🛑 YOU ARE NOT THE MURDERER.

But your name is on the door.

Additional Backstory:

You gained access to an old Veritas file labeled “Overseer::RedSeal.” Inside was a hand-drawn map — not of tunnels, but of bloodlines. Five founding families. Only one still has access.

The Vales.

There’s also a voice memo from Red:

“If the name Vale shows up on that wall again, it means the seal is weakening. It means someone let it in.”

You don’t know what it is.
But when you ran your last drone scan of the vault, the medallion started to pulse.

You haven’t touched it since.

New Motivation:

Protect your name. Or burn it clean.
If the seal opens again, decide what side you’re on — before the mine decides for you.

Clue You Possess:

• The Overseer Access File Link — incomplete, with your name redacted but visible under UV

• A sealed envelope from Red with no return address

• A drawing of the mine’s founding families — your family name circled, others scratched out

• An internal note:

  “If the Vales return, bury the symbol. Do not let them near the altar.”

You are a Vale.
And you’re already closer than the altar than anyone realizes.
