Book 0 — Before the Island
Before the shore, there is machinery: analysts, language reviewers, forms, call windows, transport routes, consent fields. Public crisis becomes a transfer program.
NEMOS does not only move people. It names them, sorts them, translates them, records them, and turns consent into a field that can be completed. Book 0 follows the system as it learns to make removal sound orderly.
