after the fire, i talked to one of the firefighters on site. he said the fire started at the nurse's apartment and that the nurse was found dead inside. no cause of death known at the time, but they were already considering the fire suspicious. he said there'd be a full investigation soon.

i went to have another talk with him, together with marcos diaz. [ between her powers of emotional manipulation and marcos' truth inducement, they make a good team. ]

he's not involved in the investigation, but he's heard a thing or two. apparently someone was stockpiling carcasses of the smaller creatures that attacked in one of the other apartments. apparently people have been doing that, looking to resale the bodies.

not sure how useful that is, but i figure we're better off sharing whatever information we get, no matter how random. maybe we'll spot a connection or a pattern at some point.

This is impressive work.

[ see, he can be a fake b, too. what a surprise this is, miss philips, waoooo ]

Do you know which of the creature subtypes were being stored?

[ all of them, or the ones with venom? perhaps they should scope out the black market. ]

[covertness]

thanks. i just hope it gets us even a little closer to going home

[ much surprise, such fake, wow. ]

he didn't say. i don't think he knew much more than that there were creatures in the first place.

[retravel]

Guess we'll add that to the list of things to investigate.
Maybe I can take a nap before the next bloody revelation gets posted on the network.

[ also yeah yep casually revealing his gang connections without okaying the move with bobbi. thor said he was SHIELD on the goddamn network. what's the point for him anymore!! ]

I wonder if we can get some of those carcasses on the market ourselves. We don't know if the DNA findings from Kylo Ren apply across the board.

[covertness]

it'd be worth a try
though i don't have a clue where to begin when it comes to the market on carcasses

[strove]

I have a feeling I know someone who can help.

@connor.resnik

I'd be willing to purchase one of these creatures if we find one on the black market.

Surely someone's been in contact with the nurse, if he was planning to make an exchange. If we seize the carcasses and waylay the seller, we can study one and interrogate the other.

[strove]

She didn't say anything about a sale. It was someone else in his building.

It sounds more like a crazy coincidence. The only thing that's happened so far that seems like one at all.

Soooooo what all are they selling em for anyway? Freaky supplements? I bet there's SOOOO much room for monsters in the freaky supplements industry.

No shit. Monster ball aphrodisiacs are basically guaranteed.

[covertness]

thanks for that mental image

[covertness]

your guess is as good as mine

@connor.resnik

[cyberlife]

Any information is good information, Katelin - thank you for letting the network know.

Does anyone have any underground contacts who might be able to take this further?

[covertness]

that was my idea as well, yeah

and i don't, but maybe someone else does

@leo.fitz

[retravel]

We might have met a few at the pub the other day.

[ just put "taking connor to a sketchy bar" on his list of sins, like, near the bottom. ]

@markus.manfred

[saviorexe]

Do you think the nurse and whomever was stockpiling the carcasses are connected?

Or is this an instance of unfortunate coincidence?

[covertness]

honestly? i couldn't tell you
i think the firefighter figured it was a coincidence, but that doesn't mean it was
doesn't mean it wasn't, either

@kylo.ren

[warfares]

So, he was being made an example of.

[ that's what it sounds like, at any rate. ]

I'm surprised no one noticed the smell.

[covertness]

maybe
i didn't ask about the air filtration system in the building

@eugenides.attolis

[kleptocratic]

So your source isn't involved in this investigation. Do you know who is?

[covertness]

he wouldn't tell me
the police and the fire department, i assume, but i don't have any names

@prom.argentum

[mercurio]

feels like i've come in during real exciting times

i wanna help

[covertness]

if this is your idea of exciting
then i think there's been nothing but excitement so far

that's good
though i don't really know where to start with that
do you have ideas?

@jughead.jones

[drivein]

Yeah, there's nothing creepy about hoarding monster parts or anything like that.

[ look, he was snooping on this post so luckily Bobbi doesn't have to repeat herself. ]

Do we know if there's any link to the burning carcasses to what happened? Or was it something else?
Call me crazy, the nurse being in the same building sounds too coincidental.

[covertness]

nothing worrisome about the probable intent of selling them on the black market, either

[ that's very kind ]

maybe there was a connection between the nurse and the person stockpiling the bodies
but the fire and the bodies weren't connected, i think
