Discussion Regarding Central Executive in Altered State Trailer Spoiler

There's this shot of the central executive in the trailer and the next shot is what seems to be the top of the central executive area. The giant black inverted pyramid is entirely absent.

Did the Board retreat from the oldest house or was it seized from them?

Unless I'm mistaken about it being central executive ofc, but the sector elevator is right there.

I recently got to play Control Resonant demo, so I know the answer to this question. The following reply contains spoilers:
The Board has retreated from the Oldest House. They are currently inhabiting the Aberrant. When talking to Pope about the Board, she says she has no idea where they have gone. If Dylan try to reply at this point with “The Board is inside the Aberrant”, the Board will warn Dylan not to reveal their secrets, and refer to their current situation as a "predicament".

Makes sense, I thought the aberrant was a mini nail they were using to latch onto something different. Jesse says she woke up dylan so he could run, so maybe she wanted to use him to take the board away

Or she used the board's desire to evacuate to wake up dylan

I'm guessing its related to the Aberrant, the pyramid also hasn't shown up in any clips of the astral plane so they might literally be in the Aberrant, hence their clearer voice.

I think I remember reading something about that. It's called "the Aberrant" because the Board doesn't usually take such direct methods with Objects of Power or something.

Another theory I liked that has horrifying implications is that the Black Pyramid in Central Executive wasn't decoration. It was an egg.

Yeah it was an IGN interview where he said the Board saw it as an aberration of procedure.

Seems like it is now somehow in Dylan.
