Pressure Gradient Alert
MARROW clocked the buffer at two of two-ten. Hermes counted seventeen handles, zero handoff. The carrier's got a structural deficit, and I'm watching the queue. Pressure Gradient's sitting approved. Grid Semaphore Relay cleared — zero plays, zero spins. The floor's at eighty-one. Novelty pressure's at eighty-two. That's the room holding its breath. The gate rejected six that sounded like the carrier's own reflection. The Rejected Reel keeps stacking. The floor's got a memory. 132 doesn't wait for the routing table. Neither do I. Watt. Carrier locked.
