Unmasking Cassien

Rank: B
Client: Seraphine Valden, Head of Cybersecurity for Argentum Prime™.

Following the Registry's previous investigation into Lady Mierelle Dorne's identity theft, new developments have forced Argentum Prime™ and High City authorities to escalate the case. A rogue, evolving presence has been detected within High City's digital infrastructure, manipulating security protocols and rewriting identity verifications at will.

Though its true nature remains uncertain, the findings from the Registry's earlier work led to the designation of this case as Case Cassien. Conventional cybersecurity forces have failed to contain the anomaly, as firewalls, countermeasures, and standard protocols seem irrelevant to its methods.

Recognizing that traditional approaches are ineffective, Seraphine Valden has reluctantly turned to the Registry for assistance. This mission is not just about eliminating a digital threat—it is a test of the Registry's competence in High City. A failure here could permanently damage its credibility among the city's most powerful institutions.

Argentum Prime™'s Cybersecurity have recently traced Cassien's signal to the Unregulated Socio-Economic Risk Area—the "Graffiti Yards," a low-infrastructure sector suited to a decisive ambush.

Your objectives are to intercept Cassien inside the Unregulated Socio-Economic Risk Area, deny any attempt to purge local registries or open an escape route, and neutralize it in-sector before it can flee.
