THREE DAYS AFTER PUBLIC DEMONSTRATION
The security upgrades began appearing at Eternal Bond headquarters under the guise of "routine infrastructure improvements."
Reinforced doors installed on Sekar's office. Maintenance crew explained: "Insurance company requirements after tournament publicity. High-profile guild masters need enhanced protection."
Additional security cameras positioned throughout the building. Technicians cited: "Association recommendations following recent guild conflicts. Standard protocol."
Panic buttons discretely embedded in key locations—Sekar's desk, Champions training room, main conference area. Presented as: "Emergency communication system upgrades. Connects directly to police and medical services."
All perfectly reasonable. All completely deceptive.
