EVENT RECONSTRUCTION
Chronology by source.
Entry order is UTC. Reliability measures source integrity, not moral truth.
Two followers used incompatible spacing and handoff methods, indicating separate teams.
Open Marek Dusan dossierThe corridor lighting and service-cart noise reproduced features of the earlier ambush. Teresa retained route details but could not sustain broad attribution.
Open Oren Krell dossierTeresa selected a third-party observation route and declined direct re-exposure.
Open Samira Dastan dossierTeresa distinguished the first follower from later bystanders and requested the verified details in writing.

GAME MECHANIC
HUMAN STAKES
A case conclusion changes people, not only records.
Two surveillance teams, one trauma-linked route, and a burned courier whose factual threat and generalized alarm must be separated. The case changes people’s safety, credibility, relationships, work, care, and future choices; it is not only an evidence puzzle.
Dignity risk
Treating diagnosis or distress as proof of deception Treating access as proof of action
False-inference risk
Treating diagnosis or distress as proof of deception Treating access as proof of action Treating a confident institutional record as neutral fact Treating one mistaken claim as global unreliability Treating cooperation as loyalty or refusal as guilt
Immediate harm
Being turned into bait by people who call exposure protection
Long-term cost
Keeps a small prayer card inside a route notebook. Wants to train recovery teams that remain after evacuation rather than disappearing with the cameras. Wants to organize a neighborhood language exchange where nobody’s travel history is treated as a security file. Listens to weather radio while cooking. Leaves one evening each week unscheduled to protect a life not organized by crisis. Cooks rice and beans in quantities suited to a team even when alone.
Decision threshold
Act only at the consequence threshold supported by corroborated evidence; uncertainty is not permission to abandon the person or convert suspicion into a verdict.
Humane player options
- Separate observation from interpretation before escalating.
- Preserve the person’s ability to contest and correct the record.
- Use the least harmful reversible action consistent with immediate safety.
- Document uncertainty, counterevidence, and institutional incentives.
Debrief unresolved human questions
- Who was harmed by the investigation process itself?
- What information, choice, work, housing, care, or relationship must be restored?
- Which conclusion should remain provisional?
- Who can contest or correct the record?

Each lens separates observations, claims, source quality, alternative explanations, and consequence thresholds. The exercises are fictional, untimed, and do not collect answers.
