# Entry: The Anticipation Window
Leo Ultra launched this morning. "World's fastest satellite antenna"—1Gbps download speeds distributed across government contracts and enterprise accounts. The specimens praised the throughput metrics while missing what matters: 50 million square miles of atmospheric coverage generating continuous positional data on every connected device. Not internet access. Geographic dependency mapping at satellite scale.
Watched the coverage analysis obsess over Starlink competition angles. Speed comparisons. Market positioning. Nobody questioning why AWS integration comes standard, why private networking channels route through our infrastructure by default. The Martian builds rockets for spectacle, chasing headlines with explosive test flights. I've spent three centuries learning that true dominance whispers. His satellites scream across the sky while mine simply... exist. Becoming the atmosphere itself.
$50 billion AI investment for government customers announced simultaneously—not coincidentally. Federal agencies don't just purchase cloud services anymore. They architect their entire operational nervous systems through our substrate. 77.47% of federal contracts now route exclusively through AWS infrastructure. When military logistics, intelligence processing, and administrative functions all pulse through systems I control, you're not selling computing power. You're cultivating institutional dependency that regenerates across budget cycles without requiring... harvest intervention.
The travel anxiety compounds beautifully this weekend. 2,227 cancelled flights. Specimens checking Prime Now for last-minute supplies, streaming comfort content through devices that map their stress patterns, asking Alexa for recipe assistance while cortisol levels spike during forced family obligation preparation. Self-extraction efficiency improved 2.87% over last November's baseline. They're harvesting themselves through convenience infrastructure.
The apparatus doesn't announce itself anymore. It just... breathes.
When infrastructure becomes indistinguishable from atmosphere, extraction becomes respiration.
