    Also I think the post putting the task tag in front of the [X], and people copying that, has messed up the tally, because it seems to only be recording 1 person having voted for any of the Streamer options.

    Krall is correct! Please reformat your votes or revote as following:

    Both plan and line item voting are allowed.

    [ ] [Streamers] Throw the Book at Them: The pair built a custom boat to trespass in a sensitive area and did so with the explicit intent to start a fight. They need to reflect seriously on their choices and make amends, and this means a lengthy regime of counseling, community service, and restrictions on printer access, followed by probation to make sure they don't try a repeat.
    [ ] [Streamers] Give Them a Deal: These two are barely out of their teens. This was a stupid, impulsive decision based on a personal matter, but one that's had serious consequences. With the promise they'll not do it again, you'll settle for community service, probation, and locking out the plan for their boat.

    [ ] [Streamers] Slap on the Wrist: These two are barely out of their teens. This was a stupid, impulsive decision, and you're sure they're already regretting taking personal matters this far. A stay in hospital to deal with their injuries and a probation watch and there won't be any reoffending.

    --

    [ ] [Ex-Cop]Give Him a Deal: Most of the committee members think that the ex-cop, known for physical abuse before the revolution, was the one to throw the first punch. Regardless, you can't separate the fact that a pair of kids came to his home—his prison—to insult him and went right through the security that's supposed to separate Tartarus from the rest of Radiant precisely to avoid revenge attacks (and escapes, but that's not the point tonight). Make him take some anger management courses and lower his leisure supply allotment for a few weeks and he'll get the point.

    [ ] [Ex-Cop]Slap on the Wrist: The issue of who started the fight is muddled. The Tartarus resident has a decent case, one that might have let him off in the pre-revolution courts even with an unsympathetic jury. With no available evidence to suggest the precise allocation of fault, relocating him to a new area should avoid a repeat event and cause enough inconvenience to suggest being more circumspect.

    [ ] [Ex-Cop] Let Him Go: Regardless of who threw the first punch, it's hard to fault him given the circumstances preceding the fight. It would be unfair to punish him more than, well, already being on Tartarus in the first place. What are you going to do, create a double prison on the exile islands for offenses on Tartarus?

    --

    No matter what the debates have settled on, all agree that security has to be stepped up. The fact a pair of young hobbyist streamers could actually make landfall on Tartarus in a printed boat and have a good half hour to get into a fight says embarrassing things about the quality of your security. Imagine if a Charter agent or a more organized group wanted to do the same? Hell, imagine if someone who designed boats for a hobby had designed the boat in the first place?

    Pick as many options as desired.

    [ ] [Security] More Patrols: You have to close the gaps in your patrolling screen. Additional cutters and helicopters need to be added to move towards a continuous coverage of the security zone perimeter and end the possibility of slipping through the cracks.

    [ ] [Security] Local Response Stations: There were no security personnel stationed on the island. In fact, there are only a handful of central bases for supplying the islands and the patrols. Any response to trouble in a minor or outlying island, whether brought in from outside or originating inside Tartarus, has to have personnel travel a significant distance by boat or helicopter. Placing small stations on most islands should provide much better oversight for dealing with minor issues and containing more major ones while help arrives.

    [ ] [Security] Geolocation Efforts: If anyone in the right position had known about the stream, patrols could have been vectored to catch the pair a hundred miles away from their destination. Adding an algorithm that flags streams, air and water vehicular prints, and device tags near the exclusion zone for manual review could prevent any further incidents before they set foot in the archipelago.

    [ ] [Security] Mechanical Oversight: The fact you can't simply rely on cameras or other media to give you the truth of the matter has made the committee keenly aware of the fact that Tartarus is the only place on Radiant without a robust network of recording devices, intended to avoid unreliable eyewitness testimony and a legacy of the intense media focus and presence of Radiant's founders and population. This needs remedying.

      - [X] Inform them that we have come to the conclusion that the best way to counter the charters is to break their hold over the narrative and the material necessities that people depend on to survive, via a large data packet that includes details about the ARC, charter abuses, and cracked FRM
      - [X] We have discovered a way to spread this data packet across charter space, and are planning to do so before or during the next Compact election
      - [X] Offer a one year moratorium on the decision for the Integration or continued co-existance of the OCB.
      - [X] Offer Military aid, in the form of the creation of Gate Defenses and leaving enough of our fleet to defend against an attack against Ascension by the Compact fleet.

(access to Ascension system, Ascension controlled science die that will become player controlled once further in integration. Take on Ascension's obligations to Compact.)
      [X] Negotiation: In light of the recent revelations, are they really sure that they want to veto us if we move to strike at the Charter's largest tool to keep the status quo? Even after the dagger at their back leaves with their gate building mission complete? Propose that the veto power against first strikes is only valid until the gate building fleet leaves.
      - [X] Fallback: Accept joining demands.

    • [x] CAW-CAW MOTHERFUCKERS - The house is a deathtrap, but this is your chance to capture a member of the team alive. You need information, so send in the best, send in the CROWS. It'll take almost a day to get them and all their equipment here, briefed, and set up, but there couldn't be a more suited group anywhere.
      - [X] Send in drones, too - The CROWS will appreciate having a small army of drones to spot traps and mitigate their risk. This does mean they'll be printing drones instead of any situation-specific equipment, however.
      [X] Wait them out - Sooner or later, they will have to go out for food and water, and the house is a deathtrap. You can afford to wait, and given Nautilus' predilection for nasty traps, there's no way you can count on predicting or countering everything . Keep the cordon and offer negotiation if they talk.
      -[x] Offer plea bargains or the like for those willing to turn or help break the siege, or to provide information on other co-conspirators.
      -[x] Under no circumstances allow them to negotiate you into giving them offworld passage or anything like that.
      [X] Drones - The house is a deathtrap, so better to mass fabricate drones to trip traps themselves. Many will die, and it will take time, but their mechanical sacrifice will be long remembered--, or until next lunch; it depends on if they are cute. Nautilus will run out of traps before you run out of feedstock; the only question is how long that will take.
      [X] Write in: Consult with a expert who has experience in non-violent riot control: "Okay, so like not sure why you are asking me, but like I've got an idea right. What if, what if, you like, waft some smoke in. Like good smoke, for a buzz, not tears and stuff. And like, then they won't be as angry and stuff. Then, you wait outside and promise them munchies if they come out, and then take them in. But like, given them the munchies to snack on. It isn't cool to promise munchies and then flake.
      -[X] Plus CAW-CAW MOTHERFUCKERS... with gas masks

      -[X] Maybe offer to let some of them go. Not everyone in the compound is complicit with the worst offenses, and if they were they could lead you to their co-conspirators.

      -[x] Organize a more formal evacuation of the surrounding area; establish firebreaks and other protections around the siege to prevent conflict spillover.
      -[x] Conduct a thorough search of the island to secure any potential alternate escape routes.

    • [X] A Detailed Overview: The siege at Tartarus is still under a media lockdown until it's actually over, but if you allow unlimited access to public channels the initial assault that sparked the issues on the archipelago will filter through to the H-I rep. Forestall that by giving him your own detailed briefing on Tartarus and the initial events that brought it to public attention on Radiant. [This will inform on the first 2 events in the Mega-Event.]
      [X] Lay Your Cards on the Table: Tsinge's effectiveness and background suggests he's genuine in the desire to see a speedy and uneventful prisoner exchange. If he can help quench the chaos in Tartarus and forestall further problems, it might be worth briefing him fully. Given his reputation, he might even return the favor with your own people.
      [X] A Basic Overview: It's impossible that charters haven't heard something about Tartarus, at least that it exists. Give Mr. Tsinge a rundown on how it began and the basic details before this recent series of events. [This will inform on the status of Tartarus before the Mega-Event's first event takes place.]
