Torek Lintar (dock inspector, compromised by gambling debt) is observed

by Drin (dock worker) and Olin (bystander/new arrival). Drin has noticed
|

Torek's inspection patterns are irregular. Olin overhears workplace gossip
|

and doesn't know what's significant. This triangle generates the kind
|

of low-level workplace suspicion that exists in any tight community —

people notice things, talk about them, and form theories. For the

detective, it's signal mixed with noise.
