Every signal is a risk

The new system gives us sight. But sight is a blade, and every blade cuts both ways.

If we can track our agents across Europe, then Maynet could, too. All it would take is one breach. One log packet intercepted, one relay node compromised, and suddenly our lifeline becomes a death sentence.

I don’t write this to diminish what’s been built. It’s incredible. For the first time, we aren’t blind. But the brighter the light, the darker the shadow it casts.

We must assume Maynet is already probing, searching for cracks. The system can save us. Or it can damn us.

Trust is a dangerous thing in war. And yet, without it, we cannot win.
