# beam.portal · HOT SWAP · 0.1 s continuity audit (E, 28 Oct)

## How it was checked
- **Scrub:** the whole scene, 0.0 to 10.8 s, at every 0.1 s, at gore 5. Rendered from the LIVE files (`/Volumes/Workspace/Scratch/killpages-e/out/hs/audit/scrub_*.jpg`).
- **Re-checks:** the beat frames (`out/show/hot_swap_blocking_g5.jpg`) and the six-level ladder at the payoffs and the final (`out/hs/ladder_6.jpg`).
- **Hand naming:**
  - **A = Faris.** R = the gun hand on the cannon grip (performer F). L = the support hand: the barrel, or the swap motions (performer B).
  - **Hiba:** FH (front knife), BH (back knife).
  - **Mikku:** GH = the pistol hand (front), KH = the knife hand (back).
  - **Fida:** both hands on the SMG.

## Notes
- **Gore:** no faces, no bones, no organs. Every cut is a STYLE round wet cap, or an engine cut with caps. The default ending ladder is off (ending58: false), so each level is placed by hand.
- **Rings:** none. Impacts are ringless blooms, and the beam's wall ring is off.
- **Sound:** the def's own snd58 table (the beam hum, the pulse bed, a sting on each of the five combination hits, the sub booms, the roomtone and heartbeats under Fida's reach, the ring). Guns, the clacks, the slams and the gore are in the build.
