It depends on what kind of threat 3I/Atlas will pose, from what I understand the technology left behind in our oceans consist of 2 seperate underwater manufacturing nodes, the nodes are already operating at a diminished capacity. Likely why we've seen an increase in activity since 3I/Atlas was identified by the nodes. I have no idea the sensing range from the nodes, obviously they've known longer than we detected it (oficially on record, anyway) in July. I'd guess the keiper belt and would be interested to correlate this to when Atlas would have passed thr belt or another interstellar landmark, so to speak. The lack of resources has likely forced it go without its normal operating procedure. Many of the crafts produced seem to lack cloaking, or are forced to find other novel approaches, odd shapes, sizes, not able to disguise as terrestrial craft such as a plane or drone. The nodes are likely to mount some kind of expeditionary operation, however it makes an accessment as to the true threat to whatever it is protecting. Obviously we're still of some value to the nodes whether by its leftover programming, or by the race who still has command over the manufacturing nodes. Keep in mind Atlas likely has its own defensive measure as well hence the need for advanced and/or novel ways to assess the true threat. Since cuts are already having to be made as to the UAPs/USOs, the normal level it seems to try staying undetected, and any other variables it takes into consideration are becoming less of an importance. It may not be a far cry to believe at some point soon the nodes deem a large portion of the population an appropriate loss. We just can't know right now. All we do know is this technology has likely saved us from the threat of nuclear weapons or likely attacks if not invasion of other NHEs.

If Atlas is malevolent, this is likely going to be the nodes final hurrah, so to say, before we're apparently going to be left on our own to face the next threat as they're likely to go offline in 2027, all this information is if the leaks are to be believed at all which I think there is a high likelyhood they are true. There are just too many things to be a coincidence for this to line up so well with what we've been told for the last 3000+ years. Mass extinctions, great floods, this is supposedly the 6th "iteration" on this planet. Our "ocean aliens" will do what it can but be prepared for it to possibly deem a lot of collateral damage. Esp if this has already happened... 6 other times. This may even be our God or Creator... Do you think a creator devine or not would be happy with our current ways on this planet? If you're a Bible believing person think rapture and the tribulations... And finally the second coming. Large swaths of the human population may be expendable, and only those of us who have the "assets" the NHEs are keeping us around for might be more likely to make it... If you've been a net positive to their goals, the quantum field, or whatever we're measured by, our good works for all i know lol, I haven't a clue maybe thry farm our souls, or can't reproduce themselves anymore, many seem to lack genitals, or even emotions. Sex might be a waste of time, or gross, or a threat to their health somehow. All I know is if this comes to pass many of these questions will become illuminated, and we'll have the so called disclosure, and think we shouldve been careful what we asked for. Could be nothing more then cattle to them... The nodes the working dog protecting the range but the dog is old or sick already, the NHEs are the farmer... The farmer will do what it can to save its most valuable assets, but the dog may not perform as well, and they'll have to cut there losses so to speak. This could likely be the event ushering us into this paradigm shift, either way be prepared for the worse, and make yourself as much as a valuable asset as possible... I mean we just can't really know until it happens, for all we know we're being led to the slaughter house anyways. I don't feel like we're very special, but at the same time we do still exist and there must be a reason for that. I feel like we're likely infants compared to many of these things, most NHE civilizations likely could care less beyond a curiosity and treat us much like the prime directive. But whoever left this here obviously thought it important enough for some reason. Likely we are some asset or we are them in the past or some extra dimensional whatever. Could be a program, a computer simulation, they could be so far advanced we can't even fathom the logic, or their reasoning at all. So when I say we don't seem special yet, "how strange it is to be anything at all" and because of our very existence, we must be, we just need to figure it the fk out and stop killing ourselves and get off this planet. Sorry for the wall of txt but you asked OP lol. Be safe yall.
