  > Look around
  You are in a comfortably small room, used to debrief StreamDivers following their missions. The room is intentionally designed to avoid the impression that this is some kind of interrogation chamber, even if that is indeed its function. The room contains very little in the way of decoration or, well, anything at all, aside from the table and chairs.
  
  On the wooden chair is Joxley Douzen.
  Joxley looks up from her notes. "Or you can stand, if you prefer," she says.
  
  "First things first. Based on your scans and our records, you surveyed about seventy-six percent of the area within your mission boundaries. I'm sure you could have done better. Now, are there any rooms in particular that you feel merit special attention?"
  
  > Pantry
  "Hm... I'll advise the assessment team to take another look, but I think we've already considered that room thoroughly."
  
  > Boy 's bedroom
  "Yes. Your console recorded some unusual readings from that area. We'll give it another look."
  
  > Bunker
  Joxley raises an eyebrow, apparently not understanding you. "If you don't have anything meaningful to say on the current subject, just say the word and we'll move on."
  
  > Shelter
  "There's enough in your records to support the possibility that there was a survival shelter in the residence. Unfortunately, you don't appear to have gained access to it."
  
  > Done
  "Very well," Joxley says. She begins examining her notes.
  
  > examine Joxley
  Joxley Douzen is a typical example of what your father would have called a "hard-looking broad". Muscular, stocky, with chiseled features that would have been distinguished on a man. She probably knows exactly how threatening people find her. You know that she's a touch bitter about her position as a Dive evaluation agent -- after she was injured in a shuttle accident, she received enough bio-mechanical implants to make her a walking, talking anachronism, and therefore unfit for StreamDiving. Nevertheless, your experience of her has always been as a fair evaluator.
  
  > sit on the chair
  You get onto the wooden chair.
  "Okay. Now, let's consider the contents of your DataStore. It seems that you recorded seventeen documents. It's a shame you didn't elect to take the Stream Visualizer. Of course, you were under tight restrictions. As for other documents, you collected a reasonable number.
  
  "Now, you found a diary in the downstairs bathroom. It appears to have been encoded using a very secure cipher. Given the nature of the writer and its content, the only explanation we can think of is that the writer was mentally unstable. How would you explain the fact that such effort was taken to encode the diary?"
  
  > Mother
  You explain that the author, Julia Wallace, had reason to believe that her parents were reading her diary without permission, and had encoded it to prevent the highly personal content from becoming public knowledge.
  Joxley raises an eyebrow. "It seems like a great deal of effort, but yes, that does explain what we've seen, and seems consistent with the details we've managed to piece together about the girl.
  
  "We've had some difficulty making sense of the code fragment you downloaded. Any idea what it is?"
  
  > No
  That was a rhetorical question.
  
  > answer no
  (to Joxley Douzen)
  You know better than to deviate from the standard procedure during an interview.
  
  > Experiment
  Joxley raises an eyebrow, apparently not understanding you. "If you don't have anything meaningful to say on the current subject, just say the word and we'll move on."
  
  > Done
  "I'm sorry to hear that.
  
  "I think that covers all the documents we need more information about. Let me check my notes, and we'll move on."
  
  > wait
  Time passes.
  Joxley makes a few notes, then looks up. "All right then. Now we get to some more specific questions.
  
  "I suppose we should start with the most obvious. Your Dive was restricted to a family residence. How many people occupied this residence prior to its evacuation?"
  
  > 5
  Joxley raises an eyebrow. "Five? You're sure? Our research suggested only four residents. Who was this fifth person?"
  
  > Donna
  You explain that a young woman named Donna, a friend of the older child, had been living with the family near the time that the house was abandoned.
  
  Joxley makes a note of this. "Good work. This is exactly the sort of thing that isn't covered by our records of the period.
  
  "What was the name of the female head of household?"
  
  > Katia
  "What was the name of the male head of household?"
  
  > James
  "What was the name of the male child?"
  
  > Jim
  "Marital relations between the Wallaces... Were they good or bad?"
  
  > Unknown
  Joxley lays a hand to her ear. "I'm sorry; I'm having some trouble with my audio processor. Maybe you could try a different word?"
  
  > Good
  "What was the name of the female child?"
  
  > Julia
  "You say that the girl had an optical prosthesis. Which eye was artificial?"
  
  > Right
  "Okay," Joxley says.
  
  "Now," Joxley says, "It appears that you violated your mission parameters by bringing something back from your Dive. Since everything in the area appears to have been destroyed immediately after you left, the committee has decided to recommend against disciplinary action, but there will be an entry made in your file, unless you can give us some exceptional circumstance which warranted your action. Is there any object which you felt had some extraordinary reason for being retrieved for examination?
  
  > Done
  "Then we'll move on," Joxley says.
  
  "We have no postwar records of the daughter, and your findings suggest that she was not with the family when they evacuated. What became of her?"
  
  > Shelter
  You explain that she and her friend were trapped in the survival shelter, and perished with its destruction.
  
  "Thank you for your cooperation, agent," she says. After taking a few more notes, Joxley Douzen rises to her feet. "If you'll wait here, the review team will have your final evaluation shortly."
  
  Without paying you another glance, she strides out of the room.
