One Bead Before Lapse

Job: carry a physical debt-clan claim key with one newly cut witness bead from Khesret to Railpin Dormant Relay in Railpin Gate. Route: Khesret → Hardfell Core → Pin Reach → Railpin Gate. Deadline: before lapse bell closes the dormant relay's current claim cycle. This is courier work — one small hand-carried packet, one named recipient, one hard clock. No passengers. No freight lot pretending to be important because somebody printed COURIER on the manifest.

Briefing: Hedda Relay-Bead books an independent fast hull because ordinary queues are already compromised by delay. The key simply renews an old belt claim nobody else wants. Keep the seal intact, hold personal custody at every transfer, and hand it directly to Orik Lapse-Hammer. The destination profile is locked: HIP 65143, Hardfell Industrial League, C300000-C, barren, registered. Transit does not change who owns the destination.

Terms: ₡15,000 gross, 10% board cut, Rank 1, MODERATE threat. Payment requires a local receipt from Orik Lapse-Hammer. The clan keeps its right and pays clean. The rival may challenge later, but it cannot pretend the relay was abandoned.
