Records

Some crew signatures vanish cleanly.
Others continue appearing after the ship went silent.

One medic is recorded in six systems.
That trail should not exist.

The manifest is incomplete.
Not corrupted — incomplete.
The difference matters in the archive.

Several command signatures are present without corresponding deaths.
Velorum does not record them as lost.
Velorum records them as unresolved.

One engineer left a maintenance prayer inside the reactor shell.
That is not in the standard disappearance category.
It suggests something more deliberate.

The crew did not all vanish at once.
Some records end cleanly in mid-conversation.
Some simply stop.
