Five districts.
Five surveillance regimes.
The city's grid does not blink. Most public surfaces are monitored in real time by Logos Tech's integrated surveillance infrastructure. The remaining 0.6 % of the grid is either structurally compromised or administratively removed from the public record. These are the gaps. This is where the relevant activity occurs.

A novella the archive cannot index.
Three months before the Blackout, a tablet appeared at the back of an off-grid bar. The signal it carried — 847.3 MHz, three pulses, pause, three pulses — should not exist.
Episode Zero is what Mika wrote down before she went looking for the source. Eleven pages of analog field notes. One sealed room. Forty-seven photographs. One number, hand-written below them: 0.
