The thirty-day preparation began the next morning.
Morgan was in the compound's southern section before sunrise, placing the secondary barrier's first foundation nodes with Sarah and Ronan working alongside him.
The speed at which they worked showcased a month of hard-earned expertise—what Morgan could have accomplished alone in two weeks now took the three of them only eight days, and the quality of their array really reflected that improvement.
Each node went into the ground with the precision of people who understood what they were constructing rather than simply following instructions.
Sai activated every intelligence point at elevated reporting frequency and sent word through the Grey Shadow Hall's local network requesting priority routing on any movement reports coming from the Moonshade Domain's southern approaches.
