I'd think the CODEC team would comprise of NPC's, in order to allow them to be "accessible" when we make our IC posts. It would be tough to contact Intel and Command when we have to wait for a reply from someone.

This. And also that way I don't have to keep funneling information about the plot to people via PM's, I can just have NPC's tell you what the situation is, who you're after, what's going on, what assets are available, etc. It keeps things better contained and more consistent from my perspective.

It also stops people having lengthy conversations with themselves playing multiple characters, and actually talking to each other.
