Hahaha, I knew OpAphid was canon. Next they will "identify" Tachyon. I'm almost positive Tachyon is canon too.

If Opaphid is canon, Tachyon and Brother are too.

I=Investigate?

Deter?

For those who are just joining, I thought it would be helpful to post what we already know.

A- Analyze
P- Protect
H- Hinder
I- ?
D- ?

Up to this point, from past postings on OpAphid's YouTube profile, we have been given the following information:

The first step toward any solution? ANALYSIS. ANALYZE the data in front of you.

To PROTECT is our greatest purpose, above all others. The importance of PROTECTION is essential to understand before any further progress can be made.

Identifying the enemy allows us to HINDER their actions, which is an effective means of PROTECTION.

In Bree's video Survival Skills she says: "Back in the community, we used the saying "OpAphid." Its an acronym to guide our interactions with strangers, but I think I'll need a little more than that now."

Bree uses the word strangers and OpAphid uses enemy.

Since this whole forum is called "The I in APHID" and is about OpAphid in general, perhaps it stands for "interactive"

Initiate? Interrogate?

Making contact with the stranger/enemy?

Or, if it's an enemy, Intercept...?

Analyze, Protect, Hinder, Intercept, Destroy?

I-Interaction

The post above me with the quote from Bree kinda proves it.

"Back in the community, we used the saying "OpAphid." Its an acronym to guide our interactions with strangers, but I think I'll need a little more than that now."

Notice the usage of the word interact(ions).

Intercept is really good, but Bree did say "interact". I think that the reason for the difference in what Bree said (strangers) and OpAphid said (enemy) is because the order might have made them synonymous in Bree's mind, or at least tried to. Also, so as not to alarm Bree with the word "enemy"; might have made the attempt at brainwashing obvious and alarming to Bree.

This is a joke. About a month ago I asked Bree via PM if she ever heard of OpAphid. Her response was, "No, what is it?" This was when we were still tracking Ciw.

Thanks Cup. I'm glad that I am not the only one.
