This article links to all of the lore elements that have been seen on the Range after they were first added in 3.09.
These have mostly been found within an office found in the basement under the main hall belonging to VALORANT Protocol leader 
Brimstone, and around the main hall, which itself has a small office belonging to 
Cypher. Before 3.09, these listed rooms had either been barricaded or walled off.

| “ | "Brimstone, don't ask me how I know, but an alarming number of agents still use "1234" as their password. This is not acceptable! I suggest we run my data security course again. I shortened it by twelve slides following your rather pointed feedback. Say the word, I'll see it done." |
--Your office door is open, sir. We can all hear you losing your cool with that new guy.
You'll need to smooth things over with the team, too. No one's thrilled about leave being cut short. Or having returned to find some stranger wandering through HQ.
Team briefing in thirty.

| “ | "Cucho, listen. If you expect me to apologize for what happened all those years ago, you don't remember me very well. We cannot bring back the dead, mi hermano. How many more will die unless we focus on the fight at hand? What comes next will not be easy... but if your team is as trustworthy as you say, we may just survive." |
I know you already did, you always do. Please recheck anyways. It won't be the standard Legion signatures so have Viper and Vyse look as well. If I'm going to kick Tejo off this island for wasting our time, I want our data rock solid. His source claims we've missed multiple incursions, which I have a hard time believing. But let's do our due diligence, to be sure. Thanks. I owe you.

Clove to all agents.
You're 100% sure it's not Legion. BUT ARE YOU 200% SURE?
So the MO's a mismatch. Are we that certain those bams could never try anything new? Maybe we're getting a wee bit arrogant? Just maybe?
I dunno. As long as it isn't more Scions. Vyse you're finally acting civil, can't have you relapse. No offense.

| “ | "Qué hubo Brimstone, perhaps I did not make myself clear. We are facing a serious threat. As of now, these kids you've trained aren't going to cut it. You need someone who can keep the younger ones in line; talk shit with them, talk business with us. I have someone in mind. Lucky for you, she's been working with me for a long time. I'll make the introduction. Adiós, cucho." |

| “ | "Yo, jefe. I've been talking to Coach and I wanted to check with you. I've been training for a hot minute so I feel like it's time for me to start learning some new new shit, ya know? Like... the VLT/R? Like... flying the VLT/R, alright? C-Cause think about how useful it would be to have another pilot on the team, ya know? Someone else... like me! Just saying! That's all I got, think about it!" |
Send someone to check on 09. There’s no room for freezing up like that. The boy is in his head.
I suspect it goes deeper than a mere pep talk. But admittedly, not my area of expertise.

| “ | "Gonna be quick, Brim. Getting word of Kingdom sites getting hit all over the world in the last month with the same radianite field getting stolen. I got my hands on some 'kay footage and, yeah, the crew working the gig are in the same getup as the guys we fought in Thailand! Long story short, whatever they're doing, we didn't stop them. Let me know if you need me to take a crew off base to do some digging." |
Cy pulled the data. Phoenix's outgoing calls are more or less nonexistent. His external inbox has years worth of unreads.
Think we're looking at this wrong, Brim. I don't care about how he's fighting. This is all about the WHY. He's been Agent Phoenix nonstop. When's the last time he was just Jamie?

| “ | "No, you still gotta cover her, Phoenix! Go run it again! Hey Brim, just... just wrapping up training now. Well, T was right. You've got a whole bunch of talented folks here who can move and shoot like pros. Great on their own!... but rusty as anything as a unit, heh. But that's where I come in, right? Yeah, okay. Just give me the time you promised and I'll get you a team ready for war." |
- Laptop: A new email sent from Skye to all agents.
I am TELLING you it's ATLAS. Their gear's all upgraded, but watch the footage. Same squad maneuvers as Western Ghatts. Harbor, Astra, you were there too. Take a look. Once you spot it, it's obvious.
What I wanna know now is, what the hell is Omega's defensive force doing here in Alpha?

| “ | "Brimstone, I reviewed the team's routine report on Omega activity, something caught my eye. There is an increase in military-grade energy production and transport. It is behavior I have seen before when my old clients in weapons R&D would bring a project into full production. The Omega markets are different than ours, it is true, but... I don't like the smell of it. Someone is building something, hermano, something big. It behooves us to find out what." |

The young guns love her. She's got them all leaning in. Since day one she's done nothing but build bridges.
Had my doubts about bringing in your crewmate. Didn't want your and my history causing deeper team fissures. But it hasn't. You were right.
If you know anyone else, don't hold out.

I believe I have just the thing. My latest prototypes performed exquisitely in field testing. And their design complements Iso and Waylay's joint weapons handling regimens. Such mastery. A shame those two didn't partner sooner. But I digress. I proudly endorse the weapons as mission-ready.
You are not alone in your desire to strike back at ATLAS. Let this be the first cut.

| “ | "Yo, baby sis, giving me a taste of my own medicine, huh? Not picking up? Huh, right... Sorry I missed your call- uh, calls, yeah... been meaning to call you earlier, just... you know how it is. Hope Lagos is treating you alright. Send Auntie Bukki my best. Last we spoke you were back home in London. No... that must have been years ago, man. Told Mum I'd visit soon too but things keep popping up. My mind's all scrambled... just work stuff I guess. Makes me miss home a bit more. Anyway, not your concern, just been thinking about you is all. Be nice to catch up. How's the music going? You a superstar yet? I wanna know everything, call me back." |
