ARG doctrine // recovery contract

Enter. Recover. Decide. Withdraw.

Every contract starts with one paid objective and ends on a route that can no longer be trusted.

Contract

One paid objective per deployment. Site intelligence is provided as-is and priced accordingly.

Briefing confidence // partial
AM-102/05

Recover

Secure the contracted AM-1 material while the route remains readable. Carrying capacity is finite; judgment is not issued.

Yield rising // exposure low
RISK03/05

Choose

Richer ground is available past the objective. So is the reason the site was deferred.

Optional depth // signs increasing
CTC-404/05

Endure

Anomalous organisms observe a formation before committing against it. Do not be the vulnerable element.

Hostile attention // rising
EXT05/05

Withdraw

Extraction is contractual. Reaching it is not. The pad does not wait, and neither does the site.

What the route markers cost.

A body folded into a pipe alley alcove with a fuel-transfer schematic clutched against its chest — a route through the objective loop marked in grease pencil, with one junction circled and the words CORMORANT WAS RIGHT scratched beside it. The circled junction is where the bursts always start.
