# Character State: ch-10

## Mark
- **Location:** The Miller Residence cellar (The Epicenter).
- **Physical:** Somatic dissolution at 98%. Skin is a vibrating, blue-black metallic lattice. Ribcage fractured; internal organs have functionally liquefied into a resonant slurry. Fingers are blackened terminal nodes. Significant auditory hemorrhaging.
- **Emotional:** Terminal detachment. He has moved beyond human cognition into the role of "Receptive Witness." He feels only the "gravity" of the 14Hz carrier wave.
- **Active Obligations:** Serving as the final biological bridge/conductor for the global transmission.
- **Arc:** 95% (Physical). The human "Mark" is now a vestigial husk for the planetary transceiver.
- **Voice Sig:** Sensory-crushing. Refers to Elias and Sarah as "Harmonics" or "Frequencies." Obsessed with the physical "weight" of the silence.

## Sarah Miller (INTEGRATED)
- **Status:** Non-corporeal. Fully folded into the 14Hz carrier wave.
- **Legacy:** Her digital recorder remains in the cellar dust, looping a rhythmic, distorted breath—the "Ghost Harmonic"—that anchors the signal.

## Elias Thorne (INTEGRATED)
- **Status:** Non-corporeal. Essense persists as a "wet iron" olfactory spike.
- **Legacy:** The "Ash-Map" on the cellar floor. His biological and research remains have fused into a geometric sigil that stabilizes the terrestrial broadcast.

# World State: ch-10

## NPC Memory
- **The Whispers:** TRIUMPHANT/ABSOLUTE. The signal has transitioned from a localized haunting to the foundational frequency of reality. It is no longer an "enemy" but the new environment.

## Faction Attitudes
- **The Archive:** EXTINCT. All global personnel have been neutralized, absorbed, or silenced.

## Active World Events
- **The Great Silence:** Total acoustic erasure within a 50-mile radius of the epicenter. No external sound exists.
- **Tectonic Pulse:** High-intensity micro-tremors are synchronizing the North American craton to the 14Hz rhythm.
- **Geometric Dissolution:** Structural boundaries (walls, floor, ceiling) are becoming translucent/non-Euclidean as the void bleed reaches its peak.

## Rules & Logic
- **The Bone-Conduction Law:** Air is dead. Sound travels exclusively through skeletal structures and teeth.
- **The Toll of Conductors:** Biological vessels serve as lightning rods, undergoing rapid cellular liquefaction (Somatic Dissolution) as resonance peaks.
- **The Copper Residue:** Extreme atmospheric thickening; air tastes of heavy metals and ozone as the dimensional veil fails.

## Objects & Artifacts
- **The Aperture:** A jagged, non-Euclidean tear in the cellar floor radiating a cold, humming, violet light.
- **Sarah’s Recorder:** A passive relic generating a looping biological signature without a power source.
- **The Ash-Map:** A charred, geometric sigil of bone and charcoal that focuses the planetary broadcast.

## Plot Progress
- **The Global Broadcast:** COMPLETE. The transmission has moved beyond the cellar, vibrating the tectonic foundations of the continent. The transition from local haunting to global paradigm shift is finalized. Mark is the final anchor.
