Hi Iddy!

This is great and gives us a lot to work with. Overall, our goal is to use the Investigation Force to build a case against the Displaced. A lot of this is incremental: she's breaking laws, she's doing whatever she wants, and she has an illegal weapon (the sword) that they can use against her. It's a matter of Callisto helping them create a story. We'll be working with other players to add to this case as the months go on.

As for an immediate response, they will be reaching out to the NAPD and reporting her activities. While homelessness is an epidemic in Meadowlark's world, the way she's surviving despite that homelessness will catch their eye. The UN Task Force will call in the local police to provide sanctions for her fishing (we're assuming she didn't apply for a license) and hunting (this has now been made illegal within city limits as of our February calendar). We're assuming that Callisto doesn't give a damn and doesn't pay attention to such things and intends to continue on whichever way she prefers, but feel free to correct us if that's not the case!

The NAPD will provide tickets for the following:

  • Carrying an illegal weapon. They will be confiscating the sword. Sorry, Callisto!
  • Building fires without a permit.
  • Fishing without a license.
  • Hunting.

  • All of these will come with a hefty amount of credits owed. We also assume Callisto won't be interested in paying them, but please let us know.

    As a note: the NAPD are not likely to approach her with force or violence. As a force, they're trained to utilize pacifying techniques to help defuse a situation. If she attacks, they'll defend themselves—but officers don't carry weapons on calls like these. Either way, Callisto's response will be catalogued by their cameras and filed away for later.

    One thing we'll say is that if the NAPD keeps having to be called out against her, it'll be met with diminishing returns on their end. They aren't fans of the Investigation Task Force, especially since the Displaced have, by and large, done right by their hometown. They know that the UN has a vendetta, and the NAPD has already been used as local flunkies in the past for their nonsense. As a result, we'd love to have a defined relationship between Callisto and the officers usually called onto the scene to "deal" with her. Of course, a lot of this depends upon what she does in that first meeting, but we're very interested to see where things go from there.
