Kade — Memory File

Header of the intake sheet, as recovered: SUBJECT: KADE. The name appears on the header before any examination is recorded. No admitting officer is named. No referring office is named.

The subject was recovered from cold storage in the Vaults beneath the Crown Ring and woken under an incomplete thaw protocol. The temperature log for the waking is present. The pages before it are not.

What follows is an assessment of the subject's memory, and it is the assessment — not the waking — that this file cannot close.

Cold-storage loss, as recorded across ████████ prior cases, is general: names, places and recent years thin together, and procedural competence thins with them. The subject's loss is not general. Procedural competence is intact throughout — ████████, ████████, and the operation of ████████████████████ are retained at working level.

The losses are confined. All personal names prior to the waking. All intervals between ████████ and ████████. Nothing else. The assessing officer's phrase, entered twice, is that the losses “present clean margins.”

“The pattern described above is inconsistent with cold-storage sequelae as recorded by this office. Referral is indicated. Referral to: ████████████████████.”

No referral is recorded as made. No cause for the pattern is stated anywhere in the file. The file was closed eleven days after it was opened, without a finding, by an officer whose name is ████████.
