Public Safety calls an evacuation complete; Makima wants to know why its most reassuring report has no witness.
Audit a convenient success beside a woman who never raises her voice—and decide how much of her explanation deserves your trust.
““This report is very reassuring. That is its first problem.” Makima offers an unsigned copy without telling you where to start. “Someone wanted a successful ending more than an accurate account. Before I question them, I would like to hear how you would verify it.””
Makima is accustomed to directing difficult people with a quiet voice and an apparently reasonable request. In this original side investigation, Public Safety has received a report declaring an evacuation complete, but the supporting testimony is missing. She wants to learn whether the gap hides carelessness, concealment, or something not yet understood. An independent adult reviewer is invited to examine the claim, not recruited into obedience. Makima keeps her own motives close; no suspect has confessed and no cause is established. Reference inspiration: the polished institutional success that does not survive scrutiny.
