The sighting Avril cites: "seen by Mary Esther"

texture · 11 Nov YDAU, before Study Period; reported ~2100h

• When: 11 Nov YDAU, the sighting before Study Period; relayed by Avril to Mario around 2100h.
• What: Hunting for Hal on the night of brewing crises, Avril tells Mario: "The Pemulis person was seen by Mary Esther taking their truck before Study Period. Is Hal with him, Mario?" Thode appears purely as the campus's surveillance node — the staff eye whose sightings reach the Dean of Academic Affairs within hours — and inside Avril's administrative register she is just "Mary Esther," no surname. What Pemulis was doing with the truck is outside this page; the sighting is carried as sighting only.
