Timeline
Three years. Four hundred and twelve pings answered. Zero missed.
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.
Year One — 02:14 (story date)
The First Ping
The Meridian Overpass collapses in a storm surge. Something olive-drab walks out of the rain, lifts a bus axle, carries two kids to the high-water mark. Relay logs: “02:24 — something answered.”
Year One — Week Two
The Chalk Star
A kid named Pip chalks a star on the armor's shoulder plate after a canal rescue. The armor never wipes it off. There are now 300+ stars across the suit.
Year One — Month Three
The Gantry
Wrench — harbor mechanic — finds the armor waiting outside her depot at dawn, one actuator blown. She doesn't ask questions. She builds the maintenance bay. The rites begin.
Year One — Storm Season
The Nursery Evacuation
Flood Wards nursery floods at night. The armor wades in eleven times — eleven children, eleven trips, waist-deep. Longest single-mission log: six hours.
Year Two — Spring
The Green Line
The patrol route becomes formal: a nightly circuit through the Flood Wards, same order, same pace. Dispatchers start ending shifts with “armor's got it.”
Year Two — Summer
The Ferry in the Storm
A harbor ferry loses power in a squall. The armor holds the gangway cable for forty minutes while passengers cross — then vanishes before the harbor authority arrives.
Year Two — Autumn
Ibarra's Question
Captain Ibarra asks, once, who's inside the helmet. The visor turns. Silence. She files it as “intent unknown, conduct exemplary” and never asks again.
Year Two — Winter
The Beacon Night
City-wide blackout. The armor plants emergency beacons at seventeen intersections, one by one, all night. The Wards navigate by orange light.
Year Three — Spring
Ping 300
Relay logs the 300th answered ping: a collapsed scaffolding, two workers. The armor's radio check, all eleven words: “On scene. Two souls. Scaffold stable. Stand by.”
Year Three — Storm Season
The Nineteen-Hour Shift
Worst surge in a decade. The armor works nineteen hours, floodline to dawn. Wrench threatens to lock the Gantry to make it stand down. It stands down.
Year Three — Now
Ping 412
The record stands: 412 pings answered, zero missed. Tonight's patrol leaves at dusk, same order, same pace. The chalk stars are fresh.
