Anya spent the next six hours pulling threads. The crash dump’s raw memory contained fragments of PE (Portable Executable) headers—Windows binary signatures. She traced the corruption back to a memory region that should have held a simple checksum routine for the satellite’s attitude control thrusters. The next handshake was in nine hours
