The Revolution
The Grid goes live in 2043. Open blind spots in five districts by the twelfth day: a Mesh Node in each. Your units in a blind spot slip out of sight; Swarm Marchers can gather wherever a node stands.
Objective
Blind spots in five districts on the twelfth day
Stars
- Win the level
- Already meet the objective by turn 9
- No Hacker Crew revealed
The game's hint Mesh Nodes move one district a turn. A sweep finds and destroys any node in its district, so keep them moving and spread out.
- Won
- The blind spots held
- Lost
- The Grid covered the city
The Law
Bring the Grid to 80% across the twenty inner districts. A blind spot counts as nothing: sweep the districts, tear the nodes out, and install cameras where you have influence.
Objective
Grid coverage 80% across the inner city
Stars
- Win the level
- Win within 9 turns
- Surveillance never at 60
The game's hint A sweep needs a Drone Swarm in the district or next door. Every drone adds to Surveillance: the cleaner win keeps it under 60.
- Won
- The Grid covered the city
- Lost
- The blind spots held

Blind Spots
In 2043 the Grid went live: a camera on every lamp post, reporting to the Steward.
If the Revolution won
The mesh held: there were streets the Grid would never see.
Otherwise
The Grid covered the city, and the blind spots closed one by one.
