🛎️ Concierge Briefing

Housekeeping found a guest's laptop left behind after an early checkout, Room 214, registered to a "Vera." IT pulled a full triage before wiping it for the next guest.

Hunt down the artifacts scattered across her machine and figure out how they fit together. Somewhere in that trail is a password she never meant to leave behind. Follow it, and it'll open a door to something she was keeping very quiet.
