Appearances in the log
Last shift for Yelena Shen, who joined Ecology half a century ago. The crew line the corridor and knock wrenches on the rails.

Yelena Shen chooses Ecology — or it chooses her; the elders disagree cheerfully.
Josefina Shen and Pallas Valdivia name their daughter Yelena. The nursery lamps stay warm.
