   Summary

   The data leak hit the net at 03:17 EST, October 23rd, 2016 — targeted, surgical. Within minutes, government servers were flooding with internal alerts. Classified communications—redacted contracts, covert project summaries, black budget files—were no longer black. Someone had carved through layers of encryptions like it was tissue paper, then uploaded the contents with flair.

   Not to the dark web. To the public. For everyone to see.

   The files were pristine. Hyperlinked. Cross-referenced. Even annotated with dry, sarcastic footnotes — “See Appendix 3A for gross misuse of taxpayer dollars” .

   SHIELD scrambled first.
