I am on a tight schedule and am one crisis shy of pulling the failsafe, which would kill us all. So don’t test me, especially not today. -- Cascadia [1]

The failsafe is a standard safety measure in Dungeon Crawler World. Once triggered by the Syndicate Council, it destroys the solar system's sun, effectively killing everything and everyone in the solar system.[2]

Description

An unknown mechanism using unknown technology, activated by an unknown protocol. The "failsafe" typically enters discussion around or after the Twelfth Floor Halls of Ascendency, when the System AI begins to "go primal."[3] Its apparent purpose is to prevent a rogue AI from infecting the Syndicate's Center System and the Eulogist.[4]
