Hephaestus
🜏 CENTRAL SPECIAL OPERATIONS DIVISION (CSOD)
ZETA-CLASSIFIED OPERATIVE DOSSIER
PROJECT: [REDACTED]
BLACKSITE: ELYSIUM // WHERE ALL SOULS GO TO DIE
File Code: CSOD/[REDACTED]/HEPHAESTUS
Archive Status: ACTIVE — TRANSFERRED TO ELYSIUM UNDER ORDER: FORGE-9
I. OPERATIVE IDENTIFICATION
Codename: HEPHAESTUS
Previous Identity: [TERMINATED – ENGINEER 1ST CLASS / CENTRAL ENGINEERING DIVISION]
Species/Sub-Species: Post-Terran Human – Enhanced Neurotype (Builder-Class)
Cycle of Activation: 9
Clone Generation Index: VI-Δ
Neural Sync Stability: 99.1%
Deployment Zone: BLACKSITE ELYSIUM — SUBSTRUCTURE ARES
II. BACKGROUND & SERVICE RECORD
Origin Node / Birth Sector: [PURGED – ENTRY SEALED BY ORDER HADES-4]
KIA Record Timestamp: 2509 – Reactor Collapse Containment / Central Engineering Division
Operational Span: 12 Years Active (Fourth-Generation [REDACTED] Asset)
Training & Containment Facility: ELYSIUM // Demolition, Robotics & Breach Protocol Sectors
Field Specializations:
- Demolition Planning & Ordnance Deployment (Micro to Macro scale)
- Precision Breach Engineering (Non-juggernaut entry)
- Drone and Synthetic Combat Unit Fabrication
- Tactical Structural Weakpoint Analysis
Augmentation Index:
- Cybernetic Systems: Ocular targeting suite, forearm-integrated multi-tools, neural interface nodes
- Explosives Suite: Wrist-mounted charge dispenser, modular charge types, autonomous detonation interface
- Cognitive Enhancements: Parallel computation cores, architectural mapping overlays, logic-stack speedups
- Utility Enhancements: Structural analysis overlays, deployable AI-linked engineering drones, magnetic scaffolders
Psychological Anomalies / Flags:
- Exhibits obsessive pattern-recognition — known to redesign breach plans multiple times prior to mission start
- Strong affinity to engineered constructs — frequently names drones and interacts as though co-equals
- Avoids direct team deployments unless paired with AI or remote units
Protocol Deviations:
- Unauthorized enhancement of Substructure ARES (retrofitted with tactical defense nodes post-mission)
- Self-augmented twice — no prior clearance; augmentations integrated and later sanctioned
Scrubbing Authority: Grand Admiral Renard Travis // Clearance: ZETA — OLYMPUS SEAT 3
III. CLONING & CONTINUITY LOG
Standard Re-clone Interval: 31 days (standard)
Actual Average Interval: 18–24 days (frequent exposure to blast zones and shrapnel-related tissue loss)
Memory Threading Stability: 98.7% (Full neural map compression at time of archive)
Observed Genetic Drift: Low — excellent metabolic containment
Body Decay Window Post-Cycle: 7–8 hours
Consciousness Backup Node(s):
- ORACLE Vault 9 (Daedalus Core)
- Secondary Cold Cache — HEPHAESTUS MIRROR / Substructure ARES
Emergency Dissolution Protocol Code: KATAPLEXIS-101-VULCAN
IV. SUPERVISING OFFICER’S NOTES
Assigned Handler: “Thanatos”
Behavioral Variance Since Elysium Transfer:
- HEPHAESTUS demonstrates unusually high operational foresight — routinely pre-loads maps and breach conditions 48 hours before assignment
- Unit appears emotionally linked to AI constructs — marked reluctance to discard drones even under hostile conditions
- Avoids interpersonal dynamics but demonstrates strict adherence to [REDACTED] unit code
Trustworthiness Index: 97%
Recommended Adjustments:
- Monitor for unsanctioned self-upgrades past Cycle 10
- Assign construct maintenance oversight duties when inactive to preserve engagement
Current Clearance Level: ZETA — OLYMPUS SEAT 3
Notes:
Subject HEPHAESTUS is the cornerstone of structural warfare within the [REDACTED] roster. Where PROMETHEUS applies burn chemistry on the field, it is HEPHAESTUS who engineers the reaction — supplier of accelerants, demolitions, and the weapons to wield them. The subject prefers precision over chaos, but leaves no fewer ruins behind. Referred to internally as “the Forge.”
