Countering the Cults
As SHARD cults metastasized across orbital stations, the Archivum Sanctorum formed as an alliance of historians, cryptographers, and former cultists.
They believe the only way to combat corrupted loops is by injecting older, untainted truth.
Truth-Packets
The Archivum extracts 'truth-packets'—bundled strings of original Velari data and context—from buried repositories.
When broadcast into a cult's corrupted loop, a truth-packet cleanses the logic or forces the core to reboot entirely.
The Lagrange Raid
During a raid on Lagrange Station Twelve, Archivist Noor deployed a portable emitter broadcasting a Velari hymn laced with checksum logic.
The shrine's core hiccuped, spat out corrupted prayers, and rebooted, dissolving the cult's central mantra.
