The Senior Administrator's decision came the following morning.
His name was Adis — sixty-seven, Level 38, forty years in the institution, the specific weight of someone who had been managing institutional uncertainty for long enough that the uncertainty had become familiar.
He had read Mev's forty pages.
He had listened to the senior administration meeting.
He had sat with the evidence for one night.
And in the morning he had issued three directives.
The first: the advancement review process would incorporate civilian assessment authority effective immediately. A civilian oversight board for Venmoor — the model Kael recognized from the Kingdom Agreement — established within thirty days with authority over the assessment outcomes that Callen's process was generating.
