At the very least the Briarstone radio file makes sense, it was a considerable abnormality to the station’s scheduled broadcast. No idea what caused it, but still considerable enough to be looked into by the bureau. With the other, older files from the 70s however I have no idea why archiving them in such a strange manner matters, the redacted TTS file especially. Redacting information is a normal and necessary process of the agency for a myriad of reasons, but it is strictly against protocol to erase data of any kind, and it has become clear to me that part of the recording is missing. Furthermore, what irks me about such a high threat class case is that this is coded information among faculty that would have admin access to all redacted information already.The only conclusion I can make is that someone higher up in the bureau is using these files as a mule for classified information of some sort. I am not about to forfeit my place at the agency over a case, but conspiracy of any manner does not bode well for our integrity. I’m still working to find the missing audio, and in the process I’m trying to build a record of such inconsistencies to present to my supervisor. Secrets will only serve to divide us. For now I’m keeping this on my personal computer to avoid uncomfortable conversations with my coworkers.Retrieved File Data: Last edited 12/29/03I found it. I had a hunch the data for the removed sections were somewhere on the file. Lo and behold whoever last worked with the file trimmed the audio so that they could restore it later like I am now. I’ll listen to it in a few hours once I’ve had the chance to get through today’s case work.Untitled: Last edited 12/29/03What the fuck. That virus, or, I don’t know what to call it, reformatted all of the documents in the Briarstone file. Every one I looked through had their contents either entirely scrambled or filled with new text that wasn’t there before. I don’t understand the motive or make to any of this, it’s not just a sick prank or a conspiracy anymore, something is alive in these files and I want no part of it. I only have a few files left to archive and then I am done with this case for good.
