The Hunt for Auroras (COMPLETE)
#68

From the journal of Junius Roberts, Novanglian Bureau of Investigation agent:

“We realized that if UNE had any Auroras, they would probably be young. After all, New Englanders only arrived on the IDU’s planet and met the Kerlians relatively recently. We started by looking through records of students studying political science, communications, and criminal justice. The idea was that the Auroras would be interested in those fields.

We found a young woman whose personal information did not make sense: the first three digits of her social security number indicated a New Hampshire birthplace, but her birth certificate alleged that she was born in Rhode Island. Further searches uncovered more discrepancies.

She was a nineteen-year-old going by the name of Abigail Riley. Abigail was getting a Bachelor’s degree in Administration of Justice at Salve Regina University. It’s the one in Newport, Rhode Island. She planned to work in the court system when she graduated.

We had her come down to the university registrar’s office to ‘address some issues.’ There were three agents in the room, including me. I was in a chair behind the registrar’s desk, and there was a guy on each side of her. Large men were chosen because the Auroras are so well-trained.

Another agent was posing as the registrar’s administrative assistant when Abigail entered. He then stood outside the door for security. The registrar’s office had been temporarily cleared of other staff in case a confrontation ensued.

I said to Abigail, ‘The first three digits of your social security number indicate a New Hampshire birthplace, but your birth certificate alleges that you were born in Rhode Island. Can you explain this discrepancy?’

She replied, ‘I don't understand. As far as I know, I was born in Rhode Island. If there's something wrong with my birth certificate, I'm unaware of why. You'd have to ask someone who was an adult back then - naturally, I have no memories of my own birth.’

Then I said, ‘What about the fact that the elementary and middle schools you supposedly attended have no evidence of your presence, despite laws requiring careful record-keeping in schools throughout United New England?’

She replied, ‘Well, I'll admit... I often ran away from school as a child. I hated it. I preferred to read books myself rather than be around the other children. Perhaps my frequent absences messed with the records.’

Finally, I said, ‘You claim to have belonged to the Novanglian Junior Honor Society, a youth organization based on academic achievement and community service, yet they never considered you a member. Care to explain?’

She was acting innocent, saying, ‘I cannot explain that. It seems like someone has been messing with my records, but I don't know who it could have been!’

She then suddenly leapt towards one of the agents to her side and attempted to throw him against the wall. The other one stood up, and she kicked him hard.

The agent outside the room opened the door when he heard the scuffle inside and restrained Abigail before she knew what was going on. She was taken into custody.”
