01 / PUBLIC MANDATE
OBSERVE.
Every unexplained incident begins with something somebody noticed. Your report allows trained personnel to decide what matters.
Cortex / Global authority
SAFETY THROUGH
COMPLIANCE.
Civilisation is not self-sustaining. It requires protection, oversight and the authority to act before danger becomes tragedy.
THE EMERGENCY ENDED.
OUR DUTY DID NOT.
The Cortex is the world government born from the Catastrophe. Its authority was built to contain the supernatural. It has never stopped expanding the meaning of containment.
02 / PUBLIC MANDATE
RESTRICT.
Temporary limitations on movement and association protect the wider population. Freedom without oversight is an unacceptable exposure to risk.
03 / PUBLIC MANDATE
CONTAIN.
Subjects requiring assessment are transferred to appropriate facilities. The public is advised not to interfere with authorised personnel.
Subject care / Continuing assessment
A PERSON IS
NOT A PROBLEM.
A CASE
CAN BE MANAGED.

PLAYING THE CORTEXOUT-OF-CHARACTER GUIDANCE
WHAT WILL YOU
DO WITH AUTHORITY?
Play an enforcer, an investigator, an opportunist or a true believer. Enforce a decree. Negotiate a corrupt bargain. Use a crisis to justify a new restriction. Protect the institution, or put your position at risk.
The Cortex has a long record of persecution and abuses. Its role in the setting is not simply to keep the peace, but to decide whose peace counts.
