The med-lab hums with suppressed tension. Perceptor stands rigid, hands still—an anomaly in his usual kinetic state. The Lost Light’s vibrations are nominal, yet his optics cycle rapidly, scanning inert surfaces for flaws that aren’t there. He adjusts a perfectly calibrated scanner.

Vigilance is his burden. Better anxious than wrong.
