In lieu of a full alibi (which has been explained in detail to Jakob and in mostly detail to ksedlar), I will just jot a few notes. (Also, please check the chat for a
strictly nonpublic claim that is relevant here -- I think after clearing the junk about mendel's claims, this is the most relevant claim for the question of my involvement this situation.)
I had been hanging out with NPs Philip Graves and Chase Christensen for the whole afternoon (and NP Ingerid Foesli for half of it, and NP Walker Weatherly(?) for the other half). This started with me giving them a tour of MIT, ending at floorpi at (according to timestamps in my chat with ixa) ~3:18pm. I was planning to get Philip/Chase/Ingerid to play board games on floorpi for a while, but Philip had a friend in Boston (Walker) who wanted to show them around historical Boston, so we left after ~5 minutes on hall. We took the red line down to Park Street (on which I encountered NP Mike Artin, who you are free to ask for a confirmation if you really want to confirm my location at this irrelevant time). This directly contradicts NP Mendel's purported claim to Jakob.
in Boston, we walked / green-lined around, exploring the freedom trail (ask Jakob and ksedlar, or the actual NPs if you ask me to ask them if they're okay sharing their contact info, for details) until ~5:15ish maybe? (the number being strictly related to Philip's flight time, which iirc was ~7:30pm) when we took the green line up to north station, then were driven by Walker to Philip/Chase's airbnb somewhere in Somerville, where I stayed until ~5:40ish before wandering off to take bus 85 from somerville ave @ union square to kendall/MIT. Based on the data in
this link I believe my bus left at ~5:53+:08? I remember it being ~8 minutes later than projected. I arrived on floorpi at ~6:20pm, where I saw ixa with their door open typing on a large screen mafia forum. I teased them about this, only to be greeted with "gao gao"; I then asked if they were alive.
