Wen Chori
Good. Sufficient for overwatch and threat classification on transit. Pattern-recognition without system depth to integrate it automatically — does the work manually.
Low. Not stealth-oriented.
Supports 5 skill slots. Receives overlay shares but cannot parse resonance-loop data cleanly.
Too low for shared resonance loops at Maren's depth. Data share arrives muddy — technically received, not clean enough to act on without verbal translation. In two years, will scale to functional loop participation.
Baseline. Not engagement-primary.
Moderate. Signal threshold running attention divided between situational awareness and operational anxiety.
Description
Signal-based threat identification and
prioritization. Corridor intersection
sweep during transit. Manual pattern-
recognition at current depth.
Governs Signal.
Description
Sustained situational awareness in
support position. Provides coverage
for team movement. Good instincts,
good spacing, good positioning.
Governs Signal.
Description
Visual assessment of physical damage.
Identified burn through Dex's armor.
Foundation-level medical awareness
for combat triage support.
Governs Signal + Echo.
- › Newest team member. 3 missions with fireteam. Learning.
- › Nervous but controlling it. Signal running at threshold frequency — attention divided.
- › Good positioning, good spacing. Competent. Not yet deep.
- › Cannot participate in resonance loops cleanly — data arrives muddy at Echo 18.
- › Maren uses verbal relay with Wen. Adjusted comms approach after second mission.
- › Received system event during extraction that she hadn't encountered before.
- › Listening to Solis teach during Dex's treatment. Understood she was receiving something worth receiving.
- › Tone is even when receiving deployment decisions. She was learning.
Behind her, Wen Chori was doing a competent job of not showing that she was nervous. Her overlay read Chori, W. — Specialist — IL 21 — HP: 100% — SP: 100% — Status: clear — the clean numbers of someone who hadn't been hit yet and whose system had nothing to report. Wen was three missions with the team. Her positioning was good. Her spacing was good. But her Signal was running at a threshold frequency that Maren's Team Sense translated as attention divided — situational awareness and operational anxiety sharing the same bandwidth.
