FOURTH INVESTIGATION

[bathymetric]

It's certainly been another interesting week here at the bottom of the ocean. You met what may or may not have been a ghost, you made some discoveries, but mostly you all kept yourselves busy against the crushing... well, pressure of your situation. The motive again seems to have hit a few of you, and it might not be too hard at all to think that this week isn't going to be any different than the last. But you've all been keeping yourselves busy against the looming Friday, and, well...

It's time to see if that paid off, or if what they say about idle hands is true, I suppose.

[You know what? Let's go to the garden. Let's see if there's some new fertilizer.]

[bathymetric]

[ You can relax in peace, Rhea! The garden is clear! ]

[valentinus]

[ Let's go head to the bar. Probably a nice place to chill with drinks. ]

[bathymetric]

[ Probably! Go get your drink on, Vinnie, the bar is clear. ]

[bolderfell]

[Was it THE PROFESSOR in the LIBRARY with the WRENCH?

Okay no, but Therion's heading for the library first thing.]

[bathymetric]

[ The library is wrenchless! Feel free to relax, buddy, it's clear. ]

[nothingcanstop]

[ Della is going to check the cartography room. It's been her place of choice lately, after all. ]

[bathymetric]

[ Oh dear, someone left this room kind of a mess... there's kind of a lot going on.

Maybe that person lying on the ground over there can explain? ]

[mouflon]

[ Rin will head up to the museum again, specifically heading to the cartography exhibit. ]

[bathymetric]

[ Say hi to Della! And to a mess, good grief. ]

[hardnosed]

[ Welp, she's gonna go to the museum! The weapons room, specifically. ]

[bathymetric]

[ There's definitely a surprise thing in here that will help us later, but it isn't a body! ]

[emberserker]

[Four for four, let's check the dinosaurs.]

[bathymetric]

[ So Anna, uh... are you passing through the garden or the aquarium to get there? ]

[ladygeryon]

[Nira's gonna go look at the rock exhibit in the museum.]

[bathymetric]

[ Well, which crime scene she ends up at seems to hinge mostly on which way she goes into the museum! The choice is yours! ]

[lovelikeyou]

[Rose, along with her lion, will be off to the sewing room again!]

[bathymetric]

[ The sewing room is clear! Go relax, Rose. ]

[bathymetric]

[ Well, once a few people have found each body, your favorite guy speaks up over the speakers. ]

It looks like things have turned out even more poorly than usual. The Ace Scientist and Illeagle are no more. Find who did this, won't you?

And don't worry, the sharks have been moved out of their tank. You're not in danger looking in.

[archboxer]

No names this time?

[...Did the Professor just hate Seteth's title or what?]

[bolderfell]

[Therion drops his apple.]

CARTOGRAPHY EXHIBIT

[bathymetric]

[ Maybe one of the maps will just lead you straight to the killer! Easy peasy. ]

[mouflon]

[ Okay, so like

in the absence of a professional body-toucher, Rin is going to take up this duty. She's seen corpses before, it's fine!

So, to start, tell me about where and how Shelley's body is positioned. ]

WEAPONS EXHIBIT

[bathymetric]

[ Perhaps, in retrospect, one could call this exhibit ill-timed on the part of the curator. ]

Re: WEAPONS EXHIBIT

[hardnosed]

[ WELP, SHE'S HERE ALREADY. Is there anything that's not?

... the weapons, I mean, are there any obviously missing weapons. ]

HALLWAY BETWEEN MUSEUM AND AQUARIUM

[bathymetric]

[ I call this one "From Bad to Worse" ]

[nothingcanstop]

[ No, okay. Focus. Stop. She's seen... Well, this comes pretty close to worst but Ema, Ema told her people depend on her. Ema depended on her. Ema would want her to help.

Della centers herself. What looks out of place here? ]

AQUARIUM (GORE CW)

[bathymetric]

[ we're gonna need a bigger... everything, really ]

[emberserker]

[Since Nova called dibs on body-touching, Anna will look from the top of the shark tank -- anything she can see down on the floor from here that bears mention?]
