Z. Cliffe Schreuders c50fab400e Add Mission 5 Stage 0 initialization - Insider Trading
Created comprehensive initialization document with SPECIFIC ENTROPY threat details:

TARGET:
- Quantum Dynamics Corporation (quantum computing research)
- 450 employees, DoD/DARPA contracts
- Post-quantum cryptography for military applications

SPECIFIC STOLEN DATA (Project Heisenberg):
- Quantum Key Distribution military specs (847 pages, classified)
- 14 zero-day vulnerabilities in competitor products
- DoD deployment database (247 facilities, schedules, network topology)
- Cryptographic key material and test data
- Total: 4.2 TB across 18,000 files (73% exfiltrated)

CONCRETE CONSEQUENCES IF ENTROPY SUCCEEDS:
- $4.2 billion DoD quantum crypto program wasted
- 12-40 intelligence officers at risk (retroactive decryption)
- 247 military facilities vulnerable during installations
- 5-year quantum supremacy advantage to China/Russia
- US quantum computing industry reputation destroyed

THE INSIDER - David Torres:
- Senior Cryptography Engineer, PhD from Stanford
- $180K medical debt (wife Elena has Stage 3 cancer)
- Recruited 8 months ago by Insider Threat Initiative
- Paid $45K so far, promised $200K total
- Exfiltration method: Steganography in training videos → YouTube
- Believes he's helping 'journalists expose military-industrial complex'
- Morally conflicted, can be turned if shown ENTROPY's true plan

ENTROPY 4-PHASE PLAN:
1. Exfiltration (current) - 73% complete via Torres
2. Analysis (2 weeks) - Digital Vanguard weaponizes research
3. Distribution (4 weeks) - Zero Day Syndicate sells to China/Russia/Iran
4. Deployment (12 weeks) - Decrypt DoD comms, attack facilities

CROSS-CELL COORDINATION (First Business Model Mission):
- Insider Threat Initiative: Recruitment ($15K per placement)
- Digital Vanguard: Technical analysis & infrastructure
- Zero Day Syndicate: Exploit weaponization & sales
- Crypto Anarchists: Payment processing
- Expected revenue: $45-70 million USD split across cells

INVESTIGATION STRUCTURE:
- 8-10 employee NPCs to interview
- Evidence correlation puzzle (logs, access records, financials)
- Non-combat resolution (dialogue-driven confrontation)
- Bludit CMS exploitation (CVE-2019-16113) for digital evidence

MORAL COMPLEXITY:
- Turn Torres into double agent (saves wife, provides intel for M6-M10)
- Arrest Torres (justice, but wife likely dies, limited intel)
- Sympathize and release (saves family, endangers national security)
- Expose everything publicly (disrupts ENTROPY but destroys company)

CAMPAIGN IMPACT:
- If turned: Torres provides intelligence through M10 finale
- Reveals ENTROPY operates as criminal corporation with service contracts
- Sets up M6 financial tracking, M8 insider threat patterns
- Human cost in M7 if data sold to foreign governments

Educational focus: Human Factors (insider threats), Web Security (CMS exploitation),
Security Operations (forensic investigation), Systems Security (privilege escalation)

Document: 600+ lines detailing specific operational plans, consequences, and NPCs.
Mission ready for Stage 1 narrative structure development.
