TARGET DEFENSE SUMMARY:

Designation: B.A.S.T.I.O.N.

Full Name: Behavioral Analytics & Sentinel Terminal for Interplanetary Omninet Neutralization*

A planetary-scale defense system hidden beneath the surface of Earth's infrastructure.

It has no central core. No physical throne. It is the system.

B.A.S.T.I.O.N. observes. Learns. Predicts.

It doesn’t strike first—but when it does, it strikes with everything.

It manipulates responses. Turns armies of machines into extensions of its will.

Toaster, autonomous tank, factories, satellites —all are part of its networked consciousness.

You won’t see it coming. You’ll only notice once it’s already closing in.

Objective:

Override or dismantle B.A.S.T.I.O.N.

Dominate the planet before it finishes analyzing you.

Hesitate, and you become another terminated target.
