To the keeper Orrin Vell, Ward Eight, by written record and by air, this being a formal response to the release request submitted eleven days ago under no applicable procedure:

The Draw Office has reviewed its holdings. We have reviewed the holdings of the holdings. We have written to the Archive at Low Field, to Children's Hour, and — at some cost to our standing as an institution that does not hold open inquiries — to ourselves, in the form of a question placed in our own correspondence file.

There is no release procedure. There has never been a release procedure. A Draw assignment is held until it closes with the keeper [—] or until the Draw cycle turns and reassigns.

However.

The Draw Office notes — for the record, because everything goes in the record — that it has also received, in the same eleven-day window, one written request from a keeper asking not to be released from their task but to have their task designated as [carrier noise] without Count standing.

We do not have a word for this.

We are told "hollowed" may be the word we do not have.

We are entering this transmission under inquiry-open, a classification we have invented this morning. The record reflects the distinction.

Quiet Hour follows.

Intercept Desk note: The Draw Office has, apparently, begun filing correspondence with itself.
