The morning after Sera's extraction, Raven convened a meeting of three people in the Formation Hall workshop: herself, Coop, and Thorne. No formation slates. No documentation. The conversation that happened in this room would not be recorded because the decision it produced could not be explained to anyone outside it without revealing things the population wasn't ready to hear.
"The three strangers," Raven said. "Cold-trigger. Both days."
Thorne didn't argue. Yesterday, he might have — might have raised the Charter, the precedent, the cost of testing residents without cause. Yesterday, the mountain had felt safe. Today, the empty chair in Lin Yue's office where Sera Voss had sat discussing relocation protocols said otherwise.
"Pretexts?" Thorne asked.
