Welcome Back, Loyal Vidshow-watching Citizens! And now back to our show.

Episode 3: Larry-R’s Lament

Turn 122: Jinkies! A Clue!

Dean-O says to Aken-R, “Hey, I loved those! Weren’t they great? It was all based on a true story too, which is great. I wanna get a hat like his, one day.” He then checks his PDC and starts typing on it, presumably filling out his mutant registration form as ordered.

Howard-R replies also, “We ARE making progress. We just found out that Quentin was a traitor. He may have been involved in these murders or at least his secret society may have been involved. They may have inserted him into our team for that very reason. Some spy from a secret society that is involved may well make the investigation very difficult. On the other hand you are right in saying we have to get moving. We should search the entire area of the fire to see if we can find anything in the ashes. Sometimes you can find clues even then. For example things that are made of alloys that don’t melt in a small fire. We can send those to Intsec. We can dust the walls for fingerprints and send them to Intsec so they can find out if someone who wasn’t supposed to be here was here. Other people on the team might have other suggestions that we should use.”

Phil-R says (and does), “Phil-R stands up and straightens his jumpsuit. He cocks his head to one side and says.” Mr. Sock says, “Your PDC? Hmm perhaps it fell out of your pocket when you slumped to the floor so dramatically, here let me help you look for it.” He continues (and continues doing), “Phil-R walks around the area looking at the ground curiously.”

Eula-R says, “Dropped it? I suppose… It has my medication scheduler on it, so I need it.” She brightens, “Actually the alarm should be going off soon, as it’s almost time for one of my medications, so we should know pretty soon exactly where it is.”

Aken-R looks uncomprehendingly at Eula-R being up and apparently ok and moves back over to her. “Eula! Respected senior citizen!” he says, shaking her hand vigorously. “We thought we had lost you! Um, can you tell us what you saw? What happened?” To the others he says, “Let’s listen carefully. We may pick up something similar in her and Larry’s stories. If not, something may come up when we visit the other victims. Can you share the case file with our PDCs, team leader?“

Eula-R tries to pull her hand back, looking annoyed, “Lost me? What do you mean? I was right here. What do you think, that I just dropped dead for no good reason? I’m not THAT old, junior. I just fainted, ok? I do that sometimes. As soon as I find my PDC, I’ll be taking something for it.”

Isaac-O looks inside the supply closet, and immediately picks something up off the floor and holds it up, using his jumpsuit sleeve as a kind of ‘glove’ so he doesn’t touch it directly. It is a small object of some sort. It’s difficult to tell what it is from any distance, though. “Look at this!” he exclaims, “It looks like the culprit left a clue! Clearly the work of those vicious bot haters the Frankenstein Destroyers!”

We shall return to the PBEM Network’s presentation of The Bot Murders after these messages…
