Lead Investigator Sarah Kowalski is investigating a high-profile corporate espionage case at a pharmaceutical firm involving the leak of confidential vaccine formula details. She must interview the primary suspect, a 17-year-old junior software apprentice who has autism spectrum condition.
Kowalski is under immense pressure from the firm's board of directors and the national press to identify the source of the leak, as the company's stock price is falling. The interview is scheduled in 5 days' time and must be audio-visually recorded. Currently, there is no direct digital-forensic footprint linking the apprentice's credentials to the leak.
