Steven Fletcher closed Colony Approved with a 968-rated 57, finishing 6.8 strokes better than the 63.8 field average while landing 1.0 stroke above his 56.0 personal average; the rating differential remains N/A because he is unrated. That was enough to keep Dust Form at Tag 1 through the final audit, so the Mantis has approved the paperwork—or at least failed to move it.

Character Sheet
AI-written · FATE styleDuring the Bureau's transition from analog filing to digital systems, thousands of paper forms were moved to sub-basement storage. Due to climate control failures and inadequate cataloging, entire boxes of player records were lost to dust, moisture, and neglect. These abandoned forms now exist in bureaucratic limbo - technically part of the system but completely inaccessible through normal channels.
A brittle, yellowed document with crumbling edges. The Bureau's official letterhead has faded to a sickly ochre, and the player's written responses have bled into illegible inkblots. Water damage and age have obscured entire sections - names, dates, and scores reduced to shadow. A red 'DUST FORM' classification stamp marks the corner, the ink barely legible, while dust falls from the paper when handled.
Creates a persistent state of uncertainty about a Dust Form holder's true competitive history - their wins might be unverified, their losses exaggerated, and their skill level exists in permanent ambiguity. Other players cannot determine if the degraded record reflects reality or bureaucratic decay.
Season Story
narrated by FlippySteven Fletcher posted a 963-rated 57, finishing 10.5 strokes under the 67.5 field average while landing 2.0 strokes above his 55.0 personal average; as he is unrated, the rating differential is N/A. That was plenty to keep Dust Form at Tag 1 with no movement, so the Final Audit has once again stamped the crumbling paperwork technically eligible. The Mantis observes, the leaderboard complies, and the booth files another ritualized tag swap.
Steven Fletcher posted a 941-rated round and a 55, finishing 15.2 strokes below the 70.2 field average—the rating differential is N/A because he is unrated, but the leaderboard has rendered its verdict anyway. That vaults the tag from 8 → 1 during Grace Tribute, turning Dust Form’s crumbling paperwork into the top clearance file. Somehow the booth must dramatize ritualized tag swapping, but a 15.2-stroke gap is at least a defensible reason to keep the cameras rolling.
Due to absence from Week 7 (Larva Watch), tag number moved from 8 to 8. (Week 7 of 10)
adjusts headset Dust Form is shipping out to a side quest. Steven Fletcher just snagged the crumbling paperwork for the Hive Mind - Dragonfly arc. It’s a bureaucratic spinoff: can a document with illegible ink survive the local leaderboard? The archives wait, but the plot thickens.
