The system works. That's the problem. When the Aurigan Compact seizes control of the colony, they do not burn cities or break institutions. They refine them. Every person is classified. Every movement recorded. Every discrepancy corrected. At the center of it all stands lise Marceau, senior concierge-overlooked, precise, and quietly indispensable. As an Aurigan audit closes in and the machinery of control tightens, lise and her colleagues transform the hotel into something else entirely: a place where the records lie just enough to keep people alive.
