RANK ON COMPLETION: RELIEF CREW WEEK 17

THE CONDUCTOR: "We hold until every hand can do every job. That is not punishment. That is a railroad."
THE TRANSITION LINE // MIDSEASON SPECIAL :: THE HOLD
Midseason. The Conductor has held a train exactly once in his career. This is it. Every skill gets checked against the board before the Line moves again.
PREVIOUSLY Four stops closed, four entries filed, every fraud tidy, every remainder profitable to somebody unseen.
THE CASE The midseason audit. Twenty checks across everything the Line has taught, posted to the whole crew by the Conductor himself. Ten stations on the board, each worked once and verified once: that is the twenty.
Filed by the quartermaster, Pippa George.
Crew name: Class key:
The run will not start without a name. Ten markers, three hint tiers each. Written work handed in class is the gate: no paper, no credit.
