Field Glossary

The working vocabulary of the Flood Wards.

FICTION // DOSSIER
body green armor is an original fictional persona — not a real person, not a real unit. Transmissions, the timeline, and the mission stories on this site are written lore for the character.

Ping

A distress call routed through Relay. 412 answered, zero missed — the standing record.

The Protocol

Four rules: answer every ping · no one left behind · helmet stays on · home to the Gantry.

VERDANT-7

The suit: olive-drab exosuit, hazard-orange visor stripe, faceless helmet. Built from decommissioned harbor rigs — see The Forge.

The Green Line

The nightly patrol circuit through the Flood Wards — same order, same pace, every night.

The Gantry

The maintenance bay under the old transit depot. The armor's home; Wrench's domain.

Maintenance rites

The post-patrol service ritual: washdown, actuator check, star count. Never skipped.

Chalk star

Pip's mark, left everywhere the armor works. 300+ on the suit. Never wiped off.

Floodline

The high-water mark of a surge — and the armor's wading route through the underpasses.

Relay

The dispatch voice. Routes every ping, logs every word, ends night shifts with “armor's got it.”

Standby

The armor's resting state: rooftop, helipad, or Gantry — visor dimmed, listening.

After-action

The debrief: what the ping cost, what the Wards learned. See After-Action.

Quiet night

Dispatcher slang for a shift with no pings — credited, always, to the armor's patrol.
