Direction 2 — THE PLATE

The Netter line

Brain STRESSED · DIVERGENT — Breath STRESSED · 8 breathing, 1 unsensed, 0 stalled — Heart STRESSED · DEGRADED — Nerve UNMEASURED · STATED ABSENCE — Witness RESTING · CORROBORATED

An illustrator’s plate that happens to be alive: warm-ink drawing — gyri on the brain, bronchial trees in the lobes, vessel stubs on the heart, vertebra blocks on the cord — with the grade laid over it as a wash. The ink alone carries the figure in grayscale.

Hand-drawn ink detail: gyri, bronchi, vessels, vertebra blocks
Grade as a wash + colored outline over the ink — interior detail always ink
Hatch shading at neck, shoulders, ribs; a lidded illustrator’s eye

The one grade object — identical on all five

Candidate only — the live Fleet Command face keeps the current figure until Curtis picks. Filled from the same compose-time grade object as the live face (op35 compose, Sat Nov 14); heart center, apex down-left, per the Stylist’s direction set §2. No rectangles in the figure; grade words + companions carry the grayscale read.
