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

Episode 3: Larry-R’s Lament

Turn 124: Clues Clues Everywhere!

Dean-O puts his PDC away, puts on the armband, and starts to read through the pamphlet.

Howard-R says, “Sure, citizen. I am not worried about getting my hands dirty.” He goes back around the corner, and starts searching the ashes. Turning to the a camera, he says, “The idea that PURGE is involved worries me. They are both bomb planting terrorists and people who want to destroy friend computer. Such insane wickedness is chilling. PURGE is one of the worst secret societies in Alpha Complex. The one thing we have in our favor is that they are usually insane and can make mistakes normal clones don’t make.” He then shouts back around the corner to Aken-R, “Yes, and he once said that it is better to lock up ten innocent clones then to allow a guilty clone go free for one guilty clone can wreck havoc in society. There is truly wisdom in his sayings.”

Phil-R’s be-socked hand pops up over the walls of the cubicles around the corner. It is holding a slightly scorched PDC. Mr. Sock’s voice says, “Here it is I found it! It’s a little scorched it seems but it appears to be functioning” The hand moves around the cubicles, heading back toward the rest of the team. It stops suddenly just before arriving at where Howard-R is searching the ashes. Phil-R says (and does, though only Howard-R can see him), “Upon noticing Howard-R, Phil lowers the PDC he was holding aloft and greets Howard-R warmly.” Mr. Sock says, “Hello friend troubleshooter, look what I found!” He says (and does), “Phil-R holds out the scorched PDC for Howard to glance at and then pulls his hand back. With his other empty hand Phil-R swings his hand up and points towards the ceiling with his index finger.” Mr. Sock says, “Oh yes, I nearly forgot I still have your blaster don’t I? Hmm yes give me a moment to retrieve it, it checked out fine.” He says (and does), “Phil-R rummages through his things and produces a RED blaster for Howard-R which he holds out towards Howard-R grip first.”

Isaac-O steps fully into the closet, and is out of sight of the cameras.

Aken-R makes a ring with his thumb and forefinger and looks through the ring as he steps into the closet after Isaac-O. From inside, he can be heard saying, “It focuses your attention, you know,” he says, “it’s another thing I learned from Holm-S.” There is a pause and then he says, “Are you using the magnifying glass, team leader? You are the only one with clearance to use it.” There’s another slight pause, and then, “Oh, and also, do you think the rest of us could get access to the case file?

Dean-O says, “Great idea!” He then pulls his PDC back out, presses a few buttons, and then puts it away again. Each of the rest of the team’s PDCs beep with an incoming message shortly thereafter. He then pulls out the GREEN Magnifying Glass and starts using it to read his pamphlet.

Aken-R’s voice once again can be heard saying, “Did you subject your find to fingerprint detection, friend Isaac? And what is that thing, anyway? Any suggestions?” He then starts humming some tune, but it suddenly breaks off in a gasp, the sound of tearing paper, then, “Lookit, here’s another one of those doohickeys.

[OOG: To clarify who’s where:

(The smoking boot is the ashes, not an actual smoking boot)]

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