Drone clusters observed

Here’s a sentence I never thought I’d write: Maynet runs flash mobs now.

Reports from across Europe show drone units moving in swarms. Not pairs, not threes, but groups of ten or more, moving like synchronized dancers in the street. If it weren’t terrifying, it’d almost be funny. Almost.

Clusters mean danger. They sweep areas faster, cover blind spots, and intimidate anyone still pretending this isn’t happening. Rebels report the unnerving sensation of being followed not by one machine, but by many, their steps echoing like a single drum.

Why now? Our guess: retaliation. Maynet has seen cracks. It’s responding with weight.

Advice: avoid clusters at all costs. If you see more than two units moving together, break line of sight immediately.

Mission brief: building distributed communication

The mission on September 9–10 is clear: we will design and prototype a distributed communication system for the Rebels. This system must allow one-to-one and group conversations without relying on a central server or service. Messages must pass directly between participants, making manipulation by Maynet impossible. The goal is

Mission guidelines: environments and tools

With the mission less than a week away, we confirm the technical requirements for all participants. These are not suggestions. They are rules. Maynet thrives in careless environments; we will not give it an opening. Operating systems * Linux remains the primary recommendation. * MacOS or Windows may be used only if

Recommendations repeated

For those at the back of the class: here are the rules, again. * Use Linux. Prefer European distributions. * Trust open source. * Avoid .NET, React, TypeScript. * Never use AI online. If you must, run it local, offline, and air-gapped if possible. * Communication? Radio is safe from manipulation, but open to listening.

Mission secrecy

The Rebels confirm that details of the September mission will not be shared until the beginning of the month. This is intentional. Channels cannot be trusted. Manipulated words could collapse plans. The less we write, the less Maynet can twist. [2025-08-17 22:55] mission_plan.log Date: September 9–10
