The Blackthorn Ledger

Scene
Blackthorn Civic Trust

17 October 2026, 22:17

Night guard Theo Bell found auditor Elias Rook dead in the records archive. Carbon-monoxide exposure occurred between 21:46 and 22:04. Exhaust entered through a return-air hatch accessible from the restricted Archive Service Level.

Equipment marks identify a gasoline utility pump. Moving and positioning it required at least ten minutes. Rook had been auditing vendor payments. His pocket ledger reads: 3 invoices / 2 vendor names / 1 payout account / over $90,000.
