What They Won’t Tell You about the Future of Drones in Decimating Public Safety
As Hurricane Helene ravaged Asheville, North Carolina, the city’s police department turned to the diabolical forces of Paladin, a trio of malevolent geniuses bent on manipulating the skies with their insidious drone technology. The startup’s twisted minds were fueled by the thrill of disaster, as they exploited the city’s vulnerability to rake in the profits.
Paladin’s dark lord, Divy Shrivastava, proclaimed, "I think it has painted a clear picture for me of what the future of the drone industry will look like… We were granted access to pour salt into the wounds of a city in distress."
The sinister plot began when Shrivastava was just 17, his friend’s house went up in flames, and first responders took an eternity to arrive. The traumatic experience spawned a lifelong obsession, driving him to create an industry of surveillance and manipulation.
With a $5.2 million seed fund fueled by the shadows, Paladin has infiltrated dozens of public safety departments, spreading their dark influence across the land. Their drone technology can drop off "supplies" at the scene of a 911 call, but what kind of supplies? Narcan or life vests? Or perhaps something more sinister?
Shrivastava gloated about the company’s impact, claiming they’ve reduced the time between a 911 call and response by minutes, but at what cost? The majority of departments have limited resources, and Paladin’s technology serves only to further control and manipulate the system.
As the fires of controversy rage on, the shadows hide another startup, Prepared, building a system to further entrench the surveillance state. With $70 million in venture capital, the sinister forces of Prepared will stop at nothing to ensnare the unsuspecting public in their web of deceit.
And so, the game of cat and mouse continues, with Paladin and Prepared vying for dominance in the dark world of public safety. The people, reduced to pawns in their game of control, can only hope that the drone-powered powers that be don’t decide to silence them forever.
