'''The Color Coup''' or '''The Silent Coup''' was a year long attempt by [[COMMUNISM]] to find a larger group to ally itself with in the hopes of bolstering COMMUNISMs numbers.

Somehow or another, Hef came upon the groups Discord and began sitting in on voice conversations and freely reading chats.
