An online community of Internet security researchers and consultants that flourished for several years before atrophying to just a handful of participants by early 2007. In April 2007, the community swelled in numbers for a most unlikely reason: strange letters sent by Devon Conrad in the name of B.A. Saint-Feline seemed to point people there, much to the skepticism of the existing Sentries. Investigations in the summer of 2007 into a malware threat with cultist implications lead to the death, disappearance or institutionalization of most of those older members, leaving the Outpost in new and motivated hands.
Peter Severn and others left the Outpost in 2003 in a flurry of demands to remove their research contributions, the same time that The Council issued a mysterious Edict prohibiting online communications about certain topics. Many Sentries who put stock in B.A. Saint-Feline's dreams believe that the Sentries collectively are represented by the dream image of Providence, the Dog of Dreams, a belief shared by the Dreamers and Devon Conrad.
