Station CQ-03, 14 and 15 March 2018. The archive it came out of is 14.2 GB because the ingest swallowed everything on one stream - tide and salinity and wind at one sample a minute, which is nothing, and alongside it the raw NMEA off every receiver on the yard, which is not. This is the part with the authorisation records in it.

Nine pages. Page seven is an engineer signing off that the authorisation chain is intact. The bars are theirs and the provision they relied on is cited beside each one.

The copy I cut to fit a card the night I left, and the copy my solicitor held for four years. It is the first 4,194,304 bytes of the capture above and nothing else - check it against the full file and they agree byte for byte to the cut. The authorisation block is not in it. Neither is the empty operator field. For four years my insurance did not contain the evidence.

Two pages. Eleven records my solicitor asked them to keep, fourteen days to acknowledge, sent recorded delivery and by email. Item 4 is the archive this capture came out of. Item 8 is thirty days of camera. There was never a reply on his file and I never chased it, because by June chasing it meant giving somebody a return address. The bars on this one are mine.

A photograph of the shelf slip for my box. She says she worked at the storage company, and that the initials are hers. It came off the shelf once, in November 2021, for a conflict check when the firms merged, and went back the same afternoon. Seal intact. I can't check any of it. I don't know where it came from.

Written in by someone who says he worked shifts there the year before. It does not help me. Published as it arrived, nothing cut. I don't know who sent it.

The letter I wrote to the four families in year three and never posted. Four pages. It has been on the boat ever since and wet twice. Typed out from the carried copy with the names blanked. Nothing else changed. I read it in full in 07, and then I say why it never went.

The one that will go. One page. Written on the Tuesday after the last upload. It is here first so that nobody, including me, can change a word of it between now and the day it is delivered. After the tenth. By hand.

Page 41 of the other book. Everything a sensible man would have done in March 2018 that I didn't. Ten lines, one added this week by a man who used to repair the equipment. If you think of one I've missed, tell me. It goes on.

Everything. Every document I hold about that night, in one bundle, with one fingerprint. The upload for this one failed twice, so nothing is being held back for the tenth. Copy it. Send it to someone. Put it somewhere I can't reach.

Three lines from the man who signed page seven. He isn't lying. He looked at what he was handed, and it was clean.

The index of what is in the box. Item 3 is the drive I handed over in March 2018, sealed, signed across the seal. Not opened. Not copied. It opens for one person.
