Silenced at the Song School
≈ 6 min
Between the close of the Advent Choral Evensong rehearsal at 21:00 on Wednesday 16 December 2026 and the arrival of the archive custodian at 08:30 on Thursday 17 December, a quantity of master tape reels went missing from the Song School Archive Room at Verity Cathedral Close. The archive holds irreplaceable recordings made between 1961 and 1989 by the Verity Cathedral Choir. Your task is to profile the offender's behaviour — not to identify them by name.
