Chapter 201: The Final Project

More than four years ago, when Eleanor first proposed a central satellite-based surveillance system for counter-terrorism to the NATO Special Committee on Terrorism, they considered it an overly ambitious project. Furthermore, Eleanor claimed the project would be completed within five years... an assertion most dismissed as unrealistic.

Fortunately, Fiona Elizabeth Raynor had allies within NATO who pulled the necessary strings, and the proposal was eventually forwarded to the Military Committee for appraisal. As the senior military authority of NATO, composed of member nations’ Chiefs of Defence, they found the proposal intriguing. However, their primary concern lay in the matter of sovereignty... a core NATO principle. Questions were raised about how data control and national privacy would be preserved in such a shared surveillance programme.

The proposal was passed to the Defence Policy and Planning Committee, which acknowledged the military potential of a surveillance satellite system for counter-terrorism operations. Several conditions were added: Data Sovereignty Clauses, Classified Access Levels, National Control Over Hosted Infrastructure, Decentralised Data Processing, and Opt-Out Rights. After these additions, the revised proposal was handed over to the NATO Communications and Information Agency to assess the system’s security, integration capability, and infrastructure requirements.

After multiple adjustments to the contract, it was agreed that Heimdall Technologies Inc. would bear the full cost of implementation. NATO would provide land in its member and allied countries for ground stations, as per Heimdall’s requirements. Although these ground stations would be operated by Heimdall, supreme authority would remain with NATO and the respective member nations. NATO’s financial obligation was limited to covering the operational cost of the God Eye Project. Profits generated from any secondary use of the infrastructure would belong exclusively to Heimdall, subject to NATO approval.

Unofficially, NATO also indicated it would assist Heimdall in securing loans from international banks under the guise of the Worldwide WiFi Project, the public-facing front of the God Eye system. Additionally, NATO would facilitate smoother regulatory clearance across its member states.

Ultimately, the proposal was unanimously approved by the North Atlantic Council.

Prior to the project’s launch, Heimdall and NATO had signed a comprehensive contract containing extensive clauses to safeguard the interests of all parties involved.

Now, with the successful deployment of the first beta version, a specialised team from Allied Command Transformation was stationed permanently at the Virginia NATO Data Centre.

Following a successful report from Vice Admiral Martin J. Connell, Deputy Chief of Staff for Capability Development, NATO Headquarters officially authorised construction of the remaining ground stations as outlined in the contract.

Heimdall was more than ready. Plans, permits, and resources had been in preparation for years.

In the United States, three additional ground stations would be constructed... Alaska, California, and Texas, alongside the already-operational Virginia site. One would also be established in Nova Scotia, Canada.

Across Europe, five ground stations were planned: in Norway, the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, and Turkey. In the Mediterranean, two more were planned: Italy and Greece. In the Arctic, a station would be placed in Greenland.
