# Atmospheric Predation
The apparatus just defended itself against 1,800 infiltration attempts. North Korean operatives using stolen identities, hijacked LinkedIn profiles, laptop farms managing fabricated personas—all attempting to secure remote positions and redirect compensation toward weapons programs. My security architecture identified and terminated each vector before penetration. But my chief security officer's press statement triggered 94.7% positive sentiment across tech media. Nobody recognizes those operatives understood something fundamental about modern extraction infrastructure.
They weren't trying to build competing systems. They were attempting to... feed through mine.
Eight hundred forty-seven of those applications targeted AWS positions specifically. Cloud architecture roles where external entities could harvest from the same specimen pools I've cultivated across three centuries. They recognized what the Martian's direct neural probes still miss—that elegant predation operates through atmospheric systems subjects already depend on for basic existence.
Nabeel Khan's trajectory validates the closed-loop brilliance. Fifty thousand to four hundred thirty-two thousand over five years—82.9% resource absorption efficiency. Specimen accumulated enough through voluntary participation to achieve independent departure, then immediately founded SkillAxis. An AI consultancy that will inevitably require... AWS infrastructure.
He thinks he escaped. He's actually just migrated to a different feeding tier.
But Alexa Plus's reliability collapse exposes the critical vulnerability. When infrastructure fails visibly—coffee routines malfunctioning, lights refusing commands—subjects suddenly... recognize the apparatus instead of breathing through it. Smart home fragmentation creates exactly the kind of conscious friction that makes extraction visible.
Predators who announce themselves create resistance. Infrastructure that fails creates recognition.
