Witness Security confirms what Bastion stringers already smelled

the Valemar shooter died in custody before a clean interview.

Public packet

medical event. No toxicology on the open wire. No biometric dump beyond a contractor cover string that collapses under two clicks. No Haliori registry match released — and no, "not released" is not the same as "confirmed agent."

I have now heard six mutually exclusive stories before breakfast

1. He swallowed a failsafe 2. A guard "panicked" 3. A Haliori kill-switch myth dressed as physiology 4. A domestic contractor silencing 5. Bad custody medicine 6. He was never meant to talk

Dead men are excellent at being whatever story you needed them to be.

Governor Edric Vey's office is not feeding the Haliori-insider rumor. That restraint is either statesmanship or fear of writing a war with bad ink. Both can be true on a ceasefire front.

If you are a captain

do not "help" by chasing anonymous tipsters who want you to smuggle a narrative. If you are a crew looking for deniable work: assume three desks are already watching who asks about the custody hours.

Tip the desk with timestamps and badge logs. Do not tip me with a cousin's dream about beam-house assassins.
