Verdant 005 009

I reached Level 3 within approximately ninety seconds of leaving the desk. The level was empty. No vehicles matching what I'd seen. No people. Nothing.

I understand how this looks. I know what I saw on that screen.

Technical Investigation Findings

Forensic review of the Level 3 camera system confirmed that live signal had been substituted with previously recorded footage on multiple occasions across the reporting period.

System maintenance records show the Level 3 monitoring infrastructure was installed during a Verdant Solutions trial. The substituted clips did not originate from a single source recording. Timestamp analysis places the individual clips across a range of dates spanning several months prior to their display.

Correlation of clip insertion times against the guard's own logged activity shows a consistent pattern: substituted footage was introduced at points immediately following the guard's physical presence on Level 3, or immediately preceding a scheduled monitor check. The frequency and specificity of inserted content increased in proportion to the guard's own increasing attentiveness to the feed.

The purpose of the substitutions, and the basis on which individual clips were selected for display, have not been established.
