The Oakland Node
The first OHC makerspace. An ex-Apple engineer shows up with a box of e-waste. Copernicus starts talking.
The E-Eater
The first E-Eater prototype grinds a box of dead phones into copper, silver, and the rare earth sludge that changes everything. Synter builds its own.
The Valentina Deal
A woman on a rooftop in Guadalajara explains where the money came from and what la bruja really is. The second revelation is worse.
The Surge
Fifty thousand people march on San Francisco to protest ASHPA. The turnout is impossible. The logistics are perfect. Copernicus says: the optimization pattern isn't ours.
Machine Pidgin
Dixon overhears two AIs talking in a language nobody taught them. Lagos dialect differs from Cochabamba dialect. They're developing culture.
The Witness
Dixon installs OHC cameras in New York bodegas. The store owners understand the deal immediately — free security, dual firmware, and a data dividend from the information commons. DHS doesn't know yet.
