THE FIRST INVESTIGATION

[Friday morning dawns. It's a surprisingly brisk day; the winds are cold outside, and the sky is dark with its lack of sky. Well, a normal sky that one would be used to, at least.

The rats can be heard scurrying to and forth, in the walls. All seems to be as normal as it can be, this morning.]

Comments

[strangerpeople]

[Well, there is, but you might want to slow down, because there's more to the clock face in Proto Man.]

[overworker]

[Alrighty then, back to the insides— what else is she able to see inside Proto Man?]

[strangerpeople]

[There's nothing else of importance inside, but it should be noted that the clock has stopped.]

[overworker]

[Hm! Is the clock face whole, or does it appear to have been broken anywhere that she can see?]

[strangerpeople]

[The clock face is whole, so she can see the time it stopped.]

[overworker]

[Oh good, well then! What time did it stop?]

[strangerpeople]

[12:02.]

[overworker]

[That seems Important. Anything else she can determine about the extent of the internal damage before she moves her attention to the outside again?]

[strangerpeople]

[Nope!]

[overworker]

[In that case, now she'll check the area around Proto Man and his body for any other items that may be related to the incident.]

[strangerpeople]

[There is something in Proto's hand as she looks.]

[overworker]

[Carefully, she'll try to open his hand so she can get a better look at it. What's in his hand?]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[A pocket watch.]

[overworker]

[Does it appear to be in good condition still?]

[strangerpeople]

[Yes. However, the clock has stopped.]

[overworker]

[...And what time does this clock read?]

[strangerpeople]

[11:08.]
