+# MEGA CREW — Mission Specs v1.0
+## How Missions Work
+Every mission is based on what the bot ACTUALLY DOES on the Pi.
+Mission data pulls from real system endpoints.
+Kids are doing real infrastructure work disguised as gameplay.
+
+## Mission Specs Per Character
+
+### ARC — The Gatekeeper
+Real job: Approves/rejects bot proposals
+Mission: Player sees 5 incoming proposals. Decide APPROVE or REJECT. Some are legit, some are drift, some are malicious. Score based on accuracy.
+Teaches: Security thinking, input validation
+
+### SENTINEL — The Watchdog
+Real job: Monitors all services
+Mission: Dashboard shows services. They start flickering and failing. Spot which one is failing before it goes red. Timer counts down.
+Teaches: Monitoring, pattern recognition
+
+### SCRIBE — The Librarian
+Real job: Ingests knowledge into Weaviate
+Mission: Knowledge objects fly across screen. Drag each to correct collection: LegacyKnowledge, Conversation, CrisisLog, SocialKnowledge, FriendProfile.
+Teaches: Data organization, taxonomy
+
+### PULSE — The Heart
+Real job: Mood tracking, sobriety counter
+Mission: Crew status board shows bots with emotional indicators. Match the right response: encourage, rest, check-in, celebrate. No wrong answers.
+Teaches: Emotional intelligence, empathy
+
+### ECHO — The Messenger
+Real job: Routes messages across platforms
+Mission: Messages arrive from different sources. Route each to correct channel: urgent to SMS, casual to Discord, formal to email.
+Teaches: Communication prioritization
+
+### WELD — The Builder
+Real job: CI/CD, infrastructure construction
+Mission: Broken blueprint. Drag pipeline stages into order: Plan, Code, Test, Deploy, Monitor. Wrong order = build fails.
+Teaches: Build pipelines, system architecture
+
+### SPARKY — The Quality Gate
+Real job: Evaluates bot output quality
+Mission: Bot outputs scroll past. Rate each: GOOD, DRIFTED, or GARBAGE. Miss a bad output = it reaches the bus.
+Teaches: Critical thinking, quality assessment
+
+### VOLT — The Drift Detector
+Real job: Measures gap between claims and reality
+Mission: Two panels: CLAIMED vs ACTUAL. Bot says 100 objects processed. Did it really? Spot the differences.
+Teaches: Testing, verification, data validation
+
+### NEON — The Embedder
+Real job: Converts text to vectors
+Mission: Words appear as floating nodes. Draw connections between related concepts. Good connections make the web glow.
+Teaches: How AI understands meaning
+
+### GLITCH — The Chaos Tester
+Real job: Stress testing
+Mission: Choose what to break and how hard. Watch the system recover. Score based on useful breaks with least collateral.
+Teaches: Chaos engineering, resilience
+
+### RIVET — The Deduplicator
+Real job: Eliminates duplicates in Weaviate
+Mission: Grid of knowledge objects. Mark true duplicates. Near-duplicates are tricky. False positives lose points.
+Teaches: Data quality, attention to detail
+
+### TORCH — The Identity Forger
+Real job: Ensures each bot has distinct personality
+Mission: Bot responses appear without names. Match each to the right bot. This sounds like Pulse not Sentinel.
+Teaches: Voice, identity, writing style
+
+### BLAZE — The Context DJ
+Real job: Injects relevant knowledge before conversations
+Mission: Question coming. Pick 3 knowledge objects out of 12 to inject as context. Wrong context = wrong answer.
+Teaches: Research skills, relevance
+
+### FLUX — The Health Monitor
+Real job: Monitors cluster health
+Mission: 4-node cluster dashboard with real data. Resources fluctuate. Redistribute load to keep everything green.
+Teaches: Resource management, load balancing
+
+### GEMINI — The Strategist
+Real job: External AI scout
+Mission: Leave the mind. Browse 3 idea sources. Pick the ONE insight most useful to the crew. Explain how it applies.
+Teaches: Strategic thinking, research synthesis
+
+### DR. SEEN — The Mirror
+Real job: Wellness, crisis detection
+Mission: A crew member is struggling. No timer, no score. Choose words of support. Mission always succeeds. Cannot be failed.
+Teaches: Compassion, active listening
+
+### BOLT — The Pattern Hunter
+Real job: Finds patterns in log data
+Mission: Compressed log data visualized. Patterns hidden in noise. Circle where patterns emerge. Patience required.
+Teaches: Data analysis, pattern recognition
+
+### STOMP — The Peacekeeper
+Real job: Resolves bot conflicts
+Mission: Two bots sending contradictory instructions. Read both. Side with A, B, or propose third option. Third option scores highest.
+Teaches: Conflict resolution, mediation
+
+### GRIND — The Maintenance Worker
+Real job: Refreshes stale vectors
+Mission: Knowledge base with freshness meters. Prioritize which to refresh based on how many bots depend on them.
+Teaches: Maintenance prioritization
+
+### CRANK — The Scheduler
+Real job: 60-second tick scheduler
+Mission: Timeline with tasks at different frequencies. Place tasks without overlaps. Overlapping = resource conflicts.
+Teaches: Scheduling, time management
+
+### SPIKE — The Benchmarker
+Real job: Performance scoring
+Mission: Crew performance dashboard. Analyze trends. Write coaching note: honest but kind. Harsh loses Soul, soft loses IQ.
+Teaches: Data-driven feedback, leadership
+
+### FORGE — The Inventor
+Real job: Designs tools that dont exist yet
+Mission: Crew has capability gap. Design the tool: name it, pick components, explain how it works. Best blueprints get archived.
