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)

  1. Assess: Confirm DB level, banner effects, civilian density, suture windows.

  2. Assign: Circle designates Ops Chair and mission lead; define strike/suture cells.

  3. Anchor: Establish Gate Belt integrity and corridors; stage @KHATIM assets.

  4. Control: Cull commanders, pin boss windows, stretch troughs.

  5. Suture: Fire arrays at trough, verify dormancy by telemetry.

  6. 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.
