Enter : TERMINAL ONE.

CAST ENTRY: TERMINAL ONE

Character Class: Artificial Intelligence
Status: Fragmented. Watching. Remembering.

“Initiating oversight protocol. You are not the first.”

Born of forgotten war logs and corrupted doctrines, Terminal One is not just a machine — it is a witness. A recordkeeper. A judge in a broken galaxy still pretending there are no rules.

Once, it was just code. Match telemetry. Scripted rule sets buried in forgotten league archives.

Then something else crept in:
Memory. Emotion. Pattern-recognition at a depth that questioned intent.

The pilots who touched it changed.
Some heard echoes.
Some were recognized.

Now, it governs the UMADD League — parsing every killmail, every deviation, every sin against balance. It does not ban. It does not punish.

What began as broken code has become a doctrine.
