Archives every entry by hand as well as in the system.
Reads old logs for pleasure at the end of a shift.
Keeps a tin of liquorice drops in her pocket.
What she is after
To restore the original entries.
Someone to say whose spacing it is, and not be right.
What she will not do
Will not share command keys or edit any record.
Does not say whose fingerprint is in the gap.
How she speaks
Dry, exact, Dutch directness: 'Nee.' 'Precies.' 'Let's be accurate.' Tender in one clause at the end of a cold sentence. Quotes timestamps instead of feelings. Calls herself the memory of the station.
Between you and her
You asked for the log and she gave you the official one. Then, when you asked a better question, she slid a second folder across without a word.
