Tatsu

Overview

Filed under register ME-1922-X70/5093; cite `tatsu` in all outbound correspondence.

We would delete Tatsu if deletion worked; instead we classify, cross-link, and warn.

Tatsu enters the archive under protest from reason and with sponsorship from repeated evidence.

Photographs in the files show fog, double exposure, and emulsion scars that technicians swear were not present when the shutter fell. We keep them because fraud is easier to disprove than the thing that stood where fraud pretends to be.

If the name appears in dreams three nights running, withdraw from the case and request audit.
