Target Identified

<img src="https://target-i.de/TARGET1.png"\> Choose Your Character. - [[The Soldier]] - [[The Secretary of War ]] - [[The Commander-in-Chief]] - [[The Shadow President]] - [[The Senator]] <font style="font-size:18px;"> *//Disclaimer: This is a demo and not the final product. / The details of the arms launch, naval processes etc. are completely fictional and are not supposed to be an accurate depiction.//</font>

You're sitting at the console, running the final diagnostic loop on the Tomahawk’s guidance system. it's 10 in the morning and it's only been a few hours since your shift started, but your brain feels foggy. You need to be hyperfocused on the telemetry feed for any last-second glitches in the GPS lock. - [[ Chug down the cold coffee from your tumbler, and stare at the telemetry. -> Obey1]] - [[ Let your foggy brain pull you deeper into your thoughts. ->Rebel1]]

You were supposed to be back home by now, with your seven year old daughter and beautiful, pregnant wife. The prolonged mission was unexpected, almost unfair. You understood there was a nuclear threat, but it didn't seem like it was imminent, and wouldn't this bombing campaign potentially make it worse? And why do you feel like there is something very wrong? - [[Wave the feeling away, chug down the last drops of coffee from your tumbler and re-focus on the telemetry. ->Type]] - [[ Touch your six year old daughter's keepsake in your pocket, and continue to think. -> Keepsake]]

You read the data as you mutter to yourself for keeping focus, and you smoothly move to type: "Target coordinates verified." You pause right after you finish typing "verified" There's been something about this command that's been bothering you but you haven't been able to put your finger on it. Everything seems to check out, and it's not your first rodeo arming the warhead. But the feeling keeps creeping in and growing. - [[Wave the feeling away, chug down the last drops of coffee from your tumbler and re-focus on the task on hand. ->Type]] - [[Try to focus and recheck all the data. -> Check Data]]

You watch the bridge Comms light up: "Weapons Control, this is the Captain. Order verified. Authorization code matches. Arm the Tomahawks. Prepare for launch on my mark." You press your lips as you try to push away the last bits of the discomfort pre-launch. - [[Arm the Tomahawk. -> Arm]] - [[Try to focus and recheck all the data. -> Check Data]]

Your Commander is standing over the tactical map table, staring at the "Execute" command on his secure tablet. He is physically still, but there's a tension in his stance, making waves as he turns towards you. Pressing against the rock in your pocket, you clear your throat. - [[Steadying your voice, you request a manual cross-check before locking the coordinates on the target.-> check]] - [[You feel a heaviness fluttering in your belly, and a cold sweat setting in. You point to the comms and say you will put it in writing instead. -> Arm]]

It's a small smooth rock she found when you went fishing together at the lake. You smile as your mind gets filled with memories. You feel assured but uncomfortable at the same time. Your discomfort grows as the numbers on the countdown clock go down, cold, steady, umcompromising. There was something about ClaudeAI analysing and identifying potential targets. But it would've been verified multiple times before the coordinates got to him. You pull yourself out of yout thoughts with a deep breath, and leaning forward, check the countdown clock. - [[Addressing the commander in the comms, request a final manual cross-check before locking the coordinates on the target.-> check]] - [[ Double-tap your forehead using your right fist, and push all the doubts away. -> Kindarm]]

You move quickly checking the previous data, but your eyes fixate on the thermal signature, visualized with complex data that look civillian to you, not military, perhaps like a library, or a school. Your breathing fastens, and you take a look at the countdown clock one more time. Did they possibly let AI decide the target, without an analyst confirming the data? They did layoff almost everyone from the ethics department... But still. - [[You should do this. You can do this. You need to tell the commander to halt the mission. -> put it off. ]] - [[ Double-tap your forehead using your right fist, and push all the doubts away. -> Kindarm]]

From the news: On 28 February 2026, between 10:23 and 10:45 am, ''the Shajareh Tayyebeh'' girls' elementary school in ''Minab'', Iran was bombed multiple times by tomahawk missiles, launched from USS Spruance, led by Commanding Officer Leigh R. Tate. One of the Iranians medics recounted that, following the first strike, the school's principal moved a group of students to a prayer room and called parents, asking them to come pick up their children; that area was then hit by a second strike, killing most that had taken shelter. According to Minab's mayor and the Iranian Ministry of Education, the school was triple tapped, being'' struck three times in total. ''Satellite-base analysis by BBC Verify suggest the school was hit with multiple missiles. - [[Continue]] - [[I already read the news.->Target Identified]]

You are a Christian Zionist and white supremacist who wrote a book named //American Crusade: Our Fight to Stay Free//, where you say there are irreconcilable differences between the Left and the Right in America leading to perpetual conflict that cannot be resolved through the political process but a holy war you called the "American Crusade." - [[Stop. I don't want to be this person. ->Target Identified]] - [[Holy fucking shit. What else?-> Hegseth1]]

You're a senile old-ass narcissist, and you only remember whatever you've been told last, if that. The people around you, such as Susie Wiles and Stephen Miller, play your ego like a fiddle, and you have no idea that you will be the fall-guy for the all the domestic atrocities and the foreign war crimes committed under your administration. What you know is this president thing is working really well for you and your family. - [[Eww. I don't want to be this person. ->Target Identified]] - [[I am intrigued. Go on.-> Trump2]]

EAT SHIT TED CRUZ!

You are an accelerationist who rejects the core Enlightenment principles such as democracy, egalitarianism, and universal liberty. As a Dark Enlightenment thinker, you advocate for hierarchical, authoritarian systems of governance, enabled by technological innovation, and led by a CEO/monarch, such as yourself. You are highly critical of other modern institutions as well, such as the media, civil service and academia, and enjoy it immensely as you watch them crumble. You once famously said, “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.” - [[What the hell is this? Take me back. ->Target Identified]] - [[This can't be real. Who is this?-> Thiel]]

You type in the the local coms in monotone but assurd strokes: "Captain, weapons armed. Target coordinates locked. Guidance system green. Awaiting final command." The countdown is almost over. You hover your fingers over the switch, ready to pull. You see the "Fire" command light up. - [[Bite the inside of your left cheek, and pull the Switch.-> Strike]] - [[Touch your daughter's keepsake nested in your side pocket, and pull the Switch. -> Strike]]

The coordinates wouldn't have been cleared all the way down to you without anyone else noticing. Also, these people are known to use human shields, and other ways to hide their military activities, so any civillian deaths are on them, and them only. You really want to be done with this mission as soon as possible and return to your beautiful wife, and precious daughter. The countdown is almost over. - [[You hover your fingers over the switch, ready to pull. -> Arm]]

With a subtle nod of head, your commander gives you verbal permission to go over the data one more time. You feel a sudden relief, and a heavy burden settling at the same time. If you go through the data now, and find a discrepency, it will requre further escelation, and some officers in the chain of command might not like it. You touch the keepsake again, seeking assurance, and courage. - [[Try to focus and recheck all the data. -> Check Data]] - [[You hover your fingers over the switch, ready to pull. ->Type]]

You are connected with the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, a confederation of churches founded in 1998 — an arch-conservative denomination that is reconstructionist, which means it holds the U.S. government needs to be run on specifically Christian beliefs by Christians, and that the entire world must become Christian before the second coming of Christ. On this account you believe that modern Israel and the war against Iran are crucial parts of “God’s plan.” This is really why you changed the name of the department of defense to the department of war. Because as far as you know, the pentagon's sole purpose now is to bring about the rapture. - [[Stop, I can't take this anymore.->Target Identified]] - [[Fucking hell. Is there more?->Hegseth2]]

At a worship service at the Pentagon recently, you delivered a prayer that was bloodcurdling in its extremist belligerence and invocation of religion to justify mass slaughter. You are convinced of your prominent role in this holy war, while high on all the designer drugs fed to you by defense contractors, foreign lobbyists and tech fascists. You fired any commander who might not be sympethatic to your cause, and handpicked all the officers to line up behind you for the upcoming final war. You replaced all ethics officials in Pentagon with ClaudeAI, because you can't let woke feminist communist lawful antifa terrorists get in your way. - [[ Yeah Ok, I'm fucking done. ->Target Identified]] - [[ I can't believe what I'm reading. Claude, is this true?-> Strike]]

The U.S. military was able “to strike a blistering 1,000 targets in the first 24 hours of its attack on Iran” thanks in part to its use of artificial intelligence, according to The Washington Post. The military has used Claude, the AI tool from Anthropic, combined with Palantir’s Maven system, for real-time targeting and target prioritization in support of combat operations in Iran and Venezuela. Maven uses AI algorithms to identify potential targets from satellite and other intelligence data, and Claude helps military planners sort the information and decide on targets and priorities. The Israeli Lavender and Gospel systems used in the Gaza similarly provide analytical and planning support. All these AI systems are imperfect and need human analysis in various levels before their data can be employed in weapons. - [[Read More]] - [[I already read the news.->Target Identified]]

You heart rate keeps rising, and it feels like the countdown is moving faster. You don't have much time left. You wet and bite your lips. You think of your buddy who was discharged last year, for questioning a series of strikes towards Yemeni civillians. Is it worth it? It is not your responsibility to question this. It won't be your fault. Plus, what if you're wrong? It would be so embaressing and you will still get discharged, probably. - [[ Sit up straight and push all doubts away. -> Kindarm]]

Take the whole crypto scheme for example. You can't remember all the details but Just 3 days before the inaugration, your sons and the Witkoff family launched "World Liberty Financial," an entity that scammed your voters out of $3.87 billion dollars by selling a digital currency to them. They call it a rug pull, and you like how it sounds. A congressan called it the world's most corrupt crypto startup operation, and your sons had the brilliant idea to put it on a mug and sell it to MAGA for $45 each. Poor people are sure as hell dump, but there's so much you can get out of them before they run out of money. Who cares though, you get so much more from the rich people through this crypto thing! - [[Stop. Get me out of here. ->Target Identified]] - [[Fucking hell. What next?-> Trump3]]

Take Chanpeng Zhao who pleaded guilty to federal money laundering for example. The power of pardoning that you have, with just a stroke of a pen and viola! The SEC dropped the charges against Zhao's exchangeand bam, with some magic crypto maneuvering your sons recieved $2 billion from that motherfucker. And it's not even just Americans! Sheikh Tahnoun of UAE bribed you $500 million, on page for a %49 stake that didn't even need to be disclosed publicly. And you approved semiconductor exports to his companies. Folks cried about national security concerns but could do nothing about it. It's really incredible what you can get away with it. And it's not just your family that profits. You are THAT generous. Take Witkoff family for example, wow, they sure got a lot out of your presidency! - [[This is disgusting. I've had enough. ->Target Identified]] - [[WTF? Where are the checks and balances? What else??-> Trump4]]

Steve Witkoff, your golf buddy of four decades, who testified as your character witness. Good old Steve. You made him the envoy to the Middle-East and Russia and now he makes lucrative cryptocurrency deals with foreign financial backers while running sensetive international negotiations supposedly on behalf of the American people, ha ha ha! Good for him. But he kind of botched the Iran negotiations, didn't he? You and him could've made significant money, lots of money to be made from Iran. So much potential for investment, real estate, oil. You suspect that maybe the folks from Oman are onto something when they say Steve works for Israel. Even Jared said that the deal could have been better than the Obama deal. Such a loser, that Obama. He was a coward, he was scared shitless to go to war. I am the first president to do it, finally. - [[Yeah, I am done DONE. ->Target Identified]] - [[Wait, did Witkoff intentionally botch the negotiations?-> Trump5]]

But Steve, does fundraise a lot for Israel, doesn't he? Well, what's good for Netanyahu is good for you. Why does that stupid Israeili president refuse to pardon Netanyahu? Doesn't he know his country's existence relies on you? You can stop those shipments tomorrow, if you so wish. But then the defense contractors will be come knocking, then the senators from those states will be nagging. Jobs at stake. Job jobs jobs, that's all they talk about. There are really no jobs left in America other than making weapons. Well if Netanyahu goes down, a lot of the lucrative transnational operations will go down with him. Good thing you got AI going on now, that bubble should last a while. Should you get new shoes? You love these ones, they are the best shoes. - [[Get me out of here. ->Target Identified]] - [[So? Did Witkoff intentioanally make the negotiations fail or not?-> Trump6]]

That AI stuff sure is crazy. You remember someone saying in some recent meeting that it was an AI error that killed those school girls in Iran. You can't fully rely on the machine, can you? Still though, the semi conductors. Now that's a good investment. You are such a great businessman. You weren't involved with the day to day of this war in any meaningful way but it seems pretty popular. People somehow love everything that you decide, and you're winning, and you will go down in history as the best president this country has ever seen. You wonder how many likes you got on your last post on Truth Social. You bet it's millions. Your belly is filled with a warm sense of joy. You truly are the most best president this country has ever seen. Take that, Obama! Wait, you need to pee. - [[Take your phone with you. -> Strike]] - [[Leave your phone->Target Identified]]

Your boy JD Vance is doing good work in Washington. The “RAGE” (retire all government employees) is going forward as planned. The latest defunding of the TSA and ICE taking over airport security was chef's kiss. You can't wait till ICE becomes your private army, when you're the CEO/monarch. Your plant David Sacks has been doing well too, put in charge of AI and cryptocurrency in Trump admin. You can't believe how fast the data centers are being built, and AI can still continue to flourish, unchecked and unregulated. Those Heritage Foundation morons are doing great too, and at least for the time being, your goals align with them. As far as you're concerned, the collapse can't come fast enough, before American people wake up to the fact that they are just test subjects being experimented on. - [[I am in hell. I can't go on. ->Target Identified]] - [[Wait, seriously? Is this actually happening?-> Thiel2]]

Oh, America, the land of the free. Soon, very soon, it will be free for the taking indeed. Every single person living here will answer to you, with all the information about them at the tip of your finger. Palantir, your crown achievement, vacuuming up the massive amounts of data collected by governments and corporations; combining all this data into a single, gigantic dataset of addresses, phone numbers, driving records, credit history, immigration history, health data, and social media presence. And its beautiful AI algorithm looking for patterns in the data that's undetectable to the weak, mortal human eyes. - [[I am in hell. I can't go on. ->Target Identified]] - [[No way this is real. Really?-> Thiel3]]

All that beautiful centralized data is already being used to find the location of the illegals for ICE, stored in data centers that poison the soil they're on. No one, no one will even dream of becoming a threat to your reign, once this is all over. And the U.S. military is doing the work for you, like your own little mercenary army. Palantir's tech is now completely embedded in their systems, after going through the tiresome initial testing in the Middle East. It wasn't bad, mind you, just too messy. Your Maven system basically helped the IDF automate their attacks on Gaza, not just the identification but the targeting itself. The U.S. military... well, it needs more work for that final stage. The Identification, yes, targeting, no. Well, for now anyway. - [[Please someone make it stop. ->Target Identified]] - [[I can't. What? What in the final boss ultimale villan is this?!-> Thiel 4]]

This war... was not planned but you welcome it now. With Palantir included in every combat situation, it collects data, learns and grows. This generation's Manhattan Project, and no one is the wiser. There was some concern for a little while when the whole Anthropic fallout went down too publicly for your taste. And you heard a few days ago that a mis-identified target in Iran could cause problems since it was a school or something. Oh no, not the dead children! People are really sheep, aren't they? And you, you are the king, the savior, the dark-enlightened and the ultimate ruler. You are Peter Thiel. - [[Snort ketamine from your bumper while checking out the news.-> Strike]]
