INTERVIEWER: Dr. Ward, in your own words, what happened at Marrow?
WARD: We predicted a fault before it happened. Not vaguely. To a coupling, to a window of minutes.
INTERVIEWER: Dr. Achterberg, do you agree with that characterization?
ACHTERBERG: I agree with the timestamps. I do not agree with the word "predicted." Predicted implies we understand the mechanism. We do not.

INTERVIEWER: Is there any chance the reading was influenced by prior knowledge of the substation's condition?
ACHTERBERG: I checked. Marrow had no maintenance flags. No history of that specific coupling failing. If someone tampered with the equipment to manufacture this result, I have found no evidence of it — and I looked for that evidence specifically, because I wanted to find it.
WARD: [REDACTED]
INTERVIEWER: Doctor, can you repeat that for the record?
WARD: I said it stopped being a surprise before we even opened the case file. I don't have a better way to explain that yet.
