Terezi ponders this while munching a croissant.

[Florien]

Come on, find Snap's killer and tip the police! Hurry along now, it could be any of you! I don't want someone who gets caught being a spy, and you don't want someone who killed one of your friends to walk out, do you?

[Subparman]

Really? Kaikoku, who was already at the crime scene for some reason, raises an eyebrow in amusement upon seeing the report. And I thought this one was responsible for his own death. What were our masked missy and the Cookie doing out at night, if I may ask?

...Then again, it's not as if they convict the victim for his own murder. Maybe there's more to this case than he initially thought.

>Does the window show any signs of being disturbed past the initial breaking-in attempt?

Window Disturbance? [6]: If anyone went through after Snap, they did a very good job of leaving exactly no trace.

[Magolor]

Sorry for forgetting about this—I've been busy then forgot!!!!

Hoo boy I'm really sorry though; here's Lynne's next action.

If this bar really was pried out... then she shall

>attempt to determine what tool was used to pry it!

[Florien]

[10]: You decide to test via experiment, and systematically pry out every single bar with various tools you find lying around. You decide that it could have been any tool really, or maybe even no tool. The bars are generally fairly loose, and are mostly for show. Also you have an enormous pile of pried out bars and people staring at you.

[artsyGeek]

Scott is . . Also now at the scene. Just. . > Investigating the chalk dust, I suppose.

[Kennifer]

>Try and figure out if Snap COULD have killed himself with the bar or if it was definitely someone else doing the deed

[Florien]

Oh, and in further evidence that you people are really struggling to achieve anything other than chaos and destruction... we finally tracked down that cookie you had with you briefly. They tried to flee the nine blocks, so instant fail there... then they crashed into an electric substation and got fried. Turns out water-suited eyes aren't great for seeing in air. Calamari jokes aside, the power outage is on the other end of town. Your relays weren't affected.

Chalk dust? [6]: It's from Snap. What else is there to know?

Could snap have done it? [5]: Well, there's nothing that says that he couldn't have.

[wingedcatgirl]

"Was the cookie desperate enough to escape to murder Snap and then try to flee when it seemed like people might be onto them...?

"I don't know how much sense that makes, but we can at least rule it out surely..."

>Search for evidence to either confirm or exclude the possibility of Squid Ink Cookie being Snap's killer

[Florien]

[9]: Squid Ink cookie disappeared two days ago, long before Snap was killed. It's probably safe to assume they deserted then, and that they didn't murder Snap.

[The Map Maker]

>Determine how hard would it be for the killer to bash someone's head in while lowering their own height.

[artsyGeek]

> . . investigate Snap's body again - See if there's any clue the file had somehow missed

[Florien]

Altered height? [6]: Well, people use hammers while kneeling all the time. All that matters is how fast the striking part swings. So theoretically it wouldn't be too difficult. In practice, most people probably wouldn't think of doing that in the middle of ambushing someone though.

Look for things the CSI team missed: You don't need to roll to know that the CSI and autopsy report are not lying, nor did they miss any evidence that is at the main crime scene. It's up to you to assemble that evidence, or think of clever ways to test that evidence.

[wingedcatgirl]

"So our culprit is either B-Sha or someone very dedicated to framing her."

>Search the crime scene for evidence of a third person, other than B-Sha and Snap

[wingedcatgirl]

"The CSIs found all the evidence, we don't need to do that.

"Oh. Hm. ..."

[The Map Maker]

>Try to find out if B-Sha has an alibi or not.

[Kennifer]

[Florien]

Alibi? [?]: You can't think of a way to get an alibi for B-Sha other than asking her directly.

Evidence of a third person? [?]: Well, there's nothing that specifically says that certain individuals were at the crime scene, but through some careful thinking, you decide that there probably wasn't a third person.

[Kennifer]

[Florien]

Just a reminder, agents. The day after this is the deadline. If you haven't decided who killed Snap and tipped off anyone who you might want to know that, I will graduate any surviving individuals involved in that. Seven of you are still active in the region.

Evening is descending. Night starts at 8 PM pacific on Friday. (20 hours from now.) 105 hours after that, the final day starts. Be Ready.

[Zanreo]

B-Sha then arrived... oh crap, and now she was a suspect? "I can tell you I wasn't doing anything at night! Aside from sleeping! In fact, I might have slept in a bit... still tired" she says and lets out a small yawn.

[Kennifer]

Terezi is gonna....

>Try to smell any chalk dust on B-Sha
