PROTOCOL 01 - THE SILENCE
Deep within the Rust Roots, Nilo unearths an anomaly falling from the grid sky. It isn't scrap metal. It is a girl who glitches instead of bleeding.
The eternal silence of the Vault is about to be broken.
Issue 2
PROTOCOL 02 - THE CONTACT
In the toxic depths of the Rusten Roots, survival depends on isolation. Scavenger Nilo has always obeyed one rule: let corrupted files be deleted by the system.
But at the bottom of Crater UR-04, that rule is about to be broken. Kairys is not a survivor; she is an Anomaly bleeding data instead of blood. Attempting to fix her ceramic flesh with analog tools will be the fatal error that wakes the Vault. The contact has been made. The hunt begins.
Issue 3
PROTOCOL 03 - THE COLLAPSE
In the Ashen Wastes, the food chain is absolute: Executors erase, Scavengers flee. Nile has always respected this hierarchy. But when Unit 734, "The Grave," corners them, their survival logic fails. Aren is not a weapon of war, it is a support drone. Yet, faced with the total erasure of its user, the AI will make a choice its code should not allow. A core overload. An uncalculated sacrifice. The fall into darkness has begun.
Issue 4
PROTOCOL 04 - GRAVEYARD OF GIANTS
In the Ashen Wastes, silence is a costly luxury. After Aren's sacrifice, Nilo is technically blind and vulnerable. But a true Scavenger doesn't weep over debris: he repurposes it. As Nilo assembles his new vision (Amber Goggles V2) and covers the Anomaly with a cloak of ash, the graveyard beneath their feet begins to tremble. The dead don't stay dead in Level 0. The Swarm has awakened. And it is calling its King.
Issue 5
PROTOCOL 05 - THE SIEGE
Against an armored Blocker, bullets are useless. Without Aren's radar, Nilo is tactically blind and pinned to the ground. But survival in the Vault doesn't depend on firepower, it depends on system permissions. Kairys stops running and reveals her true nature: she's not a mistake to be erased, she's an Administrator who can erase. Reality bends. Metal corrupts. And among the wreckage of a war won with digital blood, an old friend is about to find a new body.
