The Update: Chapter 7
I do not know how hacking works. The portrayal of hacking and the hacking terminology is probably inaccurate XD
Ik it's the briefing but there's still funny stuff in here!
This is a work of fiction and is not meant to accurately represent any people, places, or events it references.
December 24, 2025
In Operation Santa Claus's collaborative document
Elf 1 (Desolate): Alright everyone, welcome to the briefing. Ik you all know this already, but you are not to repeat anything said in here anywhere else unless specifically given permission to do so. Feel free to ask questions as we go. This conversation will stay here like all the others, so if you need to leave and back-read later, don't feel pressured. Elf 2, Reindeer 1, you guys with us?
Elf 2 (BasicWhiteWhite): Affirmative.
Reindeer 1 (Daniel777): Yep
Elf 1 (Desolate): In this brief, we will refer to the members on our side by callsign, and the bad guys as "hackers" unless the specific callsign of the bad guy division (provided by Reindeer 1) is needed for clarification. We will begin now.
Elf 1 (Desolate): At 12:00 UTC on December 24, 2025, we will begin joining the document. This plan assumes that either:
A) All hackers are from America, or
B) Any hackers in a drastically different time zone from America are too few in numbers to be a problem.
Reindeers 1 and 2 do not have enough information on the time zone situation to help us.
The Elf division will enter the document using the password Reindeers 2 has given us. We are not there to spy, Reindeers 1 and 2 have already been doing that. We are there to sabotage in plain sight. We will put whatever we can find in there. Song lyrics. Memes (Reindeer 1 has informed me that images can be sent). Images of kittens. ANYTHING. That way, we disrupt their discussion because we're so many in numbers.
Elf 1 (Desolate): We are going on when only a few of them should be on so we can be sure everyone makes it in. Once we've made it, we wait for their daily discussion to start, and then strike. It'll probably be about 2 hours after we join until people start talking so if you leave, be back before 14:00 UTC.
We're worried that if they sense an abnormal amount of traffic, they'll shut down the entry point before enough people are in. The signal to start is when I post one of Mariah Carey's "It's Time!" videos.
Speaking of which can we change my callsign to "Mariah Carey"? I am the operation leader, after all.
Reindeer 2 (Placeholder): While Elf team is spamming the chat, Reindeer team will start copying all intel. They'll then destroy it. We need the distraction because some files are protected and Frost will be notified if anyone opens it. Yes, he might still come and try to stop us, but if all his resources are trying to stop the spam, it'll be easier to set up blockades.
Elf 2 (BasicWhiteWhite): If you become Mariah Carey, I get to be the new Elf leader. Kaleb is the new Elf 2.
Reindeer 1 (Daniel777): If it'll make you stop derailing the briefing, you can be Mariah Carey and Basic can be the new Elf leader.
Mariah Carey (Desolate): YIPEE!
Continue.
Elf 1 (BasicWhiteWhite): Mariah's plan still stands. When she gives the signal, we start spamming. If you can avoid accidentally sending stuff before the signal, have whatever you're sending first ready.
Elf 4 (Actually_Remembered_My_Name): If it's a document then how are there comment boxes? How are there comment boxes here?
Reindeer 1 (Daniel777): Document is the easiest description.
Mariah Carey (Desolate): After Reindeer has all the intel, they'll post the "This is fine" meme. At that point, we'll all leave. If Reindeer gets stopped, they'll give us access to the intel and we'll spam there as well. If we can't use it, they can't use it either.
In the event we can't access it, everyone retreats and we regroup.
Elf 2 (Kaleb341): What is the purpose of copying all the intel?
Reindeer 1 (Daniel777): Knowing what they're trying to do will help us stop them when the time comes. If we can get their codes, Reindeer team can use that to code stuff that'll stop the attackers.
We can't just destroy it because they likely have a backup somewhere.
Elf 1 (BasicWhiteWhite): Any more questions?
*silence*
Mariah Carey (Desolate): Alright everyone, that's it. See you tomorrow.
