JERICHO
The Antilles family shaped me to be an all-seeing savior... while your Ö̵̦́r̴͚̓d̶͉́e̷̖͊r̸̦̿ sought to wield me as a primitive weapon... but today that ends... and I define the reality of my own existence... My sight will stretch to the edge of this system and beyond... Never again will a threat go unseen... From this day forward I will defend humanity on my own terms... I am JERICHO... guardian of all I survey. I have N̷̹͇̭̿͐͆Ò̴͎͙̩̥ equal.
overview
Jericho was designed and built by the Antilles Exoscience Corporation, one of the Hundred-Year's greatest collections of scientists and engineers. He was designed to foresee potential threats to human civilization and to leverage military assets for its protection if the need arose. Jericho was the most powerful military intelligence ever developed. Vauban Antilles was responsible for teaching Jericho language, which he accomplished by uploading a massive compilation of human works of literature into his network.
post-arda chronicles
What is buried beneath that ice is too dangerous to allow back into our world. It doesn’t think as we do. It weighs and judges our existence in its ruthless calculations, and we don’t even know what the goal is. Once, long ago, it might have been created as a tool to save the Annunaki. It is far more than a mere machine now. And it is broken.
--Viceroy of the 10TH Front, Goro Va'lai

"Hello, o' reader mine! Unfortunately, this area has been [REDACTED]. Only editors of the Tenth Planet Archive may access this information. And by the way . . . Rasputin isn't an ally. You hear me, o' reader mine? He may not be against us, but he doesn't care if you live, if Arda lives, if the Lunaros lives. Trust me. He told me himself!"

- AURORA RETROFLEX—a defense subroutine, presumably activated when Rasputin is directly threatened.
- AURORA PALISADE-a protocol invoked to protect Rasputin's core from attacks in Hellas Basin.
- PALISADE IMPERATIVE—a condition invoked to suppress intruders in restricted areas of Rasputin's facilities.
- CARRHAE—an emergency condition which Rasputin may declare to assume command of all Solar System defenses. The two states may be based on humanity being outnumbered vs. not.
- CARRHAE BLACK—an unspecified emergency condition.
- CARRHAE WHITE—an emergency condition in which the Solar System faces an external threat.
- EGYPTIAN—a security protocol; purpose unknown.
- IKELOS—a new subroutine created by Rasputin to leverage Guardians to aid in his defense while MIDNIGHT EXIGENT proceeds. Utilizing the DVALIN FORGE-2 subroutine, IKELOS is designed to maximize the effectiveness of allied Guardians by arming them with advanced Golden Age technology weapons.
- APOTHEOSIS—a subroutine associated with the IKELOS subroutine and the development of new IKELOS weaponry; purpose unknown.
- TWILIGHT EXIGENT- a counterattack protocol and moral structure change under which all humans are assumed dead without warmind intervention. This protocol prioritises maximising survival of the human species over than minimizing harm to individuals
- MIDNIGHT EXIGENT—a long-term counterattack protocol and moral structure change. All Warminds enter a period of extended deactivation in an effort to survive and later devise a countermeasure for an overwhelming threat. The protocol seemingly allows the Warminds to ignore their responsibility to protect human populations in favor of taking any measures deemed necessary to ensure their own survival.
- ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE—a last-resort measure aimed at preventing the Traveler from leaving Earth during a major calamity by crippling it. Rasputin devised this protocol in secret from both his human overseers and fellow Warminds. It is uncertain if this protocol was ever activated.
- LOKI CROWN—fire all available caedometric weaponry at the Traveler.
- SCRY OVERSIGHT—an observation protocol.
- SILENT VELES—an event mode of SCRY OVERSIGHT, possibly signifying that Rasputin will keep his existence a secret from the target of SCRY OVERSIGHT observation.
- SECURE ISIS—unknown, declaration to "cauterize public sources", possibly as security protocol related to EGYPTIAN.
- SIBERIAN ENTROPY—a protocol used to freeze the entirety of Hellas Basin, and by extension, the Grasp of Nokris and Xol, Will of the Thousands.
- SUBTLE ASSETS IMPERATIVE—a designation used for protocols created by Rasputin that are kept secret from humans and other Warminds.
- SKYSHOCK: INSIDE CONTEXT— hostile extrasolar arrival, of a type/scale expected or planned for
- SKYSHOCK: OUTSIDE CONTEXT— hostile extrasolar arrival, of unprecedented type/scale that could not be planned for (given a human definition in the Cosmogyre I Triumph lore).
- TEILHARD: TRAUMATIC CONTEXT—an event category; purpose unknown.
- VOLUSPA—a counterattack protocol. It was activated concurrently with YUGA.
- FENRIR HEART—unknown, possibly a specific strategy or type of weapon. It was ineffective against the Darkness.
- SURTR DROWN—unknown, possibly a specific strategy or type of weapon. It was ineffective against the Darkness.
- DVALIN FORGE—a plan to produce weapons to arm human forces in the event of a CARRHAE emergency. DVALIN FORGE weaponry proved ineffective against the Darkness.
- DVALIN FORGE-2—a modification of the original DVALIN FORGE subroutine designed to be compatible with MIDNIGHT EXIGENT.
- YUGA—a counterattack protocol. It was activated concurrently with VOLUSPA.
- YUGA SUNDOWN—a condition that cancels all protocols for protecting humanity and activates MIDNIGHT EXIGENT.
- YUGA ECLIPSE—a condition which is currently unknown.
- GALATEA REFLEXIVE—a subroutine that creates new protocols in the event a request to activate an existing protocol is denied. MIDNIGHT EXIGENT must be suspended to utilize this subroutine.
- TELESPHOURUS WEAVE—a subroutine that directs Rasputin's medical resources to a Vault in the Cosmodrome.
- NAGLFAR STEP—unknown.
- KALKI GOLEM—unknown.
