You were chosen to carry out the Protocol program.

Your objective is to make “first contact” with an alien life form.
Any violation of the Protocol will lead to the elimination of you and the entire operation.
Remember, the fate of humanity may depend on your actions.
Once signed, the Protocol must be promptly implemented.
Have a nice day!

The action of Protocol, most likely, takes place in the near future. You are a flippant soldier who signs up for the Protocol program implementation. Packed in a landing box and dropped off somewhere in the Arctic Circle, not far from the Terminus research complex, your main objective is to follow a mysterious AI’s orders, who uses you to make “first contact” within the Protocol program framework. Any deviation from AI’s orders is considered to be a violation of Protocol; leading to the elimination of the complex and staff.
