The Receiving

Other People's Stars — Ep 05: The Receiving Series One · Runtime 24:35 About Junior diplomat Rosa Okafor once used a flimsy piece of Reach paperwork to do something the entire accord had failed to do: put on permanent record that six Vask dead were people, not salvage. Now a Suul house has filed a recovery claim on the wreck, the memorial filing is scheduled for rescission at sector-shift, and her supervisor is offering her the career-preserving option of quietly erasing it herself. With four hours on the docket clock, Rosa goes hunting through the Administrative Code for a catch — and finds that the answer may run through a small knotted token a grieving trade-clade pressed into her hand three months ago, one she has carried ever since without daring to learn what it means. A story about grief, procedure, and what it costs to turn one into the other.
