Three guards fell asleep standing. Two researchers began weeping and reciting Psalm 23. One D-class personnel, scheduled for termination, instead walked to the pen, removed his restraints, and began grooming the creature’s wool with his own hairbrush.

No one fired. Instead, four of the five team members sat down in a semicircle around the pen. The fifth—a veteran of seventeen extractions—later wrote in his debrief: “I wanted to go home. But I didn’t know what home meant anymore. It felt like she was home.” Three guards fell asleep standing
GSAD-09 does not breach walls. It breaches faith.
