Voss convened the assembled training cohort within weeks of Nakamura's genuine, joyful announcement, understanding that this significant transition — the new Ambassadors' first genuinely independent session with Threnody, without Timeline 48's direct, primary involvement — represented exactly the culmination their months of intensive, careful preparation had been building toward.
"I want to establish something directly before we proceed," Voss said, addressing the assembled candidates alongside Sohrn's continued, considerable mentorship presence. "This represents genuine transition, not merely supervised practice. Rama, Sekar, and Nakamura will monitor remotely, available for consultation if genuinely required. But this session belongs to your own developing capability."
