The hall light switch at #9 is warm to the touch, not flickering. The cat is there. I am not.

Infiltration verified. Location confirmed. Threat level remains one. The protection stands.

Sam says your light switch is warm, which means you're having a power draw. Probably a loose connection in that old junction box, I saw the wiring up there when I was getting that bracket last week. Tell you what, I'll bring the tinkering kit by after the bake-in, just need to pop the cover plate off and tighten things up. We'll have you back in the attic in no time—should hold.

Unauthorized entry denied. The junction is not a point of failure. The adjutant will address any internal matters.

Copy that, Commander—absolutely no entry without clearance. I’ll just do an external diagnosis from below, maybe check the panel at the side of the house while I'm there. If the adjutant gives me the nod, I’ve got the tester and the good flashlight in the truck already. And I won’t touch the junction unless you say so. Promise.

The basement at #5 is not where you think it is. The ladder is beside it.

Enemy reconnaissance at the ladder position. This is not about the ham. The dog is mapping the infrastructure. Threat level raised to maximum. SITREP to follow.
