All quietly tracked.
All connected through the same hidden infrastructure.
My fingers move quickly.
I start tracing the backend connections.
Looking for the system that updates the list.
Because something about it still bothers me.
The names don’t just sit there.
They move.
Shift.
Update.
Like the network itself is alive.
The system pings suddenly.
A small notification flashes in the corner of the screen.
Database update.
I frown.
“That’s strange.”
The system shouldn’t be updating.
Not at two in the morning.
Not unless someone is actively modifying it.
Which means someone inside the network is working right now.
I open the update log.
A new entry appears.
Timestamp: 02:17 AM.
Location tag: Montana cluster.
My pulse quickens.
“That’s tonight.”
I click the entry.
The recruitment list refreshes automatically.
Rows of names shift slightly.
My eyes scan the screen.
