Solaris Protocol
Strategic control and deterrence
The Solaris Protocol provides for the activation of the most powerful Everyman in the EVERYMAN program. It forms part of the doctrine known as Spandex Diplomacy, which uses superhuman abilities as instruments of pressure, deterrence, and retaliation.
Destructive capability
The individual associated with the protocol is an overloaded Everyman with the power of a star. His strength surpasses that of the program’s other subjects, placing him among the FNC’s weapons of mass destruction.
Containment and activation
The Everyman’s power is so extreme that he must remain in controlled stasis and cryogenic freezing at a secret base in Alaska. These conditions keep the overloaded individual and his destructive capability under control.
Uncertainty about his mental stability compounds the danger. There are doubts about how long he can remain conscious and sane under the effects of such power. Prolonged activation could compromise his judgment and control of his abilities.
ALEC invokes the Solaris Protocol to bring him out of that state and deploy him as an instrument of deterrence or retaliation.
