+// ===========================================
+
+=== briefing_main ===
+#speaker:agent_0x99
+
+Agent 0x99: Pacific Northwest Regional Water Treatment Facility. ENTROPY cell called "Critical Mass."
+
+Agent 0x99: They've infiltrated the facility under cover as maintenance contractors—OptiGrid Solutions.
+
+Agent 0x99: Three operatives compromised the SCADA network controlling chemical dosing systems.
+
+Agent 0x99: 240,000 residents drink that water.
+
+* [Ask about the chemical threat]
+    ~ knows_full_threat = true
+    ~ handler_trust += 5
+    You: Chemical dosing—what's the threat?
+    -> chemical_threat_explanation
+
+* [Ask about Critical Mass]
+    ~ knows_entropy_cell = true
+    You: Critical Mass—what do we know about them?
+    -> critical_mass_explanation
+
+* [Ask about timeline]
+    You: Do we have a timeline for the attack?
+    -> timeline_explanation
+
+=== chemical_threat_explanation ===
+#speaker:agent_0x99
+
+Agent 0x99: Chlorine dosing. Normally safe at 0.5-1.0 ppm for disinfection.
+
+Agent 0x99: They've installed bypass devices on three dosing stations. Remote trigger ready.
+
+Agent 0x99: If they activate it—chlorine concentration spikes to 15+ ppm.
+
+Agent 0x99: Acute chlorine poisoning. Respiratory failure. Mass casualties.
+
++ [That's horrifying]
+    ~ handler_trust += 5
+    You: We have to stop them before they trigger it.
+    Agent 0x99: Exactly. That's the priority.
+    -> mission_stakes
+
++ [What's their motive?]
+    You: Why attack water infrastructure?
+    -> entropy_ideology
+
++ {not knows_entropy_cell} [Who is Critical Mass?]
+    ~ knows_entropy_cell = true
+    -> critical_mass_explanation
+
+=== critical_mass_explanation ===
+#speaker:agent_0x99
+
+Agent 0x99: Critical Mass—ENTROPY cell specializing in infrastructure attacks.
+
+Agent 0x99: Power grids, water systems, transportation. They target critical lifelines.
+
+Agent 0x99: Ideologically motivated. They want to prove society's infrastructure is fragile.
+
+Agent 0x99: Leader goes by "Voltage." Former power grid engineer. Brilliant and dangerous.
+
++ [Understood. What's the plan?]
+    -> mission_objectives
+
++ {not knows_full_threat} [What's the threat to the water supply?]
+    ~ knows_full_threat = true
+    ~ handler_trust += 5
+    -> chemical_threat_explanation
+
+=== timeline_explanation ===
+#speaker:agent_0x99
+
+Agent 0x99: Intercepted encrypted traffic shows attack scheduled for 0800 local time.
+
+Agent 0x99: You've got a window, but it's tight. They're prepared for interference.
+
+Agent 0x99: Three operatives on-site: codenames Cipher, Relay, and Static. Plus Voltage.
+
++ [Four hostiles. Will I need to engage?]
+    ~ combat_ready = true
+    ~ handler_trust += 10
+    You: Four armed operatives. Should I expect combat?
+    -> combat_warning
+
++ [Understood. What's my cover?]
+    -> cover_identity_explanation
+
+=== combat_warning ===
+#speaker:agent_0x99
+
+Agent 0x99: Yes. This is your first mission with hostile ENTROPY operatives.
+
+Agent 0x99: They're not amateurs. Cipher guards the treatment floor. Relay patrols chemical storage.
+
+Agent 0x99: Static and Voltage are in the maintenance wing—final defensive position.
+
+Agent 0x99: You can go stealth, but if compromised, you'll need to fight.
+
+Agent 0x99: I've authorized you for lethal force if necessary. But capture Voltage if possible—he knows things.
+
++ [I'm ready for combat]
+    ~ handler_trust += 15
+    ~ player_approach = "tactical"
+    You: I understand. Neutralize threats, prioritize Voltage's capture if possible.
+    Agent 0x99: Good. That's the right mindset.
+    -> mission_objectives
+
++ [I'll try stealth first]
+    ~ player_approach = "methodical"
+    You: I'll avoid combat where possible. Smarter to stay undetected.
+    Agent 0x99: Smart. But be prepared—they're expecting interference.
+    -> mission_objectives
+
+=== entropy_ideology ===
+#speaker:agent_0x99
+
+Agent 0x99: ENTROPY believes society's infrastructure is built on exploitable vulnerabilities.
+
+Agent 0x99: They demonstrate this through attacks. Water, power, transit—all "critical points of failure."
+
+Agent 0x99: It's ideological terrorism disguised as activism. They claim they're exposing systemic weaknesses.
+
+Agent 0x99: But people die. That's what makes them dangerous.
+
++ [Twisted logic]
+    ~ handler_trust += 5
+    You: They're rationalizing murder as a public service.
+    Agent 0x99: Exactly. Don't let their rhetoric confuse you.
+    -> mission_stakes
+
+=== cover_identity_explanation ===
+#speaker:agent_0x99
+
+Agent 0x99: Your cover: state EPA auditor conducting a surprise regulatory inspection.
+
+Agent 0x99: Forged credentials in your phone. Facility manager is Robert Chen—he's expecting an auditor today.
+
+Agent 0x99: Use the cover to get inside. Chen doesn't know about the threat yet.
+
++ [Should I tell Chen the truth?]
+    You: Once I'm inside, should I brief the facility manager?
+    -> chen_briefing_advice
+
++ [Understood. Once inside?]
+    -> mission_objectives
+
+=== chen_briefing_advice ===
+#speaker:agent_0x99
+
+Agent 0x99: Your call. Chen's a career engineer—safety-focused, competent.
+
+Agent 0x99: If you reveal the truth, he'll cooperate fully. SCADA expertise could help.
+
+Agent 0x99: But operational security risk. If operatives monitor him, cover's blown.
+
+Agent 0x99: I trust your judgment. You'll know when it's safe.
+
++ [I'll decide based on the situation]
+    ~ handler_trust += 10
+    ~ player_approach = "methodical"
+    You: I'll assess Chen in person before deciding.
+    Agent 0x99: Good tactical thinking.
+    -> mission_objectives
+
+=== mission_stakes ===
+#speaker:agent_0x99
+
+Agent 0x99: This isn't just about stopping an attack.
+
+Agent 0x99: Intelligence suggests Critical Mass is coordinating with another ENTROPY cell—Social Fabric.
+
+Agent 0x99: Simultaneous infrastructure strikes across the region.
+
+Agent 0x99: We think someone's coordinating multiple cells. Call sign "The Architect."
+
+Agent 0x99: Capture Voltage, and we might get answers about this larger network.
+
++ [Understood. Multiple priorities]
+    ~ handler_trust += 10
+    You: Stop the attack, capture Voltage if possible, gather intelligence on The Architect.
+    Agent 0x99: Exactly. In that order.
+    -> mission_objectives
+
++ [The Architect?]
+    You: The Architect is coordinating all ENTROPY cells?
+    Agent 0x99: We think so. But we need proof. Voltage might have it.
+    -> mission_objectives
+
+// ===========================================
+// MISSION OBJECTIVES
+// ===========================================
+
+=== mission_objectives ===
+#speaker:agent_0x99
+
+Agent 0x99: Here's the mission breakdown:
+
+Agent 0x99: One—infiltrate the facility using your EPA auditor cover.
+
+Agent 0x99: Two—investigate the SCADA network. Identify how they compromised it.
+
+Agent 0x99: Three—neutralize the attack threat. Disable all attack vectors: physical bypass devices, SCADA malware, remote trigger.
+
+Agent 0x99: Four—capture or eliminate ENTROPY operatives. Voltage is the priority for intelligence.
+
+Agent 0x99: VM access is set up for SCADA network investigation. Submit flags to the drop-site terminal.
+
+* [All clear. I'm moving out]
+    ~ handler_trust += 10
+    You: Understood. Infiltrate, investigate, neutralize, capture. Moving out now.
+    Agent 0x99: Stay sharp. These operatives are prepared.
+    -> mission_departure
+
+* [Ask about backup]
+    You: What if I need backup?
+    -> backup_explanation
+
+* [Clarify priority: attack vs. capture]
+    You: If I have to choose—stop the attack or capture Voltage?
+    -> priority_clarification
+
+=== backup_explanation ===
+#speaker:agent_0x99
+
+Agent 0x99: You're solo on this one. Local authorities can't be briefed—security risk.
+
+Agent 0x99: But Robert Chen can assist once you establish trust. He knows the systems.
+
+Agent 0x99: I'm monitoring remotely. Call if you need strategic guidance.
+
+Agent 0x99: This is on you. I trust you can handle it.
+
++ [I can handle it]
+    ~ handler_trust += 15
+    ~ player_approach = "confident"
+    You: Solo insertion. I've got this.
+    Agent 0x99: That's what I like to hear.
+    -> mission_departure
+
++ [I'll make it work]
+    ~ handler_trust += 5
+    You: Understood. I'll adapt as needed.
+    -> mission_departure
+
+=== priority_clarification ===
+#speaker:agent_0x99
+
+Agent 0x99: Attack prevention is absolute priority. 240,000 lives.
+
+Agent 0x99: Capture Voltage if you can—intelligence value is enormous.
+
+Agent 0x99: But if he threatens to trigger the attack, stop him by any means necessary.
+
+Agent 0x99: Lives first. Intelligence second.
+
++ [Understood. Lives first]
+    ~ handler_trust += 10
+    You: Attack prevention is priority one. Got it.
+    Agent 0x99: Good.
+    -> mission_departure
+
+=== mission_departure ===
+#speaker:agent_0x99
+
+Agent 0x99: Facility is 20 minutes out. Security checkpoint will ask for credentials.
+
+Agent 0x99: Present your EPA badge. Act like a routine surprise inspection.
+
+Agent 0x99: {combat_ready: Combat may be unavoidable. Stay tactical.| Stay alert. ENTROPY's waiting.}
+
+Agent 0x99: Good luck, {player_name()}. Bring those operatives down.
