INTERCEPTED.

A playable interface is currently under construction. Not a prototype. A fully structured runtime designed to carry the Codex, field operatives, transmissions, and classified entity encounters into an interactive format.

Phase 7I represents advanced systems validation: scenario stress-testing, narrative branch integrity, and signal-path verification across controlled environments.

Current priority remains containment. All game-facing systems are source-locked to confirmed canon. No unauthorized lore injection. No speculative branching.

The novel form of ANIMA.EXE: The Null Gospel is now executed as two coordinated volumes — eight acts total, one continuous narrative. Volume I ends at the last credible point where the principal characters can believe they have escaped the full cost of what has occurred. Volume II reveals the cost concealed beneath that restoration.

Volume I contains Part Zero and Acts I through IV. Volume II contains Acts V through VIII, closing on BREAK AWAY as the terminal act.

Both volumes are intended to publish as a coordinated pair under a shared title architecture. Screen adaptations remain parallel executions — not bound to volume or act boundaries, but bound to canon events, causal logic, character arcs, cosmology, reversals, sacrificial logic, and terminal outcomes.
