👉 Previous Decision: You chose the path to audit historical physical building records, leading to the discovery of the Blackwood Mill connection and the pneumatic tube.

The old brass pneumatic tube felt like a key in my hand, but I knew I couldn’t act alone. Days later, outside the facility, a car pulled up next to mine. A woman stepped out, her movements brisk and direct.

“Mark Gable?” she asked, her voice low. “Sarah Lin. Boston Globe.”

I straightened, my heart giving a hard thump. Sarah Lin. I knew her name. She had spent three years tracking fraudulent 19th-century land titles in Essex County. The same deeds I was now investigating.

“I’ve been watching Aetheris Dynamics,” she said, cutting straight to it. Her eyes, sharp and intelligent, met mine. “And, more recently, you.”

She revealed that Aetheris Dynamics had been secretly buying up historical colonial deeds. Each transfer was signed by Evelyn Marsh, a prominent local notary public. Corrupt notary transfers, Sarah stressed, with no official paper trail for the original landowners.

“Pendelton’s legal team is already watching my home,” she warned, her gaze steady. “They’re very good at making problems disappear. But I have the historical property evidence. You have the internal access.”

She took a step closer. “Combine our findings, Mr. Gable, and we might just expose this.”

I had the access badge, the blueprints, and now, the pneumatic tube. She had the historical context and the public platform. But her warning about Pendelton’s reach was a cold splash of reality. He wasn’t just watching me; he was watching her, too. The decision pressed down on me, heavy and urgent.
