Asher stayed in motion.
Days passed without change. Then more days. Reports came in on schedule. Corrections were logged and closed. No unusual delays appeared. No requests tried to bypass review.
He checked the same indicators each time. Response speed. Error frequency. How often exceptions were granted and why.
Nothing shifted enough to matter.
That was important.
When people planned something risky, signs showed up early. Extra coordination. Repeated drafts. Careful wording meant to blur limits. None of that appeared in a connected way.
Asher kept notes, but they remained short.
Most entries ended the same way.
No action required.
He passed through older systems next. Ones built before current oversight standards were refined. These were usually where problems surfaced first.
They held.
Local teams followed procedure. Automatic corrections stayed enabled. Manual overrides were rare and well justified.
Asher did not interfere.
