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?]

Oh!

[That's really smart.]

I see. Yes... yes. That makes perfect sense. I hadn't considered looking at it that way. Good thinking.

[Now she's quite curious about his investigation. This is absolutely a good guy to have around.]

[semperperatus]

Yeah, yeah...

[Ding. Hang on, some things are coming together in his mind mind the sharks flying out of his ears]

Yeah! Yeah, it makes sense, it has to. Especially with the zero gravity, if that's been on all night and the guy over there just turned it off--

[Thumbing towards Mr. Grumpy Evidence]

That's why the blood looks new, it doesn't clot properly in zero gravity. And...and that's why there's blood on the rungs! The murderer had to use the ladder, they had to use it as a tether in the environment in order to ground themselves to get out of the room, like on the space shuttle!

[misinforms]

Oh? Oh!

[She sees where you're going with this and she likes it.]

I wasn't aware of that fact about blood. It certainly explains a lot of things. Not that it makes this any less crazy, however it is starting to come together.

[semperperatus]

Yeah, I mean...I don't know if this'll work in the end, but if it helps, it helps.

[misinforms]

At the very least, it may be able to narrow things down. Anything we can use to help profile the murderer at this stage of the game is helpful.

[semperperatus]

Ha, yeah.

[Ok, it does start pretty high...]

Honestly I think this might be the least crazy thing that's happened in space. Which is pretty sad.

[misinforms]

This is my first venture in space, so I'm afraid I don't have much to compare it to. Although... among the things I have seen, this is pretty tame in comparison as well. It's rather unfortunate.

[semperperatus]

...My second time in space. Not sure whether less crazy is a good thing, though.

[misinforms]

I'd like to think it's a nice goal. I'd like a little more normalcy in my everyday life too.

[She'd like to get out of the paranormal, ghost, spirit medium... all that... stuff and into something more normal.

Why can't she just write normal books.]
