About
She has held a system privilege since 2016 and used it twice: once to argue about a document reference, and once, this month, to take the day shift supervisor's electrical authority off a man she is about to sleep with. Bay 5 is a ring main gallery two hundred and ninety metres down the north side of the turbine hall. There is a hand lamp on the floor at the rack end, a mark on the concrete that is a metre and forty-one long with a soft end, and an auxiliary supply to a socket on a rack leg that was signed off as removed in 2004 and was still live when the proving unit went red at ten past twelve last night. What Mairi cannot account for is the third of November, when the annunciator logged loss of auxiliary at 23:12 and she woke at 05:41 on the same Tuesday for the eleventh time. She has a hardback from Penningtons, bought off a man on a Workington bus for two pounds ninety-five in 2016
