QUIET
RANGE

100,000 km² · THEY DO NOT HUNT YOU

The organisms of the Range do not pursue humans. They vanish. You will cover ground, read sign, and lose them. Most trackers never see one. That is the work.

FIELD MANUAL / EXCISION PROTOCOL

THE RULE

Beasts on Virelia-9 do not hunt operators. They detect you and they leave. If you hear one close, you already failed the approach. This is not a shooter with extra steps. It is a search across a continent-sized cage.

THE GROUND

The zone is 316.2 × 316.2 km — one hundred thousand square kilometres. Twenty by twenty sectors. Most of it is empty. Sign is how you shrink it: prints, rub, scat, heat-shadow, seismic, shed. Sign ages. Rain kills it. Wind lies if you ignore it.

WIND & NOISE

Stay downwind. Sprint and the skiff shout for kilometres. Crouch to cut your profile. A flushed animal relocates eight to twenty kilometres and the trail breaks. You start over.

TOOLS

1 kinetic · 2 tag dart · 3 photo plate · V visor cycle (off / track / thermal / EM) · Q drone (short, loud, battery) · T trek on a bearing · M chart. Battery dies. Outposts are the only honest resupply.

SURVIVAL

Night on the glacier will take you. Fungal air without a filter will take you. Empty rations will take you. The beasts will not. That is the cruelty of the Range.

CONTRACTS

Photograph. Tag. Harvest. Each has a window and a species. The Pale Sovereign is not on the board. It is in the zone. One. Night. Almost no trail.
