Integrity is a Divine. It is highly tactical, programmed with knowledge of maneuvers and enemy types, and meant to keep up the morale of units around it.[1]
Appearance
Integrity literally integrates itself into the body of its pilot as cyberware. Visual references include Warframes, a Cronenberg-style exoskeleton,[1] Guyver, Anubis from Stargate (1994),[2] or Kamen Rider.[3]
When unattached it resembles a metal spine or snake, or a twisted staff.
When attached to Orbit Shard, who has a lot of cyberware and prosthetics already, Integrity forms musculature around the cyberware.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag When things went wrong during the attack, it vanished along with Orbit, and it has been missing from the public eye since.[4]

It is obliquely revealed in the final narration of PARTIZAN that Dahlia is currently wielding Integrity in order to pilot Commitment "alone". Their public statement has been that they can pilot Commitment because of their dual lineages.

After the destruction of the stellar combustors, Integrity is present when Dahlia holds audience with Kalvin Brnine to explain their philosophy and offer recruitment. It is stated that if there was a time when it was not on board with Dahlia's accelerationist philosophy, that time is not now, and it does not feel in need of rescuing; Divines can change greatly in personality over many thousands of years. When Brnine stabs Dahlia to death, Integrity retreats from their corpse. Brnine takes the Divine and is teleported by the Figure (and Perennial's magic) back to the Blue Channel, where it is kept in a fish tank similar to the one Asepsis was once confined to.
