The Orrery
“We do not steal secrets. We notice.”
Who We Are
An orrery is a clockwork model of the planets. We keep a different one: the Model, a living, verified picture of what is actually happening on Earth. We are old, small, and answer to no government.
States hoard secrets and lie about them. Our wager runs the other way. The truth is almost always in plain sight, in shipping manifests and satellite passes and the shadows in photographs, visible to anyone patient enough to look. Our agents do not break into embassies. They out-observe everyone.
The Model
Every fact we trust lives in the Model. When the world and the Model disagree, a Discrepancy is opened and an agent is sent to resolve it. Those assignments are the missions you can play today. No clearance needed to start. The debrief is another matter.
One day, part of the Model will be visible here: the Global Watch, a live view of the planet's open data. It is being calibrated. Agents who want early access should say so below.
The Keeper
Dispatches and briefings are written by the Keeper of the Orrery, who signs only as K. K notices everything, explains only what is necessary, and treats agents as capable adults. Questions about K's identity are filed, then lost.
Joining
There is no application. There is only work. Resolve a Discrepancy, collect your debrief, and join the Roster to hear when the next one opens.
The Orrery is fiction. The skills are not. SpyPlanet missions are fictional training exercises: real places and public information may feature, but every person, organization, and event is invented, and the tradecraft taught here is legal, ethical, and safe to practice.
