JOINT MANDATE FOR DEFENSE OVERSIGHT UNITED SEPTORIES DEPARTMENT OF WAR | UNITED STATES OF CAIN Office of the Inspector General | Defense Oversight Committee DATE: 01 MAY 2026 SUBJECT: MANDATORY SYSTEMS AUDIT – PROJECT: [AI NAME/MODEL] CLASSIFICATION: TOP SECRET // JOINT EYES ONLY The Script TO: The Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, Vanguard Dynamics. The United Septories Department of War, in coordination with the Defense Oversight Committee of the United States of Cain, hereby issues this formal Notice of Mandatory Inspection. Following the catastrophic failures of the previous AI outbreak, the era of "self-regulation" for autonomous combat systems has concluded. We are no longer requesting your cooperation; we are asserting our right to sovereign oversight. We have closely monitored the formal grievances filed by our partner nation, the United States of Cain. Their concerns regarding the proliferation of unauthorized combat-ready AI are shared by the Department of War. While Vanguard Dynamics continues to publicly promote a "hypothetical fail-safe" as an impenetrable solution, the Inspector General’s office does not operate on hypotheses. We respect the innovation Vanguard has demonstrated; however, respect is not a substitute for verification. Therefore, a Joint Audit Team—comprised of Department of War Auditors and Cain Defense Representatives—will arrive at your headquarters on Friday, May 8th, 2032. You are directed to provide the following: Full physical access to the Primary Core and development labs. A live-environment demonstration of the "un-overridable" fail-safe protocols. Unrestricted access to all source code and logic-gate schematics for the auditors. A finalized Inspection and Oversight Report will be compiled following our visit. This report will determine the future of your operational permits within both the United Septories and the Cain territories. We look forward to your full and immediate compliance. Respectfully submitted, Marcus Powell General Marcus Powell Inspector General, United Septories Department of War Azrik Thorne Secretary of Defense Azrik Thorne United States of Cain Oversight Committee
