The computer is fine now, getting going again after the better part of a full week without the laptop has been tough. Thanks. :)

I'm writing my post at long last right now.

The animals are front and center, Night. Let's do this!

Good to have you back, Vicky. :)

Read and post later today. School is kicking me in the bum.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Happy Halloween and posting presently. Saturday classes are the worst.

They really are...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't a lab that is working with anthrax have heightened security requirements? Locking doors and specimen cases? Alarm systems? Clean rooms? Guards? Certainly the lab would have to be a stand alone for ventilation and I doubt lower classes or even undergrads would be doing research involving anthrax. Right?

Undergraduates certainly wouldn't, but it's already established that post-graduates also study and research in the same spaces (this isn't entirely uncommon here in the states, I'm uncertain about the UK). Since we haven't actually seen the other lab at all, any requirement for anthrax research could be in place.

It seems likely that there would be restricted access to the lab, or the part of the lab, with anthrax, yes.

Safety and security standards are sometimes not all they're cracked up to be, though. Remember those Greenpeace activists who walked into a nuclear plant a few years back? And the 85 year old nun who got into a nuclear weapons plant? Those two cases were infamous for how easy it was to get in.

How are you feeling, Night?

I have a post ready but it's going to result in combat inevitably which is roll heavy. Night, you're still with us, right?

yes just not sure your in a combat inevitability.

It's almost certain. I just am trying to leave my NPC actions somewhat open ended so you can take over when you want.

I'll try to update tomorrow, I had jury duty on Friday and my asthmatic lungs are still recovering from the strain.

Jeez I'm sorry. You should just get rest. It sounds like you were there awhile?

That sounds horrible.  I was planning to wait until you post since we've posted without you a while and Vicky is back in. I'll still wait.

I was waiting for you to collect another 2 clues and bring things back to the investigation but oh well.

Well, we are going to Eileen's next. Won't there be clue collecting there?

Night, for the animals?

I thought with finding perpetrators, we'd be able to progress the animal storyline. I didn't mean to trample on more clues in the sense that finding them were the clues. And bringing in the supernatural threat.

I also rolled 3 successes on my roll to identify the powder left by the perp, which is an exceptional success for me.

At any rate, I think we have at least...two clues, and a variety of elements?

That's true. Vicky chemistried like a bose :)

I'm writing a post right now, but it's been a long weekend, so it'll take a few moments for me to do. :)

Absolutely beat at the moment, I'll update in the morning I hope.

We must always take care of ourselves first. Do not worry :)

Busy with school but I should have a post up no later than tomorrow if not later tonight.
