[b]Interactions:[/b] Alistair Thorne ([@Melkor]), Mavis Limit ([@KoL]), Hiro Valentine* ([@Sync])[/center][hr]

[color=7dd203][i]'There[/i] must [i]be something we're missing, here,'[/i][/color] Raphel furrowed his brow, still trying to figure out the one snag in all the plans that he'd attempt to devise thus far; how to get past the invader's defenses. Judging from the failed snipe that he made earlier, he knew that it was well-armored. Possibly from head to toe. That was the main reason that a Striker was necessary, as they were the only class that could really inflict the damage necessary to try and break it apart.

Thankfully, Raphel and Hiro had [i]one[/i] Striker that was assigned to him team in Alistair Thorne, and while he was supposed to be assisting another team for this main mission, he was here now and ready to be put to use. However, just before he could relay to Alistair what he was thinking in terms of a plan, a transmission came in on an open channel.

[color=de3163]"Actually, I do have a plan to end this thing but it’s a little, erm... unorthodox. If you guys wanna know, just say it."[/color]

It was a girl from one of the other teams... and she sounded rather confident. Did she figure out something Raphel overlooked? Was he trying to attack the problem from completely the wrong angle? Curious to know what this girl was thinking, Raphel wasted no time in picking up his receiver.

[color=7dd203]"Well, I myself was considering having our team attempt to behead the enemy,"[/color] Raphel told the girl, looking over to Hiro and Alistair as well as he spoke into the receiver, [color=7dd203]"Hiro's Tethers can grant more than enough speed for Alistair here to deliver the necessary blow, and I can keep the enemy still for him through the use of my Psionic Lockdown. My main concern is whether we can apply enough force to break through that armor; and [i]to[/i] that end, we may need more Strikers than we even have available. If your plan would better address the issue that I'm having, now would be the time to enlighten us."[/color]

...

Of course, Hiro and Alistair were welcome to suggest their own additions and/or alterations to Raphel's plan as well. They [i]were[/i] his teammates, after all.
