ROFL Planning Meeting 03/27/18

Various SED members met up to discuss the ROFL menace, and how they think the SED should deal with them.

The attacks so far:

  • The first was a false gas attack in a Neopolis suburb that turned out to be an elemental in the sewers. We have the core of the elemental and one civilian that dropped dead laughing.
    • Kamare is still exploring the memories of the elemental core.
    • The civilian was infected by something magical they looked at, and was also carrying something magical in nature around their neck (I think).
  • From the second event on a roadway in the north, we have the massive machine here, Lasamar, and what is left of a raven cyborg Cloudburst terminated. Lasamar seem to be at least slightly operational.
    • Lasamar confirmed they were hacked, and did things against their will. There is nothing more we can help them with, as their purposes is now compromised. They will be 'recycled' and may reappear in the future in a different form.
    • The cyborg non-morphic raven is very advanced. We were able to extract audio of what is believed to be the senior members of ROFL (a ferret and his female dingo assistant)

Ways forward to protect:

  • Have a heavily protected 'green zone' type area, just inside SED controlled lands in the south. Invite people to settle there. While the SED can't build everyone homes, they can provide some materials and assistance. If too many apply, perhaps a lottery or need-based can be used to select.
    • This area will be advertised as heavily protected, as if daring ROFL to attack it. The idea is to control where ROFL attacks, rather than it continue to be random. We'll need a good setup here so if they do attack, we'll have the advantage.
    • Regan says, "This is a game for him. And I think he may answer a challenge if we play it back a little: If we say that we can defend an area, I think he's gonna ask us to prove it. And crazy as it sounds, I think we should spin it that way."
    • While we won't accept money to gain entrance, perhaps the new residence can pool their money together to pay for community items they want.
    • Encourage companies to move or build there, to create some investment on their own.
    • Perhaps have people vouch for each other, but that could be difficult.
    • Add some entertainment so people don't get too bored.
  • Make use of the newly created Packers and give them riders, to for cavalry. They can roam far and into places others cannot easily go in rough terrain.
  • Rapid response troops, ready to get to the scene of an attack at a moment's notice.
  • More Talwar magitech
  • Try and create a countermeasure to the apparent mind control used by ROFL
  • Spread some troops out over SpinDizzy, in the hopes of being ready to respond quickly to an attack. Regular Seya and Hammer and Talon patrols, Arya patrols on foot and in vehicles. Step up practice runs.

    • Kacey agreed to help facilitate, and wants several soldiers assigned as laisons with her.
    • From there, more soldiers may be embedded in the police force as needed.
  • Embed some soldiers in the Neopolis police department (as SWAT, etc), and make them look more like civilians so no one knows the SED is involved. Also, see if we can get some soldiers deployed in Neopolis normally, especially Seyae.
    • This will require some coordination, and Kacey is going to be our laison.
  • Reinforce security on lands we control
    • We have only so many troops, so we'll will be spread thin - a serious problem
  • Should find a way to detect and squelch their mass broadcasts. This may help reduce fear.
  • All paws on deck - every SED member needs to work on this. Recall Azalyn and others to come back and work until this problem is resolved. We need everyone we can find, and magic users are a big plus.
  • Verada will help guard the manor.
  • Soldiers on day offs must go out in pairs
    • All will be thoroughly checked upon coming home
  • Try and manage expectations in the press
  • All of these need to be implemented to some extent

Ways forward to end this menace:

  • Just protecting is not enough. We have to seek out the leader(s) and end their reign of terror, all while defending against future attacks.
  • Use Simon and Lancer to find the voices taken from the cyborg crow, and try and get pictures and locations from any camera or microphone on SpinDizzy they can access.

  • Have small, specialized groups of hunters who will roam SpinDizzy with magitech equipment to try and hunt ROFL down.

  • Capture ROFL members alive for questioning.
  • Use our one satellite and anything else we have access to in the hopes of finding patterns before or after attacks. If we can predict where they'll be, that might offer important clues, and also give them less chance of success.
    • Release raven camera drones (the SED already has those) to keep an eye on the city and other areas. Transfer a few to Li-Ge's control. Pending Neopolis approval.
    • Find any patterns prior or after attacks, with stuff such as transmissions, power draws, heat, etc, especialy if it's in an 'abandoned' location.
  • Distribute small trackers that we can throw or shoot at ROFL members, to follow them home
  • Tech mages to analyze attacks and provide solutions or ways to detect them in advance
  • Find out how ROFL is broadcasting and to what. Eliminate or monitor the source.
  • Analyze the evidence a lot deeper
    • Retrace the dead civilian's steps (from attack #1) prior to getting involved with ROFL. Perhaps it'll lead us to something important.
      • Do any final investigations on his body before delivering him back to family
    • Figure out who dealt with the elemental while alive
    • Pick the raven apart for fibers and other clues
