Operative Communication Network

The Operative Communication Network is a little-understood communication network that is primarily used by operatives, as the name suggests, to communicate. The original developer of the network is unknown, but it is a highly secure end-to-end encrypted system that requires credits in order to use. After a number of credits are sent to a cryptocurrency wallet, a user is granted a one-month access token to the network. The Operative Communication Network is primarily used by operatives in order to anonymously communicate with each other, as well as their contacts and handlers.

Although the exact origin of the Operative Communication Network is unknown, the open-source nature of its software means that it is well-understood and trusted by Operatives and their agencies as a highly secure network. It is also illegal in several nations due to its encryption, similarly to dark web browsers and virtual private networks. Unlike those, however, access to the Operative Communication Network is restricted (by access to credits) to operatives and their support infrastructure.

The actual structure of the Operative Communication Network most closely resembles that of an instant-messaging service. It acts as a framework for applications to be developed using its systems, and can handle voice, video, text, and data transmission. The network only permits direct connections between users that know each others' network codes, and both parties agree to connect. The network then scrambles the data exchanged between the parties, routing it through multiple locations similarly to a VPN, but completely decentralised. Privacy is the number one concern of the Operative Communication Network, and it is coded in such a way as to make that very clear.

Attempts have been made to reverse-engineer the code or access the crypto wallet that credits are sent to in order to use the network, but no leads have been found on its original creator.
