monnettedragers

Monnettedragers are autonomous carriers designed to transport and stabilize monnets, compact data modules used to store encrypted information. They operate in environments where wireless transfer is restricted, serving as mobile custodians that move monnets through controlled spaces, secure them in transit, and perform basic verifications on delivery.

Design and etymology: The name combines monnet (the data unit) and drager (to carry). Physically, they are palm-sized bots with a segmented chassis, micro-grippers, and a turbine-like sensor array. A detachable payload interface permits rapid attachment of a monnet; they rely on ambient energy harvesting and a compact processor for routing.

Capabilities and operations: They feature obstacle avoidance, SLAM navigation, and basic cryptographic handling to keep monnets sealed. They may carry one or more monnets and coordinate with a central scheduler or peer units to optimize routes. Data transfer occurs in motion, with a secure handshake when delivery occurs.

History and usage: Monnettedragers arose in the 22nd century in response to restricted wireless data flows and fragile data transit. They are now used in data vaults, archives, and field logistics where secure, on-site handoffs are required. Governance focuses on encryption, auditing, and fail-safes.

Variants and governance: Generations differ in payload capacity and sensing features. Regulatory frameworks emphasize encryption standards, disposal of decommissioned units, and accountability for lost monnets. In some narratives, ethical questions surround autonomy and data integrity in their deployment.
