As I ponder the Hazel case, I wonder if GCAM is finally starting to use its influence over its rivals—especially after I told them I felt left out. But then I think again. Why would anyone target Hazel? And more specifically, why would GCAM?
The crush theory is eliminated since GCAM members are also girls. Secondly, while Hazel may have expressed mild dislike toward them, SSA never shared that intelligence with GCAM.
GCAM was coded for social development, while SSA was coded for espionage. However, SSA’s project to integrate both functions was proving far more effective than our failed attempts to repurpose GCAM’s existing infrastructure into a key intel partnership. GCAM had invaluable relationships, a critical group chat holding important information, accessible home bases, thousands of social followers (thanks to Summer), and strong internal cohesion due to their reliance on mutually assured destruction. And yet, with all these perceived advantages, they still hadn’t converted.
Imagine a world where each of their five (or technically six, since Ava still lived nearby) bases were utilized for local surveillance. A nearby hangout could serve as an election and espionage HQ. Geneva’s powerful computers (along with SSA’s, if needed) could store and archive information. The group chat could be used for real-time intel exchange. Back at Glory High, their relationships with other students, their access to crucial information, and their sheer number of agents could actively reduce crime. Lastly, their social dominance could make them one of the greatest spy teams ever—leaders at home and abroad, spreading democracy and freedom from the school to the neighborhood to the malls.
Unfortunately, none of this was happening. Just last month, SSA released satirical headlines about them, claiming they "deserved better" and that SSA leadership was "getting bored." And while the so-called good guys (or gals) weren’t doing much, our files showed that the bad guys certainly were.
As I examined the files, it became clear that Geronimo was making a strong case for himself as our number one suspect. He knew who Hazel was, interacted with her, and—most importantly—he was an actual criminal. Not in the "got kicked out of a school district" sense, but in the "allegedly stole a car" sense.
During Spiritual Emphasis Day, a day SSA supports both to maintain its credentials and because, frankly, the heathen population of the school could use it (I mean, we have students who got kicked out of an entire school district—what the heck were they even doing?), most people were just annoyed. But Geronimo? He took it to another level.
Apparently, he valued SSA’s technological expertise. While other students might ask me to “hack a computer” or dig up dirt on someone, Geronimo asked me to call in a literal bomb threat to the school. Which, obviously, we declined—because, you know, the law.
This, combined with other illegal activities, makes it clear that he has the recklessness to vandalize school property and harass another student for no good reason. Geronimo is now our number one suspect. Meanwhile, SSA’s intelligence agency has uncovered new information about GCAM’s origins and its failures as an agency to properly ally with SSA. We still plan to invade GCAM-S once this whole Hazel phone case blows over. Could GCAM-S or external forces have set this up? I doubt it, but it’s possible. Maybe it’s a distraction to keep us from fabricating cases like the one we did with Denver, or to stop us from digging too deeply into GCAM’s operations.
