[CONTINUE + 4] Week 1 || act: investigate

[foundationmods]

[Everything is still, silent, and dark - just like it should be.

But there is still, undeniably...

a feeling of foreboding.

You know what this is.

One of your own...has perished.

At the hands of one of you.]

((One person only in each spot, please!))

[Now that the scapegoating plan is less theoretical, Karen shockingly finds herself reluctant.]

I think we should also consider the option of choosing an invalid culprit. Someone who might be "out of range."

[finalring]

Who would you consider to be “out of range?”

[oceanicbutterfly]

I don't have any way of knowing with certainty, but it seems like the end of the trial shouldn't be able to proceed normally if the culprit is someone who isn't here at all. Someone back at the Foundation, for instance, or someone who isn't even in this world at all.

[chimes in here quietly, just to shitpost:]

We all agree that Hatsune Miku did the murder.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Yes, that would--

[...]

She isn't real in this universe, is she?

[finalring]

No she’s not.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Whew.

[dereban]

If she was, I'd dare them to fucking try.

[There's a rather razor sharp smile that seems to be rather dangerous.]

[finalring]

Aah, so you’re saying that instead of any of us being scapegoated, we say someone that could have never been here.

Though I’m not sure. Wouldn’t that be breaking the rules a little too much?

[oceanicbutterfly]

We're already going to try to just leave without making any attempt to solve the mystery. I don't see how it could be worse than that.

[improbablenotimpossible]

It... might not hurt, though I suspect the result might be like entering an invalid command.

[sageking]

...Oh? Like that Entity?

[oceanicbutterfly]

I meant someone who isn't here and obviously isn't involved, but actually...

[accessorytomurder]

Do we know the tentative SCP label for this entity?

[sageking]

If there was one crafted, I believe that would likely be up to Solomon as I doubt Red has successfully given information of it to those outside of this place.

[le_mat]

Why don't we just write up an SCP report for it right now?

[dereban]

[Quietly chimes in:]

... I don't think that's a bad idea.

I do a lot of the paperwork primarily anyway, so it wouldn't necessarily be anything new to me.

[le_mat]

Just have Boss give it a number and we're good to go!

[dereban]

I'll work on it tonight; it'll keep myself busy.

Oh, but I suppose I should ask if there are any particular details that you guys want me to make sure to put in. Just in case there's anything I'm missing.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Good idea. I think... the imperative thing to note is its effects on memory...

[sageking]

And do not dare forget its possession ability.

[le_mat]

And it's a bitch.

[ not helpful]

[dereban]

You do realize I'm not allowed to curse on any official documents, right?

[...]

But - I'll keep the other two notes in mind.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Appears to have a specific interest in SCP-6350 instances. Currently uncontained. A task force under direct O5 command is investigating containment options.

[sageking]

[ ...chuckle. ]

Indeed. And that it is unrepentant, miserable creature who believes it is so above others, deeming all else as 'puppets', that it cannot hope to imagine anything else. Such is the depth of its foolishness.
