Recorded interview transcript
LEAD INVESTIGATOR: State your full name for the record.
DR JONAS KRIEL: Dr Jonas Kriel
LEAD INVESTIGATOR: Do you understand the status of this interview and the limits placed on distribution?
DR JONAS KRIEL: Yes. Record that I have asked for the original media and audit trail to be preserved.
LEAD INVESTIGATOR: Have you been offered the representation, legal advice or staff support applicable to this procedure?
DR JONAS KRIEL: Yes.
DOCUMENTARY EXHIBIT D-01 Retained extract: "Part of it." "Enough to reach Kriel's outer route if the Dutch reproduce the pressure marks." "Then assume they will."
LEAD INVESTIGATOR: Do you accept that this extract accurately records an event in which you were involved?
DR JONAS KRIEL: That is what the system reported. It is not necessarily what the equipment physically did. If the original is no longer available, that absence should remain part of your finding.
LEAD INVESTIGATOR: What did you understand at that moment, before later analysis supplied a larger explanation?
DR JONAS KRIEL: That is what the system reported. It is not necessarily what the equipment physically did. My answer is limited to what I personally saw, heard or ordered.
DOCUMENTARY EXHIBIT D-02 Retained extract: "By dependency." Eve divided the index before Kriel's architecture could treat it as one population.
LEAD INVESTIGATOR: Do you accept that this extract accurately records an event in which you were involved?
DR JONAS KRIEL: I preserved the raw state before testing the explanation. Anything else would have changed the evidence. Check the physical record against the unprocessed record before you accept the later label.
LEAD INVESTIGATOR: Who else was physically present and capable of confirming your account without relying on the same electronic record?
DR JONAS KRIEL: That is what the system reported. It is not necessarily what the equipment physically did. My answer is limited to what I personally saw, heard or ordered.
LEAD INVESTIGATOR: Are you saying the official record is wrong?

DOCUMENTARY EXHIBIT D-03 Retained extract: Kriel may be expecting you specifically because Rook used the name David Kane.

DR JONAS KRIEL: The timing is supportable. Attribution is not. the person who held the contemporaneous log can confirm the sequence, but not necessarily the interpretation.
LEAD INVESTIGATOR: Why was the matter not escalated through the ordinary reporting route?
DR JONAS KRIEL: The timing is supportable. Attribution is not. Check the physical record against the unprocessed record before you accept the later label.
DOCUMENTARY EXHIBIT D-04 Retained extract: That is why you are here." Kriel removed three notebooks from a shelf.
LEAD INVESTIGATOR: Do you accept that this extract accurately records an event in which you were involved?
DR JONAS KRIEL: I preserved the raw state before testing the explanation. Anything else would have changed the evidence. If the original is no longer available, that absence should remain part of your finding.
LEAD INVESTIGATOR: What part of the retained record is incomplete or misleading?
DR JONAS KRIEL: The values agree with one another. Agreement is not proof that they describe the real world. If the original is no longer available, that absence should remain part of your finding.

LEAD INVESTIGATOR: Which physical record should be examined before this account is treated as settled?
DR JONAS KRIEL: I preserved the raw state before testing the explanation. Anything else would have changed the evidence. If the original is no longer available, that absence should remain part of your finding.
DOCUMENTARY EXHIBIT D-06 Retained extract: The problem began seven hours earlier, shortly before Kriel's predicted challenge answered.
LEAD INVESTIGATOR: Do you accept that this extract accurately records an event in which you were involved?
DR JONAS KRIEL: The timing is supportable. Attribution is not. The missing interval matters more than the wording placed around it afterwards.
LEAD INVESTIGATOR: Did anyone instruct you to describe the incident differently afterwards?
DR JONAS KRIEL: The timing is supportable. Attribution is not. If the original is no longer available, that absence should remain part of your finding.

[Exhibit S-01 introduced. Subject permitted to inspect the displayed copy without handling the source medium.]
LEAD INVESTIGATOR: Do you identify the person shown as yourself?
DR JONAS KRIEL: I identify myself in the frame. I cannot authenticate the date from the crop alone.
LEAD INVESTIGATOR: Can you establish the location or date from anything visible in the frame?
DR JONAS KRIEL: The location is supportable from the surroundings. The purpose you are implying is not.
LEAD INVESTIGATOR: Were you aware that the image was being made?
DR JONAS KRIEL: I was not aware of the camera at the time shown.
LEAD INVESTIGATOR: Who had advance knowledge of your presence at that location?
DR JONAS KRIEL: That depends on whether the source is an official system, a copied feed or a separate observer.
LEAD INVESTIGATOR: What does this image prove, and what does it not prove?
DR JONAS KRIEL: Preserve the frames before and after it. A single image is a fact about light, not a complete account of conduct.
