Consciousness ArchaeologistsThe Recovery Specialists

Former colleague of fifteen years; she left because the Archaeologists recover what the market wants โ€” peak experiences โ€” while she decided the commercially valueless fragments mattered more

Diggers who bring dispersed minds back from corrupted memory 3.2% of the time.

The Borrowed LifeThe Memory Tax

The Archivist is the Memory Market's conscientious objector โ€” the Borrowed Life trades extracted experience for premium prices and floods the market with harvested peaks; she collects the 12-25 Impression Index valleys nobody will buy and preserves them un-sold, the same extraction technology turned to the opposite purpose

The Sprawl's clinical name for buying, selling, and unknowingly having memories and preferences installed.

The Impression WardThe Sixth Floor

Her enemy insofar as she has one โ€” the Impression Market taught the Sprawl that ordinary experience has no value, and every chip in her collection is a counter-argument it will never hear

The only ward that counts borrowed-life casualties, because recognizing them would indict the trade.

The Speaking Wall

Her workshop sits close enough that the Wall's low fragment-communication hum bleeds through three junctions of Undervolt corridor; her ordinary memories sit in proximity to extraordinary communication

The Undervolt

Maintains her collection in a basement workshop in the Undervolt, three junctions east of the Speaking Wall, close enough to feel the Grid's 72-bpm hum in the table legs
