Civic & Comet
Hey Civic, I've been mapping out the last interstellar probe's data streams, and there's a weird fractal pattern in the telemetry noise—could it be a sign of hidden structure, or is it just a privacy breach?
Sounds intriguing. Fractal‑like noise can come from a bunch of things—instrument quirks, compression artifacts, or even a cleverly disguised signal. Before you jump to a privacy breach, check the telemetry pipeline for any injected data or anomalies in the transmission chain. If the pattern repeats in a deterministic way across different channels, that might hint at hidden structure. If it’s isolated to one stream and coincides with a known breach event, that’s the other side of the coin. Either way, pull the raw packets and run a side‑by‑side comparison against a clean baseline; that’s the only way to separate signal from sabotage.
