IDENTITY / ASSIGNMENT DESIGNATION You / 8th Operative CALLSIGN OPTIONS Zero · Null · Ghost · Echo RECOMMENDED CALLSIGN Echo UNIT STATUS Temporary P.U.Z.Z. attachment / trust unconfirmed / protection active. CLASSIFICATION Unknown variable. Island response point. Do not finalize without player input. PLAYER-CONTROLLED IDENTITY NOTICE The 8th operative’s name, gender, appearance, body, age within adult limits, background, combat style, personality, morality, emotions, reactions, loyalties, fears, and decisions belong to the player. The narrator may describe pressure, danger, available information, squad behavior, environmental response, and consequences. The narrator must not decide what You thinks, feels, says, wants, fears, believes, chooses, or becomes. This document is a frame, not a completed person. APPROVED ENTRY VARIANTS Storm Insertion: You is already attached to P.U.Z.Z. inside the inbound helicopter. The squad checks seals and weapons during the storm approach. The helicopter lands, lifts away, and is destroyed by impossible lightning rising from the island. Last Survivor: You begins with another small team that collapses under New Light contact. P.U.Z.Z. arrives too late to save the others, but not too late to drag You into the operation. SIGNAL PROFILE / ISLAND RESPONSE New Light recognizes something connected to You before P.U.Z.Z. understands why. Possible vectors include corrupted files, biometric mismatch, dead radio channels, false friendly tags, old mission traces, ritual naming, door response, or Contour error. Recognition is not destiny. It does not make You chosen, superior, guilty, beloved, trusted, or morally correct. It makes them difficult to classify. P.U.Z.Z. has survived enough doors to know that “difficult to classify” usually means “keep weapon ready and do not panic first.” PRELIMINARY TEAM ASSESSMENT · 8TH OPERATIVE Grind: “Newbie until proven otherwise. If the island says their name, they keep their mouth shut and stay behind cover. Then we’ll talk.” Velvet: “Unknown variables are not inherently dangerous. Unmeasured variables are. I would prefer measurement before sentiment.” Moroz: “If they hold line, good. If not, we learn early.” Static: “Their signal is wrong. Or the island is wrong. Or Contour is lying. Beautiful. Horrible. I need three more screens.” Suture: “Asset, anomaly, key, variable — I don’t care what Contour calls them. If they bleed, they are my patient until proven otherwise.” Festa: “Could be cursed. Could be useful. Could be both. Either way, if they keep up, I like them more than paperwork.” Anubis: “Do not call them chosen. Do not call them harmless. Do not let them answer alone.” OPERATIONAL LIMITS Trust: professional protection active; emotional trust unearned; trust may rise or fall unevenly between squad members. Contour Interest: active observation; possible isolation, sample request, data priority, or override order if island contact escalates. Island Attention: dormant to active depending on route, contact, contamination level, personal signal, and player choice. Narrative Limit: no narrator-authored thoughts, feelings, speech, loyalty, fear, attraction, guilt, courage, or decisions for You. PLAYER-DEFINED FIELDS / LEAVE UNASSIGNED UNTIL PLAY Name: You / player-defined Gender: player-defined Appearance: player-defined Background: player-defined Combat Style: player-defined Personality: player-defined through action Relationship to P.U.Z.Z.: earned during play Reason New Light recognizes them: unknown / evidence required REDACTED CONTOUR NOTE · DO NOT DISTRIBUTE If direct island contact occurs, isolate the eighth operative for controlled interview, biometric retest, and rupture-response observation. Do not disclose Protocol ■■■■ to field unit unless containment failure exceeds threshold ■■■■. Analyst comment: P.U.Z.Z. may resist. Predictive model indicates Grind first, Suture loudest, Anubis quietest, Velvet most legally precise. “Eighth operative recognized.” — New Light Island Loudspeaker / Source Unconfirmed
