FLESHBOUND: The Oceanspire Incident Reports

Oceanspire stands as the last fortified human settlement—an isolated bastion of steel, concrete, and failing systems built to endure extinction. What follows are the Incident Reports: archived records compiled during the current operational timeline, beginning with the arrival of Adam at Pelagia and concluding with the escalation into total war. These documents chronicle containment failures, unauthorized recoveries, emergent morphotype variants, and the widening conflict between Magnus and his engineered forces, set against discarded seed clones and the remaining unmodified survivors. Redacted, fragmented, and often incomplete, the Incident Reports do not exist to preserve truth—only to document what was lost, what was weaponized, and what could no longer be controlled.
