The Return of Round Robin Fanadventures

Hi shippers! Welcome to Bonus Round 2.
Round Robin Fanadventures generated so much awesome stuff last year that we decided to bring it back!

For those who are new to HSO, this is not actually that complicated a concept, but it might be a little tricky to explain, so bear with me. The point of this round is to create a bunch of fanadventures that are for a team other than your own.

Rules

1. If you are starting a new adventure: start a new thread using the title format defined below. Include either text or 1-2 pieces of embedded art setting a scene (or both!), and finish with a command (==> does not count as a command for new threads). Then sit back and wait for someone else to contribute!
   
2. If you are continuing an adventure: find a thread that does not center around your team's ship. Then comment using the title format defined below. Include either text or 1-2 pieces of embedded art continuing the scene (or both!), and finish with a command (this can include ==>, though generally we would prefer otherwise). Then sit back and wait for someone else to contribute!
   
3. For ease of reading, we suggest using standardized image sizes. 600x400 landscape is a pretty good size! But as long as it's the same as the other images in the thread, people will have an easier time following along. The HTML for inserting images is <img src="http://yourimageurlhere.com">
   
4. For this challenge, there is no minimum wordcount. We are trusting you not to abuse that fact!
   
5. You may not comment twice in a row in one adventure. The point is to hand off the scene like a hot potato.
   
6. You may not introduce or create for your team's ship into a fanadventure. If someone else introduces your team's ship to a thread, you can still contribute to that thread so long as your contributions do not involve your ship.
   
7. This challenge will run until 11:59PM EDT July 7. After that time, even if it's just by a minute according to the LJ timestamp, no submissions will be accepted for points.

NOTES:

• Audio posts are fine, so long as you include a transcript.
  
• Please make sure to check that your titles are correct!
  
• You may answer commands that have already been answered. Think of it like a 'choose your own adventure' game!
  

Title Format
If you are starting a new thread, use this format in your title.
New [THEIR SHIP] Game (FILL: TEAM [YOUR SHIP])
Replace [THEIR SHIP] with the ship you want this particular fanadventure thread to be. Remember that you cannot create a fanadventure based on your own ship. Whatever ship you choose must be represented by a HSO team not your own. The only exception is gen adventures, which are permitted.
Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with. If your team name is not in this format and in the title it may not be counted.

If you are continuing a thread, use this format in your title.
[COMMAND] (FILL: TEAM [YOUR SHIP])
Replace [COMMAND] with whatever command the previous fill has specified.
Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with.
If your title is not in this format it may not be counted.

Posts not using this format in the title will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, no matter what they contain. They, like all comments on the comm, are subject to the Wank Policy.

Scoring
(as stated here)
First 5 entries per team: 30 (per entry)
Entries 6-10: 20 (per entry)
Entries 11-15: 10 (per entry)
Entries 16+: 5 (per entry)

All fanadventure content must be created new for this round.

We would prefer that any questions about this challenge or anything else in the HSO be emailed to us at homestuck.shipping AT gmail!

Jade: Contact "Reinforcements" (FILL: TEAM: ARADIA<3FEFERI)

[hoodedscarlet]

By 'reinforcements', you're really just exaggerating - you only have one. Davesprite - or Dave as he prefers to be called.
Although you were unable to rescue John, you were able to rescue Davesprite on the night you escaped thanks to a swipe card key on a particularly weak guard. The original Dave's whereabouts you don't know - and honestly, you don't really want to find out.
From what little information you've managed to worm out of your feathered partner, the experiments the scientists conducted were so violent they literally ripped Dave into two halves - and if this Dave was the better of the two halves with his wild mood swings, bouts of rage and bird like qualities. (you've yet to find out why that happened - or why he's orange) If this is the better of two halves, you don't want to meet the worst. The only reason he's even returned here is to repay you for saving him.

All of this all the more reason to keep your promise.

Dave settles down beside you on the ledge, orange tinted glasses catching what little moonlight there is tonight, the pale rays making his wispy tail appear almost transparent.
It's almost midnight - you need to act now.

Jade: Begin phase one of your plan. (FILL: TEAM JOHN<3VRISKA)

Phase One: Cause a distaction

Er, distraction.

This part of the plan is mostly on Davesprite; his wings don't do so well in closed locations, so you devised a plan to keep him outside. It's alarmingly simple - he makes a move as though to break in, and attracts attention at the front. Meanwhile, you sneak in the back. It'd be more effective with more people, but you'll have to make due with who you have.

But then, "who you have" are a couple of genetically engineered powerhouses. You're not entirely outmatched.

You give Dave the signal - a simple nod - and he floats down below and begins to make a racket. You watch only long enough to make sure the guards are drawn in by the noise before you slink off.
