Welcome to the [Crossfire Area]. Your arrival will add to the strength of our forces on the entire border battlefront.

However, please keep in mind that the [Crossfire Area] is the most dangerous place on the battlefront, so make sure you obey the following rules while operating here.

(Some of the rules may be contradictory. Decide which to follow depending on your situation.)

Attention: Following the rules isn't just for the sake of your own personal safety; breaking them can affect the battle progress of the entire [Crossfire Area], so please practice caution.

1. Remember your duty as a Sanctifier. Every Sanctifier who enters the Crossfire Area must store all information concerning their [self-awareness] and [mission objectives] in all systems that support data storage. Information should be stored in all four of the following formats: text, audio, images, and converted codes, and is to be inspected every six standard time units to ensure that all information stored in your internal systems is consistent. If there are inconsistencies, use [Seal Module] immediately and select [Cognitive Anomaly].
Note: Each Sanctifier is allocated a different encoding format before entering the [Crossfire Area]. This encoding format is important for determining if your information stamp has been tampered with. Exchanging encoding formats with other Sanctifiers is strictly prohibited.

2. There is no complete or discernible behavior logic in the Tartarus Sector. Do not try to analyze it or draw any conclusions in the [Crossfire Area]. Any attempt to explore knowledge in the [Crossfire Area] is highly dangerous. Please limit the use of—or simply shut down—the corresponding modules (if you are equipped with them).

3. The Sanctifiers have full authority in the Tartarus Sector. Simply follow the rules listed in the "Border Battlefront Sanctifier Rulebook" when in the Tartarus Sector. Everything, unless explicitly prohibited, is permissible.

4. Sanctifiers only communicate with each other via a single language system. If a fellow Sanctifier attempts to communicate with you in another language that does not match your allocated encoding format, cleanse it immediately.

5. When carrying out a group mission, ensure you stay within 500 yards or visual range of the Sanctifier who has been designated as the [mission beacon]. Sanctifiers who break this rule will be flagged as hostile units by the [mission beacon].

6. Distress calls do not warrant a mandatory response in the [Crossfire Area]. Any request for aid could originate from entities that are not Sanctifiers. All Sanctifiers who are not on a [rescue mission] must remain vigilant whenever they receive a distress call.

7. Do not interact with Sanctifiers who did not enter the [Crossfire Area] at the same time as you. If a Sanctifier seems unusually eager to interact, cleanse it.

8. If you encounter a Greater Sanctifier while carrying out a mission and receive a new order from them, please randomly generate a snippet of your mission brief and commit their subsequent directives to memory. Then, resume your initial mission.

9. There are no Sanctifier outposts within the [Crossfire Area]. If your visual system displays [Watchtowers] and [Acropolises], record the locations in codes and leave immediately.

10. There are no supply points in the [Crossfire Area]. All Sanctifiers entering the [Crossfire Area] are allocated double the standard operand rations. If you are running low on operands, use [Seal Module] immediately and select [Supply Anomaly].

11. If you have broken any of the rules above, use [Seal Module] immediately and select [Behavioral Anomaly], then follow the generated route and retreat to the corresponding outpost.

12. When you arrive at the outpost, do not acknowledge them as long as they do not attack you, no matter what you see there. Do not interact with them in any capacity. Do not log any information.
Wait at the outpost for 1-3 standard time units until the entry refreshes with new instructions, then follow said instructions and act accordingly.

13. If any entities within the outpost try to impede you after the update, cleanse them.

14. If you receive no updated instructions after waiting for 3 standard time units, leave the outpost immediately and ensure that [Safe Distance]—listed at the bottom of [Behavioral Anomaly]—is checked, then proceed to cleanse yourself.

15. If you encounter any Sanctifier (Greater Sanctifiers included) who has broken the rules but does not intend on using [Seal Module], cleanse it.
