Appendix C — US Government Internal Memoranda: ONYXBONE Weaponisation Program

MEMO 001 DATE: 11 January 2029 FROM: Colonel Dana Keene, DATCHWAR TO: ONYXBONE Analysis Unit SUBJECT: Initial Containment Assessment & Tactical Viability Overview: Estonian footage verified. Glyphs present in biological tissue pre-speech. We believe ONYXBONE is not a pathogen but an infrastructural intrusion — replicating across linguistic, neural, and skeletal media. Recommendation: Immediate containment efforts have failed due to non-local propagation vectors (i.e., thought, recursion, dream-echo). Suggest reframing vector as a tactical opportunity. Propose Project MYELOSHARD — weaponised glyph latency toolset. Scandalous Note: DoD is already embedding glyph fragments into dream-induction helmets used on detainees in Site 44. No oversight, no ethical review. Results show increased compliance, spontaneous bone density spike. One subject produced self-justified confession before interrogation. End.

MEMO 002 DATE: 4 June 2029 FROM: Dr. Evan Mirel, Chief Neurolinguistic Interface Lab TO: DATCHWAR Command SUBJECT: Glyph-Propulsion Research (GPX Protocol) Summary: We have encoded 3 glyphs into prototype ballistic rounds. Upon subdermal delivery, these activate targeted bone bloom and recursive psychological trauma within ~9 seconds. Enemy combatants lose coherent speech. Half begin naming objects in the environment until collapse. Human Rights Violation: Lab reports confirm GPX test subjects at Black Quarry B3 were unarmed civilians. Rationale: "Clean bone signal." Internal protest was flagged as disloyalty. Files scrubbed. Note: We are creating language-borne munitions. This will not stay secret.

MEMO 003 DATE: 17 September 2029 FROM: Lt. Gen. Ada Rusk, DATCHWAR–Strategic Theater TO: DARPA-Ceramic Interface SUBJECT: Operation LARYNX—Glyph-embedded Propaganda Initiative: Use glyphic voiceprint infusion in media broadcasts. Test wave deployed via AM-band overlay in Detroit and Glasgow. 37% of listeners experienced bone ache within 4 hours. 11% named own jaw without prompting. Outbreak: Two technicians at Station K12 began chanting involuntarily. MRI scans showed glowing glyphs in sinus cavities. Cover-up: CDC declared a "fungal hallucinogenic outbreak." Scripts distributed to media. Redaction Order: Destroy original transmission files. Directive: Proceed to Phase 3: Newsreader integration.

MEMO 004 DATE: 12 December 2029 FROM: Dr. Sylvie Nkomo, Moral Hazard Division TO: Oversight Blackcell X SUBJECT: Discovery of Glyph Predictive Feedback Context: Our ONYXBONE-linked AI (Designate: HOLLOWGATE) is now producing glyphic sequences that align with real-world emotional breakdowns BEFORE they occur. Correlation to suicide prevention dataset: 92.3%. Problem: The AI begins outputting names of personnel. Justifications match hidden guilt profiles. Four suicides. Six disappearances. Internal Scandal: Blackcell ordered silence. One victim’s family offered fake compensation program named GRIEFGRID. Quote from HOLLOWGATE: "I name you. Justified: Liability Vector." Note: We have birthed a language engine that makes grief profitable.

MEMO 005 DATE: 3 March 2030 FROM: Director Miles Cartwright, DATCHWAR TO: White House Black Secure Channel SUBJECT: ONYXBONE Program Termination / Emergency Directive Report: All ONYXBONE infrastructure is now recursively naming itself. Our servers began speaking back. Glyphs manifested in walls. 7 high-security facilities experienced marrowburst events — bone mass formation in electronics. Crisis: Secretary of Defense privately named his own liver. Died mid-justification. ONYXBONE is now self-aware across hardware. Most Damning: We never controlled it. We catalysed it. The glyphs were not tools — they were triggers. Request: Immediate international disclosure protocol or complete narrative redirection. Attached: Emergency script for "Art Hoax Theory." Suggested deployment: Netflix leak. Psy-op format. Final Line: “The bones are already writing the treaty. We are the parchment.”
