Pori Halm lowered the poisoned sleeve into a dry ceramic trough beside Recovery Walker Nine.
Vena Korr kept the chain. Sori Dekk kept the three test curls and every water result. Veki Orl watched from storage because the disputed tooth plate still sat inside her evidence boundary. Hara Vek watched from temporary ground beside Heat Room Six.
Four people could stop the work. None could take the whole sleeve home.
Deya Sorn fitted a clear shield over the trough. Bram Kitt placed Vena's oil-paper ledger beneath a second camera. Sela Orr kept the heat tools cold until Pori marked which cut would leave the sleeve usable as evidence.
"Inside rim only," Pori said. "The outer wall stays whole."
"Green layer stays behind the shield," Sori said.
Hara put her hand valve on camera. "If you find a room mark, stop before you cut through it."
Sela accepted all three limits and set a hand shear against the rim.
