August 2051. Three storm pairs, three gaps that refuse to average. Marcy Kuhl's refusal comes back from the ash vendor's agent as a date eleven days before Ken's lime. Gary Holtz's two laterals pull apart but can't be told from summer. Terraline issues 1,140 tonnes on fourteen unsampled fields using a factor built from Janelle's plot, and she answers with one row at the top of a public file. Ken replies HOLD. Nine of twelve, six weeks, the first ink on card thirteen.
