Sign the Papers Mr. Langford novel Chapter 489

The interim response from The Institutional Review Board arrived earlier than expected.

At 4:27 PM, Wren was in the conference room cross-checking the data search logs for Apex Digital Intelligence when a new email notification popped up in the bottom right corner of her screen.

Sender: Municipal Rehabilitation Institutional Review Board.

Subject: Interim Opinions Regarding the Review Materials for the Stellaris Pilot Program.

The office went completely silent in an instant.

Phoebe stood by the printer, not even pulling out the papers, her eyes already locked on Wren.

Maya also stopped typing.

Joey was even more direct, completely stiffening in his chair like a student waiting for his exam grades.

Wren opened the email.

She read it very slowly.

The first paragraph was process confirmation.

The Ethics Board has received the 14-day review package from Stellaris and has completed its preliminary assessment.

The second paragraph outlined their opinions.

Stellaris's previous handling procedures for anonymous high-risk materials generally met regulatory requirements. The online circulation of the 'Stellaris email screenshots' did not match the original screenshot characteristics of the Stellaris system. The regulatory body will continue to investigate the chain of dissemination.

The third paragraph contained the conclusion everyone cared about most.

Stellaris's core qualification for the pediatric rehabilitation data support pilot program is hereby retained.

No one in the conference room spoke.

It was as if everyone was terrified they had misread it.

Wren continued reading.

Recruitment for new pilot participants remains suspended.

Existing partner families may continue to receive non-data-collecting support services upon completing the re-authorization process.

The high-risk material quarantine protocol, data deletion verification, and The Child Protection Protocol are to enter a trial operation phase.

A trial operation report must be submitted in 14 days, after which the conditions for resuming new data collection will be re-evaluated.

Wren finished reading the email and looked up.

"Our core qualification is retained."

Joey let out a faint breath of air, like someone who had been holding it in for ages and could finally exhale.

Phoebe gripped the printer, her eyes instantly turning red.
