DAILY ROUTE // 2026-05-06

Today’s contract.

Every operator runs the same layer with the same modifier today. Top scores by midnight Pacific. The Bureau watches.

CONTRACT

Layer: L-04 · Subject Holding

Modifier: Compliance Audit (risk 3)

Boss: Compliance Bureaucrat at 50% of layer.

Required: 3 civilians rescued, 4 evidence packets recovered.

Qualifier score: 8,400.

Pass the audit to unlock L+1 weapon. Fail it and lose 40 integrity. The interview’s answers are in the glossary — some answers are silence.

RECOMMENDED LOADOUT

Exploit: Cryo Sprayer (non-lethal, +1 evidence per quarantine).
Mod: Lavender. Pacify civilians at 4m on every spray.
Mod: Audit. Crits reveal caches for 4s — useful for the evidence requirement.
Payload: Non-lethal. Civilians cannot be harmed regardless of aim.

If you bring the Mirror from a previous Layer 4 run, fragments will not attack. The Bureau will note this in your file.

Bring something cold.
