PROPOSAL-TIER. This kit serves canon and never outranks it. It writes no registry row.
The law it obeys: docs/proposals/combat/KIT_SCALING_TABLE.md. The intelligence scale:
docs/proposals/combat/INTELLIGENCE_TIERS.md. The body it fights with is the bestiarylane's: docs/proposals/bestiary/BESTIARY_ELEVATION_DOCTRINE.md and its sheets. This file
describes the FIGHT; it never restates the BODY. Authors no magnitude -- no damage, no
health, no timing, no coefficient. Those are Phase-5M's behind the tuning firewall.

Silhouette read. A lit clearing cut out of a forest, and one man in it who is not doing any of the work.
Opener (MHM-G10, the cheap lesson first). THE SWEEP -- a searchlight crosses the clearing on a fixed period and passes over nothing. Free, and it hands the player the fight's metronome before anything is at stake.
| phase | name | what it PUSHES (nothing pops) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | canopy infiltration | above the station, in the three-strata volume. Traversal, timing and staying out of the light. |
| 2 | the apparatus part-break | the station's machinery. BE_0011's evolve-not-swap clause: STATION ALARMS REUSE THE PATROL PATTERNS AT HIGHER TEMPO. |
| 3 | the confrontation | the row is explicit: DUPONT'S DUEL IMPORTS THE PATROL TELEGRAPH-LANGUAGE. He fights in the grammar the player has spent two phases learning, which is the whole point of him. |
| # | ability | phase | body origin | tell shape | counter | note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Sweep | 1 | a mounted searchlight on a fixed traverse | the light crosses on a period | any | |
| 2 | The Patrol Pattern | 1 | two Force Publique sentries on a circuit | the pair passes the same post twice at the same interval | neutralize | The pattern is the fight's language and phase 3 speaks it. Neutralize is the timing read. |
| 3 | The Canopy Gap | 1 | the station's cleared margin, where the strata end | the branch road stops | cover | The row's counter -- 'the searchlight sweep -> canopy height or foliage cover'. |
| 4 | The Enforcer Volley | 1 | a rifle section, on a called line | the sentries stop walking and face one way together | cover | The row's second counter -- 'the enforcer volley -> Stone Skin or a dodge-roll'. |
| 5 | The Alarm Line | 1 | a wire between posts | a wire that is taut where the others sag | trigger_interrupt | |
| 6 | The Palisade Lane | 1 | the sentry-line's own constriction | the gap between posts is the only way through and it is lit | dodge_only | |
| 7 | The Day Heat | 1 | the cut clearing's own microclimate | the air over the clearing is visibly worse than the air over the trees | any | EG_0169's exposure_hazard = heat on a clearing with no affordance and no verbs -- it is a condition, not a tool, and this kit uses it as exactly that. See the boarded note in KIT_SCALING_TABLE 7. |
| 8 | The Raised Tempo | 2 | the same patrol circuit, faster | the pair passes the post at a shorter interval | neutralize | MHM-G10's variant law at station scale: ability 2's root, compressed. The row's own clause. |
| 9 | The Quota Press | 2 | the drying racks and the bale stack | men are moved off the line and onto the racks | any | |
| 10 | The Machinery Guard | 2 | enforcers stationed on the apparatus rather than the perimeter | the patrol stops circling and stands still | parry_only | |
| 11 | The Ledger Run | 2 | a clerk carrying the quota record away | one man leaves at a walk while everyone else is running | trigger_interrupt | win_condition = PART_BREAK;PACIFY -- the record is half the win and it is leaving. |
| 12 | The Bale Fire | 2 | the latex store, lit by the station itself | the enforcers move away from the stack before it goes up | cover | They will burn their own quota rather than let it be counted. EG_0174 is D2_IGNITE-armed and they arm it. |
| 13 | The Apparatus Held | 2 | the station's load-bearing frame | the machinery's noise changes pitch under load | weak_point | The named part, and primary_verb-adjacent: win_condition = PART_BREAK. |
| 14 | The Imported Telegraph | 3 | Dupont's own attacks, in the patrol's grammar | his wind-up is the same shape as a sentry's called line | parry_only | PHASE-SPECIFIC in effect and the row's own clause: his duel imports the patrol telegraph-language. Two phases of learning cash in here. |
| 15 | The Sabre Lunge | 3 | rear leg and point, from a formal guard | his rear heel lifts and the point drops | dodge_only | |
| 16 | The Revolver | 3 | a holstered sidearm, drawn late | he stops using his left hand for balance | cover | |
| 17 | The Called Line | 3 | his own men, ordered onto the duel | he speaks in the middle of an exchange | cover | PATTERN COUNTER: the order arrives on the patrol's beat, so the player who learned phase 1 knows where the volley is going before it is fired. |
| 18 | The Signature | 3 | a hand, and a document, and nothing else | he stops fighting and reaches for a pen | any | win_condition = PART_BREAK;PACIFY, has_nonkill_path unset on the row -- so the kit does not claim one. What it authors is the row's own PACIFY: the station stops because the man who signs for it signs something else. |
CLASS PURITY (tooth T5). Every move above is physical. No element family, no vril
mechanism, no non-ordinary affordance appears in this kit, because this being's own canon
row carries no hollow row, no lore home and nothing that elevates it. It is dangerous the
way the real animal or the real person is dangerous, engineered up until it reads at the
shipped combat camera. TIMID here would mean BORING-PHYSICAL, never insufficiently magical.
| part | moveset subtraction on break | legibility gain | material the economy wants |
|---|---|---|---|
| the searchlight | The Sweep (1) and The Canopy Gap (3)'s pressure both go; the clearing stops being lit | the station's own people start colliding with each other | lamp glass and a lens -- the chapter's optics reagent |
| the alarm line | The Alarm Line (5) and The Raised Tempo (8) lose their trigger | the patrol keeps its original interval, which the player has already solved | wire |
| the apparatus frame | The Machinery Guard (10), The Quota Press (9) and The Apparatus Held (13) all end -- the station stops working | the noise stops, and the difference is audible from the canopy | nothing harvested. win_condition = PART_BREAK: the break IS the win |
| the quota ledger | The Ledger Run (11) and The Bale Fire (12) stop mattering once the record is secured | Dupont stops having anything to burn | the quota record, which names the concession and the men above him |
EG_0170 Sentry-Line Palisade and Patrol Cordon -- BOTH: enemy_usable = TRUE, CONSTRICTION, D1_COLLAPSE armed, transient_combat. The perimeter, and it can come down.EG_0172 Station-Master's Quarters and the Fixed Iron-and-Canvas Fabric -- BOTH: enemy_usable = TRUE, COVER, D1_COLLAPSE. Phase 3's arena.EG_0174 Rubber-Quota Bale Stack and Tapped-Latex Store -- BOTH: enemy_usable = TRUE, COVER, D2_IGNITE, material:raw_latex;fuel:flammable. Ability 12 is THEM arming it.EG_0169 Cut Station Clearing and the Suffocating Day Heat -- BOTH, AND A DECLARED DEFECT: enemy_usable = TRUE with tactical_affordance_class = NONE and attack_verbs = none, the only armable row in the registry that grants no affordance and no verb. This kit uses it as the CONDITION it actually is (ability 7) and boards the incoherence rather than pretending the row is armed -- KIT_SCALING_TABLE 7 carries it for the EG lane.EG_0154 Closed Ituri Canopy Three-Strata Volume -- CARE-BOUND, GEOMETRY ONLY: hard_blocked, HL_0001;HL_0002;HL_0003;HL_0004;HL_0006;HL_0007, enemy_usable = FALSE, attack_verbs = none. Phase 1 happens IN it and it is never cut, burned or collapsed by anyone. The forest is the Efe and Mbuti communities' home and the fight passes through without touching it.| channel | what the player sees or hears |
|---|---|
| posture | he stops standing on the office deck and comes down into the clearing |
| breath | his men's -- the patrol's cadence stops being even, which is the first sign the station is losing |
| vocal | he switches from giving orders to giving names |
| opener | The Sweep is retired at phase 2; The Raised Tempo becomes the opener, and at phase 3 The Imported Telegraph opens with a shape the player already knows |
HE ENTERS from the office deck and never leaves the station. HE RELOCATES between the apparatus and the quarters, which are the two things he actually defends. HE LEAVES by signing. WHAT HE DOES TO THE ARENA: he lit it, cut it, and fenced it before the chapter started, and the encounter is the player taking each of those back.
care_tier = elevated, target_type = colonial_apparatus, threads = T03. MUNDANE: searchlights, carbines and machinery. THE ANTAGONIST IS THE CONCESSION SYSTEM, routed through the apparatus per CVD 17.1 -- the quota ledger (part 4) names the men above him, and the win condition is a part-break and a signature rather than a body. THE ATROCITY IS NOT STAGED AS SPECTACLE: the pressed labour of the Free State rubber system is present as the station's function and its records, never as depicted mutilation, and the chapter's Efe and Mbuti rows are hard_blocked throughout -- their forest, camps, houses and practices are referenced and never entered as combat volumes, never damaged, and never collateral. HL_0001 through HL_0007 bind across EG_0154, EG_0155, EG_0158 and EG_0159.
This kit is authored ONCE, at Fading. The five modulators of KIT_SCALING_TABLE section 4
express it across the ladder: active_ability_set grows upward through reserved follow-ups
on roots the player already learned, window_class tightens, answer_tree_depth prunes
toward the single true answer, hazard_concurrency rises with the arena rows above, and
phase_overlap interleaves the phase cycles. No second kit exists and no number here changes
with the tier.
