Created following the Neon Nightfall incident, the Protocol Gavel emerged as a countermeasure against ideological wavering. Engineers embedded Commander Thorne's strategic patterns into an AI judge that evaluates neural activity for loyalty deviations, delivering instant corrective feedback through implanted enforcement modules.

Manifests as a holographic gavel icon visible through neural implants. Contains adaptive compliance algorithms that escalate from mild electric impulses to full motor shutdown. Integrated with Steel Eagle's encrypted command network through quantum-linked authentication chips resistant to hacking attempts.

Acts as both judge and executioner within Echo Sentinel ranks, automatically punishing protocol violations and ideological doubts through cybernetic enforcement. Maintains unit cohesion by making disobedience physically impossible.
