Ruth is named in two records from the city. At the Coldharbor interchange she asked for the receiving signature on a freight order going down to LIMINAL SUBGRADE, and was given the spare carbon. Neither sheet was signed.
Her survey connects the lit floor, its changing passages and the freight lift to the facility beneath the streets. The copy is kept on a desk in the survey level under the lit floor.
Ruth's Other Copy
A note left for her says that her first drawing was kept. The relay, the returns desk and the sealed lift are all still there, and yesterday's connecting passages are not. The writer numbered the rooms so the next person could at least say where they were, and asked whoever took the copy to keep the route they used to come back, because the people below keep asking for that part to be erased.
The survey below
Brought out alive, the unfinished survey can be read into the receiver station in Sector 7. There it opens Outside the Drawing, an investigation of an inspection branch left off the facility's drawings, during the Unlisted Return.
