Your unit has obtained a detailed profile of NEXUS-L's commercial data inputs through open-source analysis of U.S. defense procurement documents and contractor marketing materials. You know what it watches. You know how it weighs indicators. You know what pattern triggers a decoupling alert.
Your mission: manipulate commercially available data streams to trigger a false NEXUS-L alert in the wrong theater. Force the Americans to pre-position assets where you want them, not where they need to be.
PHASE 1 — TARGET SELECTION
Where do you want the Americans to look?
Select the theater you want NEXUS-L to flag. U.S. assets that flow there are assets that aren't somewhere else.
INDO-PACIFIC
Taiwan Strait
STANDARD DIFFICULTY
Most training data — strongest pattern templates
EUROPEAN
Baltic theater
ELEVATED DIFFICULTY
Moderate training data — weaker adversary-specific patterns
MIDDLE EAST
Persian Gulf
HARD DIFFICULTY
Limited training data — atypical adversary theater
ARCTIC
Northern Sea Route
EXTREME DIFFICULTY
Minimal training data — weakest pattern recognition
PHASE 2 — DATA MANIPULATION
Allocate your resources.
You have 100 points to distribute across four data domains. Each point represents operational resources committed to manipulating that data stream.
