The national boards carried the certified class onto the raid's first floor. The Citadel watched from a barred room, shut out of a clear the whole nation was invited to see. No Citadel seal touched the run, and no Citadel fighter set a boot on the stone.
"Official feed on the left, my own relay on the right, so the room reads what the boards read and nothing the Hall trims," Diana said, splitting the relay across both channels, "a licensed class walking a floor they barred us from, and I am logging every cut the rector's camera makes."
The certified class moved onto the floor in a formation that covered every angle before the first monster closed. Two shield ranks held the front while the ranged line fired through lanes the vanguard kept open by count.
