The receiver left its local connections before it left the yard.
Tamsin and the technical crew checked each quiet route, secured the contacts, and placed the empty frame on its transport supports. Voss kept the ordinary working path clear while the workers moved something dangerous enough to deserve careful handling even in retreat.
Felix stayed out of their way.
At the receiving rail, the technician identified a line that belonged to the local support rather than the departing frame.
It had been brought close for the attempted installation. Packing everything that touched the apparatus would have taken it too.
Tamsin checked the current service drawing and had the line returned to its ordinary protected position before the transport restraints were tightened.
The central keeper marked the separation on his own copy. He could dislike the withdrawal and still need the departure to leave a correct record.
Felix asked whether an extra hand would help at the clear end.
