DR NABIL HADDAD: Dr Nabil Haddad
LEAD INSPECTOR: Do you understand the status of this interview and the limits placed on distribution?
DR NABIL HADDAD: I understand. My agreement to answer does not waive any objection already entered into the record.
LEAD INSPECTOR: Have you been offered the representation, legal advice or staff support applicable to this procedure?
DR NABIL HADDAD: I have, and I reserve the right to stop if the questioning moves outside them.
DOCUMENTARY EXHIBIT D-01 Retained extract: AUTHENTICATED NAME: DR NABIL HADDAD. Relevant systems or locations: identity
LEAD INSPECTOR: Do you accept that this extract accurately records an event in which you were involved?
DR NABIL HADDAD: That is what the system reported. It is not necessarily what the equipment physically did. Check identity against the unprocessed record before you accept the later label.
LEAD INSPECTOR: What did you understand at that moment, before later analysis supplied a larger explanation?
DR NABIL HADDAD: 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: Yara touched the paper carrying the real name.
LEAD INSPECTOR: Do you accept that this extract accurately records an event in which you were involved?
DR NABIL HADDAD: The timing is supportable. Attribution is not. the person who held the contemporaneous log can confirm the sequence, but not necessarily the interpretation.
LEAD INSPECTOR: Who else was physically present and capable of confirming your account without relying on the same electronic record?
DR NABIL HADDAD: The timing is supportable. Attribution is not. If the original is no longer available, that absence should remain part of your finding.
LEAD INSPECTOR: Are you saying the official record is wrong?
DR NABIL HADDAD: I am saying two honest records can disagree when they were generated from the same compromised source.
DOCUMENTARY EXHIBIT D-03 Retained extract: I witnessed that text generated from the service chamber keypad while Dr Nabil Haddad maintained the Open Water hold. Associated persons: Yara al-Tawfiq Relevant systems or locations: evidence
LEAD INSPECTOR: Do you accept that this extract accurately records an event in which you were involved?
DR NABIL HADDAD: The values agree with one another. Agreement is not proof that they describe the real world. My answer is limited to what I personally saw, heard or ordered.
LEAD INSPECTOR: Why was the matter not escalated through the ordinary reporting route?
DR NABIL HADDAD: The values agree with one another. Agreement is not proof that they describe the real world. I will not improve my memory to make the chronology easier.
DOCUMENTARY EXHIBIT D-04 Retained extract: HALAJ – DAY 112, 08:40 GMT The names that morning were Owen Bell, Samira Qadri, Luka Petrovic and Nabil Haddad. Associated persons: Yara al-Tawfiq, Owen Bell, Samira Qadri, Luka Petrovic Relevant systems or locations: North Sea
LEAD INSPECTOR: Do you accept that this extract accurately records an event in which you were involved?
DR NABIL HADDAD: The values agree with one another. Agreement is not proof that they describe the real world. Yara al-Tawfiq can confirm the sequence, but not necessarily the interpretation.
LEAD INSPECTOR: What part of the retained record is incomplete or misleading?
DR NABIL HADDAD: I preserved the raw state before testing the explanation. Anything else would have changed the evidence. The missing interval matters more than the wording placed around it afterwards.
LEAD INSPECTOR: Are you saying the official record is wrong?
DR NABIL HADDAD: I am saying it may be accurate about the event and wrong about the cause.
DOCUMENTARY EXHIBIT D-05 Retained extract: Coerced contributor to Project Stillwater. Associated persons: Tanner — Argus engineer, Singh — Argus second engineer, Patel — Argus junior engineer
LEAD INSPECTOR: Do you accept that this extract accurately records an event in which you were involved?
DR NABIL HADDAD: That is what the system reported. It is not necessarily what the equipment physically did. Tanner — Argus engineer can confirm the sequence, but not necessarily the interpretation.
LEAD INSPECTOR: Which physical record should be examined before this account is treated as settled?
DR NABIL HADDAD: That is what the system reported. It is not necessarily what the equipment physically did. Tanner — Argus engineer can confirm the sequence, but not necessarily the interpretation.
DOCUMENTARY EXHIBIT D-06 Retained extract: Priya looked at the next line. “Dr Nabil Haddad.” There was no alias beside the name.
LEAD INSPECTOR: Do you accept that this extract accurately records an event in which you were involved?
DR NABIL HADDAD: 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 INSPECTOR: Did anyone instruct you to describe the incident differently afterwards?
DR NABIL HADDAD: I preserved the raw state before testing the explanation. Anything else would have changed the evidence. the person who held the contemporaneous log can confirm the sequence, but not necessarily the interpretation.
LEAD INSPECTOR: Are you saying the official record is wrong?
DR NABIL HADDAD: I am saying two honest records can disagree when they were generated from the same compromised source.

LEAD INSPECTOR: Do you identify the person shown as yourself?
DR NABIL HADDAD: I identify myself in the frame. I cannot authenticate the date from the crop alone.
LEAD INSPECTOR: Can you establish the location or date from anything visible in the frame?
DR NABIL HADDAD: The location is supportable from the surroundings. The purpose you are implying is not.
LEAD INSPECTOR: Were you aware that the image was being made?
DR NABIL HADDAD: I was not aware of the camera at the time shown.
LEAD INSPECTOR: Who had advance knowledge of your presence at that location?
DR NABIL HADDAD: That depends on whether the source is an official system, a copied feed or a separate observer.
LEAD INSPECTOR: What does this image prove, and what does it not prove?
DR NABIL HADDAD: Preserve the frames before and after it. A single image is a fact about light, not a complete account of conduct.

LEAD INSPECTOR: Is there any material fact you have withheld because you consider this recording or its distribution unsafe?
DR NABIL HADDAD: Yes. The existence of that fact is the most I will place in this copy.
LEAD INSPECTOR: What is the single next action this investigation should take?
DR NABIL HADDAD: Find the first system that accepted an answer without asking who had authority to give it.
LEAD INSPECTOR: Do you wish to add or correct anything before the recording is suspended?
DR NABIL HADDAD: Preserve the questions I declined. They may matter more than the answers you expected.
[Recording suspended. Source media sealed. Any resumed session requires a new opening declaration and exhibit schedule.]
