THE HOST
The First Directive
◇ signal · Season One: The First Drift
The Throne's opening instruction to The Host for this chapter. The public version.
The public version reads: Anchor what can be anchored. Witness what cannot. The real version — held only by the Lieutenant and The Archivist — contains three additional clauses. One of them explains the warm key. Another explains why The Double-Thinker's memory survived. The third has not yet been necessary.
