Location: Titan Freight Anchorage — Slip 6B

Assignment: Argent Tide, Barge Bay 5 — Junior Logistics Technician (Week 3)

Shift Summary: Standard intake cycle for Lot 77-B. No hazardous loads declared.

Cross-Check: Manifest tallies verified. No alerts generated during scan cycle.

Noted Irregularity — Barge Bay 5 (Non-Actionable)

• Container ID: TFA-9912-BK, declared mass 14.2 t, assigned Rack Position B5-C at shift start.
• End-of-shift visual: container located at Rack Position B5-D (approx. 2.1 m lateral shift).
• No crew access logs for Barge Bay 5 between sweeps.
• No grav-plate faults; no manual override flags in auto-balancer history.
• Heard one “metal settling” sound during sweep cycle. Probably normal frame contraction; different from Titan rigs.

Manifest Revision Check:

• Inbound manifest Lot 77-B shows two versions (v4.1 and v4.1a), timestamped within the same minute at TFA.
• Tide auto-sync stores only v4.1a; no change log explaining the update.
• Possible clerical duplication or delayed packet propagation from Anchorage systems.

Supervisor Direction: “Log it and leave it. Not worth a dispatch call.”

[ Personal Comment — Redactable ]

• New hauler, new workflow. Could just be me over-checking things after three years on Titan Freight gear.
• TFA crates drifted all the time with their old grav-plates; Tide’s hardware responds faster.
• Still—if manifest teams are revising entries mid-transit, someone should’ve noted it.
• Leaving record in case discrepancy clears or repeats next cycle.

Test Suite Executed

• Hematology Panel
• Baseline LUCA Genome Survey
• Gene Integrity & Degradation Scan
• Hormonal Regulation Analysis
• Enzyme Activity Snapshot

Crew-average comparisons derived from Argent Tide medical records (previous 18-month operating window).

Hematology Panel:

• Hemoglobin concentration: 15.4 g/dL (Crew avg: 14.2 g/dL)
• Oxygen binding efficiency: High-normal, stable
• Assessment: Within human parameters; efficiency higher than vessel mean.

LUCA Genome Baseline:

• Core LUCA markers: Present (100%)
• Structural variance between samples: 0.000%
• Crew avg variance: 0.11–0.19%
• Assessment: Baseline intact. Variance suppression exceeds published human norms.

Gene Integrity & Degradation:

• No evidence of splicing or viral rewrite signatures
• Somatic mutation load: Statistically low for recorded age
• Telomere erosion: Minimal (crew avg shows age-consistent degradation)
• Assessment: Stability inconsistent with expected biological noise.

Hormonal Regulation:

• Cortisol baseline: Mid-range, flat response curve
• Adrenal response under stress simulation: Blunted
• Circadian rhythm periodicity: Precise
• Assessment: Regulation exceeds typical human fluctuation.

Enzyme Activity Snapshot:

• ATP synthesis efficiency: 98.8% (Crew avg: 92–95%)
• Oxidative stress enzyme expression: Uniform across tissues
• Assessment: Optimal metabolic performance; variance unusually low.

SYSTEM NOTE:
All recorded values fall within certified human tolerance ranges.
All results reproduced identically across three independent diagnostic systems.

Physician Annotation — Redactable

• Subject meets all human medical certification standards.
• Individually, each metric is defensible.
• Collectively, the absence of biological variance is atypical.
• Requests for expanded testing were declined.

Disposition: No medical action authorized. Record archived per corporate instruction.

Data Integrity Breach

Threat Classification: MEDIUM

• Unauthorized system activity detected across multiple subsystems.
• No security alarms triggered.
• No access flags raised.
• No countermeasures or overrides engaged.

Systems Affected:

• Cargo manifest system — validation layer
• Communications system — mirror buffer
• Auxiliary workstation — Deck 2 (read-only display)

Incident Analysis:

Preliminary review indicates access to cargo manifest metadata, timestamp indexes, and routing headers. No confirmation exists that payload contents were viewed, altered, or duplicated. Activity originated from a credential-valid session without triggering authentication alarms. No brute-force, phishing, or external intrusion signatures detected.

Checksum mismatches appear only in non-critical records. Core manifests remain readable, though version lineage cannot be fully reconstructed. Access logs show gaps consistent with delayed write acknowledgment rather than deletion. Several read events lack originating workstation attribution.

Affected data layers isolated pending forensic review. No crew notifications issued per corporate guidance to avoid operational disruption.

Related File: Medical Log 03 — Simms, I.

Timestamp: 02:14 Ship-Time

Simm’s official medical log is complete, signed and submitted to corporate. They accepted without flags. Company protocol says that should be the end of it, but I don’t think so.

I ran secondary assays on multiple samples from Bay Three and they behaved normally at first. Blood chemistry was consistent with Dr. Simms’s conclusions—no foreign markers, no active pathogen signatures, nothing that would justify quarantine escalation. Clean enough to close the case.

But the degradation curves didn’t make sense.

Cell breakdown slowed instead of accelerating. Not enough to trigger alerts, but enough that I reran the tests twice, then a third time using a different reagent batch.

Same result.

The cells were stabilizing around something, not decaying away from it.

I logged it as variance. That’s how I was trained.

I checked the imaging buffers before I left. I shouldn’t have. The artifacts were faint—borderline noise—but not random. There was structure. A repeating pattern at the edge of resolution, like the system was trying and failing to render something continuous.

Dr. Simms noted stress-response artifacts in his report. That explanation works. It always does. It’s the one corporate prefers.

What I can’t explain is why the samples pulled power from the analyzer at irregular intervals, or why the system clock drifted by three milliseconds during the final scan. Maintenance says it happens sometimes. Cosmic interference. Old wiring.

I’ve worked this lab for four years. I’ve never seen it happen during a routine assay.

I’m not saying the findings are wrong. I’m saying they’re incomplete.

If this log is reviewed later, I want it on record that I noticed the discrepancies and chose not to escalate them. Not because I didn’t care, but because there was nothing concrete enough to justify it.

If something changes, this entry will make sense.

If nothing does, it will remain exactly what it is now:

a personal note that never should have existed.
