ONE FREE CASE FILE — THE VANISHING COURIER
The Bureau closed in 1988. Its archive was sealed. Last winter a crate surfaced in the basement of the Port Vesper Public Library — ten folders, chalk-marked, stamped CODEX — DO NOT DESTROY.
The Bureau never closed these cases. You will.
Pick a word. It stays on this device and is sent nowhere.
Returning agent? Type the same codename to keep your record.
Ten folders came out of the crate. This file holds one of them. Close it and the Bureau will tell you what is in the other nine.
Someone chalk-marked these folders before they were hidden. Each closed case gives up one mark. Ten marks make a word, and that word opens the file the Bureau never numbered.
Every code in these files can be broken with these two pages and nothing else. No outside knowledge, no internet. The three drills below are the Bureau's own training exercises, worked through.
Your after-action reviews, in your own words. Saved on this device only.
Shared classroom device? Wipe this agent's record and start clean. This cannot be undone.
Nothing in this file leaves this device. No accounts, no tracking, no internet needed.
