This document summarizes findings related to the employment permit, clearance scope, and residential status of the deceased laborer Kerrin Doss, with particular attention to discrepancies uncovered during post-incident administrative review.
This addendum was compiled following the discovery of duplicate registry entries associated with the subject.
Registered Name: Kerrin Doss
Permit Type: Tier-L3 Contract Maintenance Runner
Issuing Authority: Spire Transit Authority – Auxiliary Labor Division
Assignment Zone: Aether Lift Towers – West Tower
Authorized Access: Levels 1–3 only
Permit Duration: Rolling 90-day renewal
Restrictions:
No unsupervised vertical transit
No upper-assembly proximity
No override interaction
All official records classify Doss as a non-specialized, low-clearance laborer, suitable only for ground-level and mid-platform tasks.
No disciplinary flags or clearance violations are recorded under this name.
During residency verification, a second labor permit was identified.
Registered Name: Kerris Doln
Permit Type: Temporary Vertical Support Auxiliary
Issuing Authority: Spire Facilities Subdivision (Internal)
Assignment Scope: “Ad hoc support as required”
Authorized Access: Not explicitly listed
Permit Duration: Open-ended / Non-renewing
Supervision Field: Blank
This permit does not appear in standard City Watch labor queries and required cross-registry reconciliation to locate.
No photograph is attached.
Biometric confirmation fields are marked “verified by supervisor.”
Under the name Kerrin Doss, the subject is listed as residing in:
Address: Boiler Rows – Iron Worker Tenements
Room Assignment: Shared / Rotational
Status: Active
Last Physical Verification: 11 months prior
Neighbors confirm Doss “stayed elsewhere more often than not” but did not question this, citing common overtime practices.
Under the name Kerris Doln, the subject was assigned lodging at:
Facility: Lower Spire Barracks – Laborers’ Quarters
Dormitory Section: Sublevel C
Room: Unnumbered (Hot-Bunk Assignment)
Contractual Status: Silence-Bound
Entry Method: Supervisor Escort
Exit Logging: Not Required
The Lower Spire Barracks require no public registry entry for temporary laborers assigned under internal permits.
The subject’s presence there was lawful, unremarkable, and undocumented beyond payroll abstraction.
Cross-comparison confirms:
Identical physical description
Matching injury scars documented in separate files
Payroll disbursements routed to same holding account
Overlapping shift times never flagged as conflict
No record links Kerrin Doss and Kerris Doln within a single document.
Each identity is internally consistent.
Their coexistence is not.
Under this arrangement:
The subject could be lawfully present in restricted vertical zones
While officially unauthorized to be there
And residing closer to those zones than his registered address implies
This structure allows a laborer to occupy spaces that are:
Physically real
Administratively invisible
Investigatively unreachable
The existence of the secondary permit and dormitory assignment provides a procedural pathway by which the deceased could access lethal elevation without triggering a breach, and without requiring retroactive authorization.
This does not explain why he was present at height.
It explains how the system allows someone to be there without admitting it.
“Dual registry presence reflects internal labor optimization practices and does not, in itself, indicate wrongdoing or access violation.”
— Spire Facilities Compliance Note
(Unsigned)
He did not sneak upward.
He was assigned upward under a name that does not die.
The city did not lose track of him.
It split him into functions.
One fell.
The other remains active in records.
Discrepancy Logged: Yes
Escalation Approved: No
Registry Merge Authorized: Denied
Further Inquiry: Not Recommended
Filed as required.
