Peace Week

[mockmods]

[So, with introductions made, you're all left to your own devices for the time being. Explore, make friends, try not to go insane in your new surroundings. Maybe organize a game of that Trailseeker thing? Your time is your own.]

[You are woken every day at 7:30 AM by the same robotic voice that woke you on day one. At 11pm each night, a similar message plays reminding everyone about the start of quiet hours and dimming the lights.]

[If you want to talk to Penny, she can be found in the Security Office if she's not anywhere else in the Facility. Office hours appear to be whenever.]

Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday

((Please tag any investigation toplevels as such, and ping the mods on Plurk or discord if possible!))

[Maybe it's difficult for a normal person, but for Meredith it's... oof, actually pretty tough, this is easier when she's super powerful. She won't let that stop her, though.

yyyyy of course she will dig. With, uh, her hands. She probably should have brought a shovel with her or something.]

[mockmods]

[That's fine, it's not actually that deep. Whoever did this probably did so by just reaching through the fence, so they weren't able to dig much of a hole.]

[As Meredith uncovers it, it looks to be a few inches deep and around, easy enough to make one-handed.]

[And it doesn't take long before something shiny starts showing through the dirt.]

[SHINY! TAKE???]

[mockmods]

[OH MY GOD A SHINY ROCK]

[Which- actually is what this is, more or less? A faceted, dark crystal, small enough to fit in the palm of Meredith's hand, currently caked in a bit of dirt.]

[This?

This is...]

[THIS IS AWESOME. Her shiny crystal now!

Anything else back here to see, other than getting a few better shots of the deadly murder plant?]

[mockmods]

[Well, the crystal itself has one kind of weird thing about it.]

[A small, perfectly rectangular depression carved into one side, just about big enough for the average person's thumb.]

[windowsexplorer]

[That seems like a really great place to put her thumb, so that's exactly what she's going to do.]

[There's no physical give or anything as Meredith presses, but the crystal actually gives off a soft chime, and flashes with soft blue light.]

[And then- nothing, for a moment. The crystal pulses faintly with yellow light once... twice... three times...]

[mockmods]

[And then blinks red once with a defeated sounding chime before going dark once more.]

[If Meredith pulls her thumb back, she'll see the indentation blink the words NO SIGNAL in red letters a few times before that goes dark as well.]

[windowsexplorer]

[...ah. Her, too, little crystal. Her, too.

she pushes the dirt back into the hole and takes one more glance around before absconding with her prize.]

[Keep it secret, keep it safe, etc etc.]
