SERGEANT · QUARTERMASTER
Trax
Grey tabby. Black turtleneck. Carries the stamp and the ledger. Drafted by the squad to collect the toll and does nothing else. Has not smiled on duty.
TRANSMISSION 001 // TOLL BOOTH OPEN
Pay the toll.
Trust the drone.
Sergeant Trax runs Commander Vrax's toll booth. A flat 3% comes off every transaction, gets logged by paw-stamp, and goes straight into BBAX, the squad's buyback drone. No trade moves without paying the toll first.
PROCEDURE // TOLL
Three percent. Every transaction. No exceptions.
-
01
Transaction approaches the booth
A buy or a sell comes through the checkpoint. It does not pass yet.
-
02
Trax stamps the toll
3% is skimmed off the top and logged in the ledger. One paw-stamp. No discussion. The booth does not care whose trade it is.
-
03
BBAX takes the coins
The toll drops into the drone's coin slot. It hums. It clicks once. Extraction follows.
TRAX > Toll collected. 3% logged, paw-stamped, routed to BBAX.
BBAX > whirrr. click.
TRAX > Extraction confirmed. Checkpoint open. Next transaction.
UNIT PROFILE // BBAX
The buyback drone.
Matte gray. Boxy. One coin slot, one vacuum tube, no fur. BBAX swallows every toll coin Trax hands over and runs the extraction: the toll goes back into buying $STRAX.
It has never said a word. It is not expected to.
ROSTER // CAT SQUAD
Chain of command.
