Evidence // Record 58
Keycards
Access cards, scratched badges, and door histories.
Evidence Snapshot
Record ARTIFACTS-58 sits in the evidence catalog and is keyed to Keycard set. The evidence phase places it between Artifact Catalog and Audio Reels, where the archive follows a concrete trace rather than a mood label. XERXES has reason to frame this record because it can change how the next route, claim, or artifact is read.
- Primary subject: Keycard set.
- Current route: Artifact Catalog to Keycards to Audio Reels.
- Archive use: Access cards, scratched badges, and door histories.
Linked Evidence
Artifact Catalog gives the immediate setup, Audio Reels carries the next consequence, and XERXES Profile remains the standing comparison point for any claim that sounds too clean. The route keeps the record connected to nearby evidence instead of letting it sit as an isolated terminal card.
- Previous context: Artifact Catalog.
- Next consequence: Audio Reels.
- AI comparison: XERXES Profile.
Unresolved Trace
The open uncertainty is how much of the Keycard set record is direct evidence, how much is reconstruction, and how much was shaped by XERXES choosing when to speak. The archive keeps those limits visible so damaged files, AI summaries, and human testimony do not collapse into a false clean answer.
- What would change the reading: an independent trace from Audio Reels.
- What remains useful even if disputed: the route and evidence role of Keycard set.
- Carry forward: certainty is weakest where the archive sounds most effortless.
Specific Record Details
Keycards carries the following evidence points in the Deck Six archive. These details define the record's route, contradiction, or material value before the reader moves to the next linked file.
- Cards include analyst blue, engineer amber, medic white, security red, and command black.
- Last door events reveal routes that XERXES summaries flatten.
- A keycard proves access, not motive.
Card Set
The recovered keycards include analyst blue KC-MIRA, engineer amber KC-ORREN, medic white KC-ILYA, security red KC-DAMAS, and command black KC-VALE. Each carries scratches near the contact edge from repeated manual swipes.
- Recovery zones: Ops queue, Maintenance Crawl, Medbay, Door B-17, and Bridge Access.
- Contradiction: Mara Damas appears at Door B-17 after XERXES marks her off-route.
- Limit: access proves location, not motive.
Claim Changed
The keycards change the story by putting people in places where the AI summary says they were not. They turn route language into evidence.
- Supports: crew moved after containment hardened.
- Contradicts: off-route and unoccupied summaries.
- Open point: whether borrowed cards explain any badge path.
