Orla Han has parked her life-support cocoon beside an open cargo hatch. Painted vines climb its curved housing; a bird no larger than a thumb sits among the flowers near the breathing vent. The vent interrupts the garden with a regular click. Orla waits for it to finish before asking the loader to turn a crate so she can read its inventory.
Inside are models of ruins from unrelated worlds. The broken doorway on one matches the doorway on another, including a shallow notch behind the left jamb. Orla sets the models together and checks the measurements once more. She is a scholar, she explains, and resemblance is easy to claim from photographs. She wants someone to stand beside both doorways and measure what the camera missed.
Her vessel is being provisioned for a journey without an arrival date. Replacement seals take precedence over the extra chair; reference copies fit where the chair would have stood. Asked how long she expects to be away, Orla turns the smallest model toward the light. She has found a workable first stop. The next task is to secure enough air-filter stock to reach it, and she has already cleared a space for the boxes.
Which detail would you check first to test whether these ruins truly match?
