Hi everyone,

It's time again for the irregularly scheduled update on the shadowy conspiracies surrounding our spacetime displacement.

If you don't already know me, I'm Leo Fitz, one of the arrivals from the first transport. Prior to being here, I was an engineering and technology operative at SHIELD, an American extra-governmental military counter-terrorism and intelligence agency. Myself and several others have been investigating the circumstances of the fire and the nurse's death, with the generous aid of Gaby, El, and Morningstar's contacts.

Debris samples from the apartment site collected by Kylo (@kylo.ren) and I contained the expected signs of fire damage as well as a significant oddity: Residue left by an organic material. While the residue was too insubstantial and damaged for a full chemical analysis, it showed matching markers to the samples of the smaller creatures of unknown origin (designated 084s), previously tested by Kylo through Morningstar.

At great personal risk, Katelin (@katelin.philips) and Marcos (@marcos.diaz) also questioned the morgue attendants. In doing so, we learned the following information:

1. Our nurse suffered blunt force head trauma, noted as his cause of death prior to the fire reaching his body. Such an injury occurs most often by accident, as in the case of a car crash, or when an object is used to bludgeon the skull, as in the event of a homicide.

2. I'm inclined to classify this cause of death as suspicious, and it seems the local authorities agree, with a group of individuals in possession of NAFD Forensics identification having carted off the corpse before we arrived. Additionally, records of the nurse's collection and autopsy have been scrubbed, much to our morgue attendants' surprise and alarm.

Further investigation shows that all of the nurse's data has been wiped, as if he never existed in the first place.

Maybe this only confirms our suspicions of foul play and establishes a concrete link between the fire and the creatures. To me, it guarantees that we are dealing with an organization capable of using, coercing, and erasing individuals, even those who have proven useful to them in the past. Everything we do in pursuit of answers is a risk, so please be careful as we work together to solve this.

— Fitz

Oh, so when you said I dressed old-fashioned, you meant I fit into your Regency fantasy. My mistake.

[ what if he deletes this entire post and lets everyone figure this out on their lonesome!! ]

[saviorexe]

[He was willing to leave it at that! Gosh.]

Would you really say no to a high-collared waistcoat, a great coat, and maybe a cravat for good measure? You’d turn heads.

[selfimage]

I'd tend to agree with this statement.

[ after the longest, most deeply flustered pause at casa de shield. ]

Five-star review, and I haven't even taken you to the best beer in town yet.
Best fix that later.

[preceded]

[Now who's flustered?]

that sounds like a date.

[Like....Is that a thing that you know? And that you did, on purpose?

He's pretty sure he used to be good at this once. Several exes, and a small demon child ago]

@katelin.philips

[covertness]

so you're the new lab partner

[ sHE UNDERSTANDS NOW how fitz is letting you work with him instead of grumbling about systems endlessly (which may still happen, who knows) ]

!!

[preceded]

he's mentioned me?

[Well, and here he was thinking they hadn't quite put that label on it. If he could only chinhands a screen. Tell him everything]

[batricide]

Would you get serious? We're discussing a murder.

[retravel]

Thank you, Hafid.

[reneger]

nah
;)

[batricide]

Don't start with me, Malone.

[reneger]

wanna fight over it

[saviorexe]

[Wowowowowow

Hafid can’t have fun. But this works out, because Markus only allows himself a small quota of public ridiculousness anyway.]

Don’t worry, I’m still focused on the matter at hand.

You let a man pick your bow-tie once, and then comes hubris.

[saviorexe]

[HE’S INNOCENT]

Credit where it’s due. It was a nice bow tie.

[ don't get cute now ]

Smartened me up a bit, I suppose.
