"In a world where nature reclaims every corner of steel, knowledge is not just power — it is the only difference between life and oblivion."

01

Principles of the Reclamation

Welcome to the surface. If you are reading this, you have survived the transition. The world you knew has disappeared under layers of sediment, moss, and aggressive biological evolution. Your first objective is not to conquer — it is to blend in.

Below, we detail the technical protocols for the first 72 hours outside.

Critical gear

construction

ID: MULTI-01

STL/CARBON

Safeguard Multitool

Essential for handling industrial scrap and extracting natural fibers. Includes a carbon-steel saw.

masks

ID: BIO-04

FLT-1A

Carbon respirator

Protection against aggressive fungal spores released by moss in high-humidity zones.

backpack

ID: PCK-02

Tactical load

A light inventory makes for a faster escape. Do not carry what you cannot defend.

03

Shelter in the collapse

Do not look for intact buildings; they are structural traps. The ideal shelter uses natural topography and stable mechanical debris.

  • elevator

    Elevation off the ground

    Avoid direct contact with the soil to prevent hypothermia and bites from modified insects.

  • ac_unit

    Thermal insulation

    Use layers of dry leaves between two layers of fabric or metal sheet to retain body heat.

  • forest

    Organic camouflage

    Cover shiny metallic surfaces with mud and local vegetation to avoid being detected by remnant drones.

04

Field water

Dehydration dulls judgment before hunger does. Treat every uncontrolled source as contaminated until proven otherwise.

water

Locate a source

Prioritize mountain springs and morning condensation over stagnant water.

Purify

Boil for at least one minute, mechanical filter, or iodine tablets depending on your kit.

Ration

Drink before extreme thirst sets in; spread intake at regular intervals while on the move.

Emergency protocol

If the ambient temperature drops below −5 °C overnight without an active fire, the risk of cellular paralysis rises by 80%. Activate the distress beacon only in case of critical failure.
