The Field Authority's formal status notice arrived at the Division the next morning.
The director showed it to him across the desk without preamble.
The document was brief. FA's administrative language was always brief. Carrier status: B-Rank confirmed, War Body confirmed, road-integrated sovereign output stable. Operational classification: standard B-Rank with supplementary notation for road-integrated output. Monitoring status: passive. Active field agent assignment: closed.
Lenne was being pulled.
The director set the notice on his desk.
"She filed a final report before the operation closed," he said. "I have read it. She documented your progression from D-Rank registration to War Body B-Rank. Four months and forty-three days." He looked at the notice. "Her closing assessment was one sentence."
He looked at Kai.
"Output ceiling not yet determined."
