About
Her brother is fourth on the Foundry's Friday evening shift board. On the morning of 20 March she reads nothing — she has not been near Sarah's rule sheet, because she has been in a plant room three quarters of a kilometre from it — and walks off the South Thermal floor at about nine with a coat, a bar and Ortiz's spare set of loop keys. She island-hops the freight road on the loop keys, pump house to pump house, exactly as a plant worker would. She reaches the Foundry fence, looks at four hundred metres of open yard with the wind straight down it, does the arithmetic and turns back to the fourth pump house.

Reads the nineteen names Sarah copies off the chalk shift board, lying on the floor of the rover with the lamp held down for her, twice. "That's nothing." Her brother's status is unresolved and stays unresolved. So do the other eighteen on that board. Do not close the Foundry ward.
