THE THIRD INVESTIGATION

[It is very early. Very, very early. It's still night, even. Most are probably still asleep.

They will not be asleep for long.

Not after the screaming suddenly starts coming from the voices outside their doors, if they are in the apartment car, in their rooms.]

Oh god oh god oh god-

[And certainly not after the big

BOOM

That suddenly rocks the train. There is screeching, moaning, and a flash of great darkness. Everyone, for a moment, is blinded by blackness. There are shouts and screams that echo, no matter where one is. Smoke and begins to fill the hall of the apartment car.

Whatever has happened-it's bad. It's very bad.

And the darkness is starting to clear up...]

[Congrats, McBurn! You just found someone's face!




And yes, it's real. This is. The skin of. someone's face. It's eyeless sockets stare back like mask.]

This is really really weird. There's no way to tell whose face it is...right...? ]

[strangerpeople]

[Actually, there is.

And McBurn can easily tell its none of the Strangers' faces. It's also not anyone McBurn would automatically recognize, like from his world.]

[otherworldlyking]

[ Hrm...

Okay. Anything else weird in here while he gets a drink? ]

[strangerpeople]

[Nope! McBurn has...found everything.

Have that drink.]
