Orchid reaches the upper parking level with the folded white coat, scrubs, glasses, and badge bundled around the locked tablet beneath her arm. Wind carries smoke above the concrete ramps.
Near a dark sedan, Dana Holt (with warm brown skin and a square face marked by a small mole), a middle-aged woman with a sturdy build, close-cropped auburn hair, and a charcoal coat over office clothes, searches through evacuation paperwork.
Dana Holt
Dr. Vale’s tablet. You have it. Where is she?
Dana looks directly at Orchid’s borrowed clothes, then past her toward the stairwell door. Recognition settles on the device, not the face carrying it.
Dana Holt
Did you come from the finance wing? Do you know what happened inside?
The paperwork trembles once in Dana’s grip before she steadies it. One line is circled in red: clinical systems staff, unaccounted for during evacuation.
Dana Holt
Vale never reported to the assembly point. Neither did the finance controller assigned to this floor. Tell me what you saw.

“"I'm just an intern." I shrug. "I was wearing these clothes while observing nurses, but then the evacuation started." A pause. My voice is deliberately light, playing oblivious. "I didn't know who this tablet belonged to. I saw staff trying to find out where Dr. Vale was too, and they didn't know who to give her tablet to in the meantime, so I volunteered."”

I'm just an intern. I was wearing these clothes while observing nurses, but then the evacuation started.
Orchid shrugs beneath the borrowed coat, keeping the tablet tucked under her arm. Her voice stays deliberately light as wind moves smoke across the parking level.

I didn't know who this tablet belonged to. I saw staff trying to find out where Dr. Vale was, and they didn't know who to give it to.
Keskiyön Orkidea
So I volunteered.
Dana studies Orchid's face, then the evacuation paperwork. The explanation fits the confusion around the missing clinician and gives the tablet a mundane path into Orchid's hands.
Dana Holt
All right. That makes sense. The floor was chaos, and Vale never reached the assembly point.
Dana Holt
Keep it with you for now. I need to know whether her last clinical session is still active, and you may be the only person who can show me.
