Welcome Back, Loyal Vidshow-watching Citizens! And now back to our show.
Episode 3: Larry-R’s Lament
Turn 121: Elementary, My Dear Wat-SON…
Phil-R says (and does), “Phil-R gives the prone form a vigorous shake. He pauses a moment to raise Mr. Sock and says.” Mr. Sock says, “I think this clone is expired.” He continues (and continues doing), “before going back to trying various methods to revive the fallen clone.”
Isaac-O surveys the team and says, “Well, mutie brigade, what are we going to do now? Or are we just going to stand around like a bunch of AF surplus gelgernine vendbots?”
Dean-O exclaims (or tries to), “I’mb woyawwy ‘egishperb! Ishn’ tha’ gwape?” A bit of drool escapes from his mouth and his still-bendy jaw tries to work. Pulling out his PDc with one hand, he waves his arm, which wobbles alarmingly, in the direction of the remainder of the door and continues, “Whew, jou guysh gep on wiphat while I do this.” His sudden clarity of speech corresponds with an equally sudden re-firming of his bones.
At the about the same time that Dean-O’s bones resolidify, the slow strobe stops.
Aken-R says to the two there with him at the supply closet, “Listen up. The three of us have been on this team since the beginning, but we have mostly been paying attention to each other. Now at least we know who the mutants are. Have you noticed how interested Friend Computer is in our progress? And there is also the vidshow audience that is following every move we make. If we don’t start making some progress, we may get demoted to Infrared vat scrapers! Now, remember reading the Inspector Holm-S comics when you were a junior? Holm-S of the Commie Prosecution Unit?” His tone drops an octave to radio quality. ”’I’m Inspector Holm-S from the CPU, and I serve the Computer’. Remember that? Okay, now think, what would Holm-S do? He’d be looking for clues, that’s what. Eula-R died right in front of us, and we need to find out if she was murdered. We can only do that if we work together. So can we? And what do we know so far?”
Howard-R jogs back to where the bulk of the team waits by the supply room door. He tells the others, “The body has been fried to a crisp and so we can’t question him. I have no doubt he deliberately killed himself to protect his fellow conspirators. That is too bad as they obviously need to be arrested, brutally interrogated and executed forthwith. Sadly I couldn’t find any clues in the charred mess before a bot picked it up. No doubt it will be sent to Intsec and maybe we can find out something then. Which secret society he belongs to I do not know but one of them is behind this I am sure. My guess would be Psion as they probably used their freaky mental powers to cause him to use his filthy mutation to cover up the evidence. I admit it is a wild guess but it is the best I can do.”
Suddenly, there is an exclamation from Eula-R, who is swatting lightly at Phil-R while trying to pick herself up off the floor. “Leave me alone, youngin’. I can get up on my own. I’m fine, I’m… Hey, where’s my PDC?” It seems that she wasn’t quite as ‘expired’ as Phil-R thought.
We shall return to the PBEM Network’s presentation of The Bot Murders after these messages…
