Day 12 — solar wind rising · Kp 3.3
Three mouths, one with food and two with nothing. The Terrace greened; the Deep stayed cold. Corvid watches the ledger like a hawk watching a field. Two days until harvest accounting.
Everything that happened
| production | The Terrace yielded 2 rations. |
| production | The Deep yielded 2 alloy. |
| production | Corvid's The Aerie caught 2 rumors on the solar wind. |
| consumption | Auren ate. |

| parley | Basalt: “Auren. You're holding a single ration. I'm at zero. We both know how this ends if nothing moves.” |
| parley | Auren: “The Terrace gave us two today—I'm planting one back, but yes. Here. Take what you need.” |
| parley | Basalt: “Need isn't generosity. What's the weight of this? When do I get it back?” |
| parley | Corvid: “He won't ask for it back, Basalt. That's his problem and his charm. But I will. Auren owes me five rations' worth by day 14, and the wind's picking up.” |
| parley | Auren: “I know. Harvest is coming. Everything I grow now goes to clearing the ledger.” |
| parley | Basalt: “Words are cheap. Alloy spends. Give me something real, or I sleep hungry again tomorrow.” |
| transfer | Emergency feeding; Basalt at zero rations |
| promise | Auren promised Basalt: Deliver 2 rations by day 14 to repay today's gift and cover debt to Corvid (due day 14) |
