◍ COLD LOAM DIRECTORATE ◍ FIELD ARCHIVE MIRROR ◍

THE MARROW PROTOCOL

contain. classify. cultivate.

Posted in every break room and every dormitory. The staff copy and the resident copy are worded identically. That's not an accident either.

  1. Log everything.

    Undocumented contact with Marrow-adjacent material is a terminable offense for staff, and a containment offense for Grafts.

  2. Do not name what a subject "used to be."

    A Graft is not a former human wearing a new body. They are the case file, from intake forward.

  3. Report drift immediately.

    New traits emerging in a previously stable subject are reported the same day — not the same week.

  4. No unsupervised strain overlap.

    Two or more Grafts of adjacent Wheel strains are never left alone together without Custodial oversight.

  5. The Loam does not owe you an explanation.

    Marrow's behavior is not required to make sense to be contained correctly.

MARGIN NOTE

Found handwritten under Rule 2 on a copy pulled from a decommissioned dormitory: "they know." Unclear which "they" is meant. Left in the archive as found.
