Fourth Investigation

[bathymetric]

It's hard to tell that - of if - the motive has passed. The radios are the same, there are no missing powers, the day begins like any other. But there's something heavy hanging over you, the knowledge that, well... it's Friday. And unpleasant things happen in New Rapture on Fridays.

While we would love to say it's remotely quiet and peaceful, we can't. Helios Suites and the grounds around them are body-free, at least, but... there's a series of booming noises coming from somewhere else in New Rapture, echoing through the empty halls.

Looks like the game is afoot, citizens.

cw finger trauma cont

[bathymetric]

[ It's consistent with like. Blunt object trauma? Not crushed to powder or anything, but something with force crunched his fingies.

There's other wounds to look at too, but like. Those are notable because Man, Come On. ]

cw finger trauma continues THIS KEEPS GOING

[pairtner]

[So, something heavy hit it...hm...

Anything that could hint that, like...someone stepped on his hand? At all?]

cw finger mention but.

[bathymetric]

[ Nothing in particular, but it does look consistent with that! ]

Content Warning: Last mention of finger mistreatment

[pairtner]

The fingers of this hand were stepped on repeatedly until they broke. It's unlikely it happened post-mortem.

[And pretty hard to figure out without an in-depth autopsy, so she'll have to leave it at that.

Alright, what other wounds do we have?]

cw uhhhhh bad painful wounds, torture

[bathymetric]

[ There are also several wounds across his chest and limbs - no particular pattern, but none of them are deep enough to kill. Just to wound. ]

Content Warning: Torture

[pairtner]

[Augh, if only you had anesthesia at some point, but that's unlikely.

All of them made with the same object/weapon?]

Content Warning: Torture

[bathymetric]

[ Seems likely!

One last piece of body evidence - back on his right hand, actually - there's a deep gash across the palm. By all accounts, same source as the rest, but this one is particularly deep. ]

Content Warning: Torture aaaaaa

[pairtner]

[Hm...does it go all the way to the other side of the hand?]

[bathymetric]

[ All the way across, yes! ]

Content Warning: Torture

[pairtner]

Gash in the right hand. It goes all the way through to the other side.

[Ouch.

Alright, one last thing: are there any signs of gasoline or accelerants or anything on the body, or on the immediate surroundings? Aiba is looking for signs setting him on fire might have been a goal but didn't happen for whatever reason]

[bathymetric]

[ Nope! Nothing like that here. That's all there is to find about the body. ]
