The Salvage Reclamation and Urban Intelligence Cohort (S.R.U.I.C.) is a government-corporate partnership program designed to convert "wiped" individuals—referred to as SR Units—into semi-autonomous contract operatives. Individuals placed into SRUIC have undergone the Neural Erasure & Stabilization Technologies (N.E.S.T.) protocol and are considered property of their assigning corporation for the duration of their indenture.

These cohorts are dispatched across high-risk, low-control zones throughout Neo York Administrative Zone (NYAZ), tasked with objectives ranging from gang disruption and leyline rupture stabilization to artifact retrieval and corporate espionage.

“You’re not employees. You’re assets. Earn your freedom, or burn trying.” — SRUIC Welcome Brief
