The recording crystals went out on the twentieth.
Not the full set — Thorne had argued against sharing everything, and Raven had agreed. The central chamber footage stayed locked in the Formation Hall. The creature's face, the voice, the word door — that intelligence was too dangerous to distribute through channels that might be compromised. The breeding chambers were enough. The performing city was enough. The production numbers were enough.
Three crystals. Sealed in formation-locked cases. Each one containing footage of Zones 1 through 3 — the hollow buildings, the mechanical walkers, the pods with bodies inside, 7T9's production estimates overlaid in clinical amber text. Three identical packages, sent by three different routes, to three different allies.
Commander Drake received hers first.
