I noted their positions.

Emily and Sarah sitting together.

Robert slightly removed, Thomas and Scott flanking the entrance.

David leaned forward, eager despite the tension.

Let's begin with facts.

I said last night multiple team members experienced unexplained phenomena.

I need full disclosure from everyone.

Thomas went first, describing the whispers he'd heard during his watch.

His account was precise.

Time stumps.

Direction.

Duration.

Scott followed with the instant at his tent, demonstrating with his hand how the pressure had felt against the fabric.

Sarah described the figure walking along the beach, female form approximately 5'6", moving at normal walking pace before vanishing.

Emily documented everything in her notebook, occasionally asking clarifying questions.

When her turn came, she produced her tablet.

I've compiled all reported incidents.

She displayed a timestamp chart 23 separate occurrences between 2200 and 0600 hours, predominantly auditory and visual.

No physical evidence remains after each event.

Robert cleared his throat.
