TacNet begins as a brutal restraint device in Iron Gold, a wire net engineered to constrict around prisoners and slice into bare skin when used for torture. Across the series, it evolves from a simple interrogation tool into a symbol of the oppressive control exerted by the Society's remnants, highlighting the moral cost of warfare and the dehumanization of captives. Its presence underscores the tension between the Rising's ideals and the grim realities of maintaining power.
