Which keeper are you?
You are Aisha, the engineer
You are exact, polite and impossible to move once you have the evidence. You trust what you see in the dust and the heat over what a report says, and you write everything down.
In Aisha’s words
“With respect, your lab data is wrong.”
Songs of Dust and Water, chapter 3, p. 25
Aisha is an engineer sent to Madina by a minister to be his eyes. She first appears in chapter 2.
