The Permafrost Confession
≈ 4 min
Vault botanist Ingrid Solvær has been found dead inside Tunnel C of the Keldvik Heritage Seed Bank, apparently asphyxiated by a malfunctioning CO₂ purge cycle — a tragic accident, according to the facility's night supervisor, Petter Holm. However, investigators suspect the purge was triggered deliberately, and that evidence inside the vault was tampered with after Ingrid's death to make the sequence appear accidental. Your task is to establish the true chronological order of six documented events in the hours surrounding the incident, using the four forensic clues recovered from the site.
