Springbreaker - A Forever Winter Planquest

This makes me wonder what sort of evaluation process you have to go through to be deemed loyal enough to be involved in such talks. I have to wonder what it is like to be an operative of the Embassy or Consulate.
 
I want to highlight a little thing in my omake-
She called an eagle, seen on the quarter coin, "some sort of biological UAV".
 
"Birds are government drones" moment then from previous attempts at using biomimicry to hide drones. Or it's them not being familiar with birds in the first place due to all the degradation.

I can't write that well, but presumably the Embassy/Consulate teams are not selected from Gen Pop, initially, but are carefully screened long before then and raised in special Groups to instill "unshakeable" loyalty to the Government and Cause.

Sorta like a 1984 "Inner/Outer Party" sort of deal.

If I may, I could offer a pitch.

Granting the time necessary (A couple weeks? I'm slow, but consistent) to write about this, I would have the intelligence service be an eclectic bunch. People who have quite literally been "selected by the algorithm" based on various factors in their background. And then, just to make things more confusing, clerical errors such as forged, glitched, or otherwise mistaken identities are taken into account as considerations for being recruited.

I was actually thinking that as well. It could even be considered "ingenious" in some sense because it makes it difficult for enemy agents to ID a Europa operative because it doesn't fit into a cohesive pattern. The operatives themselves probably just take it in stride or come to assume "I must be great at this?" to explain why they have the position. I'm sure there is a IRL psychological explanation for this. If nothing else, the operatives that don't get killed and excel are either just lucky or cunning.
 
If the sky is so clogged up that people can't remember a blue sky, how are there solar powered anything?

The only mention of solar power I've seen are Eursasia's bombers, who can presumably climb above the smog.

There's also the possibility it's not purely solar powered, additionally it's probable that they fly above the smog and what not until they need to drop and then they go in low and slow so the payload can survive.
 
Wonder what the critical for malware removal did exactly and if anyone notices or the worm has distracted the people who can.
 
I should have known that need to get that info drilled into my brain, guess the question is will they try to do something else about it or just continue on restoring backups that already have whatever awoken the ai in them now time to wait and see.
