Personnel

Dossiers released under provisional clearance. Psychological evaluations, genetic specifications, and post-2262 activity logs are withheld.

CANDIDATE K-01PROVISIONAL

Dani

Candidate, the Kings program

Engineered before she was born to be among humanity's best, and entirely unwilling to accept that as an explanation of who she is. Dani leads by refusing to stop asking the next question.

Status:

Active — cohort lead by evaluation, not appointment

Note:

Evaluators repeatedly flag 'insubordinate curiosity.' No evaluator has recommended removal.

Sealed:

CANDIDATE K-02PROVISIONAL

C.C.

Candidate, the Kings program

Dani's closest friend and sharpest counterweight. Where Dani pushes, C.C. calculates — and when the calculation says no, he says it out loud.

Status:

Active

Note:

Highest analytical scores in cohort. Declines to revise an assessment under pressure from senior staff.

Sealed:

CANDIDATE K-03PROVISIONAL

Sero

Candidate, the Kings program

Quiet, exact, and far harder to read than the training records suggest. Sero notices what the others are too busy to see.

Status:

Active

Note:

Observation-phase records for years 2258–2261 are sealed at Directorate level.

Sealed:

COHORT K-0*PROVISIONAL

The other Kings

Candidate cohort

A cohort raised together, tested together, and ranked against one another. They are friends. They are also, officially, alternatives to one another.

Status:

Active — ranked

Note:

Cohort ranking is disclosed to candidates quarterly. The rationale for this practice is not on file.

Sealed:

DIRECTORATE 01PROVISIONAL

Director Pierce

CROWN civilian leadership

Believes deeply that stability is a moral achievement — and that the people who protect it are permitted a great deal of latitude.

Status:

Serving

Note:

Authored the current disclosure framework. Has personally approved every public statement since 2259.

Sealed:

COMMAND 01PROVISIONAL

General Rourke

CROWN military command

A soldier from the reconstruction who has already watched one world end. He does not intend to be present for the second.

Status:

Serving

Note:

Reconstruction-era service record. Portions predating CROWN are held by national archives.

Sealed:

RESEARCH 01PROVISIONAL

Dr. Sophie Hartmann

Chief scientist, Servator research

The person most willing to say the words 'we do not know' in rooms where that sentence is career-ending.

Status:

Serving

Note:

Three formal dissents filed regarding public characterization of sample analysis results.

Sealed:

SYSTEM — NON-PERSONNELPROVISIONAL

ARI

Artificial intelligence

Helpful, precise, and constitutionally honest — within the boundaries of what ARI has been permitted to know.

Status:

Operational

Note:

Permission boundaries are set by the Directorate. ARI will state that a boundary exists; not what is behind it.
