THIRD INVESTIGATION

[bathymetric]

It's Friday again. The same Friday, if the calendar is to be believed, that has already brought you so much trouble twice now. Well at least the once, but... you know. Time is already so weird out here.

As you all wake up, there at least aren't any bodies directly outside your doors? But it's still a deadline day for a motive, and, well... even three weeks in, you might have a sense what that means.

But hey, maybe third time's the charm...?

[??? That's weird... so did someone manage to break part of it to drop it down, maybe? He's not going to go poking the glass if he can help it, but can he get an idea of what happened here from the remains of the chandelier?]

[bathymetric]

[ It looks like, despite the height, someone managed to sever the rope holding the body of the chandelier up! ]

[scythegun]

[Ooh, interesting! Can he get an idea of what might have happened based on the rope down here? It doesn't look frayed, right - so more like it was cut with something?

...And actually, is there any mark on the ceiling, like say if someone threw a knife or idk shot the rope?]

[bathymetric]

[ It definitely looks cut! And there are no indications on the ceiling that anything else struck up there, nope! ]

[scythegun]

[Interesting... Anything else to note about the remnants of the chandelier or the casing above? Actually, while we're here - it doesn't look like anything could have been hidden in the chandelier, does it? Like the Captain couldn't have shoved a key in here to keep us from getting that mysterious rock open, right?? I swear this is relevant, Yeager was considering trying to get a closer look at the chandelier so like....... this is the worst way to go about it, but might as well take the opportunity???]

[bathymetric]

[ As sorely tempted as I am to put a color key in the chandelier for the sheer gumption of checking while a man is dead literally underneath it... no such luck.

However, it is notable that next to the body, there's some drag marks in the pool of blood. ]

[scythegun]

[listen. sometimes you gotta have the audacity.

But this is definitely an important clue, so let's check out those drag marks! Does it look as though it could have been Sylvando was moved or are the marks smaller than that? What direction are they going in?]

[bathymetric]

[ They definitely line up with the body having been moved! ... From somewhere a few feet away to directly under the chandelier. ]

[scythegun]

[Excellent, is there anything over in that general area that's important to note? More blood, missing glass shards from where blood was cleaned up, etc?]

[bathymetric]

[ The blood might be a little more focused over there, but nothing else seems too tampered with! ]

[scythegun]

[Interesting... Anything else to note about this or does Data have the rest of the clues in here?]

[bathymetric]

[ Yep, Data and Zaveid have the last couple clues between them. Good job! ]
