While nosing around the captain's quarters, you find this on the ground:



It is firm, but slightly flexible, and the silver line is a razor sharp edge. The picture is to scale.

The red dots on the silver line look like dried blood.

Well look who found the murder weapon... ;D [cough cough] I just can't shake this bird flu!

OH.MY.GOD.... I know what it is!!!!! It's part of a lock pick!!! Remember that Evan was found locked in his room? It all makes sense now. It's flexible and can be used as a weapon, but the person with lock picks also broke into the hospital and could have stolen a scalpel. Either way, the hospital burglar is the murderer.

I can buy that, but who broke into the hospital then?

I don't know. I attached an image of lock picks and I suppose it could be part of one but... it's green. And why does a lock pick need to be flexible? It seems to me that it should be the opposite.

I'm sure there are many different types and it's a possibility that some are flexible. I could be wrong of course....

[Farrell]

maybe something like this. I admit the lockpicks might be a stretch but who knows. The theory doesn't fall apart if the murder weapon isn't lockpicks, it could still be a scalpel that the burglar stole along with the virus.

I went searching for that image and the only place was a Portuguese site (selling all manner of stuff)! It looks similar.

[Farrell]

which image? the clue?

[Annie McClarabow]

Sorry. Confusing I know. I've been distracted by pain in the ass people all afternoon.

The image you found looks similar to the image Evan provided Sarah. Most lock pick images, however, look like what I put up.

What's interesting is that both your and my images look like dental tools. Anyone got a dentistry oriented clue?

[Farrell]

oh i got my image by doing a google image search with keywords "lockpick flexibile"

Who is connected to the Mainville Hotel? What events are connected to the Hotel? Was the benefit there?

Keep in mind others may have information about your secrets as well. So, while you are free to deviate from this backstory, it will probably end up making you look like a liar.

One fact you never published in your report was that the Hotel robbery was done with lockpicks, but the Barton Memorial burglar left absolutely no traces of entry or exit, whatsoever.

The Friendlyville Space Center burglary was committed by you. Using the string of other robberies as cover, you broke into the Space Center and got your next big scoop: Colonel Kyle Swiftborne's secret military operation involves sending a satellite into space to survey the bottom of Lake Mildville.

You are using your successful robbery article as leverage to get your dream job: Full time reporter for the Mainville News, or television anchor for Mainville TV. Owner Farrell Boyle is into it, you are most definitely going to get an offer next week after a flurry of interviews.

One enigma on whom you'd love to report is tech wizard Dan Poulier. He makes long sojourns across the world, claiming they are for "spiritual enlightenment." But all his coworkers whom you've interviewed say he's a shallow sleazebag, so you suspect there might be something more to his trips, especially since he semi-covertly owns the Mildville hotel.

Though I've already shared everything, here's my story.

So Dan owned the hotel so anything about info about that went with him to his grave.

[Annie McClarabow]

Only if he doesn't want to cooperate. Ghosts can play in this game.

Was anyone staying at the Hotel?

[Farrell]

He hasn't cooperated when he was alive so I doubt it he will now. He last logged in March 24 and that was to post on the river thread. His last game post was march 14.

I was staying at the hotel.
