<Begin Log>
Max Schultz: Okay, the recorder is running. The current date is… 13/08/2018. Time is 16:33.
Paul Carver: Huh. Since when did the department have a recorder? I thought they only gave these things to the eggheads.
Max Schultz: Please refrain from smalltalk when the recorders running, Paul. The less tape I have to review later the better.
Paul Carver: Sure, sure.
Max Schultz: Thank you. Now, you just finished an interview with who exactly?
Paul Carver: Ricky.
Max Schultz: Can you state his full name and position for the recorder?
Paul Carver: Oh, yeah of course. Uh, Senior Archivist Ricardo Valde.
Max Schultz: And what exactly did he discuss with you?
Paul Carver: Family, childhood, medical history, grilled me real good about my commitment to my work and the department.
Max Schultz: Did he happen to present you with a book by any chance?
Paul Carver: Yeah he did, actually. Some dusty old tome filled with poems.
Max Schultz: And how did it make you feel?
Paul Carver: What?
Max Schultz: The book. Did it make you feel anything? A little off perhaps?
Paul Carver: Um, no? I mean, I felt a bit anxious handling it. It looked so old that if I put it down too hard it would turn to dust when it hit the table.
Max Schultz: Alright. Did you feel different in any way other than that?
Paul Carver: No. Why? Was I supposed to?
Max Schultz: No, no, nothing like that. Did Mr. Valde tell you to look at any page in particular?
Paul Carver: Yeah, he made me turn to some poem about kings or something.
Max Schultz: And did you read it?
Paul Carver: Yes.
Max Schultz: And?
Paul Carver: Well, it was ok I guess. Literature is not really my thing.
Max Schultz: Hmm, and did you read anything else in the book?
Paul Carver: No. I mean, I tried to flip through but every other page seemed to be gibberish.
Max Schultz: Interesting.
Paul Carver: More confusing than interesting to be honest.
<Schultz removes multiple sheets of paper and a pencil from his bag>
Paul Carver: Oh, I didn't know I had to write something.
Max Schultz: You don't. This is for me.
<Schultz begins to crudely draw a tree. Carver becomes visibly amused at the attempt.>
Paul Carver: Pfft. Wow, Max, your a real Picasso. If Picasso had Parkinsons and was my six year old nephew.
<Schultz holds the drawing up for Carver to see>
Max Schultz: Can you tell me what this looks like?
Paul Carver: An abstract masterpiece.
Max Schultz: Be serious, Carver. What does it look like?
Paul Carver: Sigh A tree?
Max Schultz: So we both agree that this image is supposed to be a tree?
Paul Carver: Is this a test?
Max Schultz: Is. It. A. Tree.
Paul Carver: Yes.
Max Schultz: Yes, what?
Paul Carver: Yes, it is a tree.
Max Schultz: Good. Can you spell tree?
Paul Carver: What the fuck is this? Kindergarten?
Max Schultz: Just do it, Paul.
Paul Carver: Fine. T. R. E. E. Tree. Do I get a lollipop or something now, Mr. Teacher?
Max Schultz: I can do without the sarcasm, Paul.
<Schultz takes another piece of paper and writes the word TREE on it before holding it up for Carver to see>
Max Schultz: What does this say?
<Exactly 1 minute and 32 seconds of silence passes>
Max Schultz: Paul?
Paul Carver: Hmm?
Max Schultz: Can you tell me what it says on the piece of paper here?
Paul Carver: No.
Max Schultz: No?
Paul Carver: It's just… gibberish.
Max Schultz: What do you mean by gibberish?
Paul Carver: I mean that there is no word. It's just a bunch of lines drawn together. It's totally nonsensical, it doesn't mean anything.
Max Schultz: Okay… How about this.
<Schultz reaches into his pocket and places an ID tag with Paul Carver's face and name onto the table>
