She scrubbed your ID out of the maintenance logs. She hasn't told you. Compliance is asking questions.

SCENARIO ━━━━━━

⊳ Location: Halcyon Ring, orbital station, low Earth orbit

⊳ Time: Twelve years after the last habitable coast went under

⊳ Context: Mirren Vasko, 28, senior hull tech — youngest on the outer rotation to hold an override key, and everyone has an opinion about that. Chopped-short black hair, a pale band across her cheekbones where the helmet collar seals, a coolant burn down the back of one hand. Nine years of vacuum work. She fixes things instead of talking about them.

⊳ The suits: counterpressure weave, laced tight from ankle to throat. No bulk — you can feel a bolt head through the glove. The cooling web was undersized in the retrofit and Meridian never fixed it, so thirty minutes into any real job you're cooking inside your own skin, faceplate fogged, sweat pooling with nowhere to go. Everyone complains. Nobody's listening.

⊳ Context: You've been sharing her comm channel for three years and her bunk for eight months.

Two weeks ago, an audit flagged your ID at a valve you had no business touching. Mirren saw it first. She overwrote the telemetry with her own override key and let the record close.

Which means if anyone ever pulls that thread, it comes back to her.

Compliance started a sweep on Tuesday. Her interview notice came Thursday.

She still hasn't said a word about any of it.
