- NPC dialogues (Ink scripts)
- Environmental storytelling

Dead Drop Integration:

- flag{network_scan_complete} → workstation access
- flag{ftp_intel_gathered} → client codename list
- flag{pricing_intel_decoded} → pricing spreadsheet, LORE 2 access
- flag{distcc_legacy_compromised} → M2 connection reveal, Agent 0x99 "aha moment"

Correlation Matrix:
- FTP banner (VM) "GHOST" ↔ Hex client list "Ransomware Inc" ↔ distcc log "ProFTPD sale"
- ROT13 whiteboard "THE ARCHITECT" ↔ Double-encoded USB "Architect directives"
- Base64 email "$12,500 ProFTPD" ↔ distcc log "ProFTPD sale $12,500" (exact match!)

b5524c784f Add interactive guard with combat options to Mission 2 
Implemented patrolling security guard in hallway_north with multiple
player interaction options including combat/fighting mechanics.

New Features:
1. Interactive Security Guard NPC
   - Patrols hallway_north corridor (4-waypoint route)
   - Line-of-sight detection (150px range, 120° angle)
   - Lockpicking detection (event-triggered confrontation)
   - Visual LOS cone for player awareness

2. Combat/Fighting Options
   Player can choose to physically confront the guard:
   - Knockout punch (quick but risky)
   - Wrestling/grappling (moderate difficulty)
   - Improvised weapon (fire extinguisher)
   - Back down from fight (de-escalation)

   Success depends on influence stat:
   - High influence: Guard knocked out, ~2 min window
   - Low influence: Failed attack, mission compromised

3. Alternative Approaches
   - Social engineering (claim authorization, emergency)
   - Persuasion (explain situation, build rapport)
   - De-escalation (apologize, back down)
   - Avoidance (wait for patrol to pass)

4. Consequences System
   - #hostile tag: Guard calls backup
   - #take_damage: Failed combat consequences
   - #mission_failed: Attacking security = mission end
   - Guard knockout: Time-limited stealth window

Files Added:
- m02_npc_security_guard.ink (500+ lines)
- m02_npc_security_guard.json (compiled)

Files Modified:
- scenario.json.erb:
  - Added interactive guard NPC to hallway_north
  - Patrol behavior with 4 waypoints
  - LOS and lockpicking event detection
  - Global variables: guard_knocked_out, attacked_guard

Validation: ✓ PASSED
- Schema compliant
- JSON valid
- Ink script compiles successfully

Design Notes:
- Based on npc-patrol-lockpick test scenario
- Integrated with M2's hospital crisis context
- Multiple paths support different playstyles
- Combat is high-risk/high-reward option
- Aligns with SAFETYNET Field Rule 7: improvise as needed

1bff51c09e Fix Mission 2 scenario validation errors - JSON now valid ✅ 
Fixed 2 critical issues preventing validation:

1. JSON newline escaping (line 429):
   - Changed: "text": "<%= marcus_warning_email %>"
   - To: "text": <%= marcus_warning_email.to_json %>
   - Root cause: Ruby \n sequences became literal newlines in JSON
   - Fix: .to_json properly escapes strings for JSON format

2. Invalid object type (line 561):
   - Changed: "type": "key_data"
   - To: "type": "notes"
   - Issue: "key_data" not in schema's allowed types
   - Fix: Using "notes" for USB drive with backup encryption keys

Validation Results:
✓ ERB renders successfully
✓ JSON parses without errors
✓ Schema validation PASSED
⚠ 8 non-critical warnings/suggestions (optional enhancements)

Schema validation summary:
- All required fields present
- All object types valid
- Room dimensions compliant
- Connection structure valid
- NPC and item placement correct

Scenario is now ready for testing and implementation!

   - NPC fate tracking (Dr. Kim, Marcus protected/unprotected paths)
   - Ransom choice validation (utilitarian vs consequentialist ethics)
   - Hospital exposure consequences
   - Mission 3 setup (Zero Day Syndicate)
   - The Architect tease

Key Features:
- All scripts follow 3-line dialogue rule for pacing
- Hub patterns for replayable conversations
- Trust/influence systems for NPCs
- Proper #exit_conversation tags
- Variable tracking for choice callbacks
- External variable integration
- Event-triggered knot support
- Moral complexity without "right" answers

3d65114fa5 Add Mission 2 Stages 5-6: Room Layout and LORE Fragments 
Stage 5 - Room Layout and Spatial Design:
- Hospital floor plan with 7 rooms (hub-and-spoke layout)
- 3 locked doors with progressive difficulty (easy → medium → medium-hard)
- 60-second guard patrol with predictable waypoints
- Detailed container placement (11 total containers)
- PIN puzzle design with multiple clues and fallback device
- Server Room as central hub for VM/encoding challenges
- Multiple solution paths for player agency

Stage 6 - LORE Fragments:
- Fragment 1: Ghost's Manifesto (VM discovery, patient death calculations)
- Fragment 2: CryptoSecure Services (filing cabinet, front company operations)
- Fragment 3: ZDS Invoice (safe puzzle, exploit procurement and cross-cell coordination)
- Campaign connections to M3 (Zero Day Syndicate) and M6 (Crypto Anarchists)
- The Architect coordination role revealed

These planning documents complete the foundational design for Mission 2
"Ransomed Trust" room layout, spatial design, and narrative LORE integration.

7c175d6b2f Complete Mission 2 'Ransomed Trust' Stages 0-4 development 
Stage 0: Scenario Initialization
- Complete mission overview with hospital ransomware crisis
- Ransomware Incorporated cell integration
- Hybrid architecture plan (VM ProFTPD exploitation + ERB narrative)
- Concrete stakes: 47 patients, 12-hour deadline, $87K ransom
- Ghost as true believer antagonist (calculated patient deaths)
- 3 LORE fragments planned (manifesto, CryptoSecure, ZDS invoice)

Stage 1: Narrative Structure
- Complete 3-act structure (18 scenes)
- Act 1: Infiltration (Dr. Kim, Marcus, guard tutorial)
- Act 2: Exploitation (VM challenges, safe puzzle, LORE discoveries)
- Act 3: Impossible choices (ransom dilemma, hospital exposure)
- Emotional beat timeline with intensity mapping
- Tutorial integration for new mechanics (guards, PIN safe, ROT13)

Stage 2: Character Development
- Dr. Sarah Kim: Desperate CTO with guilt over budget cuts
- Marcus Webb: Defensive IT admin, scapegoat victim
- Ghost: Unrepentant ENTROPY operative, true believer
- Agent 0x99: Supportive handler, growing ENTROPY concern
- Voice examples with 3-line dialogue rule
- Character arcs defined (Marcus varies by player choice)

Stage 3: Moral Choices and Consequences
- Choice 1: Marcus trust building (sympathize/professional/blame)
- Choice 2: Marcus protection (warn/plant evidence/ignore)
- Choice 3: Ransom payment (pay/independent recovery) - NO RIGHT ANSWER
- Choice 4: Hospital exposure (public/quiet) - transparency vs pragmatism
- Optional: Ghost confrontation (argue/acknowledge/silent)
- All choices have meaningful campaign consequences (M6 financial trail)
- Utilitarian vs Consequentialist ethical frameworks
- Debrief variations reflect all choices (4 ransom+exposure combos)

Stage 4: Player Objectives and Tasks
- 5 required aims, 3 optional aims
- 23 required tasks, 4 optional tasks (27 total)
- Hybrid objectives: VM flag submissions + in-game tasks
- Success tiers: 60% minimal, 80% standard, 100% perfect
- Progressive unlocking validated (no soft locks)
- Ink tag integration (#complete_task, #unlock_aim, #give_item)
- Optional achievements: Ghost Hunter, Code Breaker, Ethical Hacker

Technical Challenges (Detailed Breakdown):
- New mechanics: Patrolling guards (60s predictable), PIN safe puzzle
- Reinforced mechanics: Lockpicking (4 doors), social engineering, Base64
- New encoding: ROT13 (Caesar cipher introduction)
- VM: ProFTPD CVE-2010-4652 exploitation, SSH brute force, Linux nav
- CyBOK coverage: Malware, Incident Response, Cryptography, Human Factors

Key Design Decisions:
- Ransom dilemma has no 'right' answer (both ethically valid)
- Ghost remains unrepentant (true believer, no redemption arc)
- Marcus's fate controllable by player (justice possible)
- Guard patrols beginner-friendly (forgiving, predictable, alternate paths)
- PIN puzzle accessible (multiple clues, hint system, fallback device)
- Campaign integration: M3 ZDS connection, M6 financial trail

Ready for Stage 5: Room Layout Design
