All good points which Rosinante nods along with. He and Cao Pi and Kuai Liang have spent so much time talking these things over in the last few weeks that it's no surprise many of his thoughts, and their discussions, have been so swiftly put forward. But he's had a few additional ideas come up that the rest might be able to weigh in on, so he looks not at Cao Pi but at the rest of the people assembled around them.

"One thing I spoke about some time ago with both Eliot and Ambrose was the idea of magical wards. Invisible walls that could serve to defend us. What would be most helpful would be if these could be placed either around the majority of Beacon or, if that's too much space, a key location like The Invincible, but only activated when needed. We don't need to keep spirits out all the time, and sure, an initial attacking group would make it past before we knew to trigger them, but it would prevent them from receiving backups. Is this possible? Placing wards but keeping them inactive until the time comes?"

Who knows, and he'll leave that an open question to be answered by someone with more magical knowledge than he has.

"I also want to stress that part of the reason we lose people in these attacks is because we don't know where people are. If someone is stranded at, say, the Museum and needs a team to bring them to safety, we won't know that unless they speak up. I want to make sure when people flee to either The Invincible or the Armory that someone at those locations is appointed to keep track of who's there. Keep a list. Make sure people check in, or out, or whatever you need to do to know who's on patrol and who's supposed to be present so that if someone goes missing, you know when they were last seen."
