TERRA CONFLICTUS: OPERATOR TACTICS

My name is Jesse Alexander. I’m a screen scribbler, and I write TV shows and some movies and video games.

All these things that I’ve worked on sit somewhere around the tech, intelligence, military, scientific systems; that kind of stuff has always been part of my specialty.

Over the years, that put me in some very cool rooms with people who actually work in those spaces. I’ve worked with CIA people and military people, even been to NORAD and Space Command, and made a lot of connections over the years with very interesting people in that community.

A few years back, I got a weird email through a secondary Signal account that I use for anonymous tips and such when I’m doing research. This message didn’t have any identifying info, but referenced some of my work and suggested whoever was sending it had known some of the people that I knew.

The source claimed that they were part of a program connected to CERN, which is that crazy Hadron Super Collider in Switzerland. The way they described their part of the program wasn’t about something that I had known about.

It was about using different quantum states and technology for tapping into space-time, but not for time travel. It was more about resolving probabilities and grabbing usable data out of that, like hacking future information streams, is sort of how I wrap my head around it.

I figured this was some prank or kind of AI spam, so I didn’t really respond and just thought it was weird. A few months later I got another email, and this one had an attachment.

The files in it were really weird; they were all kinds of different formats, and some I could access using like Winrar and just sort of unzipping and using steganography to unpack what was buried in some images.

It referenced events and organizations and timelines from the year 2060, essentially into 2105, and other events that hadn’t happened yet. There wasn’t a pitch; I thought maybe someone was trying to sell me on something or convince me of something I had no idea about.

The more I started to look at it, the more I started to wonder: was this stuff real? Was it fake? I started seeing patterns across the fragments that connected and made assumptions about future conflicts and logistics, seeing failure repeating with variation and sometimes contradicting each other, with all these weird gaps.

My first instinct was to reconstruct it, so I ran chunks through Claude and ChatGPT and tried to get it organized, but that wasn’t helping. The outputs looked clean, but were kind of flattened, and almost felt even more bogus.

Instead of trying to complete the data, I started stripping it down into lore and a rule set, because I was thinking that disclosing this in a traditional way wouldn’t make any sense and would just make me look weird.

I thought, well, why don’t I just start messing around with it like a game?

I’ve done some narrative design, but it’s not my core domain of expertise. So, I brought the AI back in to get it to help me build game systems: dice and thresholds and modifiers, so I could play through these future events.

It has to be a hoax, this whole thing, maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. I have no idea; there’s cool stuff here, but either way, I get to play with it, you can too.

If I get more of these weird messages from the source, I’ll be updating the material, for whatever that’s worth. Is it real? Is it fake? No idea.

Either way, it’s the kind of stuff I’m into. I hope you take this madness in the spirit with which it’s being shared. Have a look, or click away.

Thx!
