# Character State: ch-11
|
||
|
||
## Sarah Jenkins
|
||
Location: The Barn / Cattle Pen, Cypress Bend, Florida.
|
||
Physical: Covered in placental fluid and mud; minor abrasions on forearms from the "triage" maneuver; hands steady but stained with blood.
|
||
Emotional: Coldly efficient and vindicated; experiencing a shift from "victim" to "operator."
|
||
Active obligations: Owes the sanctuary a successful stabilization of the livestock (Ch-11) — PAID.
|
||
Open loops: Sarah and the integration of her "Status Code" logic into physical surgery (Ch-11) — RESOLVED.
|
||
Known secrets: CARRIED (Ch-01—unresolved): Knows the Alpha-7 empathy protocols were a lie to facilitate mass firings — Julian does NOT know she has weaponized that same detachment for survival.
|
||
Arc: 55% -- Sarah has transitioned from the "Ghost in the Machine" to the physical arbiter of life and death in the grove.
|
||
Permanent: YES
|
||
|
||
## Marcus Thorne
|
||
Location: The Barn / Perimeter, Cypress Bend, Florida.
|
||
Physical: Nauseous; knees weak from a near-syncope during the breach; smelling of copper and rain.
|
||
Emotional: Utterly humbled; experiencing a "Processing Error" as his technical God-complex fails against biological reality.
|
||
Active obligations: Owes Sarah a formal recognition of her leadership (Ch-11) — UNPAID.
|
||
Open loops: Marcus and his inability to "admin-solve" physical trauma (Ch-11) — UNRESOLVED.
|
||
Known secrets: CARRIED (Ch-01—unresolved): Knows the Alpha-7 empathy protocols were a lie to facilitate mass firings — Julian does NOT know he kept the back-end logs.
|
||
Arc: 45% -- Marcus has accepted his role as "support hardware," deferring to Sarah’s superior "human-layer" triage.
|
||
Permanent: YES
|
||
|
||
## David
|
||
Location: The Barn / Cattle Pen, Cypress Bend, Florida.
|
||
Physical: Muscle tremors in arms; hands shaking; no injuries, but physically paralyzed by the "mess" of the breach.
|
||
Emotional: Shaken and displaced; he has lost his status as the "primary protector" to Sarah’s competence.
|
||
Active obligations: Owes Sarah his survivalist tools (Ch-11) — PAID.
|
||
Open loops: David and the collapse of his "pioneer" authority (Ch-11) — UNRESOLVED.
|
||
Arc: 35% -- David has been forced to witness the "brutal triage" required by the land, breaking his romanticized homesteading ego.
|
||
Permanent: YES
|
||
|
||
## Julian Avery
|
||
Location: Avery-Quinn HQ (Remote Observation).
|
||
Physical: Unseen.
|
||
Emotional: Analytical; sensing a "biological anomaly" in the Florida sector.
|
||
Arc: 15% -- Julian is beginning to track the "thermal spike" of the sanctuary's localized activity.
|
||
|
||
## Arthur Silas Vance — DECEASED (Ch-36)
|
||
Established: Died peacefully in his sleep overlooking the cypress grove he spent his life protecting.
|
||
Legacy: His "analog" veterinary kit and the heavy logic of his barn provided the theatre for Sarah's triage.
|
||
|
||
# World State: ch-11
|
||
|
||
## NPC Memory
|
||
- **The Sanctuary Calf:** SAVED -- Survived a transverse breach through Sarah’s manual intervention -- Will now serve as the "Beta-Test" for the grove's sustainability.
|
||
|
||
## Faction Attitudes
|
||
- **Avery-Quinn Corp:** TRACKING -- They have noted a minute "empathy-protocol" signature in the Sarah logs being accessed during the crisis.
|
||
- **The Land (Cypress Bend):** COMPROMISED -- The environment demanded a blood-tax; the protagonists paid it, securing a temporary "handshake" with the ecosystem.
|
||
|
||
## Active World Events
|
||
- **The Blood Triage:** COMPLETED -- The first biological crisis of the sanctuary has been resolved without digital intervention.
|
||
- **The Great Hunger:** ONGOING -- While the calf survived, the caloric "burn rate" of the group has increased significantly due to the stress event. |
