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

Sounds good, pretty sure we're on the same page. I know a good place around there to get dessert after too.

I'll try to get things set up with Morningstar in the meantime. You want character class descriptions to think over or are you good? I can just get you the link.

[ in noctis' private inbox, he sends a gps of the market nearest to his workplace. ]

Good shout re: Morningstar.
If you have any suggestions to narrow my selection down beforehand, I'd appreciate them.

[ he genuinely has an hour of time for this js. ]

[fessus]

Good shout? I like that, I might steal that one.

Oh well I was only gonna link you healers, we need a healer or Markus is gonna lose it.

[ This is your life now. ]

[retravel]

That one's free.

[ !!! ]

Markus is participating?
Don't know if I'm much of a healer, but if he needs the help, I could manage.

[ you should have led with the Markus stuff, buddy. ]

[fessus]

Thanks Leo

Yeah he's another healer but it's a big party to support rn so he's got his work cut out for him lmao. I made him guild treasurer so he'd have something else to fuss over that would calm him down. Seems to be working but he'll be excited about this.

[ confused but on board now anyway, rip ]

Yeah, of course, happy to help.

[ as of five fucking seconds ago, sure. ]

See you tomorrow, yeah? We might have a clearer idea of how to proceed then.

[ with BUSINESS not with guilds... ]

[fessus]

[ We're both doomed. ]

I mean you don't get to say ofc when you were fighting it a little but cool, glad to have you.

Yeah, I'll keep my schedule open around lunch.
