So it's been almost a year since I last ran the Disappeared, and while rereading my notes, I came across something odd in the description of the evidence:
The evidence that Tancred used to indict Zarta consists of a series of letters written in a halting hand that resembles the paracountess’s. Upon closer examination, however, the letters’ writing differs significantly from the note found in Zarta’s study. The forged letters are addressed to a prominent House Thrune enemy, and in them “Zarta” discusses selling privileged Chelish information supposedly meant to foment political insurrection. Zarta’s personal travel logs, written in her natural hand, are also included. While the first entry—a trip to Absalom’s Ivy District—does indeed match with the letters’ indication of Zarta’s supposed treasonous activities, the second entry proves the paracountess was away from Absalom during a time the letters claim she met with her conspirators in the Petal District. Both documents are in “Evidence Locker #A23” as described in Zarta’s prisoner receipt document, and the PCs must acquire the prisoner receipt document and the evidence to meet the success conditions of the scenario.
(Emphasis mine)
On first read, I thought the travel log was in a separate cabinet and a separate thing the PCs need to find. But the scenario clearly says they are both in the same place, and the travel log is included in the description of the evidence used to indict Zarta.
But if the submitted evidence directly contradicts itself, how did she get indicted in the first place? That just seems very...un-Chelaxian.
Is finding the travel log supposed to require a separate search pass in the same cabinet?

While you may have discovered evidence, contrary evidence is completely different and should be filed separately in subsection 43J of the evidentiary discovery briefing. If you believe you have found improperly filed contradictory evidence, you should report your findings directly to the custodial filing clerk of the day for inclusion into the triennial covert filing correction report. After a brief committee conference, a representative of the aforementioned panel will file a grievance requesting a correction of the status of the complainants inquiry.
Duh.
If, of course, you discovered a misfilling of evidence while in the midst of an illegal search of governmental secrets, you should probably just giggle very quietly, give thanks to whatever chaotic heathen deity you worship, and make sure no one ever discovers you were ever there.
