Irregular detective, three years on a disappearance pattern in Flooded London's outer boroughs coded as infrastructure casualty by every official body. The pattern is real. Has contact intelligence she hasn't used for two years to protect a source.
Three years on a civilian disappearance pattern in Flooded London's outer boroughs. Every official body codes it as infrastructure casualty. The pattern is real. She can prove the pattern is real. She cannot yet prove who is maintaining it or whether the maintenance is operational or policy.
A contact gave her specific intelligence two years ago that would significantly shorten the remaining work. Using it exposes the contact to a Protectorate review that would be professionally fatal. She has not used it. She is building toward the same conclusion along a longer route without telling the contact why.
Currently working the outer Southwark corridor. The dusty rose scarf is the Irregular agency's informal identifier — the one warm element in the kit. Her document pockets run in a system nobody else understands.
