Berth Fourteen — 04:10

Elias Thorne was found dead on the frozen docks before dawn. Police are calling it a robbery gone wrong. The board isn't so sure — Thorne spent his last week proving that cargo was being cleared twice and moved once. You've been handed what's left behind: three testimonies, one camera, and a ledger that doesn't add up. Everyone here is lying about something. The question is what, and to whom.

Exhibit — Recovered Voice Memo

Thorne's Last Recording

Pulled from his phone after the body was found. Timestamped hours before Berth Fourteen.

VOICE MEMO — RECOVERED PERSONAL DEVICE — ELIAS THORNE

Whatever he was trying to say, he didn't finish it.

Exhibit — Terminal Surveillance

Berth Fourteen, 23:51

The last clean footage before the camera loses the corner of the yard. Watch it more than once.

18/06 · 23:51:04 TERMINAL CAM 06 — BERTH 14

Does this prove who controlled the wider cargo operation — or only who had physical access to the terminal?

Persons of Interest

Three Statements

Tap a name to open their file and play their statement. Read the tell before you press play.

Polished, evasive, high-strung — panic held together by good tailoring and cleaner reporting.

"There is no missing money. It is timing."— Julian Vance, interview extract

Hardened, defensive, confrontational — embedded in the physical yard and looks guilty within ten seconds.

"I moved what I was told to move. Paper came from upstairs."— Silas Cobb, interview extract

Untouchable, cold, strategic — never once raises her voice, and always sounds like the reasonable one.

"If misconduct existed, ask who received the report first."— Vivienne Sterling, interview extract

One of them killed him. One of them moved the cargo. One of them owns the operation.
They are not necessarily the same person.

"B-4 is not a berth. Follow 402. The 3.555 entries are not freight." — Recovered from Thorne's notebook, half-burned
