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.[3]

When attached to Dahlia and Commitment, it again resembles an "almost Cronenberg-esque metallic spine". Dahlia wears a black plug suit of Commitment's liquid stone, while Integrity protrudes from their back in spikes that plug into a throne made of Commitment.

History and Involvement

COUNTER/Weight

Integrity is initially associated with the Ethnologistical Committee for a More Prosperous Golden Branch and mechanically a Demagogue in Stars Without Number. When it opened a door with another Divine, the door appeared out of an already-present shaft of light.

At some point after the Golden War, Integrity takes Sokrates Nikon Artemisios as its Candidate, and over time they work together to create the Golden Demarchy. Sokrates formally takes the Candidate name Enhydra but continues to go by their given Apostolosian name.

PARTIZAN

Integrity spent many thousands of years kept in a box by the leaders of the Demarchy and the new Apostolosian empire. Prior to the creation of Stel Apostolos, it was part of one of four attempts to assassinate the Princept coordinated by the then-Apokine, partnered with their loyal soldier Orbit Shard. At the time, it seemed to fear it would end up being used as a weapon of the Divine Principality; it asked Modus Maria to take it, but she refused to wield it and break her alliance (on behalf of the Branched) with the Apokine, despite also suspecting that Integrity might be planning to broker peace with the Principality.[4] When things went wrong during the attack, it vanished along with Orbit, and it has been missing from the public eye since.[5]

It is obliquely revealed in the final narration of PARTIZAN that Dahlia is currently wielding Integrity in order to pilot Commitment "alone". This is kept secret; Dahlia's public stance is that they can pilot Commitment because of their dual lineages.

PALISADE

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. It is trying to create a new Princept for itself, but Asepsis is keeping an eye on it.[6]
