Internal consistency
Compare times, places, relationships, terminology, and claims against known records.
Disclosed synthetic sources
A source can be wrong.
The server cannot pretend it was true.
AI characters may report, remember, infer, omit, misunderstand, or deceive as part of a fictional intelligence operation. Generated language never creates authoritative mission facts, rewards, access, evidence, or irreversible outcomes.
Four separate layers
Dialogue is not
game authority.
Persona, memory, reporting, and world state remain different systems.
PersonaVoice, manner, institutional role, motivations, and disclosed synthetic identity.
MemoryReviewed continuity scoped to the correct relationship, operation, and classification boundary.
ReportingGenerated statements that can be accurate, mistaken, incomplete, biased, or intentionally deceptive.
World truthServer-owned facts, access, inventories, evidence, rewards, and mission outcomes.
Source evaluation
Unreliable reporting needs
detectable reasons.
Players should be able to understand why a synthetic source may be unreliable: limited access, stale memory, conflicting tasking, source motive, model degradation, adversarial input, or deliberate deception. Random unmarked fabrication is not fair intelligence gameplay.
Technical integrity
Check metadata, channel behavior, retrieval context, version, and whether the communication path was altered.
Why the source is reporting
Assess institutional pressure, self-protection, reward, fear, access, and desired effect without treating behavior as infallible lie detection.
World corroboration
Compare the claim with observations, imagery, records, other sources, and actual server-owned mission state.
Source verification exercise
Broker claims a convoy departs Sector 12 at 04:20 UTC.
Run the available checks. The exercise demonstrates uncertainty and corroboration; it does not expose a real target or real-world method.
ASSESSMENT PENDING0 / 4 checks complete
Do not convert a plausible narrative into an authoritative mission fact.
Fail-forward rule
A false report still
changes the operation.
Discovering that a synthetic source was wrong can reveal a compromised channel, stale dataset, adversarial prompt, institutional conflict, deception campaign, or collection gap. The player may lose time or access, but the result should create actionable fictional intelligence rather than an arbitrary empty quest.
