In the early morning, the slightly cool morning breeze blew through the open window into the room, carrying the sounds of Garrison Soldiers gathering and drilling in the courtyard square. Heti briskly crossed the corridor, entered Gawain's study, and delivered a report to him.
"Ancestor, the Divine Authority Council document—the test project numbered EC-27—has been successfully completed. Here are the relevant data and summary records."
Gawain looked up from the materials before him, accepted the document Heti handed over, and rapidly flipped through it. Several key details immediately caught his eye: "...During testing, the 'miracle' effect Project G-1 exerted on Project G-2 did indeed pass through the barriers of space and reality, acting directly upon the body... No contamination of the divine domain occurred, nor was any form of 'overflow' observed... Subsequent monitoring and testing of Project G-1 showed no signs of its divine portion reviving, nor any spiritual connection with any mind in the real world...
"...In summary, the practical application of the Non-directional Thought Tide has achieved substantial results. Its effects are not limited to passive 'isolation'; it can also provide active, controllable, targeted protection...
"Further note: Project G-1 displayed an extremely high level of cooperation during this test. He earned the respect of every member of the project team..."
"The test conducted on Patty and Amun succeeded," Gawain said a few minutes later, setting down the document and looking up at Heti. "Without interference or suggestion from any external will, their cross-boundary contact caused no contamination—the Non-directional Thought Tide permeating the underlying layers of the Neural Network is effective. Now, we can do more than create a 'protective field' within Defiance Fortress. Wherever the Neural Network reaches, the Anti-Divinity Barrier can function."
Heti smiled faintly. "Combined with the Broadcast Device, even if some god suddenly went mad,
