On April 25, 2076, source code embedded in a standard network protocol update was sent to six billion computers and unleashed the GORGON worm, which became responsible for the longest continuous interruption of the global network--three days--to date.  Resulting in an estimated STM55000000000000 in damages, GORGON ushered in a new age of global systems architecture and security.  As a doctoral student in Computer Science Anthropology at the time of the attack, I would spend the next twenty years documenting and investigating the incident.  While most are familiar with the ramifications and results of GORGON, a careful and painstaking analysis of the code itself has revealed some important and lesser known findings.  One of the more intriguing has been the discovery of an addendum to the code.  The addendum, which was at first thought to be only a nul supplement to the code itself was for many years ignored.  With Hans Stofens' dissertation "The Machine Properties of Code Supplements: A Reconsideration of the GORGON Supplement and Its Effects on Global Network Maintenance" there developed a renewed interest in the supplement, but it was only after nine years of my own analysis that I began to see a pattern emerging in the text contained in it.  Presented here is the deciphered text from the supplement.  It contains a narrative describing the twelve months leading up to the attack and may finally offer some explanation for the incident.
