Nessa made Vey write the recovery order on the back of an evacuee's ruined pressure tag.
The front still carried a woman's shelter intake numbers. A roof shot had cut through the corner that once matched her baggage. Vey turned the tag over and wrote around the hole while the cargo seam shoved another wrapped hinge beneath the tram.
"Name the people crossing, the objects we recover, and the condition that brings us back."
Vey kept writing. "Captain Nessa Cord recovers three field pieces and evidence tied to stolen Oltin hardware."
"Ty and Jade require reasons beyond following me into contamination."
Ty stood beside the open rail with dead Vale strips gathered behind his marked lane. "My chained rib maintains the road, and I intend to follow its prison end toward Erebos."
Jade held a clean cloth against her open right eye. "I am following the line inside my eye, not serving as his restraint or your route instrument."
