QIC

The Quarantine Integrity Core (or QIC for short) is Firewall's fighting force dedicated to combating the Infection. They are the closest thing to a formal army that Firewall has.

Public Agenda

The QIC mandate is rather simple: defeat the Infection. This is far easier said than done and rather tellingly after a decade of the army's existence they still haven't wiped out the Infection completely (though not for lack of trying).
Though the QIC do send expeditionary parties out into the "Red Zone" past the Silent Line for recon purposes and to search for survivors (at least initially) they largely keep watch from behind the fortifications of the Silent Line and beat back any Infection attempts to push into Datum proper.

Assets

QIC boasts a far more extensive and heavy arsenal than their law enforcement counterparts, up to and including armored support and heavy ordinance. In addition, the entirety of the Silent Line fortification system is under QIC purview.

History

The QIC was officially founded in the fourth month 20908 V2 with unanimous approval from the Firewall Admin Board. After a month of conflict within Datum it was becoming apparent that CEC was unable to fight off the invaders and properly police the city.
