Brian Dennis struggled in the safe. He squirmed and squiggled in the ropes. But there was no way for him to get out.

...

Somewhere in Vietnam, a soldier was being sent back to America after the war. David Dennis was a brave man, much like his brother. You will be him for this mystery. Your goal? Rescue Brian, and try not to catch the ongoing Basilisk.

The President calls you up and explains what happened in the last installment.

President: Detective Dennis disappeared when searching for the safe entrance to the Phoenix base. My team searched for this entrance. The old entrance was clogged up, which means that the entrance has been moved to somewhere else. Unfortunately, there were spies from the Phoenix gang. Fortunately, we caught all of them. Their names are Narcissus, Vito, and Melnius, also known as Melly. You may interview any one of them. You can also ask for their background info from the police, being the detective's brother.

Alright, time to save the detective!

[MissKitten]

Yay! Wait, i thought narcissus was a good guy!

Anyway, get background checks done on all of them. And ask them:

What do yiu know about the phoenix? How did it survibe? Why is it inflicting people with the basilisk?

If they ont talk pull out your taser very slowly and examinit. If they still nt talk touck them in the placetbat it counts.

You still have a taser right? If not aquire ine from the polkce first then dothe above. If you cant gt a taser just do the above minus the last two sentences.

[MissKitten]

sorry about the horrible instructions above, was posting from a nook. here are clearer ones:

Get background checks done on all of them. then ask them:

1. What do you know about the Phoenix/BOA?

2. How did it survive?

3. Why is it inflicting people with the Basilisk?

4. What is it gaining by inflicting people with the Basilisk?

We still have a taser, right? If not, acquire one from the police or the president.

Do this next part only if you have a taser. If they dont answer, slowly pull out your taser and examine it. If they still dont answer, lightly poke them with it in the arm.

Narcissus seemed like a good guy, but he distracted the boss (I forget his name) because he was trying to warn him that Brian was coming. Sadly, he is still working for the Phoenix. What's a placetbat? Unless you were saying, "Touch them in the place it counts." I can only guess where the place is, but if it's painful, I LIKE IT!

Narcissus, age 20, tattoos of bloody hands all over his body. He has white hair. No parents.

Narcissus: 1. Nothin', man, I'm just doing my job. It was good money. I'm broke, you know. Living in them slums. 2. Bossman has a son, Lil' Phil. He's in charge now. 3. I dunno, man. (looks at his feet, then looks around) Where the *CENSORED* am I, anyway? Uh, isn't the detective dude in the safe or somethin'?

Vito, age 10, tattoos of bloody heads all over his body. He also has white hair. Lil' Phil's son.

Vito: 1. What the *CENSORED* are you doing, man?!? Let me out! (you take out the taser, examine it, turn it on, and ask the question again) Whoa, easy, man! That ain't no toy! (you wave it in his face) ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT! I dunno what my daddy wants. (lip quivers) I'm just doing my job! 2. My granddaddy passed the leadership to my daddy. He's boss now. 3. Revenge. I'm guessing now, alright? That detective guy made my granddaddy feel bad, so now they're trying to kill him.

Melnius Suinlem, age 35, tattoos of bloody legs all over his body. He too has white hair. Claims to be police officer Gerald Suinlem' son. Stutters a lot or is very nervous during the interview.

Melnius: 1. Dude! I-I didn't do anything wrong, did I-I? I-I-I mean, there i-isn't anything the Phoenix i-is doing wrong? E-excuse me? (you take out tazer) Sorry! Uh, don't taze me please! Oh, L-Lord, what have I-I gotten myself i-into? I-I don't know what my boss wants to do, l-lieutenant!. Please, I-I didn't mean to! 2. I-I don't know that e-either! 3. Man, I-I dunno that! I-I'm not the e-effing boss! E-eh, l-look here, my daddy is gonna get you!

LOTS of hints and clues in there.

1. Observe the stutter

2. Tattoos

3. Hair

[Vipe195]

Ask them...

1.Why have they suvived the basilisk?

2.Where the safe is?

3.Whats up with their hair?

Use the same tactics as Miss Kitten.

[Cavenglok]

Narcissus: 1. No idea. Boss's idea. 2. Why would I tell you that? The game would be too easy. (even the tazer didn't do squat; he won't say anything) 3. Dyed it. For the new game Boss is playing with you.

Vito: 1. I dunno, man. As I said, revenge. I'm guessing. 2. I dunno, we meet on one street, they blindfold us, and next thing we know we're in the base. 3. Dyed it. Dunno why.

Melnius: 1. Like in hell I would tell you! (You: Then Hell you will get. But no torture makes him talk. These guys are tough!) 2. (what Vito said) 3. We're supposed to resemble the victims after a year.

NEWS FLASH

Victims of the Basilisk are now surviving for more than a month, allowing doctors more time to figure out the cure to the poisonous titanium oxide. However, the victims seem to go through more and more pain as time passes by.

REPORT ON MISSING DETECTIVE

The missing legendary Detective Dennis' disappearance may be connected to the starting of this crisis. His brother, Lieutenant David Dennis, is held for questioning August 18, 2010.

MYSTERIOUS SAFES FOUND IN LOCAL ALLEYS

All sorts of safes have appeared in alleys mysteriously. They each seem to have a different code. The odd thing is that none of the alleys in which the safes are located seem to have gone through construction. In fact, they just appeared.

[Vipe195]

Gather all the safes and find someone who knew what the original safe looked like and have them tell you which one it is.

[MissKitten]

sorry about the crappy instructions, i believe I posted better ones a little later.

hmmm, ask the third guy with a lie detector why he's so nervous. Ask him all the questions again.

ask everyone: what up with the tattoos? Again, use the taser (can you get a stronger one?). And in seperate rooms too. And if you can, maybe ask again with a lie detector.

Police officer Smith was in Detective Dennis' police squad when they infiltrated the Phoenix's base. He is more than willing to help Detective Dennis.

All the safes are in the walls, so you had to take him around to investigate the walls. He said none of them matched.

Lie detector results in blue.

Melnius: 1. Nervous? Why would I-I be nervous? Should I-I be nervous? By the way, your l-l-looking around i-is just giving my boss more time to e-exterminate all of you! Ha! No signs of him being nervous. At all.

Vito, Narcissus, Melnius, with a strange milky, mystic look:

When the world is full of dread,

I will summon the undead.

Arm, leg, chest and head

will keep the once alive regret.

When the swarm is finally done,

7-8-9, quarter to one,

at a place where the bird was hung,

One shall leave, one shall shun.

Strangely, the lie detector said that the bodies were not alive during this prophecy.

[Vipe195]

Have a doctor surgically remove the tattoos.

If you still have the car that plays chicken noises, use it.

[Vipe195]

What year is it?

[Cavenglok]

Have a doctor surgically remove the tattoos.

If you still have the car that plays chicken noises, use it.

Doctor: Uh... Lieutenant? Um.. those aren't tattoos. They've been branded.

You have the car, but the Detective has the keys. On top, it would be very ironic if you hotwired it, seeing as you're working for legal forces...

[Cavenglok]

What year is it?

This mystery is in real time, EST. (U.S. and Canada)

[Cavenglok]

You're reading a book, minding your own business, but then a familiar face charges through the door.

You: General Kang!

General Kang: I thought I taught you soldiers well enough. (yells) Read the damn papers next time! You're called to court!

You: W-what?

General Kang lifts you, ("Ugh, gained some weight since the army days, have ya?") and hefts you to the nearest Courthouse. It's the one near the White House.

You take the vow. The plaintiff clears his throat.

Plaintiff: Where was Detective Dennis when you last saw him?

You: I-I don't know. That's why I'm looking for him.

Plaintiff: Then what information have you gotten about him?

Detective Dennis' words: Don't ever trust lawyers. Whatever you say to them, they will absorb it and turn it right back against you.

Should you tell the plaintiff? Or do you lie?

[MissKitten]

Say, "I plead the fifth."

[Cavenglok]

Say, "I plead the fifth."

You do. The plaintiff grumbles and says to the judge, "No more questions, your honor." The defendant says, "No questions, your honor." However, the look he gives you says he has a lot of questions. Personal questions.

Sure enough, he walks up to you after court and says, "Hey, David, want a drink around 7:00? Got a couple questions to ask you."

You nod and follow the police officer out of the building. General Kang will "escort" you to your home. (a.k.a. lift you and heft you all the way back home.

Your next hearing is at 5:00 later today. Your drink with the defendant is 7:00 later today. What would you like to do now?

[MissKitten]

hmmm. id say just appear for the other hearing and see what they ask before takng more actions.

[Vipe195]

No first have someone open one of the safes.

[Cavenglok]

Very well. I apologize for my tardiness. I will have both appointments in separate posts.

This time the Defendant has questions. He says, "Lieutenant, did the detective deal with any unlawful businesses, like, let's say, did he involve himself into a marijuana business?"

"Objective, your honor! He is leading the witness!"

"Sustained. You may rephrase the question."

He nods and asks:

"Was the detective involved in an illegal business?"

Next, he asks you:

"Do you know the location of the information acquired by Detective Dennis relevant to the Basilisk?"

His last question:

"Does the Detective have the Basilisk?"

How will you answer?"

[Cavenglok]

Let's say this happened before the court thingamajig.

You try many people, safecrackers, lock picks, but in the end they all say: "It's a rotation safe."

I'll upload the picture sometime later and you can try to crack the safe.

[MissKitten]

that would be nice, but im worried itll set off a chain reaction of events we dont want to set off. hmmm, ya, id say just go to the hearing and see what they ask.

[Cavenglok]

Just saying, I know I said David is coming from Vietnam. No, not the Vietnam war. After he fought in the Iraq war, he visited Vietnam, and was sent to America from there. Just making it clear.

[Cavenglok]

This is the picture of the safe. I'll be waiting for the answers to the court questions.

And I'd like to make an edit. It's a puzzle safe. Not a rotation one. I used them twice already.

Here's a riddle from the Phoenix.

Pieces fit, sixteen in all,

First in Narcissus' palm,

Take your pick, but be aware,

a thousand heads will give you stares.

Second piece, piece of cake

Head into depth of Moosehead Lake.

Enter fish, you better flee

into the airplane crash debris.

My last hint I'll give for now,

and though you won't understand how,

your dear brother, Dennis of Dread

will soon be both alive and dead.

[Vipe195]

Have someone check out moose head lake and look for a plane crash.
