Will there be a post on your or Trickster's end that initiates this? I agree that a massive collab right now would be messy but I know personally I'm afraid to take the reins for fear of making another mess. I guess I'm asking for a little direction, maybe a suggestion as to who should collab with whom and etc.

First off, you did great fdeviant with the last collab so don't think you made a mess. In fact you prevented stagnation which is a key killer of rps and arcs alike, so don't ever be worried about pushing forward as long as you 1. make it clear in the OoC, 2. wait a day or two for an answer, and 3. talk to me to make sure you're not stepping on my toes. It's pretty simple and so far, you've been a lot of fun to have in the arc as has everyone else. 

To answer your questions: Yes, Tricks, NN and my post will be setting up the scene for the heroes and what they have to deal with. I have an additional post, which only forewarns of Gene Co arriving later, and gives structure to why/when Gene Co is coming. So base line outline for the to do list is as follows: 

1. Hero's collab with Tear brings in Justine, who will likely meet everyone there at spot indicated a bit away from the Ironworks/whatever. 
2. NN, Tricks, and mine sets up the scene you'll have to deal with. 
3. I might suggest talking out plans, ideas or how/what you all would like to do in the scene in order to make sure you get to play it out in the arc while we're working on the Collab. The details I can give you is there's numerous armed military thugs, a containment unit for Rach (which she'll likely be in and unable to help), Cowl and Odette waiting for Gene Co to arrive. [@NeutralNexus] will likely give details on the box as well as the threats around it like his men, their weapons, etc. As for the collabs, think of it this way: are there any characters in the group of Heroes you would like to see Joseph team up with or Villain you want to engage with? If so, give a shout out to the player, wait 2-4 days for a yes or no. If yes, then create a doc/pad and make a small collab. 

Another way of doing it would be if you see a pc struggling then give a shout out in the OoC for a team up or request for help, then write a small fight scene. I'm trying to keep this as simple but give as much freedom as possible as I don't like railroading or assigning stuff, unless it's to move story, because it feels over controlling. 

The Heroes main goal, over all, is to get Rach away Cowl, and Odette and later Gene Co when they arrive. So a good idea first is to locate Rach at least and see what condition she is in, then next is to assert what issues they have to deal with.
