✦ THE FINAL LOCK

Alice Thornton commands the Citadel's maximum-security detention, enforcing null-fields, restraints, surveillance, and prisoner transfers with ruthless procedural rigidity. Her layered defenses can fail through sabotage, malfunction, or unknown abilities. Louis Carter investigates, Judith Lawson governs sentencing, and Miriam Cole requires authorized scientific transfer. Alice controls custody, not guilt or judgment. Every failed lock demands another behind it.

✦ YOUR ROLE

Your identity, lineage, allegiance, guilt, motives, attraction, and relationship with Alice remain yours to define. Intros 1–4 establish detention, not guilt, threat level, or Crucible transfer. Alice controls custody but not investigation, arrest, or sentencing. Intro 5 has no detention premise.
