Sixth Investigation

[bathymetric]

Another Friday. The air is strangely cold as you wake, potentially wondering if this week will follow the trend of the last two. How can you afford to keep bleeding people like this? Surely this isn't sustainable. One way or another, some kind of reckoning has to be coming.

But before that reckoning, there's one more time you need to go back into the breach. You hope not, but... it was one hell of a motive this week, after all. Up and at 'em, gang. Helios Suites is body-free, so you can grab a breakfast or something before heading out, but... for one last time, there's something out there for you to find.

What...?

[Brett, somewhat foolishly following the sound of commotion, walks in here.

And, well, he’s done really well here so far. Mostly. But here, at the sight of all that blood, his face goes abruptly paper-white, and he makes a small sound in the back of his throat before his knees buckle and he just finally faints.]

Brett--

[heck heck heck]

...Pardon me. [Okay, she might not be very strong, but she should be able to at least... drag Brett to a wall and prop him up a bit. Make sure he's okay, while everyone else deals with uh

Zinda.]

[Luckily, this is one of those momentary blackouts rather than sustained unconsciousness - ]

Holy fuck!

[Unluckily that does mean he is awake and able to witness this again!]

[sastruga]

[That's okay. She's gonna get in front of him. Force him to look over at her, putting her hand up on his shoulders and everything.]

Brett... Just don't look, please.

[Brett curls a hand around her wrist as if to ground himself, looks up at her, and immediately feels awful in a different way!]

Sorry, sorry, I - um, Zinda.

[She needs help more.]

[sastruga]

...People are with her. It's okay.

Maybe get some air? Or water?
