Under the perimeter orders the bridge files a copy of the operative as it goes: at insertion, at the door of each room it comes to, at each relay and at the head of each ladder. After PURGED it projects the operative again from the last copy, and an operative can ask for the same at any time.
A room the operative was fighting in stands open and empty again, as it was when the copy was filed. The projection's clock keeps running, and each re-projection goes on the record.
Marks
A copy that PURGED sent the operative back to leaves a mark on the floor where it was filed, with a count beside it. The mark stays in that arrangement for good.
Not recorded
Nothing in the record says what becomes of the pattern a copy replaces. The record says the same of PURGED.
