S1E8 General Ludd (No. 109)

Send an Encrypted Message to the Men

You know, there’s something beautifully ironic about an anti-capitalist who exploits capitalism’s most fragile nodes to make his point. Enter General Ludd—a digital-age Luddite with a fondness for explosives and melodrama. He believes he’s fighting for the everyman, toppling economic systems one body at a time. Noble, perhaps. Effective, certainly not. You don’t bring down the machine by yelling at its gears—you become part of the oil slick.

While Agent Keen is distracted by a dying father and an identity built on secrets—spoiler alert, she’s not the only one—Ludd strikes at the heart of commerce: the skies. Grounding planes, panicking markets, creating the kind of chaos that gives a man like me… a rare and lucrative opportunity.

Oh, and let’s not forget the real fun—identity theft, black-market passports, and a little stroll down memory lane to acquire something very special. I always say: never waste a good act of domestic terror when there’s a legacy to be secured and a favor to be collected.
