[Good morning again. It's Friday, and you know what that means.

Maybe people should start looking to see if anyone's taken Kyuubey at face value.]

[He's being called over what -]

[Okay. Let's take a look at those burns. Do they look shallow on the skin, or more severe burns?]

[strangerpeople]

[Very severe.]

[katzenpfote]

[What's the pattern of burns like, or is it all a single strip?]

[strangerpeople]

[A single strip..]

[katzenpfote]

[... Hey now. He looks at his wrist screen. The laser bat is missing?]

[Shit, he has no idea. McBurn's already fucked off, who would know about lasers?]

[... Ah.]

Karma? Can you come here a moment?

[comesaround]

...Yeah? What's up?

[ He's got a second to spare, so he comes over, curious. ]

[katzenpfote]

Would something called a 'laser bat' do something like this?

[He points to the burns.]

[comesaround]

[ He goes to look at it with a small hum. ]

Actually that would be my guess. It looks consistent with what a laser bat could do, though I've never seen it in action.

[katzenpfote]

Danke, lasers are not something I am familiar with.

[comesaround]

No problem. Just glad I could help.
