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

No, that's alright, I should be testing the state of my collarbone and exercising the arm I've had in a sling.

It's a good idea.🙂

Oh, you know? Have you trained with him?

I have people to protect. I have to get this off as soon as possible, but I won't rush the healing process.

(it must be hard to have family here, or friends. to know they've been through the same experimentation.)

I see.

That'd be optimal, I've been relying on all of you to watch my back. The same as I've been watching yours.

Do you trust Morningstar, Fitz?

You're right, of course. At least I think so.

(a pause between messages, or what constitutes one. he always was extremely quick to reply, both a result of being used to it and volleying texts rapid-fire against markus.

)

We've disturbed the public and brought attention to ourselves on more than one occasion, we're being planted in the streets biweekly by an unknown organization, and we're eager to get involved in things beyond our current scope of understanding... we're rapidly becoming a liability.

I don't know how long Morningstar's hospitality is going to last.

What happens when we overstay our welcome, I wonder?

In Morningstar's place, I'd be using the human trafficking victims as bait. It's one of my larger concerns.

I'll call you, if I ever suspect something like that is about to happen.

We can take care of it together.
