The Gate Monitoring Centre for Area 5's northern and western sectors occupied the fourteenth floor of a building that had no signage on the exterior and a very small elevator that required a ring scan to operate.
The room itself was long and low-ceilinged, curved slightly at the far end to accommodate the main display wall — a semicircle of overlapping screens showing live feeds from the northern district's gate sensor network, the atmospheric mana density readouts rendered in real-time as color gradients that shifted from cool blue at baseline to amber at elevated and red at critical.
There were one hundred fourteen camera feeds. Sixty atmospheric monitors. Three dedicated lines to the Emergency Dispatch Units stationed at intervals across the district.
This place was divided into four workstations, out of which, two were occupied on night shift.
Len was at the left one.
