Bulletin 009 · Year 903 of the Dominion

Faithful Return Leaves Havenmere


The liner Faithful Return left Havenmere this morning, on time. It carried the last of the wardens, and the last residents who registered for a ship. No ship will call at Havenmere again before the Slow Choir arrives.

One resident came to the departure field as the liner was boarding. She did not board. Wardens say she stood at the gate for some time, as if trying to remember something, then walked back towards the districts.

The wardens’ final report was a single line: residents remain. It gave no number.

On Highfold, evacuees from Havenmere have been heard humming in their sleep. Registrars note that many keep their photographs at their bedsides.

The Dispatch will have no further reports from Havenmere until the Slow Choir has passed.

The Even Keel has not arrived. The League has kept her berth open.

Havenmere has two days.

The course is charted. Mind the dark between.
