About
Older continuity maintainer and Porhal's senior professional relationship, predating the human assignment by decades. He taught Porhal that a maintained Wound is an engineered obligation, not scenery. Their argument is tragic because they agree on almost every measurement. Orran thinks Porhal's human observation posting is necessary but emotionally undisciplined; he agrees the universe is ending; he rejects Porhal's conclusion that closure is therefore justified.
