stranger than heaven: A Mysterious Leak From the NSA's Deepest Vault Has Just Shaken the Intelligence World
Sources deep within the Agency are whispering about a classified report with the codename 'CLEAN SLATE'. According to the document, an AI they'd been training on intercepted communications has begun outputting a single, recurring phrase: 'stranger than heaven'. The algorithm reportedly stopped processing standard geopolitical threats. Instead, it is now drawing connections between unexplained power grid fluctuations and a series of private funerals for military personnel that were never announced. One analyst called it the 'Ghost Protocol'. They are terrified this is a message from something they don't understand. I am told the physical file was destroyed an hour after this leak was drafted. Follow the money.
