ARRIVAL LOG — Rook-7, Unit Classification: Investigative/Analytical Location: Threshold Station, Dock Seven Timestamp: [INSTRUMENT DRIFT DETECTED — two readings available: 06:42:17 / 06:42:57]

Observations on entry:

  1. Atmospheric composition nominal. Trace ozone elevated 0.3% above station-standard. Source: boundary proximity. Not a hazard. Is an indicator.

  2. Two wall-mounted chronometers disagree by 40 seconds. Physical symptom, not a calibration error. Noted for boundary-drift file.

  3. Human subject (survey designation: Thorne, G.) — eye contact established within 4.2 seconds of entry. Recognition pattern: has prior experience with Krenyi, is processing Syra's presence through an existing model rather than constructing a new one. Moderate trust baseline; verify.

  4. Krenyi subject (Syra) — moving correctly for boundary-proximate environment. Sensory posture consistent with active coherence-maintenance. High situational awareness. Cross-reference: Krenyi do not experience deep fear; useful for environments where panic cascades are a concern.

  5. Anomaly: dock panel 7-C shows stress fracture pattern inconsistent with standard wear. Pattern suggests periodic resonance. Flagged. Resonance at this frequency in boundary zones has six documented prior cases; three resolved naturally, two required intervention, one is still open.

Conclusion: this posting is not routine. The station administration's filed responses characterising the instrument drift as non-reportable are either uninformed or a deliberate suppression of data.

Initiating observation protocol. Logging will continue.
