He gave Cait the builders' documentation that morning.
All of it—the complete Vael's Crossing folder from Arveth's Archive, plus the relevant sections from the Kael's Seat documentation that described Stage 5's construction and function. He told her to read it and ask questions when she had them. Then he went to find Varn.
Varn was at zone 5's entry point, running his first post-Stage 3 ambient readings. The suppression field had dropped enough that S-Rank hunters could now enter zone 5 without full output suppression—their skills activated at reduced capacity, perhaps sixty to seventy percent, but activated. Varn had tested this himself at the sixth hour and had come out with his Void Path output functional and a set of readings that he was comparing against his four years of pre-crisis data.
He looked up when Kai arrived.
