Chapter 115
The Final List
Elise built a list with one heading and no flourish:
Final list for correction hearing: names, keys, missing signatures, unverified routes.
Priya called it final enough to present. Mara said it's too early.
The list had twelve entries.
Not to show a full case.
To prevent another loop.
- Unknown owner alias
- Manual relay override
- unregistered key
- ignored frame
- no face in queue hold
- blank witness section
- hidden maintenance closet
- deleted notices
- contractor signature mismatch
- bridge relay route
- duplicate correction copies
- unknown source continuity messages.
The panel asked for proof for each entry and one more hour.
Priya delivered a mapped evidence index and Bell gave the keys.
Elise gave the list without decoration, and Mara handed in the route chain.
After the hearing, they sat in a stair landing and waited for one answer.
No immediate ruling.
The unknown source sent:
**A list without witness is easier to deny.
Elise said, "Then we add witness process names."
Priya added one column:
who witnessed under each line.
For every entry, one name appeared: Bell, Priya, Mara, or Elise.
No system can dispute that.
Elise wrote the line at the bottom:
If the system erases people, people still witness it.
