Someone has to watch everyone.

HR calls it initiative.

The severance package is a green terminal glow and a mild existential crisis.

**Datapunk** is an idle tapper about building a surveillance empire out of your basement, one bad decision at a time, until you ascend for shards and do the whole thing again, slightly worse as a person.

The org chart, such as it is:

- 5 stages, BASEMENT to VOID, each one bleaker and shinier than the last

- 10 collectors, 8 miners, 25 ops, and 18 research lines to convince yourself this is optimization and not obsession

- A corruption altar waiting at the end for when it stops working

- 9 bosses and a live (bot) rival leaderboard, so someone is always beating you, in real time, on purpose
