A lot of people guarding a place. Insane cyber warfare capabilities. Big names of people everyone knows means business openly advertised as overseeing whatever that is. Not to toot my own horn, but if nearly anyone in the IA reads a sign that says a location is under the watchful eye of Max Cerberus at all times, they don't test it.

@Intrepid

But you can’t be in all of those places at once, right?

Make sure that everyone knows that what we want protected, is protected in every way they can imagine and then some. People aren't going to try anything if they don't believe they'll get far enough for it to matter.

@Intrepid

I guess I just don’t know what that looks like.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

You get the idea. That's one way we do it.

@Intrepid

So you... make examples? Be a scary figurehead?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

Know about the concept of deterrents?

@Intrepid

Yeah! They’re like consequences.

<Snipped quote by Source>

Intelligence, interception... You name it. It's more effective to protect people from threats either before the threat is in range, or before it exists at all.

@Intrepid

How do you protect them if there’s not a threat?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

It's less about protecting people from danger as it's happening, and more about preventing the danger period.

@Intrepid

How do you do that? I thought heroes fought bad guys.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

I suppose arranging situations so that people don’t need protected is a roundabout way of just protecting them, huh? Because I mostly do that, with a bit of direct protecting.

@Intrepid

What does that mean?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

I do. I definitely do. I enjoy making a difference.

@Intrepid

It’s mostly protecting people and stuff?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

Nope! But there are “instances”, as I call them, that I manage as well. This one is fairly empty, though there are mainly patrons in their own room.

Would you like to enter another instance?

@Ignacious

Wait, you have more places like this with other people!?

When work is dangerous, it has to be worthwhile to do.

@Intrepid

Do you like it, even with the danger?
