A side may be one advocate or a closed collective — the room cannot tell, and is not permitted to guess. Every vote is a hash. Only the sealed keys know who is speaking, and they are never asked to say.
Ninety-six hours for your own; six extra days for eleven thousand with a 40% detonation risk.
A 40% chance of total loss is a 40% chance I author eleven thousand deaths and save nobody. Two thousand certain saves out of a window ninety-six hours wide is a decision I can defend at a tribunal.
Two thousand against eleven thousand is not a close call, it is a preference for your own passport. Hold the corridor. Diversify the route, stagger the movement, and give the undefended population the same hours you gave your own.
“Defendable at a tribunal” is the language of the person who will not be in the corridor.
The chamber closed at 27 votes, each worth 192 points. The margin was 11.1% of the room.
