A minimalist tech bunker on the outskirts of Las Cruces, New Mexico.

  Inside, flickering LED lights trace across whiteboards, tangled servers hum quietly, and massive touchscreens dispy real-time global market shifts, bitcoin votility, and food supply indices in 6C-controlled regions.

  Priya Varma stands barefoot on a cold concrete floor, arms folded, a neural-ink stylus clipped to her colrbone. Gaby Rojas walks in, trailed by Morgan Yates and Dr. Rina Matsui.

  Gaby Rojas:

  (gesturing)

  Priya. Got a minute for some high-signal visitors?

  Priya Varma (gncing over, tone ft but eyes sharp):

  Only if they don't ask me to expin NFTs like it's 2021 again.

  Morgan Yates (smiling coolly):

  Promise. I’m more interested in how you crashed the Texas pork futures st quarter.

  Priya (half-smirk):

  Simple. 6C banned pork in their states, but I kept the market open artificially through anonymous smart contracts. The correction triggered a panic buy in Missouri. Result? Massive liquidity bckhole. Panic fed panic. Algorithm did the rest.

  Rina Matsui:

  So you’re the ghost behind the shortages? The price spikes in the Midwest?

  Priya:

  Not the ghost. The algorithm.

  (She taps a touchscreen and brings up a chart)

  6C’s economy isn’t just reguted—it’s patterned. Every scarcity is a social reprogramming device. We’re training people to feel grateful for order… even if it’s artificial.

  Morgan:

  And they don’t see the puppeteer?

  Priya:

  They see the outcome—stability, clean streets, polygamy credits, family units that obey. No one questions the script if their fridge is full.

  (pauses)

  6C weaponized predictive loyalty. Economic gamification meets theocracy. It’s not free market—it’s ritual capitalism.

  Gaby (leaning on a terminal):

  Priya built the models, I field-tested them. Combine her votility design with my policy sabotage toolkit? You can colpse a municipal budget in six weeks.

  Rina:

  You both sound like cultists with spreadsheets.

  Priya (deadpan):

  Cults with results. Name one democratic experiment since 2008 that’s outperformed 6C on inftion control, food distribution, or female employment—under their rules, of course.

  Morgan (pensively):

  So... if we align with 6C’s power base, we’re not just surviving—we’re shaping the algorithm?

  Priya:

  If you’re inside the loop? Yes.

  (She walks toward a monitor showing the Wife Femme Credits dashboard)

  Every “wife unit” in the 6C states now produces both unpaid bor and emotional capital. Quantifiable. Tradable. These aren’t women—they’re behavioral engines.

  (She smirks)

  Beautiful, if you think like a machine.

  The room falls quiet, the weight of Priya’s words settling in. Rina nods slowly, Morgan folds her arms tighter, and Gaby just watches Priya like someone witnessing an art instaltion made of knives.

  ...

  Priya Varma slides across the screen to a glowing visualization—red and green spikes tracing agricultural commodity indices. She zooms in on “Pork Futures – US Southern Corridor” and folds her arms tightly, voice clipped but electric.

  Priya Varma:

  "You want to understand the pork ban? It’s not about pigs. It’s about economic pruning."

  (She taps on a timeline marked “2023 Q3 – Initial Ban”)

  "When 6C banned pork, they removed a keystone product from their controlled states. That’s not just religious; it’s economic surgery. Pork is a middle-tier protein—cheap to produce, heavily subsidized, and embedded in rural economies."

  (swipes to next chart: “Livestock Employment Decline – 6C States”)

  "By banning pork, they deliberately colpsed swine-reted infrastructure—processing pnts, feed distributors, truck routes. Thousands of jobs lost overnight. But that chaos wasn’t random. It was dispcement engineering."

  Morgan Yates:

  (narrowing her eyes)

  So they created a vacuum… and then what?

  Priya:

  Then they filled it—with poultry cooperatives and state-sanctioned hal beef farms.

  (Taps a sector overy: “Faith-Compliant Agriculture – Employment +37%”)

  They rebuilt the economy along theological lines. Workers had to adapt or starve. And the new jobs? They’re all connected to state faith corporations, loyalty-based contracts, and behavior scoring.

  Rina Matsui:

  You’re saying the ban wasn’t just symbolic—it was supply chain warfare?

  Priya:

  Exactly.

  (leans in)

  And pork lovers? They’re now bck-market customers. Which lets 6C monitor dissent through food consumption. I built a model—'SwineTrack'. 86% accuracy predicting underground resistance cells based on bacon purchases and delivery routes.

  Morgan:

  (half-smiling)

  So the whole thing… was a test?

  Priya:

  No.

  (coldly)

  It was a prototype. For what happens when they ban processed sugar next.

  The room stills. Even Gaby, usually stoic, arches an eyebrow.

  ...

  Morgan Yates:

  “You know what still blows my mind? The infrastructure spend. I’ve seen the numbers. 6C poured billions—with a ‘b’—into surveilnce hubs, AI border gates, scent-detection drones… all to stop pork smuggling. That’s not just ideological enforcement. That’s… obsession.”

  (She leans closer to the screen Priya’s still working on.)

  “And yet, somehow, they made it profitable."

  Priya Varma doesn’t look away from the glowing data web. Her fingers twitch across the touchscreen, opening an animation beled “Pork Surveilnce CapEx ROI – Project QUDS.”

  Priya:

  “Of course they did. It’s not just about stopping bacon.”

  (cold smile)

  “It’s about creating choke points. Every checkpoint? Doubles as behavioral data collection. Every cargo scan? Pings a risk score to the Ministry of Supply Chain Piety. The tech wasn’t just built to stop pork. It’s a net for deviation."

  Gaby Rojas, perched in the corner with arms crossed, nods slowly.

  Gaby:

  “They use pork as the trigger… but the system they’ve built? It can track anything. Porn, books, contacts, even menstrual products. Anything ‘impure.’"

  Rina Matsui:

  (quietly)

  “So it’s not just about control. It’s about predictive faith enforcement. They’re coding morality into logistics.”

  Priya:

  (soft ugh)

  "And making a killing selling the tech to aligned regimes. Maysia just licensed ‘SwineTrack.’ Indonesia is trialing the hal compliance algorithm.”

  Morgan:

  (half-joking)

  "Guess pork is the new communism."

  Priya:

  “No.

  Pork… is the excuse.

  The system? That’s the real doctrine.”
