"Okay, so now that we're all here, we should probably decide on which of our problems we should deal with first." Rip said.
"I say we blow up the Time Bastards. Preferably without blowing myself up with them this time." Snart said.
"I'm all for blowing things up." Mick said eagerly.
"While killing Druce and the Time Council is a given, I don't think all the time masters need to be wiped out like they were last time." Sara said.
"What do you mean?" Ray asked.
"Remember Captain Eve Baxter?" Sara asked.
"Yeah, she threw the Englishmen, the Professor and I in her jail and caused me to betray the team for the first time." Mick said.
"Please, we all know you were going to do it anyways Mick. It was just who you were back then." Sara said.
"But in the end Captain Baxter proved to be a good person who actually helped us in our pursuit of Savage." Rip said.
"Exactly, a majority of the Time Masters aren't evil, they were just duped and misled by the Time Council." Sara said.
"What are you thinking Sara?" Ava asked.
"I think that while we should definitely focus on disabling the Oculus, we shouldn't blow it or the Vanishing Point up, we just need to expose Druce and the Time Council as the bastards they are. Then, once they're overthrown, we shut down the oculus and then a new council can begin to reform the Time Masters back to their true purpose." Sara said.
"Blowing them all up would be easier." Mick said.
"Yes, but it would save us the trouble of dealing with the bureaucracy that came with the Time Bureau, especially since it was shut down after the whole Neron situation." Ava said.
"And it would give us an actual place to park the Waverider so we wouldn't just be living on the ship all the time, since I think we all get kind of stir crazy if we stay here for too long." Sara said and they all nodded in agreement.
"Quick question, don't you think the Time Masters would be anticipating this, since they're likely still controlling our actions?" Ray asked.
"I have a feeling that the Monitor did us a favor and gave us all some kind of immunity from the Oculus's control otherwise I doubt they would've allowed Rip and I to assemble the team in the first place." Sara said.
"That actually makes sense." Rip said.
"It does?" Nate asked.
"The Oculus wasn't designed to control the wills from other dimensions, other universes and we all now possess the free will from the old universe. That means." Rip said.
"There are no strings on us." Zari said and Sara nodded.
"So, what's our plan?" Snart asked.
"Ray, you lead the science team, which is basically you, Zari and Behrad and analyze the plans for the Oculus that Gideon should have in her restored database." Sara said.
"I do captain." Gideon confirmed.
"Perfect. I want you guys to see if you can find a way to shut down the oculus without blowing it up." Sara said.
"One problem Sara, how exactly are we going to get into the Vanishing Point without them detecting our bio scans? Their scanners will immediately detect that RIp is not the only one on board this ship." Ava said.
"I'm counting on it." Sara said.
"Meaning?" Rip asked.
"Gideon, have the Time Masters placed a bounty on us for disappearing from the timeline?" Sara asked.
"Yes Captain, it would appear that you, Mr. Snart, Mr. Rory, Dr. Palmer, Dr. Heywood, Mr. Constantine, Ms. Sharpe and Mr. and Ms. Tarazi all have wanted posters from the Time Masters for unknown use of Time Travel." Gideon said.
"Perfect. And we're going to use that to our advantage. Rip will take us in and make it look like we're actually his captives, transporting us to the Vanishing Point." Sara said.
"So we're basically doing a modified Wookiee Gambit." Ray said.
"Essentially. Wait, Rip, you do know what a Wookiee Gambit is right?" Sara asked, only half joking, though Rip looked offended.
"Even in my time, George Lucas's works are considered masterpieces, plus, it turns out that the whole franchise is significant enough to the timeline that the Time Masters actually emphasized their importance." Rip said.
"Seriously?" Mick asked.
"Actually, that makes sense. Ray is a clear example of that, since it was watching Star Wars that inspired him to become an inventor. That franchise has inspired lots of technology that have helped shape the world as we know it." Nate said.
"Plus, they're timeless pieces of cinematic art." Ray said.
"No ones arguing on that." Sara said, since while she wasn't quite as avid a fan as Ray was, she did agree that Star Wars was one of the best franchises in existence.
"And I think I just figured out the first downside to Post Crisis." Sara said.
"And what might that be?" Ray asked.
"We already know how the movies that haven't been released yet are going to end." Sara said.
"Are you kidding, that makes it even better. Plus, now that we're on a timeship, we don't need to wait for the movies to premiere to see them. Man, Cisco is going to be so jealous." Ray said.
"Okay, can we get back on topic." Snart asked, getting annoyed by this unnecessary distraction.
"Right sorry." Ray said, embarrassed.
"So, what do we do after we escape our captors?" Constantine asked, speaking up for the first time.
"We take their uniforms then break off into three teams. One team will head for the Oculus Wellspring to shut it down, the second will head to the comm center to hack into the Time Master's mainframe and the third will go with Rip to confront the Time Council to expose their conspiracy. And we can't just expose their corruption to the people only at the Vanishing Point, we need to make sure that it's seen by every timeship as well." Sara said.
"And once we supposedly get the time dweebs on our side?" Mick asked.
"Then Declan is all yours." Sara said and Mick grinned.
"I want Druce." Snart said.
"And you will have him. But anyways, Gideon, plot a course for the Vanishing Point, max speed." Sara said.
"I do hope this goes better than the last time I did that." Gideon said cheekily.
"Since we didn't just fight Savage's killer robot, I don't think that will be a problem." Sara said as they all took their seats on the bridge as Sara took the controls and the ship headed through the temporal zone towards the Vanishing Point.
