FIFTH INVESTIGATION

[bathymetric]

Morning dawns on Friday with the same sense of horribly mundane not-quite-dread it must by now, everything normal as you wake to leave your rooms and yet... well, the weeks haven't been kind to this usual favorite of days, have they? It's been over a month now since your last normal Friday.

But maybe this one will be different. Maybe you'll all find that despite everything, you've all finally made it to the end of one of The Professor's motives. You've outlasted him, and can see what happens when you all do so.

Or maybe not. Only one way to find out.

[ It's a note written on the fancy vending machine paper! It reads:

We need your help. We can only be here for a short while. Fitness room tonight. ]

[bogwife]

[Oh! Ohhh. This is important. She's going to tuck this away into her skirt pocket with the bandages for later.

Anything else about the body she should take note of?]

[bathymetric]

[ Well, there appears to be a rope going under his leg with one end near the door and the other tied to the weight rack! Might be worth taking a look at that, actually. ]

[bogwife]

[Hell yeah, she is on it. She climbs back to her feet and follows the rope from Brian to the end near the door. It sounds like it's set up to be a trip wire, is that right?]

[bathymetric]

[ It very well could be! There's a bracket screwed into the doorframe over here. ]

[bogwife]

[Interesting, interesting. Will she find anything if she has a closer look at that?]

[bathymetric]

[ No, but she might note there's another bracket in the ceiling from which the rope is hung!

And that, at last, is all the Big Evidence in the room. Well done! ]
