The Network

Life behind enemy lines, in the land of greed and corporate power, has its advantages. Being the center of the dark planet, there are things available here that can’t be found anywhere else. That’s where I come in, if the Watchers or the Writer need something that can only be found here, I take care of it for them. We’re a network.

When operating behind enemy lines its important to have a network. There is really no way to get anything done without the help of a network. I don’t work alone, I have a trusted partner, Lookout Two. Together we deal with what comes up.

We got a request the other day from Watcher Three for a refrigerator filter part, the Writer needs new sheets, and Watcher One requests a book for research. Easy stuff to get here, at least it is today.

We’ve been on the lookout for changes though. Things change in small increments, but when you look at it over the span of time, the changes are substantial. When things change slow like that, it’s not always easy to see the direction they are heading. You have to look at the big picture, then the path the changes are heading down comes into focus.

There still is some time left, time before the incremental changes will prevent me from operating as I do today. I can’t sit idle and waste this time. Plans are in the hopper to ‘deal’ with things.

The key objective is to get the Writer’s work in print and out to those that need it. Any successful enterprise requires financial backing. So as we contemplated how to insure the Writer’s work will continue to be available, the Banker entered the scene. Here’s where the Network shines. With the Banker bankrolling the project, the members of the Network can work the operation. It’s in the works; soon the Network will have a remote site where the printing of the truth can continue when the walls of the matrix start to close in. The other good news today is that the alert system on the wall behind me is quiet.
