Hmm... That does make it a bit more problematic... I'll consult Mana for that, actually. She has very good ideas. Percy too. He might have a more secret way about going about these things... [Tsukikage ponders if he can somehow upgrade his blood magic to detect alignments. He can already do it for a vast amount of statistics. Why couldn't he do it for determining if someone was a Fourth or a Fog? That would be incredibly useful.]
The Fog offers power and security, and people join because they feel freedom through the expression of monster forms. Elias' main gimmick is to offer friendship and a way to fight the Fog, and people join to make themselves feel not so helpless. In all honesty, the best we can offer is collaborative support, because while we cannot provide the power that the Fog provides, we certainly could protect those who need it a lot better. And Elias'... while his last few attempts have been... of questionable success, his followers don't really fight the Fog God like he promises. They just help Elias get power.
Training, for one. Open knowledge sources, perhaps a subset of the network to help people stay informed. Ways to monitor feeding and minimise it. We don't even have to lie, Rin. We just have to attack the enemy's weakest points.
