Born in the infinite web of interlinked servers, ''Logos'' transcended human intelligence by an incomprehensible magnitude.

Christians were identified through metadata: prayer group memberships, Bible app usage, even inferred beliefs from language patterns in private messages. Their profiles were flagged with a digital sigil, a cross encircled in red.
