EXAM 2

[lockdownmods]

Exam 2.

[ Like last time, the exam begins with the desks arranged in a perfect circle; one desk for each person that's participating in the program. There are nameplates for everyone, and they have been bolted to each of the desks, facing the inside of the circle...

...including the deceased. Their chairs have been placed on top of their desks, signifying that they will not be needed. Above of their desks are holograms of their portraits from their profiles, grayed out and bloodstained.

Han is at the front of the classroom again, looking noticeably neutral about the entire setup. His laptop is closed behind him. ]

You know the drill. [his voice sounds soft, tight.]

Be careful with who you pick, as they'll be answering for their crime with their life.

Victim.






Suspects.



[ The physical evidence tray sits in the middle of the circle of desks; you all have the Evidence app on your tablets to access photo evidence. ]

[ Akira just sets down some shredded cloth, a single, skull shaped light that matches the string of lights Max set down, and a taser, with a cloth scrap attached to it. ]

This was everything. Looks like the light comes from the string that Max has... and there was an impact mark outside of the office, with blood around it. The tiles were cracked, like something hit it really hard.

I have a photo of it, if you want to examine it.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

I see.

[Poe nods.]

That matches up with the state of Henry's body... I think it's safe to say that is where he died.

[covertizer]

Really?

... [ So that was... where Henry had died. ]

It'd explain why all that stuff was in the office. If he died right outside, then the office was the nearest place to dump evidence I assume.

But the taser was just left there...

mods: question

[buriedearth]

Can I see the shredded cloth for a moment?

[ Does the shredded cloth match up with Henry's makeshift cape? ]

[lockdownmods]

[yes, they look a little like they were shredded by something sharp getting dragged diagonally across the fabric... in multiple places.

10 sharp lines.]

MODS

[buriedearth]

[ 10 sharp lines, huh?

Okay, well, that's strange, and he has no idea what's going on with that. But does it look like someone "cut" at it somehow as opposed to ripping it apart with normal hands, right?

For further questioning, does it look like the same kind of tear given to the cloth scrap that's tied around the taser? ]

[lockdownmods]

[no on the taser question,

and it does look like it was ripped, but by something sharper than bare hands.]

[buriedearth]

[ Okay, he's cool on that one.

...By the way, is this cloth scrap matching up to the other two clothing things here -- the shredded cloth and Henry's makeshift cape, anyway? ]

MOD CALL

[unhalting]

[Just want to confirm a couple of things: what kind of taser was it; the kind with prongs? Also, is that where the cloth scrap is attached?]

[lockdownmods]

[yes, it is]

[throwabookatit]

[ Follow-up question related to the taser. Is there any way to tell if it's been fired? ]

[lockdownmods]

[yes it has]

[unhalting]

[Also one last thing: the prongs were out like it was fired?]

[lockdownmods]

[yes]
