Someone will always come digging."[^2] - Crawford "We condemn any and all attacks on Arkangel's infrastructure. The penalty for such an act risks jeopardizing our global neutrality."[^3] - Arkangel Spokesperson <br> ### Description In the years following the Battle of Doha, a curious buyer purchased the abandoned Capital International Stadium: [[Arkangel]]. Bolstered with a fortified military presence, the now-isolated stadium was repurposed as a data storage center for Arkangel's Intelligence Security Division. Publicly, the site was labeled a fail-safe storage site related to Arkangel's [[Geist]] neural networks. However, reports suggested the site was used to store information collected from Arkangel's Shearwater and Ascension Satellites, including classified intelligence from both US and Russian forces. These accusations were flatly rejected by Arkangel. As fighting resumed in [[Hourglass|Doha]], Arkangel issued a stern warning to both superpowers: do not interfere with its operations at the Stadium. Tampering with Arkangel property would risk incurring a response from the corporation. Both sides ignored the warning and a battle soon broke out at the site. Arkangel has yet to issue a response. Despite claims of the site harboring classified intelligence, reports from the field tell a story of wiped hard drives and shattered servers. "If there was something here," one soldier noted, "It was scrubbed clean before our boots touched the ground." [^1]: Angel's initial reaction once being deployed to Doha.
