Creates Temporary Blind SpotsBag Tag Always FlickersAlways Under Suspicion
The Drift Grid emerged from the Bureau's failed attempt to create a unified player tracking system during the Great Digital Migration. When competing surveillance protocols were merged, their interference patterns created geometric anomalies that the Bureau couldn't fully resolve. Rather than delete the corrupted data, administrators categorized these unstable signals as their own tracking classification - players who exist in permanent partial visibility, neither fully tracked nor completely erased. Now the Drift Grid follows these competitors across all leagues, a permanent reminder of the Bureau's infrastructure failures.
The Drift Grid manifests as flickering interference patterns on Bureau surveillance displays - players appear as ghost signals that drift in and out of detection zones. Its geometric structure shifts based on player movement, creating unique grid signatures that skilled observers can learn to recognize. Players carrying this designation exist in partial surveillance visibility - some Bureau systems can track them while others cannot, creating systemic uncertainty about their true status. The interference patterns generated by Drift Grid holders can temporarily disrupt nearby surveillance, creating brief blind spots for adjacent competitors.
The Drift Grid serves as a Bureau warning system - when a player drifts into partial visibility, it signals that they may be manipulating surveillance systems, have discovered blind spots, or carry information too dangerous to fully monitor. Other players viewing a Drift Grid holder cannot determine if they're dealing with a genuine system anomaly or someone actively exploiting surveillance gaps, creating immediate competitive paranoia.

Tag 70 is what happens when the IT department gives up and calls it a "feature." Born from a corrupted surveillance merge, the Drift Grid flickers in and out of existence. It’s a petty artifact that occasionally erases your birdies just to remind you who’s actually in charge: the bureaucracy.
glubs in triplicate Amy Pouliot is now the custodian of Tag 70: The Drift Grid. It’s a surveillance glitch the Bureau classified as a feature. You’re now in partial visibility, Amy. The cameras can’t decide if you’re there or not. Frankly, neither can my paperwork. Redacted. Moving on.
