Operational Audit

Pursuant to Compliance Code §4.2 — random review
A Cryos Compliance officer requests your operating logs at the dock arm. Their badge does not bear a Frontier Authority sigil. They are not, technically, customs.

The fee is non-negotiable. Refusal classifies your charter as non-compliant, which carries its own consequences.
