As expected, it raises as many questions as it answers. What the hell is up with her blood? Combine this with what else you know about her body, you wonder how she could be healthy with all of these elevated levels.
You throw the folder into your satchel. You don't want her to see this. Well, you'll have the whole day with her, so you suppose you'll figure it out on the fly.
You boot up your computer so you can contact your two pals over FRIENDCHAT. It'll take a moment for them to get here but both tell you that they'll be there ASAP. While you wait, you're going to briefly check the security cams to see how your anomalies are handling themselves.
In IN LIMBO'S cell, the flowerbed is deathly still. Its many arms are as still as the arms on a statue. Even its flowers aren't moving. The only sign that the anomaly is still kicking is the subtle twitch of the corpse underneath the flowers. <span class="mu-b">There's a LOT of static in the security camera's feed, oddly enough.</span>
In NOWHERE'S SOMMELIER's cell, the android is mindlessly polishing at its reservoir with a small cloth piece it tore off of something. Every few seconds, it would stop mid-scrub to stare at its body before it returns to cleaning itself.
In LOST SINCE 199X's cell, the towering behemoth of a man is scratching something into the wall with its cracked nails. Traces of dried, black gunk are running down the walls as it continues to scratch words into the wall.
Right after you checked on your anomalies, you hear a knock at the door. Ah, your friends must be here. You step away from your computer and you quickly scan the room to see if your supplies are here. You spot a corner towards the back of the room where all of the junk was thrown into.
>BOOK BUNDLE, TRASHED LANDLINE, MARTIAL ARTS TAPE x2, ART SUPPLIES, RESEARCH BUNDLE and FLASHBANGS were delivered!
>The books you obtained were FORENSICS 101 and BASIC PSYCHOLOGY FOR BABIES 102!
You grab a fresh labcoat from the RESEARCH BUNDLE before you open up the door. Lo and behold, your two coworkers are here! The <span class="mu-b">Man</span>, like always, is indescribable beyond the most basic facts that he is humanoid and certainly a <span class="mu-b">man</span>. Right behind him is Ashton.
You can see the exhaustion in her dull yellow eyes. Her white dress shirt is wrinkled to hell and back and the rest of her security guard outfit isn't much better. She smiles when she sees you. "hey, vincent. got some sleep? i didn't, haa." She takes a moment to stretch her shoulders before she walks right past the <span class="mu-b">Man.</span>
Good, she didn't see him. "Yep. Long day, huh?"
"you don't know the half of it. thanks for calling me, i really needed a break today."
The <span class="mu-b">Man</span> rolls his eyes. A break, he laughs, like working here is a break. Ashton, of course, doesn't respond.
You parrot the <span class="mu-b">Man's</span> words to Ashton. "trust me, vincent, the things they ask us to do are wild sometimes."
"Hey, uh, before we start. I should tell you something."
