Poking-the-Train Player Plot Pitch!

If it is reasonable to assume the following pieces of information were shared post-Q&A:

>"Interfacing with passengers requires large amounts of processing power."

>The whole 'the train needs your trust and your compliance' deal.

Then, come this next platform, Nita is going to make contacting the train a group project, inviting all those with wizardry, psychic, or related abilities to help her make a more energy-efficient way for the train to talk to them, and as part of a demonstration of trust being a two-way street.

Individual and even two-person efforts for chatting with the train have not been very successful; the idea for this is to make a 'mental conference' zone and just... mill about in it. Try to elicit the train's curiosity.

Which CR participates will determine whether the train is summoned (people attempt to 'pull' the train into the zone) or if there is the mental equivalent of a conveniently-open door for it. The nature of Young Wizards' verse wizardry lends more power to the latter idea, but given how people currently feel about the Voidtrecker Express... Well.

Please comment on this post if you wish to have your character participate; there will be either a Network or Log post on the IC 29th where Nita brings up her plan to the train at large, though castmates will have been introduced to the idea sooner.

I plan to submit this as a Player Plot if a minimum of six people sign up, but that is not a hard upper OR lower limit!

Update: As promised, I have submitted a Player Plot writeup for this thing! Thank you all for your time. ^^
