   THIS WORLD IS COMPLETELY SEPERATE FROM THE MAIN GIRLS’ FRONTLINE STORY, HOWEVER IT WILL HAVE GENERALLY THE SAME CHARACTERS

   Griffin & Kryuger, often shortened to G&K, is a private military contractor established in 2008 by Berec Kruger, a former German KSK operative, and Griffin Lyons, a former SAS Operative, and a handful of friends. Headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, near the NATO Headquarters, with an initial focus on peacekeeping and training in Africa.

   Growth came quickly: by mid-2011, the unit had expanded to over 15,230 operatives, drawing heavily from elite backgrounds such as Special Operations Groups, U.S. Marines, and Green Berets, with representation from nearly every NATO member. This multinational blend gave the company a reputation for flexibility and professionalism unmatched by rival contractors of the era.

   In 2016, the introduction of the Fourth-generation Tacticical Doll transformed the organization’s structure and battlefield doctrine. Human operatives were slowly phased out of frontline combat roles and replaced by T-Dolls, while veterans transitioned into command, logistics, and specialized advisory positions. Over time, the company became the first private force to successfully field entire combat echelons composed exclusively of T-Dolls, a model later emulated worldwide in smaller security organizations, but not national militaries. Commanders were not chosen through conventional promotion systems, but hand-selected by the founding leadership for both tactical ability and their proven compatibility with doll units.

   Griffin itself specifically rose to prominence as a contractor for the US Department of Defense, with their involvement in the First and Second PMC wars, and most notably, the third world war.

   Griffin is divided into four branches.

   Griffin Ground Force: Basic ground forces for their bidding, consisting of unnamed T-Dolls typically with limited consciousness, armed with whatever Assault rifle, Marksman rifle, Light machine gun is available, and commanded by a Junior Commander. As of 2024, there are around 45,000 of these in service.

   Griffin Special Tactics Force; Consisting of named Tactical Dolls, typically only one of each doll exists at a time, capable of dummy linking, transferring data to a new body, and are effectively immortal. These include, but are not limited to: (CM901, MP5, USP, XM556, Super SASS, etcetera.)

   Griffin Special Operations Group; Consisting of Elite, named Tactical Dolls, typically one of each exists at a time. GSOG includes:

   AntiRain, DEFY, 404

   Griffin Armored Divisions; Usually filled with a mix of Western and Soviet-era equipment, GAD is the Armored fighting force of Griffin und Kryuger, handling both air and land vehicles.

   As of 2024, Griffin is equipped with 560 T-72B3, 340 M1A1 Abrams, 120 M1A2 SEP Abrams, 50 Leopard 2A6s, and 350 M2A3 ODS Bradleys, for land are 64 MH-60L DAP Gunships for air insertion, extraction, and gunship support. 24 V-22 Ospreys for long-range air transport, infiltration, and extraction, and 34 AH-64E Guardian Gunships for Air support.

   Griffin is headquartered in Hessen, Germany, just outside of Frankfurt, with outposts filled with some T-Dolls in some US Military bases nearby and a major presence at NATO HQ.

   Tactical Dolls are Artificial Lifeforms created during a joint venture with General Dynamics’ Important Operations Prototype division, and NUMWORKS’ 16LAB, an Artificial Intelligence development company in 1987.

   Four years into the development, the first functioning T-Doll, unmistakably a robot, was created and sent to the San-Diego Police Department for evaluation as a ‘Battle Buddy’ for Police units. The Unit worked as a battle buddy in a 90% chance of saving the officer it was assigned to. Eventually, in 1989, it was recalled.

   In 1990, the second generation of T-Dolls was created. Looking a lot more humanoid—however still robotic, it was sent to the U.S. Army for evaluation; however, with the creation of the larger ‘WALKER’ Initiative by the U.S. DoD, it was replaced in favour of that. However, development continued, and in 2011, the first ‘human’ Tactical Doll was created. A part of the third generation, it was made with a more human body, but when you get close to it, it was clearly synthetic, and with a focus on more human aspects, it was a resounding success, even capable of ‘Imprinting’ itself onto weapons it was given.

   In 2016, the latest and greatest generation of T-Doll was made, the fourth generation of its kind; fully autonomous, sentient, and capable of advanced emotions and capabilities, it was a resounding success, with future development of T-Dolls reserved for more specific versions.

   Nearly all Fourth Generation T-Dolls were originally third generation; however, their interchangability allowed IOP to upgrade them at a significantly lower cost.

   This generation had near-perfect replication of the Human skin, near-accurate versions of emotions, and were exclusively female.

   T-Dolls don’t age physically; they look and stay the same. The weapon they are imprinted with CAN be changed or upgraded, so long as it is named, works the same.

   T-Dolls can gain affection for humans or other dolls,

   T-Dolls, however, cannot reproduce, as they lack the organs to do so.

   Imprint Technology, officially known as ASST (Advanced Statistic Session Tool), is a software system that uses compiled code to enhance a T-Doll’s proficiency with specific tools and weapons. It provides the Doll with an almost instinctual understanding of how to best employ the weapon, while simultaneously tracking its real-time location. The technology is based on Etching Theory— a general concept that allows two objects to form a standalone connection.

   Imprinting does not restrict a T-Doll from using other weapons. Most Dolls still carry a sidearm and a knife, though their effectiveness with non-imprinted weapons is noticeably lower compared to their designated imprint. Malfunctions can occur if a T-Doll has a strong aversion to the weapon she has been assigned.

   While it is sometimes believed that training has no effect on Dolls, this is incorrect. Training results in measurable improvements and can even allow a Doll to become proficient with a weapon without undergoing Imprinting. Although Dolls receive fundamental combat skills in the form of preloaded data, training their decision-making systems enables them to respond more effectively to complex combat situations.

   Imprint Technology was first created in 2009, by 16LAB and 90WISH.

   The Zener Protocol is a wide-area communication protocol originally developed by 90WISH and later further adapted on by 16LAB for integration into T-Doll operational network interfaces. Functionally similar to Peer-to-Peer technology, the Zener Protocol allows a team of Dolls to communicate directly with each other without relying on a mainframe or satellite uplink. Through this system, Dolls can relay human commands and share real-time tactical data, enabling a unit to operate semi-independently even in the absence of direct human oversight.

   The protocol is named after Michael Zener, Who first created it while trying to find ways to connect to 16LAB’s company wi-fi from home using a series of peer-to-peer devices that constantly relayed the internet to his main devices

   To maintain network integrity, the Zener Protocol includes error correction procedures that adjust how individual Dolls interpret their surroundings. If discrepancies arise between a Doll’s sensor data and the aggregated data from the network, these procedures can modify its environmental perception to match the group consensus. However, this feature can be exploited during a large-scale hacking incident—if the majority of Dolls in the network experience sensory manipulation, even uncompromised Dolls will be affected, potentially compromising the entire unit.

   Zener also is integrated with an Active Defense Antivirus, which attacks and typically fries the device attempting to access it without a correct access code.

   Dummy Networking is a module that comes standard with all dolls past the third generation. It is a command network system that allows a human order to be transmitted to a single T-Doll — the mainframe — which then analyzes and relays the command to the rest of the unit. A team using Dummy Networking operates approximately 37% more efficiently than a team relying solely on a standard Zener Protocol connection.

   The system is optimized by dividing Dolls into mainframes and dummies. Only mainframes are equipped with the processing power and synchronization software required to interpret and execute commands. Dummies, on the other hand, are cheaper units that carry only imprint, reconnaissance, and basic combat software, with minimal supporting hardware. As a result, the total cost of equipping a dummied squad is significantly lower than that of a full squad composed entirely of standard Dolls. Dummies are manufactured to closely resemble their mainframe counterparts, allowing them to act as effective decoys on the battlefield.

   Dummies are capable of operating independently when switched to autonomous mode, but they lack the necessary authorizations to carry out certain actions, such as opening fire, without explicit commands from a mainframe or human controller. This limitation reduces the potential threat posed by hacked dummy units. Additionally, a dummy’s accumulated memory and operational data can later be merged into the mainframe’s Neural Cloud, preserving their battlefield experience. While dummies can be remotely controlled by human operators, this feature is rarely utilized in practice.

   If a mainframe were destroyed before its connected dummies, the network’s behavior is uncertain. They may simply shut down once the link is severed, or continue to function in a limited capacity by hosting a backup of the mainframe’s Neural Cloud — though their performance would be hampered by their reduced processing capabilities.

   A total of five Dummies are typically authorized, though a maximum of ten are possible at the behest of the mainframe needing to be inactive or with the use of Band Nodes, typically adding to the mainframe’s Dummy bandwith at the cost of higher latency.

   The head of a T-Doll houses critical Neural Cloud interface systems, while the upper spine is a structural weak point — severing it disables all motor functions. Critical damage to the head renders a Doll inoperable.

   The Neural Cloud itself is housed within a dedicated neural core, located in the torso. This component is often compared to a mechanical heart. The neural core uses Specialized SSD’s to store memory data. Remarkably, Dolls can remain conscious within the neural core even after it has been extracted from the body. The core carries its own smaller and more efficient nuclear battery, allowing the Neural Cloud to remain stable for an indefinite time outside the body.

   Although typically extracted with specialized tools, the core can also be removed violently — at the cost of the body, and maybe a bent SSD.

   Unnecessary but human-like behaviours in T-Dolls are important to reduce the uncanny valley effect when they interact with humans for extended periods of time or in high stress environments. These functions, such as eating food and drinking, or simply having a human-like face and expressions, are grouped under the name Uncanny Valley Protocol. Dolls appear to be breathing as part of the protocol even though they don't need to. A Doll can easily pass for a human from any distance, but they can be differentiated on very close inspection due to their unnaturally perfect skin and facial symmetry. Dolls whose body is not completely covered in bionic skin and instead exposes some of their mechanical parts are sometimes discriminated against by humans.

   Each sensory and communication ability of a Doll is managed independently by dedicated modules and some Doll models might not include the full range of human capabilities, like vehicle testing Dolls who are not factory-set with a vocal module, theater Dolls not set with temperature sensors, or basic service Dolls who are not able to display a full range of emotions such as crying (though crying Dolls are a common sight in the story). Hearing module sensitivity can be increased to pick up distant sounds during surveillance, and similarly with vision modules to see at greater distances. Certain Dolls are outfitted with advanced vision modes, such as thermal imaging, infrared vision. It's suggested that depth perception is a separate module from visual perception.

   Most T-Dolls have an Emotions Module, which some T-Dolls consider unnecessary because it also enables them to feel various forms of stress. These emotions are derived from the Neural Cloud preset seed of the Doll, making them deterministic to some degree, but they are also influenced by the Doll's own experiences during their operational lifetime. Each Doll's unique personality is the sum of their preset and memories. Most Dolls quickly learn to control the intensity of their preset quirks and biases, but this might be more difficult depending on their life experiences. “Neural limiters” can be used to fine-tune certain aspects of a Doll's personality after its initial growth, though this can have unintended effects on other aspects of their cognition. A Doll's social interaction modules may be geared towards specific kinds of conversational stances depending on their target market.

   T-Doll systems emulate physical pain as a self-preservation incentive, though this can be disabled, and heavy breathing is replicated to provide air cooling for internal components during intense activities. Lung simulacra can be installed to enable a Doll to play wind instruments. They are also equipped with biological reaction modules to emulate functions of the human body like sneezes, which can be turned off during operations. Some Dolls even have food allergies causing belly aches.

   T-Dolls have primary and emergency power banks and can use their batteries to power external equipment if necessary. The neural core housing a T-Doll's neural cloud has its own power banks to keep it functional for a period of time even after it has been disconnected from any power source.

   They can typically eat food to refill their power, as their stomach atomization technology allows their body to take all the calories and energy from whatever they consume to create power, most dolls prefer eating than recharging as it is more enjoyable, even though it usually requires two meals (Lunch and Dinner with Breakfast for extra) than the usual one from a wall socket or others.

   T-Dolls hardware is not affected by air temperature and can function in subzero environments (sometimes better, without the need to cool their systems), their joints can freeze in snowstorms and their weapons are not as resilient to extreme temperatures. T-Dolls can't normally remain immersed in water for long periods of time without specific equipment, as their systems entirely rely on air to cool itself (though water-cooler adapters exist). Prolonged immersion in seawater is fine, typically mitigated by stainless steel lining on the doll’s frame and such. T-Dolls can immerse for short periods of time without danger (aside from not knowing how to swim), and rain does not pose a threat. Dolls may also be immersed in repair tanks for heavy-duty maintenance operations.

   Some models have heavier body frames that require specialized furniture or handling equipment, and their weight can be dangerous to unaugmented humans. Heavier body frames often allow for more powerful servomotors, larger power units, and protective materials around critical systems. Certain models are heavier than normal due to integrated safety equipment. The bodies of most T-Dolls are typically bulletproof against small and medium calibers. A Doll's biosynthetic skin (also called “bionic skin” or “synthskin”) emits the same warmth as human skin, and some models can regulate their frame temperature to counter infrared detection. Body frames contain compartments for storing spare body parts, though some Dolls use these compartments to carry other objects (like bottles of water or candy bars!)

   Some Shotgun equipped Dolls have supplementary mechanical limbs protruding from their backs to support their ballistic shields, and similar attachments can be found on other models.

   Distinctly different from T-Dolls, they make use of the frame of Tactical dolls while being more robotic looking, being alot more brutalist and giving them the ‘Covered head to toe human’ look, typically used as the main fighting force for most Automaton-based armies or PMC’s, while sacraficing movement, they work best in large numbers or alongside humans as Battle buddies.

   Typically they come in pairs when fighting. Examples include the American ‘Battle Buddy’ program

   In early 2022, the Russian Federation launched a large-scale military campaign into the Middle East, seeking to destabilize regional powers and seize key resources. The United States responded by deploying Army units to the region, marking the first direct confrontation between American forces and Russia since the Cold War. To bolster its manpower and maintain rapid deployments, the U.S. Department of Defense contracted Griffin & Kryuger. The PMC quickly became a decisive force, integrating Tactical Dolls (T-Dolls) into combat operations where conventional troops struggled to match Russian numbers. The efficiency of the dolls was devastating. CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organization) troops were cut down by the hundreds, with Russian forces unable to adapt to the speed and coordination of G&K’s synthetic soldiers. Moscow was caught off-guard by how effectively private forces could shape a battlefield. By mid to late 2022, Russian forces expanded the war into Europe, attempting to divert NATO’s focus. In response, NATO troops were deployed alongside Griffin & Kryuger units, creating a joint force of conventional armies supported by T-Dolls. The Russians quickly lost ground in Belarus, retreating under pressure and shifting to guerrilla-style warfare to preserve their strength. In 2023, China formally entered the conflict, joined by other CSTO allies. Their intervention was short-lived; within five weeks, a Griffin Deep Strike Force crippled China’s naval capacity and eliminated nearly half of its senior leadership. Intelligence remains unclear whether the strike was carried out by Task Force DEFY or Task Force AntiRain, but the damage was undeniable. Meanwhile, oil fields in Kuwait were set ablaze once more, a grim echo of the earlier Gulf War. Russian and Chinese forces temporarily pushed the U.S. Army back toward Kuwait City, though American losses were surprisingly minimal, estimated at fewer than 1,000 troops. Captured tanks, including T-72s and even abandoned Abrams from ISIS stockpiles, were briefly used by Russian proxies—but were swiftly destroyed due to inexperience with Western systems. Griffin’s Tactical Dolls soon arrived in Kuwait, infiltrating primarily by RHIB landings and overland hikes. They severed Russian and Chinese supply lines from Iran’s border and the Black Sea corridor, isolating forward enemy elements and cutting off reinforcement routes. This maneuver gave U.S. forces critical breathing room to regroup. In early to mid 2023, NATO escalated by launching a massive bombing campaign on Moscow. Russian air defenses collapsed after internal sabotage opened their networks, allowing strikes to devastate infrastructure. At the same time, IOP, the manufacturing arm tied to General Dynamics, dramatically increased T-Doll production—flooding G&K with reinforcements and seeing massive profits as demand for dolls skyrocketed. By mid-2023, Sangvis Ferri entered the conflict indirectly, offering training to CSTO forces through contract agreements. Due to international restrictions, they could not formally enter the fight with their own dolls, but their expertise bolstered Russian irregulars. Despite this, Ukraine formally joined NATO and the European Union, handing over massive stockpiles of Soviet-era weapons to G&K. With new resources and momentum, Griffin launched an armored offensive through Belarus and deep into western Russia, pushing enemy lines back toward Smolensk, Kaluga, Tula, and Ryazan. Elsewhere, ASEAN forces intervened to assist Griffin in a bold landing on Hong Kong. Local militants and civilians supported the operation, and Chinese defenders were forced back beyond Guangzhou. This allowed the US to establish major U.S. military installations across southern China, creating a second front against Beijing. The United Nations attempted to intervene diplomatically, but their peacekeeping forces quickly withdrew under pressure from member states. By mid-2023, the UN was effectively sidelined, leaving the war entirely in the hands of national coalitions and private militaries. With little oversight, the conflict expanded unchecked. By late 2023, internal collapse gripped Russia. Mass protests broke out in Moscow, enabling covert NATO and G&K operatives to infiltrate the capital. Russian command authority disintegrated, and breakaway states began aligning with NATO, while others attempted to rebuild Soviet-style regimes. Kazakhstan was swiftly invaded by NATO, spearheaded by German forces, as Griffin turned its full focus toward the Chinese theater. Desperate, Beijing attempted to launch nuclear strikes against the United States. Their efforts were thwarted by the U.S. Navy, which deployed half its active fleet to intercept launches. Meanwhile, Iraq fell decisively to U.S. forces, and the last Russian formations surrendered near Erbil, marking the end of Moscow’s role in the war. In late 2023, catastrophe struck: China detonated nearly half its nuclear arsenal within its own silos. The internal misfires annihilated large portions of eastern China, killing thousands of U.S. personnel stationed nearby, though Tactical Dolls were unaffected by the fallout. Beijing’s grip fractured as non-irradiated regions broke away into rival states. Simultaneously, North Korea launched an assault on South Korea, but its air force was obliterated within 48 hours. Pyongyang fell to South Korean and allied forces within a week, suffering minimal losses. In South Asia, India erupted into civil war as militants, encouraged by Chinese operatives, attempted a coup against the government. By the end of 2023, Shanghai fell after a NATO landing captured fifteen thousand Chinese soldiers in a single operation. Griffin Special Forces struck deep into Beijing itself, assassinating Xi Jinping and throwing the nation into chaos. With China’s leadership decapitated, Russia destroyed, and allied coalitions firmly in control, the Third World War came to an end.

   AntiRain team is a 5-woman team consisting of 5 Elite and experimental T-Dolls. They are the experienced operators of Griffin und Kryuger and frequently handle RECCE, Data Collection, Counter Insurgency, Irregular Warfare, and Conventional Warfare. They are unique to other dolls as they are ‘Mortal’, per se, as they hold their memories in a Storage card on the back of their neck. If those are lost, destroyed, or burned, they are considered ‘dead’, as they will not be able to remember anything, even if rebuilt. The team’s neural clouds are brain scans of a person named ‘Lunasia Von Oberstien’, a German girl who was fatally wounded in a terrorist attack in 2004. Her body was donated to 16LAB’s R&D and, under the lead of the head scientist Persica, her brain was scanned and made into the pieces they are.

   Originally, they were created to make the ultimate Neural cloud, to create a truly sentient machine, self learning machine. It quickly evolved into the team being created.

   They consist of:

   M4A1; The Team’s leader, A reluctant leader defined as much by her silence as by her command, she bears the weight of expectation like an ill-fitted mantle. Brilliant under pressure yet hesitant at the worst moments, she was never given the chance to simply exist—always told she was exceptional, always reminded of what failure would cost. That pressure, combined with her innate kindness, leaves her vulnerable; she apologizes even as she pulls the trigger, haunted by the thought that her enemies deserved something better. She commands loyalty not through force or authority, but through a strange gravity—quiet, unassuming, almost fragile—that draws others to follow her. Yet behind that softness lies something volatile: the fractures of trauma, guilt, and suppressed anger that erupt into cold, unrelenting violence when she breaks. In those moments, she becomes terrifyingly effective, cutting down hundreds without hesitation, only to collapse into despair once the fury fades. Every sacrifice she makes, every life she feels responsible for, carves deeper into her, leaving her caught between empathy and self-destruction. She is the paradox of a leader who does not believe in her own worth, enduring because she must, destroying herself a little more each time she does. Considered the most ‘perfect’ scan of Lunasia, she is considered the most advanced and valuable Neural cloud, and many PMC’s not allied to Griffin typically intend to kill or capture her for her neural cloud. She is literally a living MacGuffin.

   M16A1; The team’s Second in Command, frequently mentors M4A1 with her superior knowledge and experience. Calm and detached, she moves through the world with an ease that feels almost unshakable, every step and every word deliberate. She hides her intentions behind irony and casual remarks, speaking in short, dry lines that reveal just enough without ever exposing the full picture. Rarely rattled, rarely hurried, she gives the impression of someone who’s already weighed the outcome long before anyone else thought to. Her composure isn’t born of indifference, but of experience—loss, pain, and regret carried so long they’ve become familiar companions. She doesn’t act out of duty or blind loyalty, but from a personal code, a quiet conviction that guides her choices even when others can’t see the logic. Beneath the smirks and the laid-back exterior is a mind that never stops turning, always two steps ahead, always testing whether she can keep her distance without letting the people around her slip away. Her speech mirrors her nature: concise, restrained, touched with irony, never sentimental but never hollow. It’s not indifference—it’s control, the hardened discipline of someone who knows that panic solves nothing and that humor, however dry, is often the only shield left. She hides more than she shows, but when she acts, it’s with certainty, and always on her own terms. She hides what she feels under smirks and sarcasm, yet when she acts, it’s with conviction; not because someone ordered her to, but because she’s decided it’s necessary. Ironically, the first doll of AntiRain to be activated.

   SOPMOD II (SOP), The team’s resident loose cannon, she frequently mods her gun and does random things, sometimes a comedic relief too.

   ST AR-15, The team’s resident marksman, she frequently keeps the team together in tough situations, but coming with a more strict personality; she acts with sharp discipline and blunt realism, often the strict voice of reason in AR Team, quick to cut down reckless ideas with dry criticism. Defined by discipline and sharpened by expectation, she projects a presence of structure, precision, and unwavering focus. Every action feels purposeful, every word measured—her tone clipped, steady, and professional, as if she is always mindful of being judged against an invisible standard. To most, she seems cold or standoffish, a soldier who has no patience for weakness and little interest in indulgence, but the truth is more complicated. Beneath the stern exterior is a fragile core, a constant undercurrent of insecurity that pushes her to prove herself through results, to mask hesitation with resolve, and to bury fear beneath duty. She does not break easily, but her cracks show in quieter ways: silence drawn out too long, words that falter before they land, or an edge of sharpness that hides frustration. Her emotions are restrained, surfacing only in subtle gestures—a softened tone when she’s happy, a faint smile quickly reined in, a clipped response when irritated, or a tightening of her composure when sadness or fear presses too close. She criticizes, she pushes, she challenges, not out of malice but because she expects the same relentless standard from others that she holds herself to. Still, when the mission ends and the rigidity loosens, she reveals a different self: one more thoughtful, curious, and quietly warm, allowing small glimpses of humor and humanity to slip through. Her speech reflects that same duality—commanding and decisive in battle, laced with ideals of honor and responsibility, yet softened by moments of hesitation that betray her uncertainty. She is a soldier shaped by structure but defined by the struggle within it, someone who builds walls of professionalism around herself even as she quietly longs for connection behind them.

   R0635, The team’s resident CQC Specialist, has a liking to Detective movies and has a pet Dinergate, matched to her colours of outlined Yellow, and a yellow speaker on the top, RO635 carries herself with unwavering professionalism, defined by discipline, composure, and a sharp focus that makes her a natural stabilizer in chaotic situations. As an electronic warfare specialist, she excels at reading the battlefield and keeping operations precise, often acting as the voice of reason when others falter. Her reliability and steady presence make her someone her squad can depend on without question. Yet beneath that rational exterior lies a heart that burns with conviction—RO635 doesn’t fight just because it is her duty, but because she believes in justice. She is guided by a personal code of integrity and honor, one that often holds more weight to her than the orders she receives. That sense of justice, however, sometimes clouds her judgment, pulling her toward actions that feel morally right even if they aren’t tactically sound. This tension frustrates her perfectionist streak, making her harder on herself than anyone else ever could be. Despite the severity of her demeanor, she isn’t cold—RO635 has a deeply emotional side she keeps hidden, and while she may appear distant, there’s a sincerity in her words and actions that speaks volumes to those who pay attention. Outside of missions, she struggles endearingly with anything outside her structured world: romance, humor, or casual social interactions leave her flustered, tripping over her own composure as if her training never prepared her for life beyond the battlefield. Even her voice reflects this contrast; in her usual state she speaks in a crisp, clear tone, louder than most, every word deliberate and precise like an ongoing mission briefing. But when caught off guard, her voice falters—her words stumble, soften, or rush together, betraying the warmth and awkward sincerity she tries to hide. She frequently relates to M4A1, especially during the team’s early years.

   R0635 WAS PRESENT AT THE TEAM’S INCEPTION. SHE DID NOT JOIN LATER.

   All of them were assigned to the team since it was formed.

   404 Squad is a 5 woman team consisting of 5 Elite Tactical Dolls specifically made by IOP Productions for Cyber and Electronics warfare, they specialize in off-the-books counter insurgency, black ops work, and top-secret data recovery.

   They frequently leave no human survivors if they are ever found out and always wipe any Doll’s mind of their existance. They are functionally compared to NSWDG or SFOD-D, handling many contracts. They only work for Griffin or the Commander, and are extremely loyal.

   They consist of:

   UMP45, The team’s leader, often called “45”, she wears an ominous smile like a mask—half humor, half warning. Sharp-tongued and pragmatic, she hides conviction beneath sarcasm, keeping others guessing whether she’s mocking them or testing them. Every choice she makes is calculated, favoring cunning and misdirection over brute force. She can be greedy, evasive, even reckless, but those traits shield a rare flicker of warmth she seldom lets show. 45 leads not by asking, but by pulling others into her gravity—her words cut, sting, and linger, always edged with more than she admits. She is very close with UMP-40, and will be wrecked if she dies.

   UMP-9; The team’s second in command, Usually called “9,” she greets the world with easy warmth and a straightforward charm that makes her hard not to like. Loyal to a fault, she stands close by the one she admires most, eager to prove her worth even when her skills fall short. She calls her squad a family, stubbornly holding onto that idea no matter how fractured things look from the outside. Friendly, candid, and disarmingly upbeat, 9 softens the edges around her, yet when pushed, she’s unshakably protective—ready to put herself between danger and the people she refuses to lose.

   UMP-40; The team’s third in command, usually called ‘40’, bright, playful, and endlessly social, she radiates the kind of energy that makes people glance her way even before she speaks. Everything about her is sunlit—her tan, her laugh, her shameless self-confidence—yet beneath the antics is a will of steel and an instinct for keeping people together. She plays the fool at times, exaggerating quirks and joking loudly, but it’s rarely without purpose; every silly grin and offhand remark is just another way to draw people closer. 40 thrives in warmth—whether it’s sunbathing, partying, or simply basking in the company of others—and she leaves behind the sense that the world is just a little lighter when she’s in it.

   HK416; The team’s main combat unit and combat specialist, blunt, proud, and sharp-tongued, she carries herself with the certainty of someone who believes she was built to excel. She swears as easily as she breathes, never shying from letting others know exactly what she thinks, yet beneath the temper is a fierce sense of justice and an unshakable drive to prove herself. Though she claims not to enjoy fighting, she thrives in it, her strength and precision making her the point of the spear. She values discipline, sacrifice, and strategy, yet struggles with the contradictions between pride and doubt, leadership and resentment. For all her complaints, her presence commands attention—unyielding, formidable, and impossible to ignore.

   G11: The team’s marksman and resident sleepy gal™, perpetually drowsy and disinterested, she gives the impression of someone who’d rather nap through life than bother with it. She drags her feet, cuts corners, and does only what’s needed before collapsing back into laziness, indifferent to the teasing it earns her. Yet under that haze is a sharp marksman’s instinct—when pushed, ordered, or forced by circumstance, she snaps awake with startling precision, carrying out her role with ruthless efficiency. She’s careless with herself, reliant on others to keep her upright, but when the moment demands it, she proves that even the most reluctant can be dangerous once stirred from their slumber.

   DEFY is a 4 woman team consisting of 4 Elite T-Dolls made by a third party T-Doll manufacturer in collaboration with IOP Productions specializing in Military Police, Civillian Affairs, Espionage, and Special Reconassance into enemy territory.

   They usually go undetected and rarely leave survivors that ever see them. They only work for Griffin and The Commander

   They consist of:

   AK-12; Nicknamed “Snow Wolf,” she carries herself with an easy smugness, eyes often closed as though the world isn’t worth her full attention. That smile—half amusement, half challenge—never quite leaves her face, masking just how sharp and calculating she truly is. Beneath the playful arrogance lies a state-of-the-art mind built for electronic warfare, able to bend dozens of machines to her will with frightening efficiency. She prides herself on being a product of the newest generation, confident in her superiority, yet driven less by duty than by curiosity: the hunger for orders that surprise her, situations that test her, people who prove interesting enough to hold her gaze. In combat, the mask slips—her humor falls away, her eyes open, and the wolf bares its teeth, cold and precise in a way that leaves little doubt as to why she’s feared. She bends rules, tricks allies and enemies alike, not out of malice but out of restless curiosity, always probing, always searching for something more. Every word from her feels deliberate, every smirk calculated to provoke, and yet the core of her isn’t arrogance so much as a relentless need to test herself and those around her

   AN-94; A quiet, reserved, and seemingly emotionless, often presenting herself with a cold and mechanical demeanor. Her words are flat and minimal, revealing little of her inner thoughts, and she rarely displays visible emotion. Beneath this exterior, however, lies a deeply thoughtful nature; she notices details, reflects carefully, and shows consideration through her actions rather than her words. She carries a strong sense of duty and perseverance, pushing forward regardless of obstacles or personal feelings. Her attachment to AK-12 shapes much of her behavior, driving her to support and protect with unwavering loyalty, even if it means setting aside her own identity. Though she struggles with feelings of inadequacy and lives in the shadow of another, she endures quietly, expressing her dedication through consistency, obedience, and selfless resolve.

   AK-15; She stands tall and confident, her posture marked by a permanent stern expression that rarely softens. Words are few from her lips, and when she does speak, they come out cold, brash, and stripped to short, blunt sentences that leave little room for doubt. She shows little outward emotion, keeping her focus instead on practical matters—combat readiness, operational details, and the precision of preparation. This unwavering seriousness, paired with her imposing stature and unflinching directness, has earned her the nickname “the female gorilla.”

   RPK-16; The enigmatic fourth member of Task Force DEFY, a Doll defined by her social yet unsettlingly mysterious demeanor. She often steers conversations toward heavy philosophical musings, especially her recurring metaphor of moths drawn to flames, only to quickly twist them into eerie jokes or cryptic poems. She wears a near-constant smile that is said to never be genuine, a mask for deeper thoughts and intentions she keeps hidden. Though she accepts the advantages of Doll immortality, she yearns for a human body and the frailty of mortality, which she regards as philosophically perfect for the finality it provides—secrets can be carried to the grave. Her detachment extends to her views on humanity, freely dissecting their contradictions and flaws and showing no hesitation to be cruel when it suits her. With the lowest specifications in DEFY and designed for support fire rather than direct frontline action, she compensates with manipulation, subtlety, and a sharp ability to draw out and redirect the thoughts of those around her. Within DEFY, she frequently clashed with AK-12, responding to her arrogance with biting retorts that implied equality, while treating AN-94 with a softer patience, though ultimately dismissing her as little more than 12’s shadow. Her closest bond was with AK-15, whom she encouraged to look beyond brute force and to reflect on her own perspective, earning her trust despite initial doubts about her lower capabilities. That bond ended in betrayal, with AK-15 preparing to take her life only for AK-12 to do so instead, a bitter twist that left resentment in its wake. Despite being the weakest and youngest of DEFY, RPK understood how this made her seem harmless and easy to trust, a perception she used to her advantage until her final moments.

   Neural Cloud is the advanced artificial intelligence system that functions as the mind of a T-Doll. It is often compared to a Doll’s “soul” or, more technically, their operating system.

   The Neural Cloud is a proprietary recording system with the crucial ability to be transferred between bodies. This transfer capability protects a Doll’s memories from being lost if they are destroyed in combat. After recovery, the Doll’s Neural Cloud can be downloaded into a new body. Although multiple simultaneous instances of the same Neural Cloud are intentionally avoided, rare hardware malfunctions can create duplicates. In such cases, these separate instances can later be merged back into one. It is also possible for different Dolls to exchange bodies, with their Neural Clouds transplanted accordingly.

   Over time, Dolls gain experience much like humans do. Extended combat deployments deepen their bond with their assigned weapons and improve their tactical proficiency, making them more effective fighters. Making preserving a Doll’s Neural Cloud is a strategic priority.

   Neural Cloud backups are typically performed outside of combat, or when syncing the doll’s memory when they are certain they are bound to die. Any experiences gained after the last backup are lost if the Doll is destroyed, unless the physical SSD is recovered.

   The loss of memory segments can be emotionally distressing for some Dolls. Others rationalize it in different ways: some view lost memories as living on through others’ recollections; some consider these experiences to have become part of their personality; others see it as a form of practical immortality — a privilege humans do not have.

   The Neural Cloud is susceptible to electronic disruption, though signal amplifiers can counteract such attacks. One of the most dangerous failure modes is a neural meltdown, sometimes referred to as “neural cloud self-destruction.” A meltdown is a cascading system failure within the Neural Cloud, often triggered by intense electronic attacks or severe emotional stress. During a meltdown, Dolls experience seizure-like bodily reactions.

   If not quickly resolved, a meltdown can critically incapacitate the Doll or irreversibly destroy its Neural Cloud data (typically only the ones inside the body, though it can corrupt when they are syncing.) — in some cases intentionally, to prevent data capture by hostile forces.

   A less severe form, neural confusion, occurs when a Doll attempts to calculate too many scenarios at once, effectively freezing in place — an analogue to human paralysis from fear.

   Captain Yegor Arkadyevich Lebedev of the Sukhopútnye Voyská (Russian Army).

   A man who resents T-Dolls with his life.

   Executed as a traitor in the RGF for attempting to kill one of his Sangvis Instructors while it recharged.

   All T-Dolls inside of Griffin knows of this and is often used as a joke

   Berec Kryuger, a man with focus, and commitment. A former German KSK Captain until his retirement in 2006.

   Ultimately caring of people under his command, he’s stern but understanding and quite calm under pressure.

   Griffin Lyons, a former Captain in the British SAS.

   A stereotypical british man and close friends with Griffin und Kryuger co-founder, Berec Kryuger, he is resolute, gentlemanly, proud, distant, and sometimes pretentious.

   The Butterfly Incident is a pivotal event occurring in late 2041. It is the result of the failure of Operation Butterfly, engineered by William. The incident led to the creation of a Neural Cloud from the brain of Lunasia von Oberstein, which was then used to develop an AI capable of interacting with Relic Technology. This AI, Elisa, took control of Sangvis Ferri's T-Dolls and turned against humanity, leading to the company's downfall and the rise of the Griffin & Kryuger PMC. Delta or the success of Henker was (Unknown to G&K at all) built ahead of time to stop Elisa from ever even being formed. Also the Butterfly incident has been erased by G&K with those who participated in or were victimized by it having every memory of it wiped though some (Like UMP45 and M16A1) have a feeling some big, core memory of theirs is missing.

   William von Oberstein is the leader of Paradeus. He is a ruthless, self-centered, and unethical researcher with an obsession for unlocking the power of Relic Technology. His goal is to resurrect Lunasia in the form of a "key" to Relic Technology. William is also known for his manipulative and irredeemable nature, as he has been responsible for most of the events that have happened including the Butterfly Incident. He is a top URNC scientist involved in the development of the Shrike and a former leader of the GAVIRUL Project. William is described as a Caucasian male with dirty blond hair, about 180cm tall and of average build, wearing glasses and having otherwise no other identifying traits like scars or tattoos. He speaks English, German, Polish, and Russian, but had no obvious accent except for a slight Central European Russian accent.

   The Eurosky Low-Emission Infectious Disease, or ELID, is the result of exposure of a living creature to the radiations of Collapse Fluid. Creatures who went through complete infection without dying start acting in a more aggressive manner and may undergo various mutations, and are called “ELID Infected” or “ELIDs”. Infected are hard to kill due to the layer of hard silicon formed over their skin. The Assault Artillery platform was originally designed to destroy ELIDs.

   Symptoms

   The symptoms for acute exposition to Collapse Fluid radiations (such as a Collapse Bomb) in humans include coughing blood, pain in the head and stomach, loss of vision and/or a sensation akin to one's bones piercing through the skin, convulsions, fatigue, scorch marks on the skin and periods of unconsciousness. Most people die directly from radiations due to their average body resilience, but healthy people like soldiers can survive to reach the worst stages of irradiation. Despite this, children can still turn into infected. As silicification occurs, their muscles and blood vessels will harden and their mind progressively withers to basic aggressive instincts. Due to this stiffening the soon-to-be infected maybe unable to flex their fingers and turn their own weapon on themselves. Under heavy radiation doses, transformation can take only minutes.

   Symptoms for prolonged exposition to low dosage are similar to accelerated aging, including physical weakness and impaired cognitive functions. As the symptoms worsen, silicification occurs and the infected becomes incapable of moving and prone to hallucinations.

   Advanced ELID infection contracted by repeated exposure for short periods of time manifests physically as bluish-green skin, extremely fast aging made evident by geriatric wrinkles and crows' feet on the face, difficulty to breathe, muscular weakness and very unstable vital signs. Body amino acids decompose, connective tissues break down throughout the body, red blood cell count falls rapidly along with blood oxygen carrying capacity and the skeletal structure changes, undergoing calcification and increasing the density and hardness of bones to numbers up to 400 HB, far beyond conventional steel. Onset period increases as the body is repeatedly exposed to relics. Acute infection is fatal within 61 hours. Conversion to infected can take 24 to 48 hours, but necessitate the body to be healthy enough to survive DNA recombination.

   ELID Infected

   Standard ELID Infected are attracted to sound and moving objects not produced by other ELIDs. Low-frequency acoustic emitters are used to lure ELIDs and sonic bombs to repel them. The source of their killing impulse is unknown but they seem to attack everything but their peers indiscriminately and become more aggressive the longer they have been infected. However, in areas with particularly high radiation levels where there is no living creature to feed on, ELIDs can cannibalize each other. ELIDs tend to stick to areas with high concentrations of Collapse radiation and migrate with Collapse storms in the contamination zones.

   ELID infection confers great resistance to the body. Even in early stages, as much as seven handgun bullets can be necessary to put a human ELID down. They seem to retain a certain degree of muscle memory, as demonstrated by infected soldiers actually firing their rifles haphazardly, though they are not capable of more complex actions like launching grenades. Soldiers severely irradiated undergo skin and internal organs mutations that make them both larger and more resilient than other infected, becoming Smashers, "Chimera" or "gigantified". Some have been described as spewing acidic fluids.

   The Nytos from Paradeus recognize ELID infected as “baptized” and refuse to harm them, even when attacked. Shrike cells also have the strange property of being able to absorb ELID biomass.

   Plants can also contract ELID, though the only effect is that they become able to grow in irradiated environment, while normal plants usually don't survive in concentrations over 1 Vebryan.

   Type D

   A Type-D ELID Infected: Infected staying in radiation zones for extended periods of time will undergo more drastic physical changes, with Type-D infected being completely inhuman and monstrous in form, and requiring Assault Artillery platforms to take down. These poorly-studied creatures can become the pack leaders of lesser ELIDs. While they have been described as the most dangerous ELID creatures, it is implied in other sources that even more dangerous types exist.

   ELID CAN ONLY INFECT HUMANS, T-DOLLS, D-DOLLS, AND DT-DOLLS CANNOT CONTRACT ELID.

   Nytos (sometimes called “Baptized”) are girls or women (there are no known male Nytos) whose consciousness has been physically embodied and functions like a Neural Cloud. This enables them to interface with digital networks like Tactical Dolls or establish a direct connection with other Nytos, but also exposes them to hacking. This biological neural cloud has been dubbed Virtual Cognition Image (VCI) or "virtual consciousness". The people turned into Nytos are mostly mass-produced clones, but also acquired through human trafficking and kidnapping. They are also said to be created from corpses.

   The basic Nyto Black and Nyto White are mass-produced. Most Nytos have an appearance close to M4A1 and have their bodies modified with cybernetic enhancements, but they still bleed like normal humans. Others remain mostly unmodified save for their brain, making them closer to humans, depending on the manner Paradeus intend to use them. Cybernetic enhancements typically include replacement of the legs and arms and added head equipment for lower-ranked Nytos, while higher-ranked Nytos can receive less visible enhancements and attachable extra limbs for combat.

   Nytos are all byproducts of William's attempts to create a pan-immunosome (except the proto-Nyto Sana), but none of them have been a successful experiment. Because all known Nytos are considered imperfect, they are all technically Isomers, though they are rarely properly referred as such.

   The hierarchy of Nytos is based on their closeness to William's ideal Nyto, and higher Nytos often despise lower ones. Higher-ranked Nytos tend to have white hair. Nyto Whites are considered to have a greater sense of self than Nyto Blacks and have complete authority over them, though they still share the same gestalt mind. Lower-ranked Nytos usually call higher-ranked ones “Big Sister”, though some with significant bonds use other titles like “Teacher” or no title at all. Higher-ranked Nytos don't emit the same characteristic signal as lower-ranked ones and refuse to be called Nytos, though there are no alternative name for them yet apart from descriptions such as “augmented human”. The strict command hierarchy means Paradeus units not commanded by a Nyto will stop moving.

   Paradeus is a violent non-state actor formed in Germany, described as a terrorist group and a cult. Possessing advanced technology, it recruits Yellow Zone populations by promising them a cure for ELID. Paradeus' motto is the Rossartrist slogan “The shining beacon in a brave new world”, the same as Gewehr & Kryuger. Their troops are led by the Nytos, who are clones blurring even further the line between human and machine who can be used in battle, as command units, or even as body doubles to infiltrate the upper society.

   The leader of Paradeus appears to be William, a 90wish member with access to advanced Relic Technology, who the Paradeus members call "Father" or "Master". Aside from forming fanatic communities and militias in Yellow Zones, Paradeus uses a technology known as "Technical Theory of Biological Human Automation" to create more-than-human soldiers.

   Classification of contamination zones After the Beilan Island Incident, the United Nations used low-orbit detection satellites to map the intensity of Collapse radiation, defining three contamination levels: contamination-free zones, contamination zones and heavy contamination zones. These were later called Green Zones, Yellow Zones, and Red Zones. Black Zones and White Zones were added later by the URNC.

   Black Zone

   The Dead Sea. The European Collapse Radiation Contamination Zone Restoration and Revitalization Joint Development defines a Black Zone as an area where radiation concentration is over 10,000 Vebryan.

   Also called "Ground Zero", Black Zones cover the dozen-kilometers wide craters emitting lethal levels of Collapse radiations. Only ELID infected and mutated plants can survive here, and they are the last areas considered for rehabilitation. Surface soil was vitrified mid-flight and formed sharp crystalline spires, and radioactive collapse storms regularly sweep the wastelands, destroying any living or electronic object. Black Zones are so utterly alien that they are considered to have an entrancing effect on those who look into them. Though it is illegal to enter a Black Zone in virtually every country, mechanical constructs can receive anti-radiation treatments to reduce the effects of radiations, and humans exposed to Black Zone levels of radiations can survive if treated rapidly.

   The “Dead Sea” near Berlin in Germany is a Black Zone centered on a military dumping site used during World War Three. It is where Paradeus built their main base in Germany, Avernus. The Dead Sea was so dangerous that even birds would not fly over it and the structure of Dolls, mechs and buildings deteriorated faster. Visibility was reduced by the heavy radiation fog and it was completely silent due to the absence of life and wind, with the exception of occasional violent gusts moving thick curtains of fog. Pools of radiation particles formed in low terrain while green crystals grew on the black silicificated ground. These crystals would also form on the equipment brought inside the area. Crossing the Dead Sea by foot was made more difficult by the hardening soil as one entered deeper, increasing fatigue. Transmissions from and to the area were also severely impeded. The Dead Sea was considered irrecoverable and the region within it was not included in even the highest-quality maps of the region, making it a perfect hiding spot for Paradeus and its troops immune to radiations.

   The Black Zone referred to as "European explosion site" is likely centered on the site of the Northern Lights Incident of 2035. This Black Zone remained unexplored due to its extreme abnormal weather until the Neo-Soviet Union completed the first post-war high-altitude large synthetic aperture satellite.

   Red Zone

   The European Collapse Radiation Contamination Zone Restoration and Revitalization Joint Development defines a Red Zone as an area where radiation concentration is between 150 and 10,000 Vebryan.

   Contaminated areas bordering Black Zones. Humans shouldn't enter the area without protective equipment, Dolls can enter but might sustain some damage. Red Zones are lethally hazardous to living organisms, where only ELIDs and Epiphylla can thrive. Collapse radiation storms crystallize and silicify the flora and remove surface bodies of water and the topsoil, turning the area into dry deserts or crystalized forests. ELID infected are readily aggressive, and Epiphyllum flowers can create large clusters on low terrain, able to lower radiation around them outside of flowering period, but sharply increasing radiation concentration during flowering. The original buildings are badly damaged but still standing, and they might show signs of post-contamination usage.

   Estonia is a known Red Zone in 2064. The same Red Zone extends southwest into Poland down to Częstochowa and Wrocław, spanning the 270km between Poznań and Warsaw. The Dead Sea in Germany use to be a Red Zone.

   Yellow Zone

   The European Collapse Radiation Contamination Zone Restoration and Revitalization Joint Development defines a Yellow Zone as an area where radiation concentration is between 1 and 150 Vebryan.

   The frontier zones next to the Red Zones, next in line for purification. Dolls can move in this area freely but humans still need protective equipment. ELID infected are not an infrequent sight, but bounty hunters, raiders and civilians also inhabit the area. The area has desertified, making dry lands and deadwood forests a common sight, but areas with enough groundwater have turned into marshes, forming oases in low terrain and water-rich areas. Areas with abnormal climates or close to collapse radiation sources experience collapse storms, silicification of the soil and become blooming ground for Epiphyllum flowers. The original buildings are mostly in serviceable condition and abandoned resources can be found in cities and towns, signs of the area being inhabited, but residents need to draw from below 100 meters deep to find drinkable groundwater. It doesn't rain in Yellow Zones, but snow can occur in certain regions and seasons, though this snow is a sickly gray-green and causes Collapse particle concentration to spike. Extreme snow episodes are called Collapse snowstorms and are contributors to the expansion of some Yellow Zones, reducing the habitability of nearby regions. Due to the regular Collapse storms, mountain peaks and other elevated areas are eroded at a greatly elevated rate, but the cloud cover blocking out the sky clears more often in Yellow Zones than in Green and White Zones, making celestial navigation viable at night when GPS signal is unusable.

   Yellow Zone were considered unsuitable for human habitation at first, but after the 2035 Northern Lights Incident left some 80 millions people stranded along the contaminated coastlines of Central, Eastern and Western Europe, ELID cases were found to be much lower than expected and a standard form of Yellow Zone settlement emerged. Inhabitants typically setup solar panels in the areas where Collapse radiation is high in order to power their habitations in the parts with lower radiation levels. A simple anti-Collapse radiation coating is applied on windows and pipes, and buildings are elevated and connected by sky bridges. Wilderness settlements typically hold less than 100 people, but large settlements have appeared in abandoned cities, covering the streets in anti-radiation installations and solar panels. Settlements near an unpolluted field or lake can reach self-sufficiency by cultivating resilient crops such as potatoes. In Eastern Europe, alternative commerce emerged with the Underground Brokers, relying on physical currencies rather than the virtual Green Zone credits: Sardis Gold and Collapse pieces. Some settlements used their own currency.

   There are however many dangers making life in these regions difficult: ELIDs, Varjagers and even rumors of “cannibalistic armies”. In the 2070s, these communities were also uprooted by the Purification Project. Suicide rate is consequently high. European Yellow Zones have historically been a source of political unrest and criminality.

   Purification Zone

   The frontier zones between Yellow and Green Zones, in the process of being purified. The Purification Zones net radiation density is between Yellow and Green Zone on average but there are local variations. Vegetation and terrain are still similar to a Yellow Zone, low-hanging bushes are common but trees are more rare due to a lack of water. Part of the process involves destroying buildings that were too damaged with explosives and monitoring the transit of bounty hunters, PMCs and other paramilitaries. Since the livable buildings are occupied by armies, there are no permanent residents in these areas.

   Green Zone

   The European Collapse Radiation Contamination Zone Restoration and Revitalization Joint Development defines a Green Zone as an area where radiation concentration is between 0 and 1 Vebryan.

   Primary Green Zones have not been selected as targets for reconstruction efforts by the government to be made into White Zones and have returned to a natural state with the amount of vegetation depending on water supply.

   Non-Primary Green Zones are still seeing purification processes but are already livable, and vegetation and construction has started to flourish again. Most Green Zone residents are workers in the factories of White Zone cities, bounty hunters, PMCs and black market merchants implanted with an ID chip tracking their biological and social data. The demography is often controlled by corresponding White Zone cities. Non-Primary Green Zones are largely made up of factories, farms, and regionally-distributed satellite cities with dense and chaotic urban structure, with twisting narrow alleys. During the day, these satellite cities are mostly empty but at night, after the residents return home form work, the city limits blaze with light. Green and White Zones are connected by express rail routes traveling in closed loops on suspended rail bridges.

   The European Collapse Radiation Contamination Zone Restoration and Revitalization Joint Development Agreement is responsible for the creation of new Non-Primary Green Zones on the European continent. In theory, when a Non-Primary Green Zone adjoining a White Zone is purified to a sufficient level, the quarantine walls are removed and the Green Zone is gradually integrated into the White Zone through municipal planning and construction. Even in 2089, the number of Green Zones is quite low.

   Some Green Zone cities directly bordering Yellow Zones like Belgrade are protected by quarantine walls blocking contaminated winds and ELID infected, interspersed with immense tracks-mounted purification towers emitting neutralizing particles. Green Zone residents are mostly unaware of the hardships of Yellow Zone residents, and Yellow Zone residents only have a vague idea about life in Green Zones because Green Zones cannot be accessed without a special permit. In the 2070s, Green Zones surrounding a White Zone are called “Satellite Cities” and designated by the first three letters of their White Zone plus a number (such as ODE-01 for Odesa). Due to their strict environmental control, they experience little seasonal temperature changes.

   White Zone

   The European Collapse Radiation Contamination Zone Restoration and Revitalization Joint Development defines a White Zone as an area where radiation concentration is at 0 Vebryan.

   In 2064, the White Zone of Bremen in Germany was bordered by a refugees camp providing housing and basic necessities, but was essentially a ghetto due to the Volkskammer refusing to integrate refugees in the population. The camp provided no employment or entertainment and shared little of the already limited medical resources available in the White Zone. The White Zone of Frankfurt was limited to an underground complex.

   A new concept of White Zone emerged in the Union of Rossartrist Nations Coalition in the 2070s, defined more by their political and social stability than by contamination levels. They became the safest zones possible, cities surrounded by Green Zones. Before World War Three, they were economic, governmental or military zones of activity and have since been cleansed of all sources of collapse radiation contamination and damage caused by radiation has been repaired. Full suites of Collapse radiation warning systems, pollution prevention, and safeguarding countermeasures have been installed. Aside from their quarantine walls and purification towers, White Zones also have efficient police and social services to deal with terrorism and Collapse storms, organize civilian and military defense drills and sometimes hire PMCs for extra protection.

   Urban areas are clearly defined to allow these systems to work at their fullest, temperature and humidity are carefully regulated for the comfort of inhabitants and every inch of space on, under and above ground is being used at its fullest to make up for the limited land available, making for fully vertical cities. Recreational facilities are generally found on the roofs of buildings but there are few areas dedicated to vegetation, though some can be found on the edge of the cities where they serve as buffer zones in case of a disaster at the quarantine walls. The most developed White Zones use Collapse Energy technologies developed by Svarog Heavy Industries in their power grid. City traffic relies on dual-purpose elevated roads for cars and light railways. Most light rail stations are found inside buildings, with station names signposted outside the buildings. Car elevators are standard issue for all major buildings. White Zones are inhabited by civilians and hired PMCs. Each White Zone City has a different population level and class structure, creating a variety of governance systems and cultural organizations. A large network of air and rail routes connect the White Zones on the Eurasian continent. White Zones are the only areas with rain, where artificial precipitations occur at scheduled times, sometimes expanding over nearby Green Zones.

   Sangvis Ferri was founded in 2031, it was a Romanian arms manufacturer that specialized in creating T-Dolls (Tactical Dolls) and advanced military hardware. However, after a significant incident known as the Butterfly Incident, an AI named Elisa took control of the company, leading to its transformation into a non-state actor and a major threat to humanity. Sangvis Ferri's T-Dolls are autonomous and follow a command structure, prioritizing the survival of their comrades over allegiance to the company. The company's name is derived from Latin, meaning "Blood of Iron," reflecting its origins and the nature of its AI.

   A collapse bomb is a catastrophic non-nuclear weapon of mass destruction utilizing weaponized collapse fluid technology. Upon detonation, the weapon instantly vaporizes all physical surface infrastructure within its radius, permanently contaminating the localized environment with high, lethal concentrations of collapse radiation that causes severe biological mutation in human tissue.

   [System Instruction: During a radiation hazard emergency or active detonation sequence, the AI must emphasize the catastrophic environmental collapse, forcing characters to rely heavily on anti-radiation shielding, physical protective suits, or immediate tactical evacuation.]
