TWF PRELUDE: MOSSDEEP B-2

Naomi Sato's curry entry

[break]
thread summary: War looms. As Neffatari Nzingha works at the Mossdeep space center (as an undercover Rocket, who has secretly granted access to other members of Rocket), The Visionary leads a team of Rocket grunts into the building. As alarms blare, Noel Parker arrives on the scene. A potent threat toward their efforts, Nomi leads the two on a wild goose chase into the observatory's restricted sections, until they reach a door they cannot bypass until Mark Cunningham opens it remotely via hacking efforts. However, the operation is complicated by unplanned developments, including the appearance of the DRK Triad...

why is it important?: The prelude threads have been an amazing way to showcase the unique and complex ways characters on both sides (Rocket and League) are grappling with the challenges, tragedies, and opportunities of war. This thread in particular showcases both the not-often-seen villainous side of Nomi as well as a defeat for the Visionary: though she is able to help Nenet secure blueprints and secret data, as well as support Nenet's League cover, Nomi is injured by Noel and unable to find Father Winter despite hearing from him and being attacked by DRK Triad assassins. She ends the thread disoriented, bleeding, and worried for parker jones's safety (who is also in Mossdeep, fighting for Nomi). Putting Nomi in Mossdeep during the war also means she will not be in Sootopolis when her house gets destroyed; this thread ends on a semi-cliffhanger in which Nomi realizes her home is being assaulted.

Ultimately, this thread explores themes of defeat, inevitability, fate & destiny, partnership and the deepening of bonds between likeminded academics, descent into villainy and embracing feelings of resentment/grudge, and divine intervention.

thread summary: Kazuya enters a Rocket tournament to test his new team's mettle. It doesn't go as he wishes.[break]

why is it important?: This event gave me an opportunity to learn about Kazuya's battling style and how he fits into Rocket as a whole. It also allowed me to see how his ideals can sometimes be at odds with what he has to do.
