Appearances in the log
Last shift for Basma Othman, who joined Archive & Schools half a century ago. The crew line the corridor and knock wrenches on the rails.
A wedding at brightening. Amir Rizk, Archive & Schools; Basma Othman, Archive & Schools. The ship approves in its way: the lights held steady throughout.
