Killers and victims, killers and victims. Three of your own have fallen prey to murderous intent last week. Your numbers keep shrinking. Azura has fallen prey to Franciscus in the same night that Olympia betrayed her friend Millium and killed Cian who wound up in the crossfire. At this rate, is there anyone you can trust?
The townspeople's anger burns hotter than ever. Wherever they go, must they live in fear of stumbling on a corpse? They can't live like this. More than ever, the visitors are being shown that they are
unwelcome.
Walking outdoors, cold looks are the norm. Shouted profanity isn't unexpected. Barely anybody is willing to still hold a conversation with any visitors.
Even within the motel, there is no feeling of safety any longer. Not only have two people died in this very place, no, now the townspeople also lost their fear of coming inside. While they don't enter private rooms, the daring among them vent their hatred of you by vandalizing the common rooms.
Cartesio has become a menacing place.
In the lobby of the motel there's a few more brochures, and
the maps have been updated once again. Don't mind that some of them have been damaged in one of the attacks on the motel.

investigation!
Anyway, he gets up early, as usual, and he heads to the pond, as usual. Time to go for a swim! But... you know... he finds a thing or two, and whenever he gets back to the motel, he sets up a little lost and found box, because why not? He doesn't get much out of it, but he doesn't lose anything from it. There's a slightly soggy teddy bear in there. Maybe someone else will get something out of it.
After that, shit, he'll hit the library and get some investigating going! He's going to look for historical documents and see if they've got a microfiche system there, because he's been ruminating on a few things and he really has to wonder...]
Investigation
Are you looking for anything specific, Gant?]

It also mentions the name of the founder: James Williams. He and a group of people traveled through the plains until they settled in this area. The document says the founder's resting place is inside a mausoleum at the local graveyard.
Finally an explanation for that mausoleum that seems so out of place.
Anything else you'd want to search, Gant?]

...oh. Turns out Cartesio is extraordinarily isolated]

Actually he thinks he has an idea, but. You know. He's not sure they're in the Matrix.
Anyway, let's see... are there any articles about shady dealings in the microfiche, just to finish things out?]

It's worth noting, though, that Robert Miller has been the only collaborator in the newspaper for a couple years already. Before him, there were other journalists, but only he is left now.

pond
...that your swimming buddy?

[he kind of... presses down on one of the arms to squeeze some of the water out.]
He's not really suited for it, though.

...want me to dry it out?

Can you guarantee it won't go up in flames...?

Delivery is extra.

[he says, sounding pretty chipper!]
And I think I can take this big boy back to the motel just fine. Maybe I can find another buddy for him.
