Peek just outside and look at what's happening.

You look outside. Some of the others are doing the same, just poking their head out. There's a thick smoke filling the hall, but you make out seven of the others heading down the hallway. You're not sure who. A few minutes pass as the smoke clears slightly.
~Ding dong dong ding~
"A body has been discovered in the vicinity of Wildcat's Laboratory."
The lights switch from the dim night lighting to full on. |

Get into a group of people who are still here and heading in that direction, and head in that direction.

You make your way outside, waiting for others to form into a group. A few of the others join up and head towards the stairs. As you descend and the smoke starts to clear, you find yourself moving with Jill, Valerie, Calum, and Zack. When you get downstairs, you find most of the others already present. The only ones missing are zer0, Wildcat, and Francois...
The hallway is lined with puddles shining with an oily sheen, water pooled from the extinguishers. Some of it stained bright red. A trail of metal scraps leads out from the lab. At the end, sitting partially lodged into the metal of the central wall of the hallway ahead of you, is the centrifuge capsule. Janean and Texas are working together trying to pull it open.
Sammy and Anne are frozen in shock, barely turning to look as you all arrive.
Zarv punches the wall. "I am sorry. I have failed you." He wanders down the hall towards the lab, watching the scraps. The Bulgarian watches him for a moment, then follows along.
"Mikoto, she's still breathing. Our body is somewhere else... Texas help me out here, the rest of you there's still a body somewhere," Janean says as she struggles to pull a blonde-haired girl free from the wreckage.
"Hand her here...!" Mikoto says. She tosses the girl over her shoulders and starts making her way to the medical room. Janean and Texas go running after them.
Larissa goes to look at the wreckage, then stumbles back and screams. She falls on her back, scrambling back and pointing at where the wreckage meets the wall. "Th... The... There's... body..." |

John closes and eyes and takes a deep, deep breath.
Check the body, but just enough so that the identity can be discerned. If the identity of the body cannot be discerned, then a few actions will have to be taken.
"Nobody touch the body. I am going to see if (INSERT EITHER FRANCOIS, ZERO, OR WILDCAT, OR ANY COMBINATION, ALTHOUGH I'M PRETTY SURE THE BLOND IS WILDCAT AND ZERO IS DEAD SINCE I THINK THAT'S PUNK'S CHARACTER AND HIS THREAD IS REALLY INACTIVE) is in their room. (HE WILL PROBABLY SAY FRANCOIS IS ALL I'M SAYING)" If the identity cannot be discerned, just say all three.
Approach Sammy and Anne. "One of you, please accompany me." Take the first one who agrees, or both if they both agree. If neither agree, then approach Larissa and ask her to come with him. Go to the hall and check the room of either Zero or Francois, depending on the person dead. Knock on the door of the presumably alive person politely. |

Zack and Jill both move closer to examine where Larissa was looking. Zack almost falls over and retches while Jill winces, then starts trying to shift the wreckage. "Hey, someone give me a hand here..." she mutters. "Ugh... Heavy."
"Nobody touch the body. I am going to see if Wildcat, zer0, and Francois are in their rooms. He walks over to Sammy and Anne. "One of you, please accompany me."
"Uh... Yeah, sure," Sammy says. "Come on, Anne."
She nods, and the three jog back upstairs.
You make your way to the three rooms in turn and start knocking. No one answers any of them.
EVIDENCE: THREE MISSING |

Knock on the doors a bit louder and yell their names in a still calm voice. "If you two don't mind, look around and try to find anything. Any little thing will help. If we don't find much, I'm going to go check on the situation in the medical area." If none of this investigation gives anything, politely thank them and head to the medical area. [/spoilers] |

John tries calling louder. There's still no response from any of those doors.
"That's... hm." Sammy glances at Anne and stops himself.
"Oh, they must be really sleepy!" Anne says. "So am I..." She yawns.
"Well, thanks for trying," John says. You leave to go to the medical wing and almost crash into Francois as you go around the corner. It looks like he was coming from towards the bathroom and trying to sneak back to the dorms. |

John puts his hand on the shoulder of Francois. "Francois, I respect your decision to be isolated, it has a lot of merits to it. That wasn't sarcasm. But, a body has been discovered, and you are one of the people who was missing from the area, and I assume you haven't gotten connections with other people. They're all going to think it's you. I don't think it's you. It's too obvious. So, give me some info that will make me not look crazy for trusting in you." |

Francois looks at the hand on his shoulder and seems more than a bit nervous. "Uh... Buh... um, y-you mean... Alibi. You're asking alibi. About it. I, uh, was checking the water purification system I think someone tampered with it."
"What?" Sammy asks.
"I, uh, noticed it had some weird port open when I was doing laundry and I asked Alice a bout it and she wouldn't say anything and I think someone slipped something into it right before dinner and everyone got really tired and I got a sample of the water but I don't know how to test whether it was dampened I thought about asking Valerie but that seems really... hard." |

"I mean, it makes sense. You did want to say something at dinner, and we all were pretty tired after that. That sample will be key evidence. But why check the purifier now?" |

"So they couldn't hide any leftover evidence." |

"Makes sense. We should go get that sample tested, then. I can ask for you." |

"......OK," Francois says.
"Anne and I will check out the water purifier," Sammy says. "See if we can find any evidence."
"Yay, we're gonna go exploring!" Anne cheers.
You make your way back downstairs with Francois following behind you. No one is around the crash site, but you find a group in Wildcat's lab. Zarv is hunched over a table, looking at zer0's mask. The Bulgarian is looking at the ruined rotator arm. Valerie is in the corner, looking at some of the puddles. Jill stands near the door, examining the room and the others. She gives you a glance as you come in, then goes back to whatever she was doing. |
