PERSONAL RECORDER TRANSCRIPT — E. YUEN — UNDATED
Recovered from the personal locker of Erica Yuen, junior compression tech, after the retrieval team's departure. Forty-one seconds. Ambient: spire-stack fan-noise, second harmonic. One voice. The recorder is held close.
— so I'm telling you it couldn't have been her. Cardenas was in the spire all night, the whole of day 14, I saw the access log, I logged through it myself when I came on shift —
— no, I know what they're saying.
— I went to the Father. I asked him. Father, was it the Director? And he — he wouldn't look at me. He kept the psalter in his lap and he wouldn't look at me. That's how I know.
— if they ask, I'll say I was on shift. I'll say I saw nothing. But I won't say it was her, and I won't say it was him either, because it wasn't.
