldn't be good at being in an in-charge role. But yep, just thought I'd volunteer him.
