Antiswarm

During the Convox at the Concent of Saunt Tredegarh, organizers describe and begin to stage a contingency dispersal network known as “the Antiswarm.” Named by the Ita, it is framed as risk mitigation should the opposing faction escalate: the community would scatter into the Sæculum in pre‑assigned small cells of avout, yet remain coordinated over the Reticulum so essential functions continue while dispersed.

Each participant is already assigned to a cell, but only cell leaders are briefed in advance. Leaders receive evacuation plans and responsibilities; the rank‑and‑file are issued rucksacks and a dormant badge. If activation is ordered, a person’s badge awakens and directs them to their cell’s rendezvous. Cells are designed to include Ita, ending the usual avout–Ita segregation for the duration and shifting work toward immediately Sæcular tasks.

Public logistics—open‑air distribution of gear with military support—are used as a deterrence signal that dispersal can happen at once. Sæcular officials described as the Panjandrums are visibly involved in arrangements.

Some participants explicitly compare the Antiswarm’s envisioned effects to a “second Rebirth” (a renewed Praxic turn), though this remains a characterization rather than a formal declaration.

Operational use and support cells

Accounts from later operations describe the Antiswarm actively functioning as a distributed support web. Numbered ground cells coordinate over the Reticulum to assist mission teams, supplying navigation prompts, checklists, narrow‑beam communications, resource tracking, and medical oversight that enforces rest and hydration. Examples include Cell 87 coordinating from an equipment shed far from Tredegarh, a support team working out of a drained swimming pool in a Kelx parochial suvin, and another operating from an unmarked drummon at a maintenance depot. Individual support cells can themselves be backed by other cells, forming layered assistance networks.

In this role, the Antiswarm is shown operating beyond deterrence: it can sustain complex, distributed work while dispersion remains an option.
