T-047 The pollution

Ines Varro led the survey team of the agency's colony on the planet. Her notes on the burrower came home with the team's film in year 42: "We lost Dana because she fired." The team had learnt to stop the rover's engine and wait, and had asked the agency for walls around the yards (T-045). The agency sent the colony more fences (T-045).

She filmed a drifter over the colony's yard at night, and her report ended: the colony now sleeps indoors (T-046). That report was the colony's last but one. The last was a single line, sent on the evening of Year 43, month 2, day 16, and signed by Varro: dust storm coming, all indoors, the lab dome's sealed room closed (T-046).

Before the end she shut the sample case in that sealed room and wrote on it: do not open, do not send (the medic's note, a journal find). The relief flight found it there, labelled in her hand, and carried it home (T-047).
