Shelf 07 · The Dossier

Field Files

Design sheets, spec pages and site surveys pulled off Runner Net — the network Steler hosts for runners, free of charge, no questions asked. Files open as the comic catches up to them. Anything the story hasn't shown yet stays sealed, and Sil-101 will not be drawn on it.

Sil-101 · Store manager

These are not mine and I did not stock them. They were on Runner Net the morning after the Nether Zones. Somebody wanted them found. I have filed them, because filing is what I do, and I have sealed the ones Lunara would seal. The gold one is filed under “I do not know what it is.” That is not a category. It is now.

The ride

Midnight Blue design sheet: the hover bike at speed with front, side, rear and top views, silhouette, and detail panels of the HUD, emblem, body linework, thruster and saddle

Declassified · after Part 2

Vehicle · Lunara's

Midnight BlueAnti-grav hover bike · design sheet

Best ride in the city, but who is riding it? Midnight blue over black, red light where it counts, the MIDNIGHT mark lit along the flank. Front, side, rear and top views, the silhouette, the windscreen HUD, the emblem, the body linework, the rear thruster and the saddle. Ride. Hunt. Dominate. Repeat.

Sil-101: I am now permitted to describe it, within limits. It is blue. It is hers. It is faster than the spec sheet says, and the spec sheet is not modest.

Lunara and Midnight blueprint: Lunara seated on the hover bike, riding and stationary poses, four views with rider, control interface, seat channel and scale comparison

Declassified · after Part 2

Vehicle · rider

Lunara and MidnightNeon City blueprint · rider sheet

Same roads. Different rules. The rider sheet: Lunara on Midnight in the riding pose, front, side, rear and top views with her aboard, the stationary pose, the control interface, the seat and rider channel, and the scale comparison — Midnight at about 3.2 metres to Lunara's 1.75.

Sil-101: the windscreen reads her before she sits down. The bike has never been stolen. The bike has never been tried.

Point-defense drones sheet: deployed and folded views, deployment sequence from Midnight, escort formation around Lunara, interception and damaged states, scale reference

Declassified · after Part 2

Hardware · Lunara's

Point-Defense DronesFour identical compact interceptors

Four drones, deployed from Midnight's bays, unfolding in flight and taking escort formation around the rider. Twin interceptor cannons, tracking sensors, reinforced armour on the front. They detect, intercept, disrupt — and when a shot has to be taken, they take it instead of her.

Sil-101: they are in the way on purpose. I have been asked to keep four spares. I keep six.

The Nether Zones

Declassified · after Part 2

Site survey

Freight Complex Z7Nether Zones · Freight District

Industry, abandoned. Forgotten. Still stands. The freight yards, the collapsed warehouse sector, the elevated cargo rails and the industrial overlook Lunara watched the battle from — a district the Loop no longer serves and the city no longer mentions.

Sil-101: Loop Corp lists it as “service temporarily suspended.” It has been temporarily suspended for eleven years.

GOLD Executive Transport interior sheet: main cabin, entry breach, central passenger cabin, secure core door, rear escape door with EMP countdown, detail studies

Declassified · after Part 2

Vehicle · GOLD

GOLD Executive TransportInterior master design · crashed condition

People worth protecting, anywhere. The executive cabin, the breach area, the mission cabin and the secure core with its military-grade authentication door — as found, on its side, in Z7. The same standards. A different world.

Sil-101: GOLD builds transports for people who expect to arrive. This one did not. The security turret was still active when the runners moved in. It is not active now.

Seen on: Page 11, Page 13

The Golden Cube sheet: the cube held in a gloved hand, front, angle and rear views, structure study of nested plates, edge, core, surface and energy-trace details

Declassified · after Part 2

Object · unknown

The Golden CubePalm-sized · self-contained · higher order

Layered geometry. Internal code-light. Nested plates that move without moving. A small object and a larger question, handed over in a wrecked transport by a man who chose to stay behind with it. It now rides on Lunara's right thigh, in a case that is also gold.

Sil-101: filed under “I do not know what it is.” Nobody has opened it. Nobody has said what opening it would cost.

The other side

Black/Red Force sheet: combat android front and back, head sensor detail, assault mech front and back, support mech, field units and a battlefield example

Declassified · after Part 2

Force · unidentified

Black / Red ForceArmy-grade assault mech · combat androids

No borders. No surrender. Only results. Combat androids around two metres, assault mechs at four, support mechs between — black plate, red lines, the same tech base as everyone else's, and a doctrine nobody else has: take ground, hold it, and keep coming. Nobody has claimed them. Nobody has needed to.

Sil-101: the file says “same origins, different purpose.” I have not been told whose origins. I have been told not to ask.

Seen on: Page 11 – Page 14

Black/Red Force combat hover bike sheet: front, side, rear and top views, rider posture, key details of sensors, weapons and thrusters, assault formation

Declassified · after Part 2

Vehicle · unidentified

Combat Hover BikeBlack / Red Force · assault interceptor

Rapid insertion, fire support, hit and run, area denial. Twin forward cannons, side mounts, anti-grav repulsors, and a rider who is not a person. Two of them followed Midnight out of the Nether Zones. Neither of them came back.

Sil-101: 4.2 metres, 400-plus kilometres an hour, two cannons. Lunara took both with a blade, in the air, from the top of a wall. I am told this was “nothing.”

Diva communications HUD: the Omega Encryption — Priority Now interface with the incoming message and a golden code-form on the right

Declassified · after Part 2

Interface · partial

DivaOmega encryption · communications HUD

What Lunara sees when Diva speaks: a secure channel, a header that says PRIORITY NOW, and a message that arrives already true. The code-form on the right listens, adapts and persists. This file has been trimmed. The rest of it is about what the code-form becomes, and the story has not shown that yet.

Sil-101: Sprite calls it Diva. Diva has never called it anything. The file says “some truths travel in shadows.” The file is not wrong.

Lunara said the word on a private channel and Sprite asked whether she meant it. She meant it. Sil-101 has a progress bar and no comment.

Silver / BlackArmy-grade androids · seen once, briefly

A third force on the Z7 battlefield, white and silver, moving against the black and red. Nobody has said who sent them. The story will.
