Patterns Persist

There’s been a minor escalation today, for anyone who is still tracking these technical glitches. The dropouts aren’t just limited to that one bank of cameras near the market anymore; they are spreading to adjacent camera banks. I watched it happen on the monitors today—Bank A went dark, then thirty seconds later, Bank B followed suit. It was like a wave moving through the system. And just like before, it was brief, completely unlogged, and met with a shrug by the IT department when I called it in. If this is a coincidence, it’s a very committed and organized one. I’m starting to wonder if it’s a cyber-security thing—maybe someone is testing a way to bypass the local grid? It feels too deliberate to be a hardware failure now. I’m not saying it’s anything supernatural, but it is definitely an ‘event.’ It’s hard to sit here and watch a screen that you know is lying to you. I’ve started marking the locations on a map of the town centre, and there’s a definite path to the outages. If it keeps moving, I’ll be able to predict which camera goes next.
