The Nightwatchman wasn’t busy; was rarely busy. The building and warehouse hummed along. There was little to do. The buildings were secure, security was tight, the systems robust but the Company had a Nightwatchman because its clients wanted visible reassurance. So every night The Nightwatchman sat and watched. Clients could see that the screens, the feeds, the sensors, were always monitored. They could check in and see the patrols, The Nightwatchman checking on the building; ready to intervene, lock down, call for support. The Company had wanted the Nightwatchman to Agentic. The clients weren’t convinced. They wanted a human too.
