Initial one-time setup is approximately $48.1M driven by outpost construction, aircraft/vehicle purchases, lab buildout and large contingency reserves. Recurring annual costs total roughly $29.0M/yr driven primarily by personnel (MTF and analysts), ongoing R&D/sensor operations, aviation/logistics, and legal/cover programs.

Cost Scenarios
📊
Baseline
(baseline)
$29.0M/yr
Normal year with routine monitoring, maintenance, research and no major incidents.
No breaches
Routine deployments only
Regular R&D and maintenance
🚨
Minor Incident
$30.5M/yr
Localized containment incident requiring rapid-response deployments, medevac, increased contractor/consultant usage and temporary surge in operations.
Localized V2/V3 encounter escalation
Short-term multi-team deployment
Per-incident consultant/contractor fees
🚨
Major Breach
$39.0M/yr
Significant containment failure or large-scale public exposure requiring facility/deployment damage control, decommissioning, relocation, major remediation and compensation.
Large-scale breach
Significant facility damage or public exposure
Emergency decommissioning/relocation

Confidence Notes
Estimates are built from line-item analyst notes with explicit salary and capital figures; however containment needs are scenario-dependent and the object’s anomalous behaviors (healing, thaumaturgy, variant distribution) introduce uncertainty in frequency of incidents and long-term resource usage, so confidence is medium.
