VICTORY!!!

 VICTORY!!! The SSA had achieved a resounding victory. We had invaded the 9th grade and uprooted the core of the conflict.

OP Retroleaf Comeback Plan

1. Quell Rumors and Confirm the Truth: Infiltrate 10th and 9th grades to address the issue at its source.
2. Utilize the (SC)

    We stymied 10th grade with shock and awe, we stung 11th grade under the bridge, and isolated 12th grade from knowing anything. The SSA had truly paved the way. Now was a time for reorientation—shifting our efforts back toward GCAM and the 2024 objectives. The plan was to position Maverick as my successor for Secretary of State, investigate the root causes of Crush War 3 (CW3), and ensure it never happens again.

    In the wake of CW3, SSA, GCAM, President Allison, and her allies, including Vera, were deeply engaged in the student council, finalizing prom plans. Vice President Geneva, aiming for a landmark achievement, wanted prom to be flawless. SSA intelligence had already uncovered that Vera was not planning a 2024 run. With Summer’s popularity trailing the president’s, Geneva emerged as the strongest contender to challenge Allison. However, SSA projections indicated an uphill battle. With a weakened GCAM and their allies, President Allison and her jVn coalition held a clear advantage, and new challenges emerged.

    Though SSA had triumphed over the 9th grade, tensions persisted. Promposals, which I likened to a “military tactic,” were in full swing, and there was a risk that some 9th graders might reignite conflict by faking a promposal from Maria or pulling a similar stunt. The SSA still hadn’t fully uncovered the cause of CW3, beyond speculation about stock shares. The leading theory was that Geronimo threatened a collapse unless Denver leaked the plan, though Maverick’s involvement remained suspicious.

    GCAM was mobilizing like never before when prom’s success was at stake. Despite their inaction during threats from jVn, Damien’s targeting of SSA, the chaos of CW3, and Molly and Valerie’s attacks on Hazel, while promoting Denver-oriented terror, GCAM sprang into action for prom. VP Geneva took charge, amending the rules to allow freshmen to attend prom if invited by an upperclassman, addressing the low attendance caused by Dash’s competing birthday party.

    GCAM invited every freshman to prom, promoted it on GNN, and within days secured enough attendees. They then tasked me with developing software for prom king and queen voting. By the day before prom, the software was ready to collect votes. However, the absence of the 12th grade and some students’ inability to scan QR codes posed challenges. I predicted Jayla would win one of the awards, with Maria as a close contender. In the lunchroom, Jayla and Nadelie campaigned fiercely for Jenna to win prom queen.

    While counting votes upstairs, I noticed Maria was leading. Then I spotted an anomaly: in my haste, I had allowed students to vote from my computer instead of their phones, resulting in multiple votes for Maria (who SSA internal polling showed would lose to Jayla in a hypothetical 2024 election). “Blast, those 9th graders stole the election,” I muttered. Confronting Maverick, he admitted to voting five times, though I suspected more. Maria narrowly defeated Jayla by two votes, with Jayla and Nadelie collectively earning 45% of the vote—proof of jVn’s dominance as the school’s most powerful agency.

    Maverick’s election tampering didn’t affect Jenna, however. Thanks to jVn’s relentless campaigning, Jenna crushed the competition, securing over 50% of the vote. Denver also won, with 12th graders remotely voting to defeat Elijah in a 50/37 split. Citing national security concerns, I abstained from attending prom but spoofed my GPS and monitored events via my new Snapchat account through Operation N.O.R.M.A.L.

Mission Accomplished, though the poll numbers did not look good.
