The director confirmed the Gold-Rank suppression event at the morning hour.
The classification board had reviewed the extraction team's medical report overnight and had produced a term for what they found: sovereign-class ambient suppression. The first use of that phrase in an active zone emergency filing. The phrase meant that the entity's upward pressure was carrying a sovereign-class component that interacted with the ambient path-energy in the zone environment. In the zones closest to the pressure's epicentre—zone sixteen, zone fifteen's northern sections—that component was dense enough to suppress path-output in any hunter operating within its radius.
The board had no response protocol for sovereign-class ambient suppression. The phrase was new. The phenomenon was new. They had a term for it and nothing else.
