...

Been a while since Marco has sent me any of his meaningful texts.

Was actually starting to wonder if his body was going to be one of the ones cropping up on the Eluvio.

[Tactful.]

[canadese]

[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...]
