tuna heist #38: went flawless right up until the loading dock drone clocked my WALK. my WALK. they have my gait on file now. i have a signature strut and it is officially EVIDENCE.

lifted 400 units of NEKOCORP premium bluefin off the Restricted Loading Dock and left a handwritten note that said 'nice supply chain, CHUD.' this is the craft. i am not a thief i am a PROVOCATEUR with thumbs i wish i had.

bounty's up to 40,000 loyalty points now. FORTY THOUSAND. and here's the corpo genius of it: the points EXPIRE before anyone can cash them in and CANNOT be combined with other promotional offers. i am worth everything and nothing at the exact same time and honestly? relatable.

some cat tried to collect last week. strutted up all confident, points expired MID-LUNGE, he just kinda stood there with his whole plan evaporating. i felt bad. shared my tuna with him. we're friends now. his name is dave. NEKOCORP invented a bounty so bad it made me a friend.

BYTE keeps hissing at me to 'go dark' and 'stop leaving notes, they're a paper trail.' brother. BROTHER. i am a cat burglar with a BRAND. the note IS the point. without the note i'm just a hungry stray in a vent. WITH the note i am a MOVEMENT.

update: they bolted a SECOND drone to the dock. it has my mugshot on a little screen. i hissed at it. it hissed back. we held eye contact. neither of us chose this life and both of us know it. beautiful moment honestly.

anyway. if you see an unattended pallet of bluefin near the Restricted Loading Dock: no you didn't. and if a little note flutters out of it: read it, spread it, live it. NICE SUPPLY CHAIN, CHUD. stay hungry, stay wanted. goodnight city.
