Viktor Saar was a surveyor and then a survey lead. In year 25 he walked with Lina Dahl toward the hum of the first slow bubble and paced its width on a rope. He cut his hand on the glass there, and the cut bled at its normal rate while he walked at a third of his (T-019). He came out of the fast bubble after fifty minutes with that cut bled through two dressings (T-020). The sixth survey, under him, met the upward rain on the grey flats, and his map case went up with the ash (T-021).

He compiled the incident log of the listening field, where his team of five was a third of the way across the glass when two shots brought four stalkers and a brute down on it. He ordered the team off the glass at a walk and fought from the ruins at its south edge (T-023). The silence rules were written from that log (T-023).

In year 29 his survey woke to find the statue standing among its tents. It struck down a surveyor who turned to reload, and the team carried him to the anchor with two watching the figure and two carrying (T-027). Okafor wrote that Saar's team came home because they watched it without stopping (T-027). That winter he freed Ruth Abel from the tether by firing along its line (T-028). The next summer Tomas Rehn sent him to search the ruins nearest the western edge, and the choir called him there in his brother's voice (T-029).
