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?]

[Yep, that sure is a corpse. Margulis is just going to step into the room to look the body over.]

If you don't intend to be useful, leave.

Don't touch the body. [Not that Shadow ever looks happy--he's not bad, he's just character modeled that way--but he particularly looks unhappy. And a little matted.] Mind you don't step in the blood, either.

[misplacedxsheath]

I wasn't intending to. It's going to be difficult enough to identify the murder weapon without moving the body further.

[At least, he's assuming from the blood spatter that it was floating.]

[strikemonster]

Oh, I don't know about that. [Mai solemnly points up.] It could be up there.

[misplacedxsheath]

[He glances up and squints to see what she's pointing at.]

Hmm...easy enough to reach if we turn off the gravity, but doing so would alter the scene further. We can check when we're finished down here.
