"Yes, it is a matter of shepherding the herd. Organized leadership would be the ideal, and the goal that we should aspire to." Not that Ignacio truly had any interest in this, but for the sake of Rafa he would play this game. Speaking of...

"How the leadership should look is something we should discuss with Rafa, he is key to organization a team that would appeal to the masses." The sheep. A stubborn lot that should all go to the slaughter, in his opinion. However, he kept his hostile thoughts to himself and continued to converse pleasantly.

"The answer is simple, the execution is complicated. We will have resistance from the so-called rebellion because they are only satisfied with force and immediate results."

Hannibal finishes his meal, just as Ignacio is finished with his explanation. He manages to keep down an amused smirk at Ignacio's reasoning that Rafa would truly be the best candidate. Moving behind the scenes would be something that gave Ignacio more freedom to do what he needed to do.

"I agree. I shall set up a meeting with him, as soon as I possibly can, so the three of us can discuss this together." He gently patted his mouth clean, and slipped his wine closer to him. A sip, delicate and light.

"The rebellion can be easily led - if we use the right levers to move them where it would be most useful. Rather like the Cold War -- right now mutual annihilation has stopped both sides. A compromise - agreed to and coming from an immigrant Council ... would go a very long way to helping with this rebellion issue. Use the carrot - instead of the stick."

"Yes, he is better with those particular details." Ignacio did not truly care. He had decided long ago that it would be impossible to rally in this manner, but he would not discourage Hannibal or Rafa from this tactic. Even so, he did not seem interested in those particulars.

"One thing I will bring up is that there are too many idle hands here. If we form a council we will need a way to keep the masses busy. Too many have come to punishment for petty crimes that could have been prevented had they had other ways to occupy their time."

"He seems to have an excellent grasp on the logistics, which is something we will need greatly in the days to come." Hannibal has been a surgeon and a psychiatrist for his entire career. He understands how logistics are the bread and butter of any sort of political bargaining -- in Government or in Hospital Administration.

"What would you suggest? I have seen some people start to organize community groups for certain needs. Perhaps that needs to be centralized, to leave room for more people?" Hannibal offers this up - knowing that if you want to keep the masses busy - charity work is surprisingly useful.

"In my world this was done through charitable organizations, churches, hospitals, schools. There are a great many people who want to feel as though they are accomplishing something, or at the very least I would like people to be too busy to make idiotic posts on the network."

He did not imagine it could ever be entirely free from that, but something to stem the tide at the very least.

"The 'helpless hero' complex is insufferable. It would be good to choose a community leader who is also a part of the council, someone who will 'lead the charge' for activities, so to speak. A social butterfly."
