    Summary

    Late-afternoon crimson sunlight angled in from a small row of windows high on the inner wall, and sparkled off something above. Stretching to relieve some of the tension in his neck at the end of a long day, Barret happened to look up. Otherwise he probably wouldn’t have seen it.

    There was a kind of small bump on one of the pipes that hung from the ceiling, reachable from the maintenance workers’ catwalk fifteen feet above.

    If Barret knew anything, it was that those pipes didn’t carry water – they were electrical, housing wires. Following the offending pipe with his eyes, he could see it disappeared into a control box on the outer wall. So it was pretty weird to see gunk there – like the kind of buildup you got when a leaking water pipe started to rust.

    He pondered, for a minute, whether he should go up there to look at it. It could probably wait until tomorrow – except that tomorrow was Saturday. Still, it could probably wait until Monday.

    But—

    “Alright,” Barret said aloud.

    ***

    Barret is working at the newly-opened North Corel Mako Refinery as a safety inspector when he notices something amiss.
