Operation Skuld

In order to reach Steins Gate, save Mayuri Shiina and Kurisu Makise, and escape the Alpha/Beta Attractor Fields, Rintaro Okabe realized he needed three things- First, the motivation to get back on his feet in his darkest hour; Second, a plan to deceive the world; Third, a way to convey that plan to his past self.

Realization of the Plan
===Steins;Gate 0 (Milky-Way Crossing and Episode 23)===

Re-Awaken
Awakening once more to his Hououin Kyouma persona, Okabe began creating the plan to deceive time with the help of Itaru Hashida and Maho Hiyajo. Working tirelessly through the Nuclear War, the trio began the project to search for the workaround for the Alpha/Beta Attractor Field. To do this, they had to determine the key principles that governed each Attractor Field-


 * The first D-Mail sent undoes the death of Kurisu Makise, leading to her joining the Future Gadget Lab in July 2010, resulting in an Alpha World Line.
 * The death of Kurisu Makise, and the subsequent theft of her thesis and its arrival in Russia in July 2010 results in a Beta World Line.

With the core tenets of each Attractor Field discovered, they started work on a plan, realising the principles that needed to be fulfilled.


 * 1) Under no circumstances must Kurisu Makise or Mayuri Shiina come to harm
 * 2) Rintaro Okabe finds Kurisu Makise lying face down in a pool of blood
 * 3) The Time Travel Thesis must not fall into the hands of any government

Finally, Okabe must be primed to take the machine. In order to achieve Steins Gate, Okabe must create a world line based on these three principles in order to escape the doom on the Alpha and Beta Attractor Fields.

The Plan
The first step is to get Okabe on his feet and primed for one more attempt- to do so, Mayuri Shiina must be allowed to travel in C204 with Suzuha, and deliver a message to her past self; a plan that they decide to name Operation Arc-Light. In the message, she would prepare herself to get Okabe back on his feet following the first aborted attempt at achieving Steins Gate.

Next, a message must be sent to Okabe, to be received the day of the plan. This message would decode only when the correct Beta Variant world line was attained- inside would be a video containing the plan, explained by the only person who can be reliably called upon to rise to any challenge- Hououin Kyouma.

Third, Okabe must use the remaining fuel to jump once more back in time, to moments before his previous arrival, to achieve the three principles that will cause the shift to Steins Gate.
