look in freezer

Heya Charlie... you okay?

[Primate]

Yep. How are you feeling?

[Primate]

"What happened in here?"

Look In Freezer

[Talitha]

I have no idea!

I've just come from the Apothecary.

Did you see what happened with Paul & the UFO?

[Primate]

Unfortunately not, bar what were part of. I'm about to try and head out there now.

[Talitha]

I saw from the roof that Quentin is dead in the car park. I'm gutted. He asked me to go help him and I didn't.

[Talitha]

Do you have any ideas how to get out there?

[Primate]

What?

How did he die?

Kane said via the walkie talkie there's a manhole exit in the carpark. I have a light, I was planning to look for it. I assumed that was how you got in here.

What's happening on the roof?

[ambic]

There is a dead body in the freezer. It appears to have the back of it's head caved in, and is wearing exercise equipment. There's no ID on the body, except that.... as you look, you are shocked to realise it's the body of Spiro.

[Primate]

Hm.

Take body out of freezer, search it

[ambic]

It's not carrying anything

[Talitha]

Oh grand, another murder. Another murderer.

There is nothing happening on the roof, not even Marcus.

I couldn't see how Quentin died, just that he is.

move cardboard box and peer into server room

I don't wanna go in, just see if anyone is there or has changed.

Can I come with you Charlie?

[Primate]

Yeah sure. Harry is about. Last I saw he was going to talk to the VCS down the vent.

[ambic]

The server room is empty

[Talitha]

read the dossier that I have

[Primate]

Examine Cupboard of Confiscation

[Primate]

"hm"

"I've been thinking about this and my explanations are tenuous."

"I don't feel this is an alien bodysnatcher thing"

[Talitha]

The body in the freezer? Neither....

Quentin gave me a dossier about a body that was in the boot (frunk?) of the Tesla. I wonder if it is the same body.

(I am kicking myself for dropping the Tesla keys, for bringing the generator to the UFO, ETC.)

[Primate]

"We weren't to know, I unlocked it in the hope the demon would get michigan out. Massive fuckup. And I assumed the tesla was undrivable also."

"And that makes sense. Miyagi told me they found a body there and they would probably store it somewhere cold."

"What does the dossier say about the victim? Does it give a cause of death or any indication as to who it might be?"

[ambic]

The cupboard of confiscation is currently empty.

[Primate]

Ok, lets try this then

Use light down manhole, Jump Down Manhole if it doesn't seem like if it's an infinitely dark pit

[Talitha]

The dossier says that a dead body was discovered in the Tesla boot, cleaned up and moved to the safe location in the mall. A hearse will be sent to collect the body, after the police have checked it out. It will be in the lost and found office.
The dossier does appear to be referring to the body of Spiro. It seems he died before you even arrived here, whatever that means

[Talitha]

Uhhh... so if we see Spiro it's not really Spiro?

jump down manhole

[ambic]

You both stand in the dark and walk along. Climb back out whenever you want.

The manhole leads away down to an area that seems to be above the railway tracks. You hear a muffled voice saying "Password" in a stately voice, and "Never Fold Two And Seven" from what sounds like an older man. Then the first voices repeats "Enter friend".

The manhole does not seem to lead anywhere. You can stay listening if you like.
