You are an agent of the Bureau of Extrasensory Intelligence. Your job is to investigate sightings, interrogate witnesses, and decide whether you are looking at a hoax, a natural phenomenon, or something other.
Every contradiction you miss is a failure for the Bureau. Every lie you uncover is a step closer to the Truth. Every verdict you issue is written into your agent file. The Bureau remembers.
Receive the report. Read every word the witness wrote. Note the omissions.
Run the evidence scanner across the scene. Documents, artifacts, footprints in dust.
Watch the polygraph as the witness talks. Stress spikes. Triangulate. Press.
Stamp the file: HOAX, NATURAL PHENOMENON, or OTHER. The Bureau files it. Forever.
"The Bureau was founded in XXXXXXX on the assumption that the people who saw the most were the people who could be trusted the least. Witnesses lie. Witnesses misremember. Witnesses are paid. The job of the agent is not to believe. The job of the agent is to XXXX XXX XXXXXXXXXXXX until the file holds together or the file breaks. Either outcome is information."
