Chapter 135, The Last Scout and the Signal
Chapter job: Combine final base intelligence with Gideon’s signal returning as battle pressure.
Physical frame: Last scout run to the base, radio / signal work, Sara and Ava receiving the truth that the Legends are not only memory.
Emotional spine: A voice / signal can feel like rescue and a wound at the same time.
Living-world realism: The scout must pass through watched, used, or damaged roads, with the possibility that other living people also noticed the base or signal.
Carry forward: Chapter 136 receives final intelligence, Gideon pressure, and the need to move the rear line.
Must preserve: The Legends do not fully return yet. The signal is battle intelligence and emotional ignition, not a clean reunion.
