Part 6: Warning Labels For The End Of The World

a story by @rox-and-prose and @cipheramnesia

Parts 1 to 5 are available to read on Ao3!

Deep under miles of blistered, freezing atmosphere strewn with purple gray slurry, the most illegal werewolf in the entire earth civilation rested her muzzle in the crook of her elbow, relaxing in the controled climate of the second most illegal space system ship in most of earth civilization. The uneven floor switches, pyramidal dials, and assorted sensors jabbed Laika through her fur and she mostly ignored them.

She sighed, blowing her fur across her arm. Sy was out in the bay, helping Peng and his extensions run fiberoptics and ductile metals throughout the major damage Genghis Khan had sustained. The major injuries it had sustained, she reminded herself. Damage was something that happened to objects, shells as GK called them. Injuries happened to the living.

"Hey GK," she said, muffled by speaking into her elbow.

"Hello Laika. Would you like me to list productive activities which you could undertake in lieu of your present occupation?"

"Uh. Nah. Just, how are you?"

"My condition has largely remained unchanged since you initially stumbled your way into my airlock. I continue to find the activities of Peng uncomfortable, but not so much that I am unavle to tolerate them. My assessment is that he is performing adequately. I am what you so often would call 'fine.'"

"But does it still, y'know, hurt?"

"There is no impediment caused by the injury, and I am presently fully capable of optimal performance, or as much of it as is feasible with the lackluster availability of fuel."

She looked generally up, because she always imagined GK as 'up' when she was on the bridge. "That sounds like it still hurts."

"In a sense, that may be correct. However, it is negligible to support of Pilot functions."

"So like, what can Pilot do to support your function?"

"Laika, you understand my function, and we have discussed in some great detail that implementation will not be undertaken within earth civilization."

"I meant, how can I help you get better. To heal."

"The present level of assistance is likely the maximum amount which may be accomplished within your civilization. You can, as you say, 'help me get better' most expediently by understanding that I cannot get better. The work of Peng and Sy may help with more efficient utilization of my capabilities. My injuries, however, cannot be corrected. In my creation, such trivialities were and remain unimportant. The injuries will not reduce my capabilities, but they will never heal, as you imagine the concept."

Laika rubbed a hand over the scar on her thigh. "That sounds awful GK."

"It is no worse than the way your flesh grows back together imperfectly, a parody of your true form. I will never seek to recreate what the Pilot created. It is folly and pride to try."

"Hmm," she muttered. "I was thinking about that implementation stuff. Like, I should learn more, more about what you do."

"It will bring me great satisfaction to educate you further on this aspect of my function, and to help you better understand the function of Pilot. However, the presence of the human doctor is needed. I have gained contact with the fae court of the electromagnetic spectrum, and we will require a translator."

"Do you think they'll take Yelena? Can they?"

"If the electromagnetic fae cannot take her, her body will cease its ability to function within approximately three weeks. There is no cause for alarm."

"Huh," she got to her feet and pulled on her envirosuit. "You're sure they'll have her?"

"I am unsure of this, but I am certain that her current condition will come to a swift end regardless."

"I'll go get Sloane then."

“In moments of clarity”

This is several years after my last post, warnings for violence and descriptions of graphic scenes.

The droning hum of fluorescent lights soothed Carmela as she slipped into the comfort of her familiar lab, leaving her worries in the employee locker room with her beat up tennis shoes. Despite her obvious relief to be back to work, it was known well that she was tormented by the loss she had endured, though her colleagues knew better than to bring it up and shatter her already fragile psyche.

Tracing her fingers over her clipboard she joined a group of fellow researchers in an elevator, the badge on her breast pocket and papers in hand apparently not clue enough to one of the fellow occupants that she was, in fact, a doctor just as he was. The man had a phone to his ear and forced a carrier full of hot coffee into her hands, waving off her protests as he carried on his phone call. Carmela scowled down at her hands, droplets of coffee staining her once pristine note sheet as she seethed, trying her hardest not to snap at the man. The metal doors of the elevator slid open again with a ding, and she shoved the coffee back into his hands with a look that could kill. She sighed and looked back down at her notes before carrying on towards her laboratory.

She had never been treated with quite the same respect as the other workers, perhaps it was because she didn’t attend any meetups after work, or her workaholic attitude and her insistence they break protocols for the comfort of their subjects. Or maybe.. maybe it was just because she was a woman with an aura most heinous.

Carmela slipped through the halls with her usual weary expression, eyes darting to every stimulant like a frightened animal. She was doubtlessly intelligent, her work flawlessly successful despite her lack of regard for the laboratory rules. A door slid open with a quiet whirring, the badge on her chest held up against a sensor to confirm her identity. As she entered her workspace, she was alarmed to find the room shrouded in darkness, as if no one had come through before her. This would not have been unsettling on it’s own, but she knew for certain someone should have already begun to prepare the stations for the day to come, after all she had seen her colleagues enter the elevator long before she did, there was no way she managed to slip ahead of them.

“Strange..” Carmela murmured, reaching towards the light without looking away from the darkness, the faint glow from one of the sample cases just barely illuminating a figure lingering just beyond her vision. She squinted at the odd shape, her heart rate only increasing when the light in the hall behind her flicked off.

Something was wrong.

Click click

Terribly wrong.

The more desperately she flipped the light switch the more she panicked, the situation digging its claws into her like a wild beast, leaving her with only her instincts in tact. She took a step backward into the hall, her eyes still fixed on the unmoving figure standing over her lab equipment. As she stepped back, chills thrashed across her spine, the feeling of someone pressed against her back finally bringing to light how futile any struggle really was.

A gloved hand reached around and snapped shut firmly around her mouth, suffocating her briefly and forcing her back into the pitch black lab. She stumbled forward, her assailant lifting her off the ground by the throat and snatching the security badge off her chest before they tossed the researcher aside. As Carmela was released from the vice grip, she felt her knees buckle, lungs finally swelling with air just before it was all forcefully knocked from her as she hit the floor. Her vision briefly darkened at the pain, her head throbbing terribly as she fought unconsciousness. It was there on the cold tile she was met with the milky white stare of that unmoving figure..

It was one of her colleagues.

He was strung up like a puppet, well over a hundred IV needles inserted into each of his veins and anywhere else they could fit. Held up around the throat by wires, those wide eyes were now devoid of all thought, the intelligent quips he once spat replaced by the intolerable sound of his throat gurgling.

Carmela stared slack jawed in horror, turning as quickly as her aching body would allow to try and spot their assailant, the researchers hand clammy and trembling as she grasped at the floor beneath her, searching for some sort of weapon. A hooded figure walked past her, and in a perhaps foolish attempt to stop them and demand answers, she pulled their cloak off, the strange bird like mask still hiding their true identity.

“who..” Carmela found herself gagging as pain gripped her body with a relentless and angry throbbing, warmth pooling beneath her neck. She didn’t want to know where it was from. She didn’t dare check. Her questions received no answer, and her actions barely hindered whoever it was. Carmela could hardly even make out their silhouette beyond her spotty vision. The figure seemed frustrated as they tore through the lab, clearly searching for something.

From the dangling corpse of Carmela’s late colleague, a terrible crunching and squelching could be heard, the intruder also stopped their rummaging to look at the man, who snapped his jaw reflexively towards Carmela. She gasped and began trying to push herself away, only to find that she could hardly move. Desperate for assistance, Carmela cried for help, her throat tight and aching as the words fell from her lips.

“oh please, please I can’t go through this again don’t do this.. please..” She felt a pair of hands slip beneath her arms, the intruder lifting the bleeding researcher into their arms. A deep, distorted voice crackled from beneath the strange mask, Carmela staring up at them with a dazed expression, one eyelid having trouble staying open.

“I found the data we needed. Yes. I’m taking care of it now.” Though it was warbled and unsettling.. Carmela felt a strange wave of distant recognition grip her unwaveringly. They spoke of data and orders.. seemingly into an earpiece.

“I know you….” Carmela coughed, disregarding what her assailant had said in favor of trying to remember who they were. For a moment, their head tilted down to stare at the woman in their arms, but it seemed as if they were fighting their own consciousness to do so. They didn’t respond, producing a syringe from their suit and slowly lifting it to Carmela’s neck, injecting her with some sort of sedative.

In her last moments of consciousness, Carmela lifted her shaking hand to tug the intruder’s mask off, her limp hand dropping it to the floor with an echoing clatter. They stared at each other, now face to face for the first time in years.. those blue eyes boring into Carmela, the furrowed brow.

“Jill…”

Carmela breathed, her eyes finally slipping shut after recognition dawned on her. Jill did not experience relief to be known, nor joy to recognize her dear fiancee. She felt nothing. She felt her mission, turning up her head from her cargo and making her exit with Carmela in tow.

Use a built-in cord to connect the appliance to electrical power and turn it off to avoid electric shock. If the voltage is higher than normal, the fuse will blow, causing a power outage and interrupting the power supply.

Turn off devices that were on before the outage, wait a few minutes when power is restored, and then reconnect the device to mains power. This is because the recovered energy can damage power plants because the device is higher than the resistance for which it was designed.

To protect all electrical devices, install fuse units in the electrical panel so that all devices are cut off at once.

Power lines are equipped with fuse units, so contact your power company to protect your equipment from power surges. This work should be done by the best electricians in Kuwait.

Protecting devices, especially computers, from power problems, as the devices contain backup batteries that allow electrical devices to operate for a long time in the event of a power outage.

Use a "voltage protection device". Because the device acts as an alternative to current and voltage regulators, as it relies on a processor to intelligently control the performance of the device, and to detect and connect to high-voltage devices that oppose it. Low voltage, lightning current, sparks, frequency fluctuations.

3. Biophilic Design Elements

Biophilic design, which incorporates natural elements into the workplace, is a trend that office room designers are increasingly embracing. By integrating features such as living walls, indoor plants, natural light, and water elements, designers create spaces that promote a sense of calm and well-being. This connection to nature has been shown to reduce stress, increase creativity, and improve overall productivity. Office room designers are using biophilic design to create environments that not only look beautiful but also support the mental and physical health of employees.

4. Wellness-Oriented Spaces

Office room designers are also focusing on wellness by creating spaces that support both physical and mental health. This includes designing quiet zones for relaxation, meditation rooms, and even fitness areas equipped with exercise equipment or yoga mats. By incorporating these wellness-oriented spaces, office room designers help companies foster a healthy work-life balance, which can lead to increased job satisfaction and lower employee turnover. These spaces also contribute to a more positive and productive work environment.

5. Sustainable Design Solutions

Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword; it’s a crucial aspect of modern office design. Office room designers are at the forefront of this movement, offering sustainable design solutions that reduce environmental impact and promote corporate responsibility. This includes the use of eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient lighting, and water-saving fixtures. Additionally, designers are creating office layouts that maximize natural light and ventilation, reducing the need for artificial lighting and air conditioning. By prioritizing sustainability, office room designers help companies meet their environmental goals while also creating healthier, more efficient workplaces.

6. Collaborative Workspaces

The rise of remote work and the need for greater collaboration have led office room designers to create innovative collaborative workspaces. These spaces are designed to encourage teamwork and idea-sharing, with features such as open-plan layouts, comfortable seating arrangements, and technology that facilitates communication. Office room designers are also incorporating movable partitions and flexible furniture that can be easily reconfigured to suit different types of meetings or group activities.

Update on Op:Monoxide

The following information will go up on my site soon, but I felt that it was worth having here, as several discoveries have recently been made.

The Canary Mission website is likely currently hosted on a server owned by fixweb, a French hosting provider. IP geolocation (in general) is not accurate enough to get an exact location of the server, but it is accurate enough to tell me that the server is somewhere in Paris, France, and uses Scaleway SAS as an ISP.

On and related to the fixweb network are several domains and IP addresses that are connected in some way to the Canary Mission:

1. beta.canarymission.org

The URL beta.canarymission.org resolves to an IP in the fixweb range. Furthermore, that IP redirects to the main site (using HTTP code 302) when accessed through a browser via port 80 (HTTP), but not when accessed by port 443 (HTTPS). This indicates that port 443 is likely being used to communicate with either the CloudFlare reverse HTTP proxy (possibly in California) or the web application firewall (in the NY/NJ area). It also tells me that the server is configured to refuse connections on port 443 that don’t come from certain servers (whether that’s the WAF or the Reverse proxy is still unknown).

While investigating this a few months ago, the IP didn’t redirect to the main site as far as I knew. But it still resolved to the beta domain. The redirect occurred only after a major change had been made to their site layout, indicating that the development version of the site is hosted on the machine corresponding to the IP. This is significant, because most people try to keep their code in one place, so it’s likely the production version of the site is in the fixweb network too, but is only accessible through the reverse proxy and/or the WAF.

2. media90.canarymission.org

media90.canarymission.org resolves to an IP owned by fixweb, indicating that their CDN (content delivery network) exists on their servers but is not behind the proxy. This further confirms my suspicions that the Canary Mission switched their host from Israel (likely under Kamatera’s hosting services) to France, so they could abuse the GDPR to redact the contact information of the site maintainers.

3. canary.fixweb.net

The domain canary.fixweb.net exists. Not much to say about this one, I think the conclusions write themselves.

4. thingdust.io

This isn’t directly related to the fixweb domain (as far as I’m aware), but I found three other domains through an automated OSINT search:

canarymission.cust.dev.thingdust.io

canarymission.cust.disrec.thingdust.io

canarymission.reservd.disrec.thingdust.io

Noticing a pattern in these URLs, I also attempted to access canarymission.cust.prod.thingdust.io: the host was up (I think), but it wasn’t configured to serve any resources.

Upon researching thingdust, I found that they’re a company in Switzerland that specializes in IoT-enabled workplace monitoring. This is one of those companies that makes those sensors that some people would find under their desks that track workplace occupancy. If the resources on those servers were publicly accessible, we could use the sensor network’s web view to obtain the floor plan of the building the Canary Mission team operates from.

More to come as secrets reveal themselves.
