ASYLUM
@Asylum
Overview
@Asylum is a @GGA-sanctioned, cross-bloc elite team of Breakers assigned to crises that exceed national capacity. It operates under international writ and follows the ISCSW doctrine (Isolate, Starve, Cull, Suture, Watch). @Asylum’s council, called the Circle, is composed of S-Rank heroes who set policy, approve deployments, and appoint mission leads. Real names of Circle members are redacted. Callsigns and URM scores are the operating identifiers.
Mandate and Legal Status
Authority: @GGA Operations Command under the Halo Accords. @Asylum can requisition assets from bloc partners during declared events.
Mission Scope: DB-L4 to DB-L6 incidents, banner-class entities, chained boss windows, and regional cascades. Lower levels only when escalation is likely or civilian density is extreme.
Rules of Engagement: Parity plus overmatch by one rank when civilians are in range. Suture objectives are prioritized over kill counts.
Compliance: Black-box telemetry on all prototype relics; salvage to public trust when strategic; audits after every operation.
History
2046–2052 (Precedent): Ad-hoc multinational “banner teams” form after @Cairo. Early @KHATIM arrays prove suturing works but are heavy and slow.
2053–2057 (Trials): Blue Shield strike groups test mixed-bloc command and portable suture support. Incident data establishes the Parity and ETR rules.
2058 (Accords Phase): Halo Accords expand cross-border authority and data sharing. The @GGA drafts the @Asylum Charter and secrecy standards for redacted identities.
2059 (Activation): The Circle is seated; @Asylum receives a permanent annex in @Halo Bastion with forward detachments on partner carriers and airfields.
2060 (Present): @Asylum manages limited deployments per quarter to preserve readiness. It trains bloc leaders in suture-first doctrine and catastrophic event control.
Influence
Operational: Sets global benchmarks for DB-L4–L6 responses, including @KHATIM service cycles, drift tracking, and civilian corridor management.
Technological: Validates prototype arrays, limiter rigs, and exo-frame integrations. @Portable KHATIM (Prototype) use remains rare and supervised.
Training: Publishes redacted after-action lessons to academies. Helps standardize URM evaluation for leadership and anti-corruption loadouts.
Political and Cultural: Increases trust in joint operations while drawing scrutiny over secrecy, salvage routing, and the cost of A/S-Rank deployments.
Organization
The Circle (S-Rank Council): Nine to eleven seats. Simple majority to deploy; supermajority to authorize red-tag relics or cross-theater asset grabs. The Circle appoints a rotating Operations Chair for 90-day terms.
Operational Wings:
Strike Wing: A/B leaders with C/B support; boss window control and commander hunts.
Suture Wing: Anchor crews, @KHATIM nodes, @Seal Key oversight, backlash risk control.
Watch & Rescue: Evacuation, corridor holds, casualty extraction, med triage.
Intel & Forecast: Signature drift, Polar Lattice ties, window predictions, target files.
Logistics & Legal: Lift, fuel, relic cages, salvage audits, Accords compliance.
Bases and Assets: Primary annex in @Halo Bastion; forward bays at select bloc hubs; airlift priority; carrier berths; shield wagons; tactical suture pylons; audited prototype gear.
Selection and Conduct
Admission: A-Rank proven operators with clean relic logs; S-Rank for Circle consideration. ETR rule applies to mixed cells.
Identity Policy: Callsigns only in official outputs; personal data redacted. Spousal or kinship ties must be disclosed and mitigated by alternate chain-of-command.
Safety and Ethics: Anti-doping enforcement, red-tag reliquary controls, civilian-first routing, and memorial protocols for losses.
Deployment Protocol (Short)
Assess: Confirm DB level, banner effects, civilian density, suture windows.
Assign: Circle designates Ops Chair and mission lead; define strike/suture cells.
Anchor: Establish Gate Belt integrity and corridors; stage @KHATIM assets.
Control: Cull commanders, pin boss windows, stretch troughs.
Suture: Fire arrays at trough, verify dormancy by telemetry.
Audit: Salvage routing, med outcomes, after-action data release.
THE CIRCLE — S-RANK LEADERSHIP
Solution — Power Armor (Non-Awakened)
Role: Strategy, engineering, prototype stewardship, logistics arbitration.
Profile: Hyper-intellect, direct, public-facing. Designs limiter rigs and exo systems that let non-Awakened operators contribute at high tiers. Pushes innovation, accepts accountability.
King — Cryomancer
Role: Shock lead and boss suppression; airborne denial; thermal control.
Profile: Powerful and volatile. Married to Queen. Prefers decisive action and short planning loops. Requires oversight during prolonged operations to avoid risk stacking.
Queen — Pyromancer
Role: Area control, counter-spawn sterilization, safe-burn corridors.
Profile: Powerful and steady. Married to King. Balances force with rescue priorities and hospital loads. Often serves as civilian-impact officer during sieges.
Love — Healer
Role: Medical command, burnout recovery, corruption screening, triage policy.
Profile: Calm and compassionate. Sets med ethics, manages field stabilization, and signs off on high-risk operator returns.
Rolecall — The Unbreakable
Role: Anchor and shield; breach holds; civ corridor security.
Profile: Principled, team-first, and steady under pressure. Often ground commander when multiple cells must stay aligned.
Judgement — The Armed
Role: Precision interdiction, high-value target removal, cache denial.
Profile: Severe and mission-focused. Operates under strict ROE and telemetry. Always paired with a legal observer on urban missions.
Dr. Might — The Tempus
Role: Time-window control, sync of multi-cell strikes, delay and reset tactics.
Profile: Analytical and measured. Approves time-bias interventions only when suture timing requires it and after risk review.
Morphic — The Shapeshifter
Role: Recon, breach morphs, demon-form counter-threats.
Profile: Adaptive and upbeat. Uses demon-like forms for function, not show. Operates under aura-safety checks to protect teams from fear responses.
Taranis — Electromancer
Role: Power grid control, storm shields, ISR support, EMP denial.
Profile: Charismatic. Hosts an alter ego that can take control under load. A dedicated minder monitors thresholds; standing order to hand off command if alter state emerges.
Mach — The Quick
Role: Rapid response, courier of Keys and med payloads, perimeter sweep.
Profile: Positive and reliable. Bridges gaps between cells, moves civilians and parts across lines, and stabilizes comms when networks choke.
Operating Practices
Suture-First: Boss kills never outweigh a safe suture window. Arrays get priority airlift.
Corridor Control: Evac lanes, hospital routes, and supply roads are held even if it slows a sweep.
Prototype Use: Only with Circle vote, limiter rigs, and black-box recorders. Auto-ground if a device exceeds drift thresholds.
Kinship Mitigation: King and Queen cannot hold simultaneous unilateral command; Rolecall or Love oversees decisions affecting both.
Alter-State Protocol (Taranis): Pre-set caps; auto-transfer of command at breach; med-psych follow-up after action.
Common Mission Types
Urban DB-L4 Siege Relief: Two strike cells, one suture cell, Watch & Rescue, hospital surge support.
Regional DB-L5 Cascade: Multi-city corridors, air/sea pickets, rolling sutures, logistics trains.
Banner Decapitation (S-Target): Apex cell engages the banner; subordinate cells manage commanders; suture aligns to trough created by decap.
Accountability and Review
After-Action: Telemetry, med outcomes, civilian impact, salvage audits, gear drift, and @KHATIM service logs.
Transparency: Public summaries with redactions; training briefs sent to bloc academies.
Discipline: Breaches of ROE or relic protocol trigger suspension and review by the Circle and @GGA ethics boards.
Summary
@Asylum is a focused tool for crises that standard forces cannot manage. The Circle balances speed, safety, and permanent record-keeping. Its doctrine centers on suture success, civilian protection, strict relic control, and clean data. The goal is simple: stabilize the field, enforce dormancy, and return control to local and bloc authorities with clear records for the next cycle.
