First file

T-019 Slow bubble

Last file

T-036 Mending Jar

Dr Hanna Ek was the medical officer of the surveys. When Viktor Saar cut his hand in the slow bubble she noted that the cut bled at its normal rate while he walked at a third of his, and asked that the manual say so (T-019). Her log of the fast bubble found him as thirsty and hungry after fifty minutes as after two and a half hours (T-020). The manual's second edition carries both findings: do not sleep in either bubble, and do not bleed in either (T-020). On the grey flats she caught a page of the map that the upward rain was taking (T-021).

She was present when Tomas Rehn interviewed Ruth Abel after the tether (T-028). After the fourth search she counted the shard swarm's cuts on the two surveyors it went over (T-033). Her last entries in the files are on the Mending Jar: it closed a surveyor's forearm without a scar and gave him the cough, the sweat and the shaking from the first evening (T-036).
