A Proposal to Collar the Anstolik Refused

In 2832 UCSD, the survey's second year on the ground on Fliade, Instrument Specialist Toma Egede proposes fitting twelve Anstolik with passive detection collars against unauthorised taking. Survey Lead Hesper Nakagawa withholds the countersign, because the herds range into the upper cavern levels and the instrument would walk toward the deep networks on a schedule nobody sets, and files the prospectus complete with the refusal. A copy is lodged with the Survey Archive at Threshold Station the same year, at the survey lead's request.

Canon facts:

• The proposal was not adopted. Neither half of the filed document is the Archive's voice.
• The ground the survey lead gave, in the survey lead's own words, is that the response had been written before the finding.
