The council did not vote on the trial at the first meeting.
It asked who had been consulted, and the answer was not yet everyone whose risk had been identified. Two households wanted an interpreter. A resident caring for a relative could not attend at the proposed hour. The possible contract relation in the old record raised questions for a family whose recorded dead might be associated with that channel. A notice on the shelter door would not answer for them.
Tessa put Juno’s draft on the table and began with what the trial could not do.
It could not release the whole reservoir. It could not establish awareness in every trace. It would not sever Eli’s inherited bonds. It might show whether a small ordinary System contract relation could be interrupted under watched conditions. Even a useful result would leave questions about the wider seal, the load path, and effects on anyone associated with the contract.
The proposed stop condition concerned pressure changes at named monitored points. The team intended to stop the action and withdraw if the threshold was reached. The second monitor was still being sought. No instrument could promise detection of every structural failure before it happened.
