Fourth Investigation

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Well good news for everyone, when you wake up this morning the elephants are gone. And even better news, everything on the first floor seems completely normal! Still, even the most optimistic of those living might be uncertain that nothing at all is awry.

But who knows! Maybe Randy decided to give you a break this week because you're all his friends!

Want to Investigate anyway?]

[So, has Soos ever seen the aftermath of an explosion? Because that is very clearly the case in the pool room, ground charred and everything. And hopefully you didn't desperately need that pool table because it's been completely decimated.]

[sorrydoods]

[Thanks, that was actually something he liked]

Wh-what the hell happened here?!

[Is there anything specific he could tell about it? like what caused it? Or is it just some random explosion or something?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Well Soos might find some weird scraps on the floor that might help explain some things.]

[sorrydoods]

[Good thing Soos has been in here multiple times!]

Was...was there some sort of bomb or something?!

[He's picking up a scrap and checking it out. Is it metal? Or is it wood?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Mostly metal! Definitely some mechanical and electrical scraps from around the mansion. And I'm not sure if Soos interacted with Rocket much, but he may or may not recognize the remains of anulax batteries on the floor.]

[sorrydoods]

[Okay, pocketing those scraps. Also, he interacted with Rocket a little bit, but not enough to know about these batteries, so he'll pick those up parts of those as well.]

What is this?

[Does it look like it broke from the explosion? Or broken by getting thrown on the floor or something similar?

...don't tell me they caused the explosion...]

[hasit]

...The battery.

[Leia glances over, recognizing those bits.] A very powerful item from Rocket's world. He was going to try and use them to blow us out of here...

[sorrydoods]

Wait...blow us out of here as in...making something explode?

[He's staring at some of the more burned parts of the room. A little battery did all this?]

[hasit]

Yes. A few weeks ago, during my meeting. He brought the idea up, but it didn't seem like he'd been able to find a way to detonate them...

[Welp.]

[sorrydoods]

[Ha ha ha he wants to die]

Alright, I'll...I'll keep this in my pocket.

[And it goes in his pocket as well. Now he's gonna wanna wash these pants.]

[hasit]

Yes, hang onto it. It might...we might need it.

[You know. To solve All This Murder.]
