The independent instrument arrived in the engineer’s own case, and the council observer made her open it on an empty table.
No patient records nearby. No protected diagram beneath the lid. The Aegis engineer had permission to bring a measuring device into the marked technical area, not to attach something unnoticed while everyone watched the result. After the transmitter found in the clinic, the inspection took longer than either visiting engineer wanted.
She accepted it with a tight mouth.
“You may look at every connector,” she said. “The raw results are shared with everyone participating.”
“Technical results,” Ilyan answered. “Personal identities remain under their separate terms.”
“Then keep those out of the instrument file.”
They agreed on the record before connecting the device. A trial reference would identify the operation for authorized checking. The public technical copy would contain time, signal, calibration, uncertainty, and the conditions of the test. It would not contain a volunteer’s unrelated interface details or the community’s secret routes. The supplying engineer could retain the raw technical data under those conditions without receiving private registers as an incidental gift.
The council chose an observer who had not watched either earlier trial. Pela showed him the exposed monitoring point and explained where his view would end. Eren remained responsible for access near the occupied supports. The experiment still used the separate frame and the approved connection; nobody gained permission to open the reserve because an independent instrument might make that opening convenient.
