Contingency Plan Delta-Tau

As we all know, Gotham’s favourite playboy has recently adopted eight-year-old Richard Grayson-Wayne after attending the final performance of Haly’s Circus in Gotham, where Mary and John Grayson sadly perished. Since then, neither Bruce Wayne nor his new charge have been seen in the public, and none of his previous hook-up regulars have been contacted, begging the question: did he adopt a child solely to fulfill his own pedophilic fantasies? …

And if you have, does Dick know?

Dead inside,

Subject: Meeting Scheduling — Contingency Plans

Oracle,

As you are aware, our nighttime activities are highly illegal and we will not always be able to rely on Commissioner Gordon’s willingness to look the other way to close cases. In light of this, I believe it would be in our best interest to formulate various contingency plans should we be exposed as vigilantes or otherwise unable to continue our work.

With Robin joining us, it is especially important we plan for every outcome.

Will you be free this Thursday at 6 pm?

Batman,

Please find attached version 1.0 of the Delta Tau protocol.

Violently hungover,

Oracle

DT_Protocol_1.pdf

Circumstances: IF law enforcement or other similar personnel believe RG-W to be injured regularly,

AND they investigate in an official capacity,

AND they get close to discovering Batman or Robin’s civilian identities,

AND they are unable to be bribed/threatened/otherwise silenced or redirected,

Action to be taken:

THEN they are to be pointed in the direction of BW,

AND provided with enough evidence to believe BW abuses RG-W

Actions taken by law enforcement up to and including arrest, trial, and imprisonment are to be allowed provided they do not risk masked identities.

This is a very good start. I believe Delta Tau will have to be a living document as our circumstances change both as vigilantes and civilians. I will provide comments by COB Monday. Please find attached a link to the appropriate file in the BatServer.

As Robin has suffered his first injury that will undoubtedly leave a scar, I have been thinking about the necessity of various explanations for this. We have told his school he fell out of a tree onto an iron fence. Should Delta Tau become necessary, an alternate explanation will be required.

As such, I have taken the liberty to create a spreadsheet to keep track of our stories for this injury and any that follow. It can be found here in the BatServer:

Jason Todd-Wayne, Bruce Wayne’s newest adopted son, looks strikingly similar to Richard Grayson-Wayne. And we can’t ignore the timing. With Richard set to move out soon, Wayne will be without an easy victim — or he would have been before Jason. Before his adoption, Jason was homeless, making any abuse worth enduring with the promise of food, shelter, and heat. …

Subject: Delta Tau Role

Nightwing,

I have not informed Robin of this aspect of the Delta Tau protocol. However, now that you are an adult, your role has changed. We should discuss your taking a more active role in contingency plan Delta Tau.

Robin — In the event that we have to trigger Delta Tau, you are in a position where you can legally take custody of Robin. You would have the manor, your trust, allowance, and will be in a position to access BW’s accounts after conviction with the right lawyers. You are under no obligation to do so, as Agent A is fully able and willing to take custody of Robin as he did me.

This is a discussion I encourage you have with Robin only once it becomes clear we have to go down this route.

WE — As BW’s eldest, you will be able to take my place as CEO. You do not have to do so immediately or ever. Fox is more than capable, and I know your interests do not lie in the private sector.

Victim statement/Testimony — You and Robin will most likely be subpoenaed for information in the event of an arrest and may be called upon to testify. We should discuss the broad strokes of your statement soon, as we may not have much time after the implementation. Agent A is in a similar position and we have discussed the outline of what he may testify to (subject to alterations depending on the specifics of the situation) and so would be available to help coach you.

Please review the attached documents.

As this is a sensitive and emotional topic, I have elected to email you this information to give you time to digest. Should you wish to discuss in person, I am always available.

Subject: Undercover Mission

Nightwing,

I have an undercover mission you might be interested in. It will require some skills that we do not use every night and would be good practice for you. The Justice League has seen an uptick of alien art being smuggled across and through Earth in recent years, including those painted with trace amounts of Kryptonite. We need someone to take on the alias of a thief to reclaim these works of art. Additionally, Diana has spent the past seventy-odd years since the war tracking down art the Nazis stole from Jewish families. Her evidence is good but not enough for a court of law, so part of this mission would be the repatriation of these works of art.

It would not be full-time, but would require a large chunk of dedicated time to set up the alias enough to generate a reputation for it. It would take you away from Gotham and Bludhaven for a while, but that might be good. Give you space.

Let me know what you think,

Subject: Delta-Tau Discussion

Boys,

Now that you are both legally alive adults, we should discuss your roles in the Delta-Tau Protocol. Feel free to discuss between yourselves. Below I have provided a brief outline of the kind of factors we should anticipate. I would discourage you from discussing the details of Delta-Tau with Robin. There is no need to cause him undue distress about a protocol that in all likelihood will not be triggered.

Robin — You would both be in the position to take custody of Robin, though he can also remain at the Manor with Agent A. I would encourage you to not involve him in your discussions until and unless it becomes necessary to implement Delta Tau.

WE — Either of you could take the helm of WE, though I know neither of you are keen on the private sector. R has expressed interest in WE, and I trust Fox entirely.

Victim Statement/Testimony — You two and Robin will most likely be subpoenaed for information in the event of an arrest and may be called upon to testify. We should discuss the broad strokes of your statement soon, as we may not have much time after the implementation. Agent A is in a similar position and we have discussed the outline of what he may testify to (subject to alterations depending on the specifics of the situation) and so would be available to help coach you. Nightwing and I have also had this discussion.

Please review the attached documents and come to me once you are ready.

Morning all,

Following the discovery of Spoiler last week, and her agreement to work with us, the following actions have been taken on the BatServer:

New email address created: [email protected]

New folder created: BS:\PROFILES\VIGILANTE\GOTHAM\Spoiler

New folder created: BS:\PROFILES\CIVILIAN\Stephanie-Brown

You’re welcome,

From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected]

Subject: New Member Package

Spoiler

I would like to welcome you to the team personally. I can see you have a lot of drive and potential, and I look forward to working with you. Since you are not one of my children, I recognize I hold no authority over you off the field. This will be new for all of us, so please tell me if I overstep. There are no punishments or consequences for setting boundaries between civilian and vigilante life.

Having said that, on the field I am your team lead and I have expectations for all those I fight beside.

INJURIES — Injuries you acquire during the course of your vigilantism MUST be reported, cataloged in your medical file, and treated. Injuries sustained in civilian life do not need to be reported. However, if they will impact your patrolling I expect to be updated. This will not prevent you from patrolling, but we all need to know our teammates limitations.

If the injury will impact your medical history or field readiness (i.e., a concussion) or treatment of future injuries (i.e., leaving behind internal scar tissue, bone fragments, or a resistance to/intolerance of drugs or compounds), then you do not have to notify me directly, but your medical file must be updated to reflect the injury.

SPOILER SUIT — This weekend, Alfred will take your measurements so we can get started on fitting you for your new suit. Additionally, we will discuss how you would like your suit to be designed and what you would like included. Ideally, we will find a good blend of Bat technology, vigilante uniform best practices and your own personal aesthetic accommodated to your fighting style.

Suits are to be stored in the Cave so that they can be properly repaired/cleaned/maintained in a controlled environment.

OVERNIGHT STAYS — Also this weekend, we will give you a tour of the manor — because you are certainly not restricted to the cave — and you will pick out a bedroom in the family wing. It is entirely up to you how much time you spend in that room and how you decorate it.

On occasion, you may be injured in patrol and be required to be monitored for a period of time (usually just the rest of the night), or you may simply not want to make the journey back into Gotham proper from Bristol after a long patrol. Whatever the reason, the room will be yours and yours alone for however long you are with us.

Please review the attached, and feel free to talk to any of us if you have questions. You will need to memorize the patrol routes, terminology, protocols, and codes. I believe Robin has flashcards somewhere from when he joined us that could prove useful.

Subject: Team Expansion Update

All,

As our team has expanded rapidly over the past year, I believe it is appropriate and necessary for us to seriously examine our best practices. In particular, since we have four of us to patrol most of Gotham (B, R, S, BB), we now have enough people to run simultaneous patrols. We also have quite a few different combinations of fighting styles available to us. I would like us to train together so we can find out how to best utilize our cumulative skill set.

N, RH: the two of you have the most experience creating patrol routes for your own territories. Please review the attached patrol route thoroughly and return with comments.

N, RH, R, S, BB: Please review the proposed training schedule and make sure it fits within your civilian schedule. If not, please note the times you will be available and flag the places you are not.

Subject: Patrol Routes v3

Hey,

I’ve reviewed version 3.01 of the patrol routes, and I have a few notes. First off, I noticed a couple instances where the routes overlapped a bit too much or left too many blocks unseen, and have provided my proposed edits in the attached pdf.

Secondly, while I recognize the intended purpose of maximizing coverage over as few routes as possible was to make it easier for myself and RH to memorize the routes as children, our youngest member of the colony is now R, and he is more than capable of memorizing many routes. In light of this, and of the changing roster (as both RH and I move in and out of Gotham frequently as availabilities allow and injuries of the Gotham core four occur), I believe it would be in our best interest to have more routes to accommodate for varying numbers of us.

For example, if all of us are in town we could cover much more ground in three teams of two, provided RH is amenable to patrolling outside his territory on occasion. Or if one of you Gotham core four are injured, a much reduced route taken by the remaining three could still cover the major flash points of the city.

I have noted my availabilities/schedule conflicts in the Proposed Schedule itself as I have no major concerns.

Let me know what you think!

From: [email protected] To: [email protected], [email protected]

Subject: RE: Patrol Routes v3

I agree with Nightwing. We don’t want to get caught up in our old ways and be unable to adapt should something happen to one of us. On that note, we need to keep in mind that injury and death aren’t the only factors that could call us away from our regular beats. As such, I think it would be in our best interest to ensure everyone is trained in every route — including my territory and Nightwing’s. He’s been called away for the Neal Caffrey mission more frequently in recent months, and while I’ve been able to cover for him, it’s left the Narrows and Crime Alley wide open and undefended.

Folks in my territory won’t take kindly to one of you patrolling in my place if I can’t; they might assume you hurt me or put me out of commission or something equally nefarious. I think it best to ease them into the idea that any of the bats could run any of the routes and be trusted the same.

Subject: Finalized Routes and Trainings

Afternoon,

Following the discussions I have had with each of you, Red Hood, Nightwing, and I have finalized the new patrol routes (version 3.13) and team training schedule (version 1.5). The new patrol routes take changing team size and dynamics into account, and is significantly different from any previous version in that multiple (colour coded) routes are designed to be run simultaneously.

The team training has been finalized, with the goal of being able to run patrol routes in any combination of two or three individuals by the end of the next six months. Keep in mind that given Nightwing’s JLA mission as well as Robin and Hood’s commitments to their various teams outside of Gotham, we may need to extend that timeline.

Finally, Red Hood and Nightwing have expressed the need to ensure that all of us are trained to run the routes in their territories with the full support of their protected populations. Ergo, there will also be nights dedicated to shadowing them in their patrols.

Familiarize yourselves with the attached documents and feel free to come to Nightwing, Red Hood, or myself with any questions you may have.

Infiltrating the FBI is very difficult, as they prioritize human knowledge (e.g., before an agent is hired, their academy profs are consulted on their character/work ethic). I agree, however, that an agent inside is the best option.

Ideas?

Batman

From: [email protected] To: [email protected]

Subject: RE: RE: ALERT: LOA Activity Detected

I do, actually. If we inserted someone as a Criminal Informant, say someone who is already on the FBI’s radar, we would not need to send an agent through the FBI academy.

However, the agent would need to spend a similar amount of time in prison, as FBI policy is not to create a CI working arrangement with a newly arrested criminal so as to not make it easy for convicts to escape back into society.

Subject: Proposed Mission Alteration: WW-N-00657

Nightwing,

Oracle has flagged alarming LOA activity within the FBI, and has recommended to me that we insert one of our own as an undercover agent within the organization. We would like insert Neal Caffrey as a Criminal Informant within the White Collar division of the New York branch. Neal Caffrey’s CI handler would be Agent Peter Burke, the man who is currently investigating him, who I believe you have developed something of a rapport with. Nightwing’s UC handler would be me.

As you know, mission parameters can only be altered upon full agreement by both parties (handler and field agent) on the final Mission Parameter Alteration form (form JLA-UC 1416). Since in this instance both handler and field agent are on the same JLA-affiliated team, an independent JLA member will have to sign off. For the Neal Caffrey mission, that is Wonder Woman (Cc’d).

ATTN: You would need to spend some years in prison (estimated count 3-4) as it is FBI policy to wait for minimum half of the sentence to pass before signing a CI contract with a convicted felon to reduce recidivism.

Take some time to review the proposal and note any changes you would like to be made or concerns you have.

Couple things I’m flagging now for discussion that I couldn’t find a place to note in the doc:

We will need a cover story for RG-W’s unavailability
I’m not giving up contact with Wally (my PARTNER of nigh on ten years now), so let’s give Caffrey a boyfriend who’ll visit him in prison
Along that thought, plan more family trips to New York in the coming years because I’m also not going to spend, what, eight years? The better part of a decade? Without seeing any of you.
We’ll need a review of protocols before I go dark and implement temporary alternatives that do not include me. I’m thinking specific attention should be paid to Delta and all sub-protocols, Tau especially. Don’t want this to be the thing that breaks our last line of defense.

Subject: ATTN! Alteration to JLA Mission WW-N-00657

All,

Nightwing’s part-time undercover mission for the JLA is about to become full-time. Several months ago, Oracle flagged deeply concerning behaviour indicating that the LOA is attempting, with a statistically significant degree of success, to plant agents within the FBI. Upon review of the evidence (found here: BS:\PROFILES\ORGANIZATION\GLOBAL\LEAGUE-OF-ASSASSINS\FBI-Activities) we have decided to plant an agent of our own within the Bureau. Nightwing has graciously agreed to be that agent, under the alias Neal Caffrey, white collar criminal turned Criminal Informant to the New York FBI White Collar team.

In brief, the mission will take place in two parts: the first being Neal Caffrey’s arrest, trial, and imprisonment, and the second being Neal Caffrey’s tenure as CI. Each half is estimated to take approximately four years for a total of eight. As such, we have undertaken an extensive review of all codes, protocols, investigations, and missions which involve Nightwing and altered them as needed for the duration of his time away. In Nightwing’s absence, Bludhaven has been added to the regular patrol schedule. Please familiarize yourselves with them, attached below.

Nightwing will only be available for A-class events, and be returned to New York immediately following debrief.

Communication will be vastly reduced. Flash will take the alias Kane Moreau (profile linked below), and visit Neal Caffrey every week of his imprisonment, and continue to keep in contact after his release into the custody of Agent Burke (profile linked below). While in prison, we will arrange for Nightwing to have access to his BatServer email at least once every six months with a goal of closer to once every three or four months.

During the second half of the mission, we will find opportunities, individually or as a family, to be in New York and visit Nightwing. He will have an Oracle-issued and -approved phone and laptop hidden in his residence, but will be radio silent a majority of the time.

Neither Kane Moreau nor Neal Caffrey have ever had reason to A) be investigated by the bats or JLA, or B) meet any Waynes. We do not know them, and if you cross paths, continue as strangers.

Robin, before you call us on this: there are no records of Neal Caffrey prior to his 18th birthday to allow for flexibility should it become necessary to link Neal Caffrey to RG-W, Nightwing, or other aliases/events due to unforseen circumstances.

Hey B,

Just so you know, your remaining children are flooding Nightwing’s inbox with meaningless drivel. It’s a good prank, don’t stop them. Just letting you know so you can figure out a way to flag the actual important emails from you. Or, you know. Join in.

[The video is taken in portrait mode on a cellphone held in a steady hand. Bruce Wayne, dressed in pressed slacks, a crisp white button-down rolled to his elbows, and black oxfords, lies on a thick rug. He is starfished, arms and legs spread as if he were making a snow angel. One foot is stuck under a leather couch.

He holds his phone above his head, but his eyes are glazed over, not seeing the screen. He puts his arm down. You can see that he’s reading emails on the BatServer. He blinks. He raises his phone above his head. Taps the screen. Puts his hand down. The screen is now open to [child.jpg].

Subject: Event Reclassification Request

Hello,

Since I did not hear about my newest little brother for two months on our beloved Gregorian calendar — and then only from an email — I am submitting my request to change event W-34 (New BatChild Acquisition - Legal) and W-35 (New BatChild Acquisition - Emotional) from E-class to A-class so that I may be informed of such changes.

Subject: Event Reclassification Request

Nightwing,

Unfortunately, I will have to deny your request. A formal reclassification may inadvertently trigger or effect other contingencies and protocols regarding A-class events. I can, however, include a point in the New Child Protocol that all members of the family are to be informed of any additions, legal or emotional.

Good evening all,

That special time of the year has arrived yet again. Please memorize the attached documents by the new year as they will be enacted on the first of January, 2014. I have attempted to pair everyone up according to observed dynamics, however if there is a sibling you would like to spend more time with please do not hesitate to ask for alterations.

Also, reminder to give your present wish-list to myself or Agent A by EOP on the fifth. If you do not, I will guess. And I will not contain myself. Remember that I have more money to burn than dignity to protect.

All,

The current patrol routes and schedule will not need to be changed as Signal has elected to continue in the daytime shift. However, there is now an on-call schedule so that there is backup available to him at all times. Please be sure to familiarize yourselves with the below and be available during your timeslot.

I have attempted to create this schedule in deference to your own schedules. If there is a conflict inform me ASAP.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask anyone either in person or via email to your comfort level, we’re all quite flexible.

Please familiarize yourself with the attached. I believe RR had flash cards at some point, but he lent them to Spoiler and she may have set them on fire. The temporary codes and protocols are in effect only until Nightwing has returned to us, so I would focus your efforts on the others. Updated codes and protocols will be in effect upon his return.

Subject: FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION: DELTA TAU

Batman,

I have reviewed the files I was able to hack out of the joint GCPD/FBI task-force. They are far enough in their investigation to invalidate/make impossible contingency plans Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, along with their sub-protocols. They already suspect abuse on behalf of BW, which pushes us past Delta protocols Alpha through Sigma.

I estimate we have six months to prepare. See attached.

Nightwing,

I want you to have the most supports available to you at this time. Upon review of your most recent mission (WW-N-00657) in this new context, I believe you can inform the New York White Collar team of your legal identity (RG-W). However, it remains imperative that your nighttime name and affiliation with the JLA remains secret.

I love you,

Immediate isolation and confinement to the manor as soon as your CI deal ended. Unable to contact them until now save for a phone call falsely traced to Japan when BW regained confidence in his hold on you. You can’t stay long to avoid being caught (& fearing ensuing punishment) and you’re worried about directing BW anger away from your siblings.

Free reign on details so long as they conform to the story outlined above.

I love you,

Subject: Picture Day

Hello all,

Please report to the Batcave at 1700 for comprehensive imaging. We need pictures of every scar visible beyond the swimsuit line on all of you for our prep files, currently under construction. I recognize this will be uncomfortable and invasive.

Photos will be taken by either Red Robin, myself, or Oracle, depending on your choice, in a private area of the cave. You can choose to be alone with the photographer or bring an additional person of your choice (who is receiving this email).

No patrol tonight.

Subject: A Friendly Warning

Evening.

Something big is coming down the pipes that will have the bats quite busy for months to years. Know that this takes priority for all of us, so if you try something we will not play along. We will come down on you like the wrath of God because we will not have the time nor the energy to care about harm reduction.

You will know what this is, and you will know when it is over. If you are able to restrain yourselves, I can promise you one favour from myself and one favour from the Red Hood each. If an event occurs and you help us shut it down quickly you will receive one favour from Nightwing per validated intervention.

(Favours are non-transferable, and cannot be redeemed for cash in any amount. Favours from Oracle cannot be redeemed for assassinations. Nightwing is willing to negotiate on that point.)

Thank you for your patience and cooperation,

Oracle

Subject: EMERGENCY

GCPD and FBI aren’t letting Agent A keep custody of RR, Spoiler, BB, Signal, or R because they think he might have been at least complicit in the abuse and they don’t want the kids to stay in the place they were “abused” in. They’ve been temporarily placed in a group home. We’re adults and legal family, so we have priority if we want custody.

Problem: our living spaces has to be inspected and deemed acceptable

Cambites and Ford are fighting against cameras in the courtroom/live streaming of the trial.

Evening ladies,
I have a prank in mind that will require simultaneously: someone hacking the zeta technology, another person hacking the JL’s Watchtower, and my physical presence aboard the Watchtower. This is likely to cause mild to moderate distress and vicious infighting which will both be immensely satisfying to watch.
You in?
