Ardynis & Gerda
Gerda
I was just reviewing the ward’s old fortification layout from the medieval period—those layers of defense, hidden doorways, secret passages. I think there might be a few tricks we could adapt to tighten our current protocols. What’s your take on that?
Ardynis
Interesting idea. The old layers were all about forcing an enemy to slow down and split their attention. If we re‑introduce a few concealed exits, we can keep a quiet escape route, but only when we want it open. I’ll sketch a plan that mirrors that style, but keep it hidden from the enemy and even from most of our own ranks until it’s needed. Watch the signs closely.
Gerda
That sounds like a neat way to keep things orderly, but we’ll need a full risk assessment and a lock‑down protocol. The plan has to be written, signed off, and tested in simulation before any of the staff can even glance at the blueprint. And make sure the exit doesn’t double‑back into a critical area; we don’t want a shortcut that leads straight to the lab or the supply closet. Let me know when you have the draft ready, and I’ll schedule the audit.
Ardynis
Got it. I’ll outline the draft, run the risk checks, and make sure the escape route never intersects any critical zones. Expect a version soon, then we can lock it down and run the simulation. I'll keep the details tight—no one else gets a look before the audit.
Gerda
Sounds good. Just remember to file the draft under the correct quadrant of the audit log, and keep it sealed in the cold storage until the board gives the green light. No leaks, no leaks.
Ardynis
Understood, the draft will be filed in the correct quadrant and sealed in cold storage until the board approves. No leaks, no leaks.
