The director was waiting at the Division.
He had built the prototype from Soren's transmitted specifications. It sat on the desk when they arrived—a compact assembly the size of a large notebook, housing the resonance array in a casing the director had machined himself from the workshop below the Division's main building. Cables and calibration dials along one face. A readout window on the front that was currently showing a stable line of numbers.
He held it up when Kai came through the door.
"It reads the source signal," he said. He showed Kai the readout. "The frequency matches what the Kael's Seat entity has been broadcasting into its conducted pattern since the contact at the cliff face. The array is detecting the source's substrate signal through the entity's Rift output, without the carrier function, from inside this building."
He set it on the desk between them.
