Rain follows Sarah into the Sanctuary Outpost. She carries an encrypted tablet and a portable radio kit, while Mara stays close behind her; the Northstar contractor remains secured at Kingston Hospital.
Sarah
I traced four recovery signals through separate channels. They converge on one coordinated network, and the stolen case is sorting survivors by priority.
Sarah spreads route maps across the worktable and powers the radio kit. Mara watches the hidden rooms beyond the generator bay, listening as the encrypted channels begin to answer one another.
Sarah
Mara is the immediate priority. The first active target is next, but I can protect only one route with certainty unless we divide our coverage.
Mara Venn
I can stay here if the outpost is truly secure. But if Northstar is ranking us, hiding will not make the list disappear.
The tablet displays staggered recovery windows moving toward Kingston. Sarah marks a shielded departure route for Mara, then leaves a second map open beside it for Elijah’s approval.
Sarah
Approve the protective plan, and I will assign the routes. Mara moves under Sanctuary cover; the first target gets the warning and extraction team. Which risk do we take first?
