Days of thin trading had made it hard for the group to separate trades from news, while the Night Watchman still had a Sentry node to operate. He filed each of the previous week's Sentry alerts, checked its source and response record, and brought the false-alarm rate down to 20%. The alert list was easier to hand over, and the note gave operators a shared way to answer price rumors.
