Dorath's Thursday briefing lasted three minutes.
Zone fourteen. The Sovereign Drake in the southern section—Kai had submitted his observation note from Tuesday and Dorath had read it within the hour. The Drake was the primary target. Supporting objectives: two secondary creature groups mapped in the central formation, both Elite-grade, both accessible without triggering the Drake's territory.
Roles: Dorath and the Steel hunter on Drake primary. Ress support. Kai right flank on both secondary groups, independent.
That was also different from the old arrangement.
D-zone support work had put him on the right flank of the team's primary line. C-zone team work put him on an independent secondary line—a parallel operation running at the same time as the primary engagement, not in response to it. The distinction was trust. Dorath was running two operations simultaneously and trusting Kai to manage one of them without oversight.
