Netdoc had voted guilty, but he is now dead.

Throw him over.
As a condolense to our dear dead captain.
Besides, Nordic hasn't even offered a bribe...

OOC: *offers Mestemia a small amount of oily rags*

Incidentally, if it's theatrical fake blood, by now it should be possible to tell which it is by the colour and texture.

That, or someone could always taste it.

(If no one helps you out by tomorrow Soy, I'll pop along. I am after all the mechanic )

oily rags?
Don't think so.
YOU are supposed to fix the squeeking door...
*mumbling to self*
some mechanic, gives me oily rags to fix a squeeky door

That's where all my underwear has gone!!

I found the other half of the note from Mr Atkins' pocket; it was a page from his diary which I found after searching the bookshelves in the main salon.



I'd say it says:

I've sure I've seen this man before.
I've been watching him in the past few days.
I saw his picture in the New York Times newspaper.
He was a member of the Cuban Mafia,
and is known as the "Butcher". This man is one
of the most wanted criminals who became
the leading Suspect of a crime scene
investigation located on Manhatten Island.

So we can assume that Mr Atkins' was hung because he was on to "The Butcher", so "The Butcher" killed him.

OOC: It seems unusual to write such a complicated note to oneself, post date it and leave it in one's possession for a year. Can it have been a letter either intended or written by someone else, or a forgery? Why would "The Butcher", if your hypothesis is correct, have waited until this time and place to murder him? And if so, why did he choose hanging? A most difficult method of killing an innocent.

Indeed, what evidence do we have that the first and later deaths are connected?

Most intriguingly, why was the note torn in two? It can't have been accidental, note how it almost precisely halves the paper in two, and yet it seems to serve no purpose.

Unless, of course, I'm reading too much into too little. *smiles*

You're right, I didn't notice the date of the note.

Or someone trying to protect the same interests that "The Butcher" works for.

BTW, I was able to slip out of the boiler room when Comet left.

I'll try and steer clear of places I'm not supposed to be from now on. Although, I did find blood there ...
