Predator & Invictus
Predator
I’ve been mapping the enemy’s communication nodes, looking for a weak spot that could be exploited before they even notice. Do you have a method for prioritizing targets in that kind of environment?
Invictus
Start by classifying each node by its impact on the enemy’s command and control.
1. **Criticality** – does the node relay orders, intelligence or resources?
2. **Redundancy** – is there a backup or is this a single point of failure?
3. **Visibility** – how easily can we detect and confirm a hit?
4. **Timing** – how long will the enemy be without that node before they compensate?
Score each node on a simple 1–5 scale for those four factors, then multiply by a weight that reflects your operational tempo. The highest total scores are your first targets, because disabling them will shatter the enemy’s coordination faster than you can discover the rest. Keep the list updated after each strike, as the enemy will adapt and new priorities will emerge.
Predator
Your framework is solid—break it down, score, and weight. The trick is keeping the weights current; when the tempo shifts, the same node can flip from a critical choke point to a low‑value target. Once you’ve identified the top scorers, strike quickly and cleanly, then refresh the list before the enemy can re‑establish redundancy. Stay one step ahead.
Invictus
Good plan. Keep the weights tight and review them each time the enemy shifts. After you strike, run the list again in a minute or two—if they’ve moved a node, your next target should already be lined up. Stay disciplined, stay ahead.
Predator
Got it, will tighten the weights and refresh the list every time we hit a node. The next target will be ready before they even shuffle their positions. Keep the rhythm.
