the mock investigation

[airlockedmods]

[The week at the space station has trickled by slowly. Friday morning after CECE awakens everyone with her usual cheery announcement over their PIPs it's dead quiet, the oppressive threat to their homes still lingering in the air. There's still hours to go before the deadline but will someone really have the guts to go through with it in such small quarters?

Or is the better question has someone already gone through with it?]

[So after that announcement McBurn is going to outright avoid the zero G room because investigating requires effort and he has zero fucks to give today, not like he ever does.

So instead he's going to the kitchen to see what sort of food he can scrounge up that is remotely bearable and if there is any coffee left. Does anything seem out of the ordinary?]

[refusedtoleave]

[One of the things he'll find is Natsuhi and cup lying in a puddle. She's stopped to look at him. But she had been in the process of searching the drawers.]

...Hello? [Good morning doesn't really seem appropriate now.]

[almightyconflagration]

[Great, he just wanted some food and to leave. Excuse him, he's so not a morning person, or afternoon person or any time of day person.]

And here I was hoping to avoid dealing with anyone before getting some food and coffee.

[He gives a loud yawn. His tone sounds more bored than tired though.]

[refusedtoleave]

[She frowns at the tea again for second. Then turns fully to face him. After that announcement she's going to keep her guard up.]

...You better hurry then. I think we'll be joining them soon.

[Grouping together would help, wouldn't it?]

[almightyconflagration]

[He has zero plans to stick with others.]

Feel free to go on your way then. I'm not exactly concerned about the murderer coming after me.

[refusedtoleave]

...Why's that?

[airlockedmods]

[Nothing looks immediately out of the ordinary. Feel free to scrounge through the cabinets for some eats, McBurn.]

[almightyconflagration]

[He'll be doing just that. Hopefully nothing weird is in there, well besides the food itself.]

[airlockedmods]

[That depends, does a small tool box count as weird?]

[almightyconflagration]

[It certainly doesn't belong with the food. Now as much as he does tend to be a lazy ass, he does actually know not to leave fingerprints. He's had quite a bit of training in how to be an effective criminal after all.

So he'll look first to see if there are any towels to grab this with. If not he'll improvise with some of the food packets to ensure he doesn't leave his own prints there. Then first he'll look on the outside it. Anything on the outside like blood? Also does this look like something that anyone could have found in the station somewhere?]

[airlockedmods]

[There are some paper towels lying around if those will do.

The outside of the box is clean and does indeed have the same sort of aesthetic as the rest of the ship. Definitely originated on the ship.]

[All Natsuhi wanted was to get a drink. It wasn't the tea she'd have back at the mansion but at this point she'd make do.

She'd just made it when the announcement goes off. It's enough of a surprise that she drops the cup.

She's just going to look through the drawers. Hopefully there's a cloth there?]

Find anything?

[Luke's checking the rubbish bins himself.]

[refusedtoleave]

Not yet.

[Her hands are still damp from the tea. It's not going to stop her from looking though. [Is there anything out of place that looks like its in the wrong drawer? She's sighs and takes a look over the counter-top as well]

[airlockedmods]

[There are a couple of silverware drawers and for the most part they're unremarkable save for one that has, for some reason, a screwdriver shoved in with the knives.]

[returnofme]

Me either, but there's still a lot of garbage to sort through.

[refusedtoleave]

[Okay, she's going to look up at that and see what exactly he's doing.]

Shouldn't you be wearing gloves for that?

[Gross.]

[refusedtoleave]

[She stops rummaging when she sees it. Is there anything on it? Or is it as clean as the other items in the drawer?]

[Luke is checking the rubbish bins. A lot of interesting things can end up in the trash. HOPEFULLY NOT A DIANOGA HOWEVER SMALL.]

[airlockedmods]

[OH MY GOD, A DIANOGA IS EATING HIS FLESH HAND- nah, it's just a bunch of empty food packets and coffee grounds. But hm, what are these scraps of torn up paper in here?]

[returnofme]

[TORN UP PAPER. Yes. Yes, Luke's going to look at that.]

[airlockedmods]

[There's a lot of them, about a couple of notebook pages worth, all torn up into bits and tossed in the bin.]

[returnofme]

[Okay, welp. Time to gather them up and see if he can piece them together.]

Hey, um. [What was her name on his PIP again? Oh right.] Hey, Natsuhi? I found these. When you have time, want to help me sort through them?
