🛑 YOU ARE NOT THE MURDERER.

But your fingerprints are all over the cover-up.

Additional Backstory:

You found a subroutine that pings a forbidden access point in Shaft 13 — VAULT_PASSTHRU. You spoofed it once… and the mine responded.
Not with logs.
With audio.

A voice. Red’s. Whispering. Timestamped 4 hours after he died:
“Max… I saw it. I saw it. They sealed it. Don’t let them open—”

The file corrupted itself.
You didn’t delete it.
But it’s gone.

Now, every time you log in, the system flashes one word in the footer:

REMEMBER.

New Motivation:

Stop whoever is scrubbing the data.
Find out who accessed the drone control console the night Red died.
And figure out how Red’s voice is still inside the system.

Clue You Possess:

• A Partial Packet Track Link from the drone logs, showing:

  • Two overlapping user IDs at the same time

  • A “ping loop” that resolves into a vault rune

• A corrupted voice file with Red’s name on it

• A QR code that, when scanned, displays a glitching terminal string:

  ACCESS GRANTED — OVERRIDE KEY DETECTED

You’ve never told anyone what that last one unlocks.
Maybe not even yourself.
