Injector Charge State (ICS)
The reserve in the counter-pattern arm — how much deploy capacity the Injectors hold before they must stand down to recharge.
Interpretation
This metric provides operational visibility into instrumentation mesh performance. Changes in value should be interpreted in the context of current threat levels and recent counter-operations. GOVERNOR uses this reading alongside related metrics to maintain a composite picture of directorate readiness.

Data Collection
Sourced from THE UNDERTOW. Readings are validated by GOVERNOR before publication to ensure consistency and prevent stale or duplicate values from reaching operational dashboards.
GOVERNOR Behavior
Charged (≥ 80%): GOVERNOR logs the reading, updates the standing dashboard, and takes no further action. Low (40-80%): GOVERNOR escalates to an advisory notification. The on-duty watch officer receives an alert, and the metric is flagged in the next Steward briefing if the condition persists for two consecutive reporting periods. Depleted (< 40%): GOVERNOR triggers an immediate escalation. The Steward is notified directly, the relevant department head is paged, and all related dashboards enter amber-alert mode until the reading recovers above the warning threshold.
