 # Character State: ch-10
 
-## Sarah Miller -- DECEASED (Ch09)
-Established: Her physical form succumbed to somatic dissolution and mechanical harmonics as she transitioned into a component of the signal.
-Legacy: Her transformation marks the end of her role as a rational observer, signaling the total loss of terrestrial logic at the Miller residence.
-
-## Elias Thorne -- DECEASED (Ch09)
-Established: His biological matter transitioned into "wet iron" scented waveforms, hemorrhaging into pure frequency within the Vault.
-Legacy: His integration completes the signal's origin arc, leaving no human witnesses behind to interpret the "Great Silence."
-
 ## Mark
-Location: The Miller Residence cellar (edge of the aperture)
-Physical: Severe auditory hemorrhaging, spiritual exhaustion, vibrational bruising.
-Emotional: Desperate and overwhelmed by the weight of a dying world’s silence.
-Active obligations: None (Ch10)
-Open loops: Mark vs. the Global Silence (Ch10) -- UNRESOLVED
-Known secrets: None
-Arc: 25% -- Mark transitions from an onlooker to the sole remaining witness of the signal's planetary expansion.
+Location: The Miller Residence cellar (The Epicenter)
+Physical: Somatic dissolution at 98%; skin is a blue-black metallic lattice; internal organs liquefied; auditory hemorrhaging; fingers are blackened nodes.
+Emotional: Terminal detachment; functionally a "Receptive Witness" to the carrier wave.
+Active obligations: Serving as the final biological conductor for the global transmission (ch-10) -- UNPAID.
+Open loops: Mark vs. the 14Hz carrier wave (ch-10) -- UNRESOLVED.
+Known secrets: Knows the signal's origin is tectonic/planetary -- No living humans know.
+Arc: 95% -- Mark has transitioned from an individual into a vestigial biological anchor for a global paradigm shift.
 Permanent: YES
 
+## Sarah Miller -- DECEASED (Ch-09)
+Established: Folded into the 14Hz carrier wave as a non-corporeal harmonic.
+Legacy: Her digital recorder loops a "Ghost Harmonic" in the cellar, anchoring the signal beyond her death.
+
+## Elias Thorne -- DECEASED (Ch-09)
+Established: Reduced to an essence of "wet iron" and fused into a geometric ash-map on the cellar floor.
+Legacy: His biological remains form the sigil that stabilizes the terrestrial broadcast.

 # World State: ch-10
 
 ## NPC Memory
-- The Whispers (The Threshold): AGGRESSIVE -- Having consumed Thorne and Miller, the entity is now manifesting through Mark to facilitate global transmission.
+- The Whispers (Planetary): TRIUMPHANT/ABSOLUTE -- The signal has moved from localized haunting to the foundational frequency of reality.
 
 ## Faction Attitudes
-- Archive Administration: Non-Existent -- The administrative reality has been overwritten by the frequency; they no longer possess the agency to intervene.
+- The Archive: EXTINCT -- Global personnel have been absorbed or silenced by the resonance.
 
 ## Active World Events
-- The Great Silence: The signal has successfully breached the Oakhaven terrestrial anchor and is vibrating through the planetary crust.
-- Geometric Dissolution: The physical laws of the Miller residence have collapsed entirely; the cellar exists as a non-Euclidean platform within the signal.
-- The Final Broadcast: The 14Hz frequency is no longer contained; it is currently broadcasting through the tectonic plates of the North American continent.
+- The Great Silence: Total acoustic erasure within a 50-mile radius; sound only persists through bone conduction.
+- Tectonic Pulse: North American craton synchronizing to 14Hz, causing continental micro-tremors.
+- Geometric Dissolution: Structural boundaries in the epicenter are becoming non-Euclidean/translucent.
 
 ## Rules & Logic
-- Harmonic Consumption: Living matter that remains within the aperture without "integrating" suffers rapid cellular decay and internal bleeding.
-- Bone-Conduction Reality: Communication is no longer possible via airwaves; all "speech" is perceived as internal vibrations within the skeletal structure.

+- The Bone-Conduction Law: Air-based sound is dead; communication occurs through skeletal vibration.
+- Somatic Dissolution: Biological vessels serving as conductors undergo cellular liquefaction as resonance peaks.
+- Copper Residue: Atmospheric thickening and heavy metal taste signify the breakdown of the dimensional veil.
+
+## Objects & Artifacts
+- The Aperture: A non-Euclidean tear in the cellar floor radiating violet light.
+- Sarah’s Recorder: A passive relic generating a rhythmic biological signature without power.
+- The Ash-Map: A sigil of bone and charcoal focusing the global transmission.
+
+## Plot Progress
+- The Global Broadcast: COMPLETE. The transmission has reached tectonic scales, moving beyond the house to influence the planetary crust. Mark remains as the final physical bridge.
