The first sign that the Academy's records were not behaving normally was a date that changed while Raze watched it. He sat in the public archive with Ivo and Adrian, comparing the third historical incident against a newly authorized index. The entry listed the same exercise identifier, the same instructor, and the same number of participants. Only the date was different.
"Yesterday it said the nineteenth," Ivo said.
"Are you certain?" Adrian asked.
"I copied it."
Raze opened the notebook. There it was, written in Ivo's precise hand. Nineteenth of Harvestwane. The index now displayed the twenty-first.
"Could the archive have corrected an error?" Raze asked.
"Certainly," Adrian said. "That's the first explanation."
"Then we need the revision history."
Anwen emerged from the shelves carrying a ledger. "You are becoming very predictable."
"Is there a revision history?" Raze asked.
