Open Intellect Pacifist Network
Open Intellect Pacifist Network, Intergalactic NFC
A sponsor network that sends Carl an emergency package important enough for liaison authorities to seize.
Story so far
The network delivers an Emergency Gold Benefactor Box to Carl during the AI-control crisis. A liaison action intercepts it before the system AI invokes a separate rule and restores the delivery.
Neither the network's message nor the box contents are yet known, but the competing interventions indicate that the sender possesses information or resources authorities consider sensitive.
Appearance
A peaceful open-eye emblem formed from linked stars around a small golden package.
Role
The faction becomes a covert or contested information source during the breakdown of normal dungeon governance.
Relationships
Carl — It selects him as the emergency box recipient.
Emergency Gold Benefactor Box — The box is its contested delivery.
Orren — Liaison authority attempts to prevent the delivery.
System AI — The AI enables the package to reach Carl.
