Excerpt

The housing had come up from the west field on the back of a hauler with a note tied to it in string, and the note said that it passed the plug and ran hot anyway and that somebody at Ondrave could look at it if somebody at Ondrave had nothing better to do. That was the fourth day, and by the fourth day Aldex had stopped waiting for the rest of the process. There was no rest of the process. Work moved on this port on haulers with string on it.
