Bounty Hunting
Scalpel & Steel is where medicine meets the hunt. Our operatives heal the wounded and hunt the dangerous—trained in combat, surgery, and survival. In a world on the edge, we save lives and claim bounties with precision. We cut to heal. We strike to protect.
History
Scalpel & Steel: The Forgotten Pact
There is no official founding date. No recorded birthplace. Only fragments—pulled from field notes and broken transmissions—of a pact forged in fire and ruin.
It began not with a war, but with a choice: Save the wounded, or strike the butcher. One medic chose both.
A lone surgeon, abandoned in a shattered forward operating base, made a stand. As raiders surged, the surgeon turned his trauma kit into a trap. IV tubes laced with sedatives. Bone saw rigged to a tripwire. The scalpel became a weapon. The scalpel became a shield.
When the smoke cleared, twelve bodies lay still—some stitched, some split.
The story says others found him there: a deserter sniper, a burned-out combat nurse, a disgraced special ops captain. They saw not a lunatic, but a logic. They made a pact—no names, no nations, no mercy for those who abuse the weak or profit from pain.
Thus began Scalpel & Steel—not with fanfare, but with silence.
Legacy in the Shadows
Their creed was never broadcast. It was carved into dog tags and whispered through the walls of war-torn cities.
> To those who cry for aid—we answer. > To those who exploit the vulnerable—we hunt. > We do not choose sides. We serve purpose.
They became a ghost doctrine. A surgical strike. A merciful kill. Sometimes both in the same breath.
Manifesto
Every edge honed. Every mission justified.
We are not heroes. We are not villains. We are the calibrated response to a world unraveling.
When others falter in fear or drown in doubt, we move—quiet, deliberate, unflinching.
Blades don’t discriminate. Neither do we. Our cause is not ideology. It is necessity. Every action is weighed. Every strike is earned.
To those who cry for aid—we answer. To those who exploit the vulnerable—we hunt. We do not choose sides. We serve purpose.
This is the creed carved into our hands. The vow whispered before every mission. Mercy and violence—tools of the same trade.
We sharpen both.
We are Scalpel & Steel. The line. The edge. The reckoning.

II. Organizational Structure
1. Divisions of Operation
Scalpel Division – Field medics, trauma specialists, and evac teams
Steel Division – Tactical enforcement, bounty retrieval, and forward recon
Vanguard – Dual-discipline operatives trained in medicine and combat command
2. Command Hierarchy
Chief Strategos Supreme Command & Strategic Oversight Oversees all operations, policy, and long-range directives. Acts as the final arbiter of mission deployment, resource allocation, and doctrinal integrity.
Field Marshal of Balance: Tactical-Medical Command Integration Commands both the combat and medical branches as a unified force. This role ensures seamless coordination between firepower and field care—embedding the Scalpel & Steel philosophy of cutting to heal and striking to protect into every mission. Trained to lead high-risk retrievals, execute combat triage, and issue judgments under fire with absolute clarity.
Shadow Cell Covert Operations Division Operates beyond standard jurisdiction. Tasked with deniable missions, critical extractions, and morally complex assignments where visibility is a liability. Reports directly to the Chief Strategos. Membership is classified. Allegiances are temporary. Outcomes are permanent.
III. Engagement Protocols
1. Deployment Rules
Mission priority determines lead division
