Fifth.

[trustfellowship]

It's been a difficult week. Between memories seeming to align in a particularly unfortunate manner for several people and the incentive that was given on Tuesday leaving tensions running high, the hospital seems to have been having some difficulties overall. However, there have been a few morale boosts here and there – will they be enough? Friday morning dawns like the rest of the week before it – those bursts of static fire off at seven, the doors to the kitchen unlock, and a heavy silence has settled over the building. And thankfully, the area near the dorms is once again free of blood. At the same time, by now you've likely noticed a few patterns around here. Memories come flooding back on Sundays. Incentives are on Tuesdays. On the weekends, people die. Let's see if the pattern holds this week, shall we? Explore?

[Uh, wow. Damn son. Well, first of all: how big is the hole?]

[trustfellowship]

[Fist-sized.]

[aspiringly]

[Damn son. Right, well... going by the trajectory (aka i guess he's looking through the hole), is there anything on either side that would correspond to this? He's basically interested in seeing if maybe there was a projectile involved here somehow.]

[trustfellowship]

[It doesn't seem like it, no! But while you're checking this thing over you'll want to be careful - there's something on the casing of it.]

[aspiringly]

[Oh boy, what is this thing? Is it liable to stab him...]

[trustfellowship]

[Nope, but you'll want to avoid it anyway! It's blood!]

[aspiringly]

[Huh. Alright. Also just for clarification's sake, where is this blood positioned relative to the hole (or is it in the hole)?]

[trustfellowship]

[It's near the hole!]

[aspiringly]

[Okay! Also in terms of quantity, how is it? Also, does it look like it splattered on from something else, came from a drip, etc.?]

[trustfellowship]

[It's difficult to tell, it's just traces of blood.]

[heritrix]

['Sup McGillis, Rin found a syringe that had blood in it but definitely doesn't anymore, and she's here to join you.]

Is that blood?

[Sure looks like it. Is it only on the tower or is there any on the floor? And knowing the volume of a syringe, does this look like way less blood then what you'd expect a syringe to hold?]

[trustfellowship]

[That's right, it's only on the tower! And it's definitely way less blood since it's only traces.]

[heritrix]

[Well that's just concerning. Haha. Okay then. Rin has no other questions, so unless McGillis does it looks like we're done here.]

[aspiringly]

[...Okay this seems really stupid to do but... does it look like he himself could put his arm through the hole or what...

(He won't do it if it looks like it's still plugged in though, because that's just silly.)

Just... wondering.]

[aspiringly]

It appears that way. It looks like you've found something yourself as well.

[Honestly, he's kind of concerned about what caused that hole too, so he's wondering if there was something here related to that but uh.]

[heritrix]

Yeah. It's a syringe.

[Being extra cautious, she has it wrapped in paper, but she'll peel it back so McGillis can see.]

The plunger is decompressed, so the contents were definitely dispensed.

[aspiringly]

[The fact that it looks like the syringe contained blood is at least somewhat concerning, but if it was used on a person...]

I suppose we might be hunting down some needle marks later on, unless anything is found on the body.

[heritrix]

Mm. It's too early to tell, but I have a bad feeling.

[And it doesn't look like there's anything else to be found around here.]

We should get moving.
