Morris received them in the security coordination office at seven fifty-five.
She listened to the assessment — today as the last viable day, the council observers departing Sunday evening, the question of whether the decision could be called before the observation period concluded — with the focused attention she brought to everything.
When they finished she said, "The council protocols require all three observers to sign any decision documentation. If the session hasn't occurred by the time they depart, the decision has to be re-calendared for a future date with at minimum thirty days notice to all represented parties."
"So they can't call it today without the session," William said.
"No. And the session was delayed under security protocols which requires my sign-off to release." Morris's expression was controlled. "Which I have not given and will not give while there's an active threat to a represented party."
