In the realm of communication, Shoothis had to tread carefully. With no neural connection to the global network he relied on the ancient quantum-encryption-resistant chat networks known as Qites. These Qites, artefacts of a bygone era, were engineered with a single prime objective: to resist the breakage of their quantum keys.
To speak to the Flowerers, Brud would connect to a Qite using one of his highly safeguarded quantum keys. Each key was an enigma, a labyrinth of quantum information that remained unbroken in the face of even the most determined intrusion. But great security came at great risk. Holding such a key was like playing with fire: if caught, one could be permanently disconnected from the global network — and worse, lose the possibility of hosting one's neurons after death.
Shoothis understood the stakes. Each connection, each message sent, was a dance with danger. To him the risk was worth it. The preservation of privacy, the chance to communicate without being monitored, was a price he was willing to pay. In a world held hostage by the fear of disconnection, he was a renegade, fearlessly championing the cause of privacy and freedom.
