72 HOURS UNTIL TRIALS
Eternal Bond's war room at midnight looked like a military operation center.
Screens showing building schematics. Personnel files. Equipment manifests. Medical supply chains. Security camera feeds. Every system involved in champion trials under microscopic review.
Sekar stood at the center, coordinating eight teams simultaneously.
"Medical team—re-verify every piece of equipment. Serial numbers. Manufacturers. Chain of custody. If anything was delivered in the last two weeks, flag it for inspection."
"Security team—background checks on every staff member with trial access. Cross-reference with Dragon's Gate connections. Even distant ones."
"Tech team—audit all System interface equipment. Look for unauthorized modifications. Firmware tampering. Data logging that shouldn't exist."
Rama watched her work with admiration. Guild Master Sekar was terrifying when protecting her people.
