<I have discovered another body in a corridor near the general commerce area. I have sent the remains to the medical bay for examination. I will update once they have been identified.>

[A pause.]

<And if anyone has information regarding Marco's whereabouts, I would appreciate hearing it.>

[TEXT UPDATE, forward dated to 24 hours later, 2/25 evening]

according to the lab data the remains are those of ukoku sanzo. my condolences to anyone who knew him

[He's skeptical, though. Who says the data is true?]

[fuck this guy]

<The possibility had crossed my mind. So far we have been lucky.>

[hellshot]

[Love you too, Ax.]

So far.

That aside.

What condition was the body in. Last few ones to be found weren't exactly just lying around peacefully.

[canadese]

<It was a head in a sack.>

[hellshot]

...

[Gross.]

And the rest of the body is missing?

[canadese]

<I was unable to locate it, so I assume so.>

[Someone's testy.]

[hellshot]

[Real testy. Not as if Reaper would judge him for it--he's testy, too.]

Just the same as the rest of the murders, then.

Makes you wonder how the hell they're hiding all these bodies, even on a ship as large as the Eluvio.

[It'd start to smell, he knows that much for sure.]

[canadese]

<That... is a good question.>

[It almost sounds like it hadn't occurred to him before now.]

<Some of these people had been missing for a significant amount of time before their remains were discovered, but their body parts hadn't significantly decomposed. They must be kept somewhere. Possibly they are frozen.>

[hellshot]

[Of course it's a good question. He asked it.]

Hard to mask the smell of rot on a ship. Doesn't matter how big it is. Being frozen is a possibility. But that would also mean that the culprit has access to something like a freezer, or cold storage.

Which would suggest that they're integrated into our little society here.

Isn't that a scary thought.

[Ha...]
