Episode 21 brings me back to a question I’ve had for a while: where do the case numbers in the episode descriptions come from?
I don’t think it’s the staff anymore. I think it’s Fr3-d1.
Consider the case in Episode 21: Alice didn’t categorize it, she deleted the case. Yet the episode has been coded.
Episode 20 has a number, but we see in Episode 21 that none of the staff are acting as though Gwen is in active danger.
Both Episode 20 and 21 have case numbers that show they were coded on the same day, the day of Gwen’s encounter with Ink5oul.
Episode 3 has Alice suggest a coding for the case that is slightly different from what’s in the episode description. It could have been Sam entering it differently, or it could be a correction.
Episode 1 mentions misfiles; the very existence of misfiles means that someone or something is comparing what the staff enter to another source.
I think the computer is categorizing them.
Possible reasons for the human coding:
Humans are basically doing AI training (similar to CAPTCHA) and/or
To force them to engage with it for Reasons (likely Spooky and/or Evil reasons)
