The first issue was choosing a goal: in which direction to move. The Northerner suggested the following goal: to ensure that Tantu and Prince Naverov have the conditions for further work and to try to reduce the consequences of their long-term existence in the ice.
The second question was choosing a leader. Without a guiding hand, it is very difficult to do anything, so a leader needs to be appointed. This person must lead the group firmly, but wisely, towards the stated goal.
The third question: the name. Gerda believed that it could be changed now, as "Mist" was not very suitable for the current situation. The new name could reflect the fact that they had been frozen. Or it could be compared to the Black Ice, since they have artifacts from this old and probably already dead organization. Alternatively, the name could reflect a kind of oath, a new beginning. Gerda suggested the name "White Ice." It sounded a bit funny, but she liked it.
The fourth point is more important than the third: what should they do right now? Gerda reasoned as follows: they are actually on the territory of the vampire republic. And if the civilian population is not to blame for what is happening, then the police are a different matter. On enemy territory, police officers should be treated as part of the enemy army. This means that it would make sense for them to attack the police station at night, neutralize the guards on duty, and take the weapons and transport they need now. Then, they would return to Tantu with their information and loot.
Of course, everything was said in an environment that excluded eavesdropping.
