Rule 1: The "Spike" Protocol (Never Leave a Human Behind)

If a fellow Raider is pinned, you provide cover. If they are downed, you attempt a revive. We do not "wait for the dust to settle" to loot our own. If you have a clear path to extraction and your teammate doesn't, you stay until they do, or you die trying.

Rule 2: No Victimless Crimes

Scavenging is about taking from the machines, not from each other. If you see another Raider's cache, you move on. Stealing a man's hard-earned scrap while he's busy fighting a Wasp swarm is the fastest way to get your face on a "Wanted" poster in the Nexus.

Rule 3: Radio Silence is Golden

In a world full of Snitch Drones, your voice is a beacon. If you're teaming up, keep the chatter to tactical essentials. If I'm filming, stay out of the shot unless you've got something worth saying. The ARC listens to the "noise" of humanity; don't give them a reason to tune in.

Rule 4: Identify Before You Ignite

Trigger-happy Raiders are a danger to everyone. Before you open fire near an extraction zone, make sure you aren't shooting at a solo scavenger trying to slip home. We are all on the same side of the extinction event. Save your lead for the chrome.

Rule 5: Respect the "Press"

I am here to document the truth. If you see the Speranza Sentinel badge or a man with a lens instead of a barrel pointed at you, hold your fire. I don't take sides in petty squabbles, but I record everything. If you act like a hero, the world will know. If you act like a savage, the world will know that, too.

Rule 6: The "Stupidity" Tax

If you fail an extraction because you were being greedy or forgot to check your six, own it. Don't blame your squad, and don't blame the gear. Learn, adapt, and don't make the same stupid mistake twice. Spike didn't die so you could be careless.
