Wallwalker No. 1

Forty-five core operatives stood before a long table in the western corridor on the Inner Fortress's third floor.

The same number of wooden clipboards lay on the table, each mission booklet bearing the Reconstruction Institute's black sealing wax.

Kevin opened the roster. "Confirm your names and numbers, then collect your mission booklets."

Bridge builders, medical personnel, warehouse inspectors, local representatives, and others stepped forward in turn to collect their assignments. Kevin then began explaining some of the details.

Suddenly, the operatives talking quietly all stopped and looked up at something behind Kevin.

Puzzled, Kevin turned and saw Shien emerge from the corridor's shadows.

Shien had not originally needed to come, but this was the reconstructed city's first on-site reform, so he had come to see them before they departed.

[Lv.3 Administrative Coordination] unfolded in Shien's mind, separating the forty-five operatives' duties, handoff points, and potential conflicts of authority into several clear pathways.

[Lv.3 Mechanical Engineering and Manufacturing] marked the technical interfaces that had to be preserved between the bridge team, combat engineers, and maintenance personnel.

He pinned a parchment covered in official seals to the blackboard.

"Before you depart, I have a few recommendations. The execution teams have the authority to conduct on-site inspections of military supply warehouses below level three, private grain stores, and refugee settlements along the route.

"The original records will remain locally under joint seal. Any documents requiring transfer must be signed by both parties; verified copies will be used for everything else.

"If anyone offers armed resistance, Derrick will secure the scene, and a recorder will document the incident."

Several local representatives instinctively straightened, waiting for him to continue.

"In cases such as bridge collapses, flooded warehouses, or overdue transfers of wounded soldiers, the person in charge on-site may act immediately to prevent further losses.
