>Velvet, N to Observe, dump one of the black bags into Velvet's containment unit and silently watch what happens.
The janitor hefts up the bag over his shoulder, bathrobe on, and carries it to where it needs to go. It's clear something's heavy in there but this is just another day to him.
<span class="mu-i">Is this karma for what I have done?</span>
N: Delivery.
Without saying anything else, he tosses the bag onto the floor.
The anomaly stops dead in its tracks the moment the bag lands.
Employee N quickly steps back, not wanting to get too close to whatever's going to happen.
ANOMALY: What is this? Delivery? Delivery. No, no, delivery?
Whatever's in the bag squirms. <span class="mu-r">A plume of fire erupts from the anomaly's hand and instantly sets the bag on fire.</span>
ANOMALY: BACK! BACK! GUARDS, HELP! HELP!!!
<span class="mu-r">Muffled screams come from the now squirming and kicking bag.</span>
Employee N doesn't respond to the sight in any way outside of his growing worry at how the anomaly is going to react.
ANOMALY: W-wait, no, no no no <span class="mu-s">no no no no no no!</span>
The anomaly stumbles back, looking at its hands,
ANOMALY: no, no, I'm royal. I didn't do it. He-
ANOMALY: He did it. No, I'm a good wife, I'm good.
ANOMALY: imgoodimgoodimgood.
A flood of sweat coats Employee N's face as the bag's flames <span class="mu-b">suddenly shift into a white-blue.</span>
The footage starts to get blurry. It's getting too hot for the security camera's internal components.
Soon, all you can rely on is audio. The feed's completely black now.
ANOMALY: <span class="mu-s">DON'T PIN IT ON ME I DIDN'T KILL HER NO IT WAS THE MAID I'M GOOD I'M GOOD!</span>
Boots scuff against the floor. A fire crackles louder and louder.
N: fuck okay i got a few seconds time to skedaddle
ANOMALY: WITNESS! YOU'RE A WITNESS, YOU GOT TO STAY! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING, RIGHT?
N: lady i don't know what the fuck you're on about but i can't stay.
Employee N's breathing is ragged. Like the mere act of breathing in is hurting his lungs.
You hear footsteps quickly approaching something, followed by a man <span class="mu-r">screaming out in pain.</span>
N: GET OFF!
ANOMALY: NO! I CAN'T BE BLAMED FOR THIS, IT HAS TO BE YOU!
N: I said <span class="mu-s">GET OFF!</span>
A woman cries out as something thuds to the floor. The crackling only grows louder and louder.
The airlock door opens and closes almost immediately afterwards.
ANOMALY: ididntdoitididntdoithediditimgoodarenti?
The last thing you hear is footsteps from someone walking further and further away.
Employee N collapses onto the floor. <span class="mu-r">The skin on his neck, hands, and the left side of the face are burnt to a crisp.</span> He's barely even conscious. Alpha quickly picks the man up and escorts him to the medbay.
>1/5 bags have been fully burnt.
