The plan had to be refined in order to be fully effective. "Well, I could go home and find some satellite images and topographic maps of the area of the Internet, if that's possible without being caught. As for the tunnel issue, if we can somehow find a rideable lawn-mower engine and use the power-takeoff function and shaft, we could probably come up with a monsterous circular dirt-clearing blade that would make a tunnel. Then, we could use the shovels to clear the excess dirt out of the tunnel. I don't know if this is a solution to the flaw, but it could be a start."

Moshi didn't participate in making ideas. She just took out a piece of paper and took notes on what they were saying. "Char charme?" Kurogi said to Moshi. "I don't think so," Moshi said back. " Lets wait and see. "Char me lele on! Char meelon!," Kurogi said in a ticked off tone. "Kurogi, I say were gonna stay with them till we know more about this, okay?" Moshi said, equally ticked off. Kurogi didn't say anything, but looked off to the side.

Yoshiko nodded. "Good idea, Enrique, but I wouldn't put it past the Koopas to put severe watch on the internet, and who uses it." He responded, looking to his companion. "Now then, I'd be happy myself to give a hand to any sort of work that is needed. We could begin digging now, but I'd feel better if I were scouting for now. I just want to make sure the entire area is clear of anything that we don't want here; better safe than sorry." Ko said, smirking at Enrique. Then, giving a low bow to Yoshee and Enrique, he departed, his shadowy wings propelling his gently through the air.

I responded to Yoshiko's concern on the Koopas' security on Internet activity. "Don't worry about it. All that will be downloaded will be satelite images of the area and a topographic map of the area. I developed a program that will send a logically invalid IP address to websites that I go to, so when the Koopas intercept the IP address, it would be impossible to trace the source."
I looked at the rest of the group. "Anyone else want to jump in?" I knew exactly where I was going to get the data that I was going to need. I am going to have to draw the "blueprint" of the area by hand, but I would be able to easily determine the optimal pathway toward the center of the base.

Putting the paper to side, I listened to the conversations. "We also need to know WHERE we'll be hiding. Do you have google Earth on your computer Enrique?" While talking, I thought...what to do?

Yoshiken escaped through a thick forest near the outpost, he looked back one last time at the corrupted building and its surroundings and then dashed through the trees. He silently walked forward trying not to make a noise just in case any Koopas were nearby.
After about 30 minutes he stopped to rest and suddenly heard something and decided to investigate. He backed himself into the shadows and saw what he thought to be a group of yoshis. He decided to see what they were up to...

Yoshiko put his hand firmly on the red Yoshi's shoulder, and turned him to face him, a grim frown set on his lips. "Y-Yoshiken!?" Ko spluttered, blinking rapidly. "What're you... What're you doing out here? I haven't seen you in at least a year!" Yoshiko exclaimed, pulling his old companion into a friendly hug. "I thought the Koopas had gotten you, and, knowing you, gotten yourself executed!" The black Yoshi said jokingly, staring into his old friend's clear blue eyes. "Wait. You--you haven't been sentn here by Koopas, have you? I-- I shouldn't be talking with you. Who knows what kind of bugs you've got on you." Ko said, turning away from Kenny, already realizing he'd said too much. If Yoshiken was bugged... Yoshiko couldn't... He'd have to... He'd have to 'take care of' Yoshiken.

"Hey Yoshiko! I never thought id meet you in a place like this!" Yoshiken surprisingly said. "Dont worry, I escaped from the Koopa outpost after a giant riot took place. My friends didnt make it out tho...I have to go back for them!" Yoshiken replied.
"Anyways! enough about me! why are you here? and what is this group of Yoshis here for?" Yoshiken exclaimed.

Yoshiko turned back around, relieved he wouldn't have to kill his best friend. The thought made him shudder. Shoving it to the back of his mind, Yoshiko grinned. "Well... I guess it's okay to tell you if you escaped." He said quietly, nodding. "We're the Rebels, Yoshiken. We're going to fight back against the Koopas. And something Teo found earlier kind of showed us that they're not as peaceful as they want us to think." Ko stated, leaning against the thick tree behind him. "We're making forts and bases here out of hollowed trees. And -- and I think that's all. Enrique came up with a great idea for us to tunnel under the bases, then bust up into the middle of them. But we had a slight problem with making such a large tunnel, which he answered to the best of his ability as well." The black Yoshi finished, and clasped his hand on his friend's shoulder. "Good to have you with us, Yoshiken."

Teo asked me if I used Google Earth. "Yes, I do; in fact, I was planning on using Google Earth to collect this data. Not only that, but I think I might make a blueprint on the tunneling device that I propose that we use; we're going to have to make it ourselves." I looked down at the ground; it was as if the coast was clear to get out of the tree and make my way home for the planning. "Okay, does anyone want to come to my house with me?"

"I'll come!" I said, wanting to help in the best of my abilities. Life gives you lemons, make lemonade... life gives you a problem, find a solution... life makes you tunnel in a strict amount of time, gather what you have and what you need. Thinking with expressions has many times saved my skin. To shudder a few times it was my skin at stake. We were attacking a fort that was well placed near a ledge. Attacking from the sea would be difficult and there is only one way we can come. The soil rocky... Jack hammer? Tunnels? Dynamite? Wait...that's it!!
"Guys, I think we can skip the digging!! These guys couldn't possibly go without a small sewage system, could they?? Where do wastes go? That's why Yoshi's Island is becoming polluted, they've been tossing things into the sea, which means... they must have a system to chuck things... without leaving the base. We can find that way, and go into the fort like that! There are some minor issues, such as where we'll show up, but this will cut up a huge amount of time! I think this may work!!"

I listened to Teo's idea; however, a problem was found in the idea. "The sewage system that they use utilizes a waste exhaust system that is to narrow for us to travel. The output pipe is not wide enough for us to travel through. Also, there is a health risk as well." I started by way towards my house, and signaled Teo to come. "Still, I need a layout of the base. Without it, we'll be digging around aimlessly."

"Looks like we'll be digging." There should be a better way though... there always is. Disguise? Bribing? Spies? Wait, didn't Yoshiken work there just a few hours back? What if... Hmmm... "Enrique... tell me, didn't Yoshiken work at the base we're aiming? He might be able to get access to some blue-prints...or at least penetrate where we can't. Just...a thought." This would be among my last ideas, I felt like I was getting too chatty... and I hate it when people think that of me. Besides, I'm out of ideas.

Teo give me a good idea about having Yoshiken help us in the revolution, since he worked at the base that we were planning to attack, and would have better access to its resources. "You know what, Teo? That's a good idea. If we can get Yoshiken to get to the areas of the base that we would have a lot of difficulty with, we would have a better chance of issuing the revolution more effectively. However, I haven't contacted Yoshiken in days. If you can find a way to communicate with him, that would help our chances even better." However, I always had the plan of figuring out the base layout the longer way if that wasn't successful. I just hope that Yoshiken will comply...

"Hmmm... yes... that seems to be an issue." I hid a small smile... I liked to feel helpful, but I didn't like to show it all the time. Back to the issue of what we were going to dig with, I had to figure that out... and so had everyone else better... hopefully... maybe... If I resorted to hopping, I'd never get anywhere! OOC: Are we there yet? This has been a LONG walk to your house

After the discussion concerning Yoshiken's involvement in the plan, Teo and I finally reached my house. I quickly rushed in the front door and turned my computer on. I hope that I don't get caught trying to create a plan against the Koopas... Finally, my computer turned on, and I quickly opened Google Earth. I had to hurry because the Koopas' internet security could be randomly watching over my connection at any time.

"Man, you have fast connection... my old computer never worked this fast." How'd that slip? I was supposed to be a person that lived without technology and stuff now... but I couldn't help but think of my old life, lot simpler... and dull. "Lesse... where would yoshies island be on Earth? I've never been able to pin-point it myself."

I directed Google Earth to an area that seemed to be in the middle of nowhere in the tropical Atlantic Ocean; there stood Yoshi's Island. "It's in open season territory for hurricanes." I quickly printed the satelite image of the base camp and the closest thing to a topographic map that I could find. It didn't quite get specific on elevation, but I gound out that there isn't a whole lot of digging room until we would hit sea level.
I took out another sheet of paper and sketched the proposed digging machine. It would look like a normal riding lawn-mower, except that it had a giant disc about 10 feet away from it oriented vertically. The disc also had pointed rods pointing away from the engine around the circumference of it. "This is what the machine will look like. What do you think?"

"we are going to do some scaring first off until the others come. then we shall attack." red used his lance spell tag, as a lance, the size of two reds, appeared in reds hand. he then started to run faster, and faster kicking up dust. he was getting ready to use the invisible spell tag.
there where some pros and cons to using this strong spell. red would be invisible until he used the return spell tag. he wouldnt be able to open doors, or move heavy objects. he could move small objects, however. red could also be easily heard.
"now!" shouted red, grabbing all the guard koopas attention. they aimed their weapons at red and lumiere. lumiere took a heavy stop, kicking up lots of dust, and red concealed himself with the spell tag. no more red. no more lumiere. red snuck into the village, and found a place where he and lumiere could sleep. reds lance had also gained the effect of invisible.
