The meeting closed on a rough shape.
Marcus would lead, if he accepted the Bureau's final conditions. Several seats would go to Emerald Spire's Floor 19 elites because their guild master was leading. The other major guilds would split a limited number between them. The independent S-ranks would be considered on fit. Three provisional seats would be held for Team Zero, pending their acceptance.
Every name on the roster had to have cleared Floor 19 or carry a Bureau exemption tied directly to the main story quest. The attempt was set for two weeks out.
"Team Zero gets contacted privately first," O'Shea said, gathering nothing, already standing. "Nobody announces anything until they've answered. The press waits."
He sent for them that evening, away from the conference room, in a plain Bureau office with the door shut.
All five of Team Zero came. O'Shea laid it out without dressing it up.
