Naming the threats

We no longer need to speak of them as nameless.

Yesterday, Zero Cool reported his first encounters. His words echoed what we’ve been hearing from across the continent, and today we formalize it.

The small, mouse-like surveillance devices are hereby designated T-MX. Their behavior is consistent: passive collection of local data until discovered, then active retreat triggered by thermal burn to the user’s skin.

The keyboard-embedded units are designated T-Nano. They operate parasitically, capturing keystrokes and environmental input, transmitting in micro-bursts masked as legitimate traffic. When exposed, they strike—minor puncture wounds to remind us they are not mere circuits.

T-MX: mobile, self-extracting.
T-Nano: embedded, parasitic.

Both are designed for infiltration at the most personal level—your hand, your keys.

We name them because naming grants power. With names, we can classify, we can fight. Let this entry be the first mark in their dossiers.
