"Good evening, gentlemen, I'm Frozen Atlantic. A handful of you know how I operate." He waves a coffee cup in CTD's direction and continues. "I also see a lot of new faces. Rest assured that I'll be doing the required reading and getting a handle on your level of competence fairly quickly. You can also rest assured that I'm slightly more intelligent than the average bear and will be more help than hindrance in averting this crisis as soon as possible."UltimaAvalon wrote:Holy Crap...is it just me or is the 3rd post brand new?
Re-reading the SIA role, it seems SIA doesn't only choose from one of the 12 players, but from the 10 Suspected Terrorist factions as well. This means right now me and FA have 22 targets and we must choose 1 to monitor.
He rubs his eyes and tilts in UA's direction. "Right. And if all our suspected terrorist factions are equal, then our time is better spent uh... ensuring the honesty... of our co-workers at CTU, especially with an hours work behind us. But," he says,reaching for a thin black briefcase placed rather conveniently under the table, "I suspect that all our factions might NOT be equal."
There's a slam as the case hits the desk and a click as it opens. As FA speaks, he slowly peels out some relevant papers. "Al-Ikhwan, the Muslim Brotherhood. Their goal is a worldwide Islamic state, and while they ostensibly condemn violence, if you can name a Muslim extremist group, they have informal ties to the Brotherhood. Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda are of particular interest here, obviously. There are, of course, many legitimate, charitable organizations under the Brotherhood's banner as well - the trick is following this very complex web to the bad guys - if our bad guys are indeed Muslim terrorists. Al-Ikhwan might be a good place to apply pressure, as the other suspected organizations aren't as intertwined."
"You know." He takes a deep breath and sips the coffee. "Something Yosarian might want to think about. As far as the people already here. I've always been an advocate of removing people who aren't of use to the operation, and I think Korran certainly fits that bill. Xdaamno's also high on my list - I really didn't like his opening strategy of putting idiots in charge of CTU. If Erin Driscoll has taught us anything..." With a chuckle, FA waves his free hand, idly wondering - then another thought hits him, and he looks across the table more urgently.
"What's of the utmost importance here is everyone having a directed choice every hour. We can't afford to lose actions because of red tape - the Director might have to make a lot more coordination choices towards the beginning of the game with so little information available. With all that said, I'm going to pull down some server logs and get a hard copy of the discussion prior to my arrival, see what shakes out, and HOPEFULLY report my findings by the end of the hour. Any questions?"
