Peregrine's phone, Days 1–7

Drafts for review, 4 Oct 2026. Eight new entries (green edge) beside the copy that already exists for those days. Nothing here is live; every new entry is draft.

How to read this. Days run top to bottom. Each day lists what lands on the phone that day. Three new graded rounds (Day 1 draft, Day 2 receipt, Day 3 notice) teach the stations before the night tests them; Jev agreed with all three keys and found no second defensible answer. Messages for Dana and Wren are drafted as separate entries for now. Once the app shows one thread per person and filters each message by its stamp, they merge into the existing threads.

DAY 1

Intake. The credential is issued.

MESSAGES · THE LINK
Checking twice a day is why they can reach me: so joins the two. Then leaves a comma splice.

The Day 1 lock line comes from the Phone doc §2 ('Credential issued. You'll get an assignment when—'). The Day 3 line points to the Desk, where the assignment itself arrives; it names no case.

Belongs in the existing Dana thread (phone-messages-dana) once the app shows one thread per person; kept separate so nothing in the shipped thread changes before Sarah's review. Sets up the DAY 8 dinner invite.

Daytime rates only (no late-night surcharge), so the first receipt round is one multiplication. The lines sum to the Total as charged; the error is in a line.

Wren reports on Peregrine under leverage (cast). Her first two texts ask when Peregrine comes in, which reads as friendly and is the reporting. Wren never mentions the Desk (contact card). Belongs in phone-wren-thread once the app filters messages by stamp.

Noise first (Phone doc §3.1: 'the group chat she muted'). Peregrine never answers it. The radiator is the one in Sarah's camera-roll cat photos.

Your namesake made the science page. Who’s right?

---------- Forwarded message ----------

From: R. Hollis · To: Imani Okafor

Imani, I’d put it another way. To a falcon, a window ledge forty floors up simply is a cliff ledge: high, sheer, open sky above and pigeons passing below. The birds are doing what peregrines have always done. What changed was us. Once DDT was banned, the population recovered and needed places to nest, and our cities turned out to be full of them.

Imani Okafor wrote:

Peregrine falcons now nest on skyscrapers, bridges and smokestacks in dozens of North American cities. I’d call it one of the clearest recent cases of rapid behavioral adaptation. Within a few decades, a bird once tied to remote cliffs has learned to treat the built city as a new kind of habitat, and to thrive in it.

If Hollis answered her in one line, which would he send?
  1. “Agreed, and the DDT ban only sped that adaptation along.”
  2. “The behavior isn’t new. The city just offers the old setting.”
  3. “I doubt they nest in as many cities as you say.”
  4. “Cliffs have become worse places to nest than buildings.”
Key: “The behavior isn’t new. The city just offers the old setting.”
MAIL · TWO TEXTS
He grants where they nest and denies that the birds changed.

Notes · 'Peregrines, for Hollis' (graded)

goalOne sentence for Hollis: show that people did more than stop using DDT.

Peregrine falcons were listed as endangered in the US in 1970.

DDT made their eggshells thin enough to crack during incubation.

The US banned DDT in 1972.

Starting in the 1970s, biologists released captive-bred falcons from city buildings and bridges.

In 1999 the peregrine was removed from the endangered species list.

Which sentence do I send him?
  1. The US banned DDT in 1972, two years after peregrines were listed as endangered.
  2. Peregrines were listed as endangered in 1970 and removed from the list in 1999.
  3. Beyond banning DDT, people bred falcons in captivity and released them from city buildings, and by 1999 the species was off the endangered list.
  4. DDT made peregrine eggshells so thin that they cracked during incubation.
Key: Beyond banning DDT, people bred falcons in captivity and released them from city buildings, and by 1999 the species was off the endangered list.
NOTES · THE GOAL
Only C shows people doing more than stopping DDT: they bred and released falcons.

Before these can play. The phone's day must follow the season (Day 1 at intake, Day 3 at the assignment, the night when case 01 closes), and the app must filter each message, call and search by its own stamp. Today it shows or hides whole entries, so the existing Recents and Voicemail lists, which carry DAY 8 rows, would leak the night into Day 5.
