THIRD INVESTIGATION

[bathymetric]

So the mood, test subjects, has been a little... rough, maybe. The vibes, they're not great for a lot of you. Even some of the normally calm and/or collected among your number seem to have let this week's motive get to them, and when the lights click on on Friday there are some among you who may well just assume there's a body to find. It wouldn't exactly be unreasonable, would it?

But hey, maybe you all held out! Maybe this can be a turning point in your fight against The Professor and his motives, and you can come together to tell him off once and for all! Wouldn't that be nice? One nice week.

Well, only one way to find out if that's an option.

I feel like we have this down to an art by now. [Your favorite body poking assistant is here to help.]

[snackooed]

For better or for worse, I think you're right. But what do you make of this, uh...rock?

[ She seems like she's a bit at a loss for how to handle it... ]

[bogwife]

[She's already tied Princess to the bar so she won't wander into the crime scene or, Ancestors forbid, jump in the wave pool so she crouches down next to the body and squints.]

Did someone put that into his chest afterwards or-? [What the fuck is Femblem?]

[snackooed]

I actually don't think so. I mean, it's where his heart should be...

[ What the fuck is right. ]

[ did i forget to mention it looks like it has veins

thats not important to this case it's just kinda fucked up ]

[snackooed]

Could it be that this thing was circulating blood..?

[bogwife]

That's- hm. [Don't like that at all!!] It has veins so that would...make sense... [She grimaces. Dwarves may have been born from the Stone but Seteth is most definitely not a dwarf and this is not what dwarves look like on the inside.]

Did you find anything else in the wound aside from the, ah, veins?

[ Ema looks like she enjoys this just about as much. But anyone alive for as long as he was must have had some peculiar biology... ]

I found some pieces of black metal. Presumably from the weapon that pierced his chest...
