Well what I thought what could happen was that he like I said before had been present at the meeting, and afterwards knew that he had to do something with the information, since he couldn't do it all alone, yet he isn't a team player, and more importantly he doesn't trust the X-men, but he would sent them information about the crystal anyway, and afterwards he will head to the human high council, a faction he has a little more trust in, and that's how he Lady Ace meet each other.

Angel - If we could get a thread in at Heaven, that would work for giving my char the motivation to go to Antarctica. If ya start a thread there, when you have time, I'll gladly join it. Holocaust - Good point. I suppose it's feasible they wouldn't necessarily stumble across the Savage Land. Though I'd still suggest that we shouldn't encounter it at all there, since tracking the Infernal Gallop allows for plots of its own. Apocalypse - I definately agree on needing a larger plot to focus on. Here's a suggestion: After they recover the crystal, perhaps it's the centerpiece of a Celestial device whose parts are scattered across the globe. Apocalypse would know of this, and how to do this, from Ship. The X-Men could find out by spies, or a traitor? Then they have to rush around the globe to locations where pieces of the device have been scattered, leading to repeated clashes between groups of EMF/Horsemen and X-Men, with Sentinels and Soldiers in the mix when they look for pieces of the device in human territory. Just a thought.

I like the idea, but the fact remains that if Apocalypse sends his Horsemen and his legions off looking for parts in human territories, it will be a declaration of war. Obviously the X-Men would be afraid of the High Council getting it's hands on this "celestial device" too since with such sparkling types as Victor VOn Doom and Trask so high up they'd be just as likely to cause genocide....
Still, we'd need to establish this device as EXTREMELY important if Apocalypse is going to risk war in order to get it. (Not that Apocalypse wouldn't go to war nominally, but obviously it will be harder to co-ordinate if he is trapsing half way around the globe in search of fragments.) Add to that the fact that all his top military commanders (like the Horsemen) would need to take part in the search even if he wasn't....
If Apocalypse and half his followers ARE out there, who the hell is going to be commanding his Realm? I agree it's a good plot idea (and I see your point about keeping the hunt for the Infernal Gallop as a plotline) but I think we should clarify things as much as possible.
Which brings us to the main points;
If there is a Celestial Device, what does it do? How important is it?
And finally, let's face it, a war between Apocalypse's America and the Human Eurasia was ALWAYS going to happen at some point in this RPG; are we willing to begin it so early?

Well, perhaps if we want to avoid war we could avoid setting any of the scavenger hunts in Eurasia, but still get the Sentinels in the mix by making the HHC a third party to this pursuit. Maybe they even have a piece of the device found in Europe already, meaning that eventually a stealthy theft would be in order. This could also get LadyAce and any other HHC players involved.
As for whose running things - well, I hadn't seen Apocalypse running around to get these things. Didn't he really spend most of his time sitting in New York letting minions do the work? As for the Horsemen, I'd seen one Horseman being around per battle tops, though they have ruling responsibilities too. One possibility is that Apocalypse and some other Horsemen take on EMF characters too, just so they can have a part in plots that normally wouldn't involve ruling figures. Or we can concoct some explanations - Apocalypse's throne could be on Ship during the scavenger hunt, so he has a mobile base of operations.
As for what the device would do? Considering the Celestials sculpted the planet or something, maybe it was the device used to set up the planet's weather pattern, magnetic field, etc... something essential that can alter the very nature of the planet? I'm open to idea on what it could do.
And if we need to start the War to have a major plot going, I'm up for it.
On a side note - a war between Namor and Atlantis against Apocalypse might be interesting. Perhaps his perimeter defenses in the Atlantic got on their last nerve or something. Just a thought.

This crystal for it's main idea would be able to topple the entire confrontation towards a certain team, it has enough power to destroy Apocalypse or else allow Apocalypse to gain enough power to become completely immortal, my first idea was that the crystal would be destroyed after certain battles. The idea of it actually being scattered around the globe would too work, that would allow further amounts of action to take place.
The crystal, in my idea, is extremely powerful it would change the entire power struggle, and having it this early was quick but I wanted to make this a fast paced RP so that people would stay involved rather than drifting off - the idea of having it scattered around the globe would allow the whole crystal idea to go on for longer and therefor allow the RP to (hopefully) go longer.
