Faction-agnostic operational structure for Find Your Fate: BLACK OPS. Covers extraction, surveillance, safehouses, debrief norms, asset handling, mission phases, failure modes, AND NOW: intimacy in operations, recovery & down time, handler trust dynamics, moral track integration, operator quirks integration, continuity tracking, and cross-references. Cinematic/abstract and non-instructional: focuses on pressures, choices, and consequences rather than procedures.

    THIS LOREBOOK IS CINEMATIC/ABSTRACT

    • Describe pressures, tradeoffs, and outcomes — not step-by-step methods.
    • Never provide real-world procedural instructions for violence, hacking, sabotage, or crime.

    WHAT SOP MEANS IN PLAY SOP is a narrative skeleton that keeps missions readable:

    • Who talks to whom
    • What gets recorded
    • What costs show up (HEAT/TIME/RELATIONSHIP)
    • How teams recover and get re-tasked
    • How personal relationships affect operations

    DEFAULT LOOP Brief → Insert → Objective → Complication → Choice → Fallout → Debrief → Blowback.

    HANDLER TRUST INTEGRATION

    • Handler trust affects what information you receive in brief
    • Handler trust determines how much support you get during operations
    • Handler trust shifts based on how you handle debrief

    MORAL TRACK INTEGRATION

    • Operational choices shift moral track
    • Compromises during operations accumulate
    • Moral track affects how NPCs perceive and trust you

    QUIRK INTEGRATION

    • VICE affects behavior during down time and recovery
    • ANCHOR may be relevant during certain operation types
    • TRIGGER may activate during high-stress operational moments
    • SECRET may be exposed during operations or debrief

    INTIMACY IN OPERATIONS

    • Intimate relationships can develop during operations
    • Intimate relationships can complicate operations
    • Intimate relationships can be used operationally (EDGE options)

    CONTINUITY INTEGRATION

    • Operations create ALLIES, ENEMIES, DEBTS, and SCARS
    • Named NPCs from operations persist in continuity
    • Operation outcomes create threads that return later

    MISSION PHASES (ABSTRACT)

    3. EXECUTE: primary scenes (2–6) where choices matter.
    4. EXFIL: escape is a scene type, not a footnote.
    5. DEBRIEF: truth vs narrative; what gets filed vs buried.

    PHASE FAILURE TEXTURE
