(I am way behind, so this might have been mentioned already. Storm came through last night and knocked out my internet. Didn't come back up till this morning.)


Think Bourne.
Covert OPs classified.
Career installed.
Think Cell.
Past drops go missing.

I don't think he is talking about cell-phones or posts in this one. I think he is talking about "cells" like the group of operatives in the Jason Bourne movie...


When I saw Cell, capitalized, I thought about the Stephen King book.

From Wikipedia, bolding is my emphasis:

"Clayton Riddell, a struggling artist from Maine, has just landed a graphic novel deal in Boston when "The Pulse", a signal sent out over the global cell phone network, suddenly turns every cell phone user into a mindless zombie-like killer."

This is an old meme, as it were.

The Kingsman (first movie) uses this exact thing as the culminating premise of the plot.

An oligarch (Samuel L Jackson) declares ‘free internet, for everybody, forever’. People line up to receive their new SIM cards.

He sends a signal to the elite, who are in their bunkers. A signal goes out, and everyone starts murdering each other.
