Question

The wife of the head of police comes to your office.

Woman: Good job, Detective Dennis. You are rewarded a promotion. You are now the new head of police.

You: What?!? But there still is..?

Woman: My husband caught the "Basilisk."

You: The what?

Woman: The "Basilisk" is an uncurable, horribly contagious disease. The doctors say it's artificial, and it won't be a big problem until plenty people get the disease if the sick are seperated from the safe. Flesh contact continues it. But more and more people are getting the disease, and not one of them touched a victim. Obviously there is someone behind this mess. (she looks at you in the eye) I need you to clear this up. You've been in big messes before, correct?

You: As of the promotion, I can't accept. I'm too curious and reckless. I can, though, investigate this disease.

Woman: Thank you. I have a friend who you can talk to. His name is Mark Slovenk. My name is Minerva Smith, Bartimor Smith's wife.

To make it easier, I'll list all the names so far.

-Bartimor Smith. Ex-head of police. Has Basilisk. Victim

-Minerva Smith. Wife of Bartimor Smith. Witness

-Mark Slovenk. Minerva Smith's friend. Witness or Suspect

Can we hire 1/2 dozen sniffer chickens?

Try to use them to detect if those in quarantine are infected

Once you have completely examined the diary put the cover on a new one pretend the diary is yours and write your notes in it also bring the chickens to each of the interviews. Note how the suspects and the chickens react in diary

2. Serum? W-what serum?

To Basil: Good so you know Luthess then, what is the nature of your relationship with him?

How about Sargh?

Ask about his records and if you can have access to them?

To Sarah: (also use diary)Ask about possible cures for Basilisk

Ask about relationships with Luthess and introduce to Dr Basil in the same manner, apologise for you memory-loss

and complain that you must be coming down with something.

To Luther: you seem to have an infestation of chickens under your house can we call someone to eradicate them? they especially seem to like your bedroom. Do you have some chickenfeed? "accidentally" leave two of the chickens behind at Luthers place

Can we legally bug Basil and Luthers place? how about putting a wire on chickens?

Luther: Who was that friend you were talking about earlier? Are you sure that you are not hiding anything that could be of use to help Bart?

What is your relationship with Sarah and be honest?

Minerva and Bart: Did you make any changes in your will recently?

Luther: 1. Er.. none of your business. 2. N-no, I'm not. 3. Sarah is my rival from college. Our last fight got us both deep scars physically and emotionally. I told Sarah's boyfriend that Sarah was cheating on him, which she wasn't. At about the same time, Sarah told my mom that I was taking drugs, which I wasn't. Sarah's boyfriend broke up with her and never looked at her again, calling her things she's never dreamed about. Meanwhile, my mom kicked me out of the house, and I was left to live in the streets. We met in the street and started beating each other up. It was.. horrible.

Minerva: No, not really. Why do you ask?

Bart: Yes. That the Basilisk may be stopped.

Dr. Basil: Are you the namesake of Basilisk? Don't birds like the eat even venomous snakes?

Dr. Basil: 1. (smiling) No, but now that I realize, it actually is. Unintentionally, I'm guessing.

(He actually is, but only because I thought it would be cool to name the doctor after a deadly disease. ^_^)

Dr. Basil: 2. Some big birds, as a matter of fact, do eat small snakes. I am not sure about venomous, however.

Read the diary. It may have very important information.

Can we ban Basil from all syringes? or at least from patients. NO ONE should be going to see him.

Luther's Diary: You flip to today's entry.

December 15, 2010. Today has been a disaster. The detective keeps asking about the shot Basil gave to Bart. I mean, what does he care about liquid titanium carbide? Especially if it enhances the strength of human beings?.. Okay, so it's only a theory, but it can be proven, but somehow it stimulated a virus within us that is causing..

The rest has been smudged out.

You have banned Basil from patients and confiscated all of his syringes. You can do anything with the syringes.

Well... obviously test all the serums in the syringes.

Research liquid titanium carbide and its effects on the human body.

What are all the symptoms of the Basilisk again?

What are all the symptoms of the Basilisk again?

You test the serums. One of them is unidentified. No, more... seven. The rest are indeed varying flu shots.

Liquid titanium carbide (I completely made this up) is molten titanium carbide, and is known to be almost impossible to create, mostly because titanium carbide is a very strong material. Scientists have yet to discover its effects on the human body. The most ridiculous theory is of the Baton of Asclepius, a special medical wing in the government known to have created wild and illogical theories that have never failed to be incorrect. The Baton of Asclepius, or the BOA, appear to indicate that...

The website reloads on its own. The article now says:

Liquid titanium carbide is molten titanium carbide, and is known to be almost impossible to create, mostly because titanium carbide is a very strong material. Scientists have yet to discover its effects on the human body. [This section has been removed by the Pentagon. We apologize for the inconvenience.]

When you are infected, it takes a full week for the victim to show signs of it. There is no way of detecting it beforehand. After a week, you collapse, at which point you grow contageous. After a month, you die, but if the disease gets in your bloodstream, not just your skin, you will die in less than a week.

It's been a week since Minerva's request. You find out that Bart - has died.

Okay! Wow.... Well go to luther and ask what kind of government contact he has ever had.....

Where did you acquire the titanium carbide?

How was it created?

What is the BOA?

What do you know about this facility? If he trails off without an answer or is acting suspicious, pull out the taser as a threat. (Sorry, I'm just having fun with the whole "I'm a really cool detective" thing)

Order special watch for him.

Contact and research the BOA. If contact is possible, tell us.

Try to discover the molecular bonding of the liquid carbide. test the unknown serums for this bond. Confiscate all of this serum from nearest hospital or private doctor facilities. (Can we do that?)

Luther: 1. Er.. none... I don't know what you're talking about. 2. Titanium carbide? What? 3. I honestly don't know what you're talking about... 4. (with a look of confidence) The BOA is a genius group who has the most logical and explanatory theories. It's a shame that other people think it's rubbish. I mean, really. 5. I just answered your question.

Do you want to threaten Luther with a taser and reask all of the question?

Special watch is appointed.

You cannot find any evidence of the BOA. Not even an official website.

Alright. Since I didn't study chemistry yet and don't know much about bondings, let's call it A. You compare A with the unidentified serums. It is the same material. You do. In fact, you go ahead and take it from all hospitals.

Ask Sarah (other doctor, is that her name? Sorry, I'm really tired)

What is the BOA?

Do you know of any form of contact with them?

Have you ever contacted them through any form of communication?

Add this to Luther's reasked and taser threatening list:

Do you know how to contact the BOA?

When were you part of this organization?

Dr. Basil refuses to answer first, but does once he sees the tasers pointing at multiple places around his body.

Dr. Basil: 1. The BOA is a group who wishes nothing but to give power to humankind. 2. (angrily) None, you took them all away, remember?

Sarah: 1. (sniggers) BOA? Silliest little wing in the government. Can't believe they didn't get rid of them yet. 2. No, I don't know anyone from the BOA. 3. No.

Luther: 1. Government... You mean the BOA, don't you? No, not myself.. But... Mark has! (look of regret) 2. Er... We got it from.. Mark! (look of regret again) We got it from Mark. 3. Mark fused carbon and titanium, then he melted it in high temperature. You kind of guessed it, though, right? 4. Genius group, they are. Every theory correct. 5. Er... If I blurt out the plan, I'd get killed... (you poke his arm with the taser) HOLY CRAP!!! OKAY, OKAY, I'LL ANSWER!! (you remove the taser, he pants a little) Alright, Ba.. I mean, Mark wanted me to do the government a chore. He wanted me to give a serum to Dr... Sarah and tell her to inject it into people. That's all I know. 6. Yeah, well, you'll have to ask M-Mark to do it, and I doubt he'll do it for you. 7. I-I was n-never part of the B-BOA.

Remember your tools. You have a pistol (for your defense), contacts book, (you automatically earn a contact and what you know so far when you meet someone new... You can always check it by asking for it), a police squad (you can request to take them with you; they're mostly for dangerous areas, watching people, or enforcement), a fingerprint watchamacallit(for mysterious objects), a lie detector(if you're not sure about someone's evidence; usually accurate), a professional medical crew(for identifying way of death), and your own classic Sherlock Holmes magnifying glass(to look professional :lol: ). Also, you're very buff. (you can do the majority of the things humans can do)

Is it possible to retro ask these questions with the lie detector?

Also, have the police crew keep Surveillance on Mark, Sarah, Basil, and put Luther into protective custody. Have them report if anything odd or out of place is happening.

Using the Lie Detector:

Ask Mark and Basil (in seperate rooms) about the liquid titanium carbide, and why they ordered Luther to give it to Sarah to inject into people.

Talk to Luther:

Luther, we really need your help in solving this crime. If you do not help countless more people are going to die, are you willing to live with the fact that you had a hand in helping kill all of those innocent people? (While doing this, have the taser put away.)

Yes.

Sure, they will be in protective custody.

Lie detector results in blue.

Mark: 1. W-what are you talking about? 2. W-what?

It says Mark is not lying.

Dr. Basil: 1. W-what? 2. S-Sarah? Oh.. yes.. of course. I don't know.

Luther's answer seems false, but it may be from the panic caused by his very rough arrival. You may question again later.

Luther: 1. ...very well. I will tell you everything. Just.. let me recollect.

I'm sorry, I thought I already answered yours. I'll answer it right now. :blush:

I can guess what "sniffer chickens" are, so here goes.

No one in quarantine is infected except for the ones who we know are infected.

Chicken description in orange.

No one seems to care when they see your diary with the new cover. Chickens start yapping very, very loudly.

Dr. Basil: *Luthess is Sarah's nickname for Luther, and vice versaw for Sargh, so I'll ignore the first two questions, if that's okay.* 1. You already saw my records, it's fine. But you can look at them again, if you want. Chickens start rotating around Dr. Basil.

Sarah: 1. No. There is not. We hope to find one, though. 2. Ah, Dr. Basil. (pleasant conversation, nothing important) Chickens don't do much.

Luther: 1. W-what? Uh.. sure... I never knew I had chickens here. How did you know the chickens liked his bedroom? :huh: You leave two bugged chickens in his house.

You bug Dr. Basil's place.

Luther: Sigh... I guess I must tell you. However, I won't live very long, so I'll have a very short time telling you what happened.

The BOA and I have a theory that titanium chloride in liquid form can enhance the human strength. Strangely, it seems to trigger a deadly virus, now known as the Basilisk. Chickens depend on this virus. There is one cure... It is... *cough*

Luther collapses. You try to find a cure to save him, but he has the Basilisk. Luther croaks, "Chicken...noise...ampli..."

Luther is dead.
