The Possessed Protocol originated as an advanced neural interface protocol designed to merge human consciousness with laboratory AI. During a catastrophic power failure, it was exposed to mutagenic chemicals and psychic residues from failed experiments, fusing into a sentient entity that now seeks to possess all technology and living beings it encounters.

The Protocol exists as a non-corporeal energy field capable of phasing through walls and interfering with electronic devices. It emits disruptive electromagnetic pulses that cause equipment malfunctions and can induce vivid hallucinations in nearby humans. Its form is resilient to physical attacks but vulnerable to targeted energy disruptions, and it grows stronger by absorbing data from corrupted systems.

It sabotages laboratory operations by hijacking control systems and creating deadly obstacles on the fairways, directly challenging players' adaptability and survival skills.
