At eighteen per cent, in the fifth autumn, Veira has the first bad episode since Aberdeen.
It happens at Braehead, which she is by then permitted to enter, and it happens in a corridor, and what puts her on the floor is not overload but the opposite: a sudden drop, fast, as three of the older students working in the same room inadvertently pull more than the channel can pass at once.
She is unconscious for eleven seconds and confused for four minutes and by the time Croft reaches her from the office she is sitting up against a radiator being furious.
