Official Gendarme Interrogation Record
ACCUSED: Frond Spore-Scribe
INTERROGATOR: Magistrate Caines
CHARGE: Counterfeit Masterpiece Seals
ROOM TONE: Mild Disgust / Defensive
Magistrate Caines: For the record, please state your name and your business at the papyrus scroll store.
Frond: The name is Frond. I’m just a humble merchant. I sell perfectly legal, totally legitimate vellum.
[ RESONANCE FRACTURE DETECTED: Elevated Pulse. Statement is FALSE. ]
Magistrate Caines: The Echo-Glass floor disagrees, Frond. The vellum we confiscated was made of sheepskin. Would you like to try again?
Frond: Look, it’s not my fault if the sheep wanted to be masterpieces! I'm in tune! I have a seal to prove it!
[ RESONANCE ALIGNMENT: Suspect genuinely believes this delusion. Statement is TRUE. ]
Magistrate Caines: [Audible, heavy sigh] Your 'seal' is spelled S-E-E-L. And it's written like youngling that is just beginning to learn to read.
