The Aegis Protocol They promised a sanctuary. They built a cage. Elias spent twenty years in the high-stakes world of maritime security, protecting massive tankers from pirates in the Indian Ocean. When he finally retires to the "perfect" gated community, he expects silence and safety. What he finds is the Aegis Protocol. The HOA doesn't just manage the landscaping-they manage the residents. Using military-grade surveillance tech, automated drones, and a mandatory "neighborhood mesh" network, they've turned a quiet suburb into a live-environment experiment in total compliance. When Elias refuses to "sync" his life to the system, the neighborhood turns against him. The gates lock. The power goes out. The drones descend. Now, Elias must use every old-school ship security trick in his arsenal to dismantle a digital fortress that knows his every move. In the suburbs, the walls don't just have ears-they have targets.
