THE KEY ======= The metal key is not a copied key. Its teeth seem to rearrange when you look away. The stamped words remain stable: SIGNAL ACTIVE RETURN ONLY When you hold it near the receiver, Channel 33 appears without being selected. When you hold it near the hatch, a green line travels around the lock. The key is identifying the Garage to something beneath it. It is less a key than a maintenance credential made physical.
