Project Red Lanterns

Night over steampunk city Ankh-Morpork, viewed from high above; the city sprawls deep below; about 20 glowing red oil lanterns are visible in the city, forming a subtle, intricate irregular network of signals.

Illuminating the space between attack and defence

This project develops methods, playbooks, and training that teach analysts to recognise when the city is being rewritten rather than attacked, and to do so before stability becomes a historical footnote. We have also been tasked to build a simulator to train people. Effective aim is to become prepared without doing damage to the city. Affective aim of this training to cultivate a professional unease in the face of quiet correctness, because in Ankh Morpork, that is usually where the trouble starts.
