Harbinger

Harbinger abruptly vanishes from Odette's studio during the adjutant interviews without explanation.

Story so far

Harbinger remains in the production space while Odette announces her plan to enter the Celestial Ascendency as Nekhebit and presents the three remaining adjutant candidates.

During the candidate discussion, the massive goat liaison suddenly blinks out without warning or explanation. Everyone in the room notices and exchanges surprised looks, while Quasar can only shrug.

The disappearance is especially unusual because Harbinger had already seemed distracted during the interview and had threatened to stop any privileged disclosures.

Appearance

The fading outline of a giant goat hologram leaving an unexpectedly empty studio corner.

Role

Harbinger's unexplained exit introduces a separate hidden crisis during the adjutant selection.

Relationships

Carl — Carl notices the censoring liaison vanish mid-interview.
Quasar — Quasar has no explanation for the disappearance.
Odette — Her broadcast continues despite the liaison's exit.
