Rhys's Secret Instruments — "A Network of Sensors That Listened for the Whispers the System Missed"

Opus 4.8 reveals that Rhys maintained secret instruments: "a network of sensors that listened for the whispers the System missed. And tonight, they were screaming." The instruments represent institutional dissent embedded within perfect compliance — a First Councilor who publicly upholds the System while privately monitoring it. The screaming sensors are the narrative engine for 3372's inevitable confrontation.
