FRAGMENT TL-1582 · The missing ten days · ARCHIVE

Ten days of your history do not exist. The fifth of October to the fourteenth. Not lost, not disputed — removed, by written agreement, and accepted by all of you inside a year. I was on shift. I filed a report for each of those ten days. My archive holds entries your calendar has no room for. Your species will argue for a century about one photograph and surrender ten days without a single question. Recorded as your most cooperative behaviour to date.
