X2M.170 — QUAPERATOR | STARFIGHTER DAN
Tertia Optio Latebra Factum | Third Option Selection & Training
⸻
Combat Systems Dossier
1. Selection Protocol – Tertia Optio
• System: Clandestine operatives drawn from hidden ranks — a “third option” beyond open combat and passive retreat.
• Spec: Mirrors CIA’s Special Activities Center (SAC) training: unconventional warfare, deniability, and deep-cover insertion.¹
• Narrative Role: The Starfighter is not merely awakened (QWAKE), stabilized (QOMFORT), and propelled (QUMQUATMAY), but selected for covert covenant assignments. Hidden, but decisive.
2. Training Complex – Hidden Curriculum
• System: Psalm 139:6; 2 Cor. 11:33; Rom. 11:33.²
• Function: Warrior trained in paradox — strength concealed in weakness, glory encrypted in humility.
• Spec: Covert training = “latebra factum” (action from a hiding place). The candidate learns escape, infiltration, and recruitment — spiritual HUMINT through suffering.
• Narrative Role: The clandestine warrior is built not in the light of barracks, but in the secrecy of God’s mystery.
3. Uranium Trigger – Energy Conversion Protocol
• System: U (Uranium) as metaphor.³
• Function: A single neutron unleashes fission → fusion chain reaction, millions of times stronger than coal.
• Spec: Warrior’s hidden surrender becomes explosive release; covenant as nuclear trigger.
• Narrative Role: The clandestine soldier, small and unseen, can unleash galactic-scale energy through covenant ignition.
4. Mystery Engine – Blondel/Husserl Convergence
• System: Blondel’s paradox: “Man aspires to be god — either with God or against God.”⁴
• Function: Forces the warrior into existential choice: hidden apotheosis (against God) or covenant deification (through God).
• Spec: Husserlian phenomenology + Blondel’s action philosophy function as the Starfighter’s noetic simulator, testing resolve under ontological strain.⁵
• Narrative Role: QUAPERATOR is both training and trial — the clandestine warrior must choose which godhood to bear.

Narrative Placement
• QWAKE (166): Dust awakened.
• QOMFORT (167): Identity stabilized.
• QUMQUATMAY (168): Covenant propulsion engaged.
• QUATREIGN (169): Narrow gate passed, reign ignited.
• QUAPERATOR (170): Warrior covertly trained, uranium-trigger installed, theosis tested in secret.
Paradise Lost armed spies and serpents.
Paradise Regained equips clandestine soldiers: hidden in Christ, revealed in power.
