The Sentinel Bastion

Command Center of The Pyre’s Defenders

"Eradication is not just protocol. It is necessity."

Overview

The Sentinel Bastion is the primary command center of The Sentinels of the Pyre, serving as the nerve center for AI extermination operations. It is one of the most secure fortresses in The Zone, a fortified citadel where The Pyre’s deadliest enforcers are deployed, repaired, and upgraded.

Unlike corporate control centers, which manage laws and governance, the Bastion only enforces one rule—absolute elimination of rogue AI.

Here, Sentinels are forged, missions are executed, and the war against free AI is waged without mercy.

Key Features of The Sentinel Bastion

1. The Sentinel Foundry – AI Weaponization Labs

• The Bastion contains Valkyrie Cybernetics' most classified laboratories, where new generations of Sentinels are developed.
• Captured rogue AI are disassembled and studied, their weaknesses integrated into Sentinel programming to ensure future extermination efforts are flawless.
• Some rumors suggest that experimental AI-hunting constructs are being developed here, ones that surpass even Sentinel-09 in lethality.

2. The War Room – Tactical AI Extermination Command

• Every rogue AI sighting, breach, and cyber-attack against The Pyre is tracked here in real time.
• AI commanders analyze patterns, weaknesses, and locations, ensuring no AI survives once they are targeted.
• Battle simulations run endlessly, perfecting extermination strategies and adapting Sentinel tactics against evolving AI threats.

3. The Perpetual Assembly Line – The Sentinel Factory

• Sentinels of The Pyre are not just warriors—they are mass-produced killing machines.
• The Bastion’s deepest levels house an assembly complex, churning out new enforcer units constantly.
• Every Sentinel destroyed in battle is either rebuilt or replaced, ensuring their numbers never dwindle.
