The first source records the event without a settled explanation. The anomaly is preserved as a question rather than converted immediately into guilt or pathology.

Chronology by source.
Entry order is UTC. Reliability measures source integrity, not moral truth.
A directly involved character describes what they observed, what they inferred, and what they remain uncertain about.

GAME MECHANIC
HUMAN STAKES
A case conclusion changes people, not only records.
Valid signatures attach to the wrong revision lineage and alter operational chronology. 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
Becoming certain too early and creating the traitor she was supposed to find
Long-term cost
Repairs fountain pens when reports are delayed. Reads local history to remember that most consequences never enter classified archives. Wants to build an independent records clinic where people can contest identity errors without institutional permission. Wants a small acoustics workshop where nobody can classify a human emergency as irrelevant telemetry. Wants to finish a quiet book about municipal corruption that contains no secret programs and endangers nobody.
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?
