Fourth Post Silent Since Array Activation

Since the Cross-Post Correlation Array went active, the listening post statistically most likely to intercept the next Black Signal fragment has recorded nothing at all — an absence that Pattern Analysis considers as significant as a fourth recovery would have been.

Summary

Based on the interval and directional data suggested by SIG-0023, Signal Analysis projected a fourth fragment would most likely surface at the northern post within the array's first quarter of operation. It has not. The post has recorded no anomalies of any kind in that window, which Pattern Analysis flags as itself unusual for that location.

Cross-Department Note

Pattern Analysis, which maintains the Silent Ocean arc for exactly this kind of statistically improbable quiet, has asked to be looped into Black Signal review. This is the first formal point of contact between the two arcs.
