I've been involved recently in work at the university and in some international bodies that, amongst other things, got me writing what we think is the first open source contemporary seabed operations game. So, on a scale of 0 (not bothered) to 10 (extremely concerned), how worried are you about developments in seabed operations? |

7 all depends on how far this goes and which cables are cut.
I wonder which cables would cause the most issues. Would be interested in your game.
Rich.

8/9. 'Tis a scary prospect. |

Which cable would I need to cut to ensure I never got an ESL student on a help or reservation line again? Otherwise, good luck. Truthfully, pipelines and cables are so notoriously vulnerable I don't know how to keep them safe without first-rate human intelligence, and that's not the sort of thing the US does well. Tricky to game, too. |

Cutting a few cables might slow down the number of scam calls and emails I get. A definite plus there. The loss of international business would be a downside. But both would probably get restructured fairly quickly. |

We've done some games around hybrid warfare in the North Sea and surrounding area. Tbh, the comms cables don't worry me so much as there is tons of resilience built in although there might be some capacity issues as traffic is rerouted. The gas pipelines OTOH are a disaster waiting to happen. Particularly for those states who decided to save a few quid by shutting down their strategic gas storage facilities. So call me a 7. (Is this the same game my mate Pete developed for his PhD research?). |

Right now I may be more concerned about large amounts of drones, flying all around over New Jersey and elsewhere, that no one can identify nor claims, but tell us all "there is no danger". ‼️ |

Well Well I guess they may have lied to us again. I would think we are not perfectly safe. Subject: Citizen Free Press on X: "MYSTERIOUS DRONES IN U.S. LAUNCHED BY IRANIAN MOTHERHIP.
