SECOND INVESTIGATION

[bathymetric]

Friday morning rolls in and when you awake, your memories have been returned to you. No ceremony or anything, they're just... back. The Captain is silent, the ship is silent...

Probably a good idea to go check and see if anything happened while you all were asleep. You might not have to go very far at all.

LIVING QUARTERS

[bathymetric]

[ cant even take a shower in this place without stepping over a dead body smh ]

[ltcommandroid]

[Well, since he's here already and last week a lot of people seemed sort of traumatized by the body, Data's gonna look over Adeline this time! What injuries can be immediately cataloged at first glance?]

cw strangulation

[bathymetric]

[ There's definitely a few - probably most notable is what likely was the cause of death - indications of strangulation, and a wire still wrapped loosely around her neck. ]

[ltcommandroid]

[Oh.

Data will carefully unwrap the wire from her neck. Is it of identifiable origins?]

[bathymetric]

[ It looks like uh. A couple of other wires in her hair? Cybernetic enhancements, man.

Speaking of, looks like someone managed to pull out just a whole chunk of her hair. ]

[ltcommandroid]

[Oh, dear. That looks like there was a fight first. Are there any other defensive wounds?]

[bathymetric]

[ There's definitely some bruising here and there - including one on her chin that seems pretty rough, despite the area apparently being reinforced if he checks, but mostly it seems to be a mess on her hands and neck consistent with grabbing and scratching at a very sharp wire around her throat. ]

[ltcommandroid]

[Hm. Well, presumably there's blood on the part of the wire that was against the front of the neck, both from Adeline's neck and her hands. Is there any on the ends, where an attacker might have held it?]

[bathymetric]

[ Doesn't look like it! ]

[ltcommandroid]

[Very well! Any other damage to note on her body? Could he maybe guess at the time of death?]

[bathymetric]

[ Not quite enough to guess at the time of death, though it doesn't seem like. Super Fresh.

There does, however, appear to be something up with her. Robot tail? ]

[ltcommandroid]

[Sigh. Okay well he can probably understand robot tail. What's up with that? Also, I hear she's damp?]

[sivard]

[Zaveid still doesn't know anything about looking over injuries on the deceased, so instead he's going to be investigating anything else in the immediate area.]

[bathymetric]

[ There is one notable thing outside of the body here... a trail of dried saltwater stains leading away from the body towards area 1-B. ]

[sivard]

[Well, off he goes to see what people have found over there!]

[cethflayn]

[Flayn's finally emerging from her room and oh Goddess preserve her Adeline really is just laying down dead in the hall, this is horrible.

Is there anything around that she can investigate or do Data and Zaveid have the major points covered? There is one thing Flayn wants to do before she moves on to someplace to help.]

[bathymetric]

[ You can take some more broad strokes notes on the body if you like, Flayn! But that's the only real thing left to look at here. ]

[cethflayn]

[Flayn will definitely do that, since it's Adeline herself she has business with. In a sad memento way.

What's some broad strokes observations about the body that a field medic might notice?]

[bathymetric]

[ First off, the body is positioned outside room 4, reaching towards the door. There are, however, no signs she ever touched the door itself. ]

[cethflayn]

[Outside of Room 4, reaching towards the door - but she never made it. Could she have been trying to contact someone inside...?

How does that reaching hand look?]

[bathymetric]

[ Pretty roughed up, potentially from grabbing at the wire a bunch.

It's also damp? She's entirely damp, actually. Data will notice this also, but redundancy is good. Seawater, from the smell of it. ]

[cethflayn]

[Flayn definitely knows the smell of seawater.]

Someone tried to throw someone overboard again...? Or...no, Adeline said she could swim very far down. Maybe she tried to see how far she could get...

[Before, you know, the tentacle friend put her back.

Anything else?]

[bathymetric]

[ Nope! Feel free to do your sad memento business. ]

[cethflayn]

[Cool.

And funny enough it's going to involve that reaching hand. With utmost care, Flayn tiptoes around Adeline and gently affixes a friendship bracelet into place. In her mind, it matches Adeline's aesthetics well: two pink shimmery fish buttons flank a round, pearly white button with a fish scale pattern.

Flayn stays by her for a moment in silence, snuffling, before going off to find Lorna some tissues and comfort her roommate before the trial.]
