May 25th - Final Day

[cartesio]

Final Investigation

It's Friday. It's the last day marked in your calendar. Presumably, the few without medals will leave at some point today, and the rest...you're not sure what'll happen to you, but it'll be what the Sergeant wants.

How to defy him when you have so little time left?

Whatever plan you had today, it's guaranteed it won't go like expected. Early in the morning, the ground rumble slightly, and something pops in the sky. Fireworks! One after another, blasts from firework spread through the sky. Many of the residents of Cartesio come to the street, gathering and making all the noise they can.

It's a very radical change of behavior, compared to the once peaceful demeanor they had, and then the hostile behavior showed towards the visitors, but now they're making hubbub and causing disorder. Everyone does it spontaneously, and nobody's approaching the motel at all.

At least none of the townspeople.

Not long after that started, you may hear the noise of horns and whistles from vehicles, right outside the motel. Go take a look?

[hey! a laboratory! Osomatsu is here now, after checking the other room. while Sakura's checking out the clutter, what else is there in here to investigate? how about the computers...]

[cartesio]

[ You're all so interested in computers! The monitors stay blank. It doesn't even seem like these are receiving any power. ]

[relieable]

[computers hold information, right? so Osomatsu's going through, trying to turn them on, or move the mouse, pressing keys.

...maybe he hits one.

but if they aren't receiving power... he might see if there's an outlet to plug one into?]

[cartesio]

[ The computers do not respond to abuse, Osomatsu.

More seriously, they are plugged into outlets, but...still no power? That's weird. The room's all lit up, but nothing else is operational. ]

[relieable]

[ah... he stands up straight, hands on his hips. what can he do to turn the computers on?

what else is there to investigate in this area?]

[cartesio]

[ While Sakura's got some of the clutter, Osomatsu could look at more of it. It's...mostly scientific papers, though. A lot of big, fancy brain science words.

The title of these notes - handwritten, by the way - may be of interest, though:

Radial Imaging and Personality.

...It'd help if the text following it was all as easy to comprehend, but you work with what you've got. ]

[relieable]

[more papers to collect! he lifts them up and starts looking through them.

he definitely doesn't understand a lot of this, but is there anything of interest on these papers? maybe things he can understand?]

[cartesio]

[ It's...difficult. It seems to be talking about the idea of where your personality - your sense of self - is stored in the brain?

You're looking at a lot of genetics research. ]

[relieable]

[that's... interesting. maybe he should take these with him. he hopes that won't get him into trouble. but he needs to share this with the others]

[cartesio]

[ No one to stop you! Go ahead, loot this lab. ]
