KIT_BE_0012_S1 -- Gaspar Ferraz, the factor-captain -- volleys and a cutlass

CANON SUBORDINATION — this document is PROPOSAL-TIER: it serves canon and never outranks it.

The canon: the CVD · the T1 foundation docs · the T0 registries (registries/) · the spine

(docs/spine/CH_*.md) · the region pages (_source/02_Tier_2_Region_Pages/). Authority order: docs/DOC_MAP.md § 0.

Canon served (structural — the registries this kit's canon rows live in, plus its chapter's spine node):

T0_Boss_Encounter_Registry · docs/spine/CH_12.md

READ THAT CANON FIRST — open it and derive from it before you build anything from this document.

If this document disagrees with canon, CANON WINS and this document is the defect — fix the

document, never the canon. Nothing here is applied until it is ratified into canon.

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 bestiary

lane'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.

counter classes	`any`, `cover`, `dodge_only`, `parry_only`, `trigger_interrupt`

Silhouette read. A ship's officer on land, commanding men who are better armed than anyone here.

Opener (MHM-G10, the cheap lesson first). THE PRESENTED LINE -- his musketeers form and do not fire. Free, and it teaches the volley's shape before it costs anything.

phases -- evolve, never swap

phase	name	what it PUSHES (nothing pops)
1	the raid	his line and his crew against a town. Formation fighting.
2	the cornering	`BE_0012_S1`'s evolve-not-swap clause: it TIGHTENS THE VOLLEY WINDOWS AND IMPORTS THE RAID CADENCE.

the kit

#	ability	phase	body origin	tell shape	counter	note
1	The Presented Line	1	the musketeers, formed	they level and hold	`any`
2	The Volley	1	the line, on his word	he raises his hand and the line steadies	`cover`	The row's counter -- 'the musket volley -> hard cover or a dodge-roll'.
3	The Reload	1	the line's own drill	the muskets come down together	`any`	The gap. Free to see, and the whole first phase turns on it.
4	The Cutlass Lunge	1	his own arm, from a seaman's guard	his lead foot slides before his arm moves	`parry_only`	The row's second counter -- 'the cutlass lunge -> a parry-riposte or a stagger-break'.
5	The Boarding Rush	1	his crew, in a wedge	they stop shooting and close in one body	`cover`
6	The Taken Ground	1	the line advancing to the town's first houses	they fire from between buildings instead of open ground	`dodge_only`
7	The Crew's Hesitation	1	a sailor who did not sign for this	one man reloads slower than the drill	`trigger_interrupt`	They are crew, not soldiers, and some of them can be turned.
8	The Tightened Volley	2	the same line, on a shorter count	the muskets come down and go straight back up	`cover`	MHM-G10's variant law: ability 2's root with the reload gap halved.
9	The Imported Cadence	2	his own attacks, on the raid's beat	his lunges arrive on the volley's interval	`parry_only`	PATTERN COUNTER: the read is the interval the player learned in phase 1.
10	The Pistol	2	a belt pistol at contact range	his off hand goes to his belt	`cover`
11	The Back to the Water	2	his own retreat toward the lagoon lane	he gives ground toward the surf	`any`
12	The Struck Colours	2	a sword reversed	the line stops before he does	`any`	`win_condition = REDUCE`. His crew stops first, which is the point.

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 economy -- the three currencies (MHM-G4)

part	moveset subtraction on break	legibility gain	material the economy wants
the line's discipline	The Volley (2), The Tightened Volley (8) and The Presented Line (1) lose their formation	the shots stop being simultaneous	nothing harvested
his cutlass	The Cutlass Lunge (4) and The Imported Cadence (9) lose their instrument	he fights with the pistol alone, which has one shot in it	nothing harvested

the arena, both directions (MHM-G13)

EG_0187 Barracoon Compound Palisade and Holding Yard -- CARE-BOUND, GEOMETRY ONLY: hard_blocked, HL_0001;HL_0003;HL_0006;HL_0109, CONSTRICTION, enemy_usable = TRUE, attack_verbs = none. The holding yard shapes the fight and is NEVER staged as spectacle, never entered as a combat volume, and never described. HL_0109 binds.
EG_0189 Inner Lagoon Lane and Surf Passage -- BOTH: enemy_usable = TRUE, D6_CONDUCT, submersion. His retreat.
EG_0188 Trade-Iron Bar Stock and Ship's Tackle Yard -- BOTH: enemy_usable = TRUE, COVER, D6_CONDUCT, medium:conductive. The hard cover ability 2's counter names.
EG_0185 Surf Beach and Longshore Sand Barrier Crossing -- BOTH: enemy_usable = TRUE, CONSTRICTION, heals_over. The approach.

escalation, announced in the body before the numbers (MHM-G7)

channel	what the player sees or hears
posture	he stops standing behind the line and steps into it
breath	the drill's rhythm goes ragged before he shows anything
vocal	he stops giving the count and starts giving names
opener	The Presented Line is retired; The Cutlass Lunge becomes the opener

turf and relocation (MHM-G8, MHM-G9)

HE ENTERS from the beach with a formed line. HE RELOCATES toward buildings, which is where his volley is worth most. HE LEAVES toward the water. WHAT HE DOES TO THE ARENA: he takes the town's own streets and uses them as firing lanes.

the care read

care_tier = elevated, target_type = oppressor_apparatus. MUNDANE. The barracoon is geometry and never spectacle; the people held in it are never depicted, counted or described, and the encounter's purpose is stopping the raid. The antagonist is the factory system, routed per CVD 17.1; the crew are sailors and some of them stop.

difficulty-mode expression

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.
