Human-readable brief
Direction and mandate
- Authority
- Port Meridian Civic Continuity Office
- Customer
- Metropolitan continuity council
- Mandate
- Collect and assess information within the declared fictional jurisdiction and report uncertainty without forcing a preferred conclusion.
- Jurisdiction
- Port Meridian civil port systems
- Intelligence requirement
- Determine whether repeated privileged export events reflect insider disclosure, automation failure, or fabricated traffic intended to trigger a purge.
- Evidence threshold
- Deliver an assessment only after two independent evidence classes corroborate the leading explanation.
- Extraction plan
- Extract through the public maintenance corridor or abort to remote debrief if cover integrity falls below 35.
- Debrief deliverable
- An assessment that separates observation, source report, interpretation, hypothesis, confidence, dissent, source impact, cover impact, and follow-on requirements.
Known facts
- A triggering anomaly or request has been logged.
- The authority has access to some but not all relevant records.
- At least two explanations remain plausible.
Assumptions
- Current system clocks are synchronized within the published tolerance.
- Declared access records have not yet been proven complete.
Competing hypotheses
- Administrative or technical failure
- Authorized but poorly documented activity
- Deliberate disclosure or manipulation
- Fabricated evidence intended to redirect attention

Collection and interaction
What the players do
Collection plan
- Access-control review
- Witness interview
- Technical log collection
- Open-source schedule comparison
Player interactions
- Review tasking
- Establish access
- Collect evidence
- Mark contradiction
- Request corroboration
- Choose continue, convert, or abort
- Complete extraction and debrief
Compromise and abort
- Unexpected access challenge
- Unexplained route change
- Source behavior inconsistent with prior handling
- Evidence item lacking provenance
- Role handoff not acknowledged
- Abort: Cover integrity below 35
- Abort: Source safety cannot be maintained
- Abort: Jurisdiction is exceeded
- Abort: Required evidence custody cannot be preserved
