Following the rise of Proxies, most operators lacked the network infrastructure to conduct long range remote operations with their robotic avatars. As a solution, hackers began constructing their own networks of relays, utilizing decommissioned orbital satellite systems and abandoned radio towers. For a while, their activities remained discreet and unnoticed.

Soon, however, instances of ‘satellite jockeying’ were reported on active government and corporate satellite arrays. Attempts were made to restrict the networks, while authorities went to work tracking down and penalizing anyone caught in the act, disrupting proxy operations worldwide.

At the same time, local and federal governments around the world began heavily regulating the burgeoning proxy and remote presence movements. These included mandating licenses, permits, taxes, and a myriad of other bureaucratic red tape.

These tensions slowly built into a tinderbox within the proxy community, and many were more than willing to set it off. This culminated into what became known as ‘The Orbit Wars’, an extended period of social unrest and cyberwarfare between pro-proxy groups, corporate lobbyists, and numerous government agencies around the world. This ranged from petty civil disobedience and armed standoffs to full scale targeted cyberattacks. Disabling of network infrastructure and jamming were common on both sides. Many high-profile hackers made their mark in these years, most notably the infamous ‘Fabled Three’.

Eventually, tensions simmered as organizations attempted to appease and accommodate proxy operations. Bandwidth was partitioned to private networks, while private aerospace corporations stepped in to feed the market gap by establishing their own dedicated ‘for-lease’ satellite grids. Meanwhile, regulations on proxy operations were rolled back, though not by much.

Many veteran proxy operators still feel the heat of those days, and the distrust and ire toward authority never fully went away. Wary of government or corporate outlets, many prefer to stick with the ‘old fashioned’ means of decentralized homemade meshnets and third-party software.

Seven seas, four billion IPs!

Platoons full of soldiers identical to me!

I can chop at the root, like the base of life's tree

Try to drop but they shoot fire shots at high speed!

Some like it hot, others screaming “WHY ME?!”

Tie the knot, you're engaged to this future like me!

Its more than foreign war, we're assured to die free

Hordin' for another tour, not the kind you sight-see!

 

Type keys; clear the channel history!

I SPEAK; condition anonymity!

Wide screens; projecting all the imagery

Behind these high beams to display the setting visibly!

 

Cold in this winter see the steam from when I breathe

Agents of these ministries lock us in this freeze!

The fight rages on while the victims mourn and grieve

The internet's the battlefield, believe we're under siege!

 

This is hostile!!

Never backing down!

Scorched earth policies, I'm standing my ground!

Remember and respect to the message we're bound

The path is so dangerous to find a way around

This is hostile!!

We're never backing down!

Facing scorched earth policies we're standing our ground!

Never will forget to the message we're bound

The path is too dangerous to find a way around

YOU CAN SEE WHY THIS WAS TAKING SO LONG

 

Yeah, this image is just caked in edgy inflammatory symbolism. At the same time, I'm outrageously proud of how it turned out

 

I mean, it was briefly touched upon in the previous part, so that was good enough to do a whole lore piece on it. Where else am I gonna fit it in? :/

 

Pretty much just laying out the culture and political climate of the Proxy universe.

 

If you fave, comment as well!

It generally takes me a year to go through a roll of 12 exposures, so I still pull out the 50+-year-old-manual when it's time to load and unload film from my Yashica-Mat. Photographed on a Wednesday afternoon TLR wander with Eugene. Strathcona, Vancouver. April 24, 2013.

Sweetwater Precision Weapons received a call from the SAS, asking them to create a bullpup weapon capable of taking down enemies quickly and quietly, but it needed a low penetration, as it would be used in urban environments.

 

Sweetwater gave Juice the task to design that weapon, and Juice, who was about to have a good breakfast, had an idea in mind...

 

The AUG Para was modified by Juice, giving it everything it needs in order to by silent and deadly, and capable of taking down targets at night.

The Petit train de la Rhune or (in Basque) Larrungo tren ttipia is a metre gauge rack railway in France at the western end of the Pyrenees, in the Basque Country. It links the Col de Saint-Ignace, some 10 km (6.2 mi) to the east of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, to the summit of the La Rhune mountain (Larrun). Although this summit lies on the border between France and Spain, the railway lies entirely within the French département of Pyrénées-Atlantiques.
