Cell 317

Cell 317 is one of the pre‑assigned dispersal cells formed during the emergency evacuation at the Concent of Saunt Tredegarh. It exemplifies the planned scheme to scatter personnel into small, coordinated groups while maintaining communication via embedded Ita.

Composition and Leadership

• On-the-ground lead: Lio, recognized by Valers with formal courtesies when boarding.
• Core avout observed: Fraa Erasmas, Fraa Jesry, Fraa Arsibalt, and Fraa Jad.
• Vale cohort: several Valers from the Ringing Vale, including Fraa Osa, Suur Vay, Suur Esma, and Fraa Gratho (identified at muster). See Valers.
• Ita support: Sammann handles communications and Reticulum messaging for the group.
• Guest: Jules Verne Durand, a Laterran linguist, joins the cell carrying preserved provisions compatible with his biology.
• Military element: seated flight crew and soldiers escort and operate the cell’s transport.

Context and Role

• Formation and muster: When dispersal is ordered, badges route members to a designated coach where the driver confirms assignment as “Cell 317.” Rucksacks are staged for quick embarkation (“quick on, quick off”).
• Affiliation: The cell structure is part of the broader Tredegarh dispersal plan overseen by Ala; each cell is intended to function autonomously yet remain coordinated through Ita.
• Movement: After assembling on a commandeered coach, Cell 317 transfers under escort to a military aerocraft and departs Tredegarh.

Status

In transit under military escort following departure from Tredegarh. Immediate destination and subsequent tasking are not stated in available accounts.
