I've been here a little while and I've read back a lot of the stuff on the network.

Some of you are smart enough that you'll figure out who I am immediately but, I have to ask — really? Really??

You get on this network and you talk about your old lives like no one you know from back where you came from is going to show up and ruin everything for you.

And you talk like you don’t expect these Jorgmund people to hold some of that stuff over your head, either.

I’m sorry, but I’m a lot more private than that. You know? I’m smarter than that. I’m not willing to ruin everything by talking too much.

PS – Anyone who guesses who I am gets one of those shitty beers from the cafeteria dumped over their head. Mind your business.

You act as if we aren't judicious about about the things we're capable of, or that what we're capable of won't become immediately obvious during rig-based conflicts.

Or that we aren't already public figures to others back home, incapable of hiding from our enemies.

You're not the only one that's looked on the face of pure evil. And you're truly privileged if you're capable of hiding anything from them back in your world.

For the first point: true, I didn't think about that part.

For the second: I'm sorry if that's the case for you. That's truly terrible.

What we would've told you had you not made your assumptions is that the hacker responsible for the encryption mechanism can hide our communications but not the volume of bandwidth and data being used. Frivolous public posts drive network traffic that masks the data usage of our private communications. We can also use them to control the narrative and only release information that will cause Jorgmund to gather incomplete intelligence on us.

Sometimes this entails layering in some of the truth, to make any lies more convincing.

And you have my sympathy as well. Facing enemies whose nature encompasses evil on such a grand scale is harrowing, to say the least. Especially since the existential implications are often profoundly alarming.

Thank you for explaining that to me. And yes, it's hard. I wish I'd never had to face that, sometimes.

So do we all, those of us who wind up carrying those burdens.

You're at least not alone in this.

You're not alone in this situation either, though our enemy is somewhat more mundane.

A corporation might aspire to be true evil but there's too much bureaucracy to achieve it.
