Definition
The Serpent Force is a covert black-ops unit operating under the direct command of Agent Thalos, answerable to no other Authority body. Officially, it does not exist: designations are scrubbed, personnel erased, operations omitted from the archive. The Serpent Force does not arrest. It erases.
Purpose & Operations
- Total Erasure: obliterate all physical and digital traces of targeted sites or personnel.
- Containment of Knowledge: secure or destroy data contradicting Authority doctrine.
- Operational Silence: leave no alarms, no warnings, no witnesses—only aftermath.
Missions are sanctioned via the Black Relay Network, an encrypted lattice accessible only to Thalos. Targets include rogue research divisions, ideological breaches, and classified anomalies beyond planetary law.
Composition
- Operatives: augmented assets drawn from decommissioned Agent programs; empathy and identity removed.
- Spectral Phase Modulators: permit traversal through dense alloys—“ghosts through steel.”
- Tactical Obfuscation Fields: invisibility to sensors and surveillance grids; acoustic nulling.
- Self-Erasing Protocols: neural cores disintegrate on death, leaving no biological residue.
Incident: Section Twelve
Witness accounts describe a complete purge of a sealed research wing following unauthorized genetic experiments linked to the Korrusian archive. Sixty-seven researchers—a child among them—were eliminated. The facility was reduced to slag; no remains recovered, no record retained in Authority databanks.
Symbolism & Fear
The name Serpent references an ancient insignia depicting two serpents intertwined in a spiral, their fangs bared toward one another. To the elite, it symbolizes order born from conflict—control achieved through destruction and renewal. To those below, it is the embodiment of obliteration. When whispers say the Serpent Force has mobilized, it means a line has been crossed that cannot be uncrossed.
