The Silent Protocol originated when Hex Blackwood discovered a flaw in corporate security algorithms that allowed undetectable access. She codified this exploit into a replicable method, shared only with trusted Neon Shadows operatives.

Exists as both digital artifact and physical manifesto with an encrypted data core that resists decryption. Adapts to security systems without traces and is accessed through neural implants with self-destruct safeguards.

Serves as the Neon Shadows' primary infiltration method against the mega-corporation, driving corporate counterintelligence efforts while providing strategic advantage.
