[Delta Green] Operas and Avatars: Tapeworm

[Gomez]

OOC: Just to make sure there is no understanding. The truck registration is out of date and 24 years old.

"Well Marcus, it seems we have three courses of action. The first is to get you some medical attention when the paramedics arrive along with the police. We also should find out what is on these disks that those men wanted so badly. The third is to make sure someone investigates that P.O. box both men are registered too."

Jonathan pauses. "Say, you said you were involved in a case regarding this John Doe, right? Dr. Hardiman said she found an abnormally large parasite in her examination of the body. How is the John Doe related to these two men? Could these two men have been exposed to a similar environment as the John Doe? Could they also carry similar parasites?"

[Sry - thought the guy was a possible lead]

"The John Doe was one of a group of suspected drug dealers involved in deal that went sour, fast. You probably can guess what happened, based on what we saw today. The owner of the nightclub where it happened saw ununsual tattoos on several of their arms, which looks to be the case with our assailants. Dr. Hardiman hoped I had some additional information, based on the strangeness of what she found inside the guy. I'm afraid all we have is right here with us. Minus one medical examiner.

I guess we can notify the Post Office about the Box. I don't know if they'd be willing to reeal the owner's contact information without a warrant to back it up, but if I'm OK to travel that avenue sounds best."

OOC: The keys on the computer desk - do they seem made for a house door, car ignition, or a filing cabinet/padlock?

OOC: They appear to be a set of car and house keys.

The police and paramedics arrive at the scene. The police get your statements and the paramedics see to Marcus' gunshoot wound. Both vics are pronounced dead at the scene.

Can I call the post office to find out information about the PO Box holder?

 

[Gomez]

You call the post office. The post office box belongs to an Amela Townsend of Singers Glen, Virginia. (That is about 4 miles north of Harrisonburg) The person at the post office gives you the address and phone number on file.

Jonathan returns the keys to Marcus. "Marcus, I don't know if our paths separate here. If possible, I would like to see what is on those disks those men recovered. If it is serious enough to warrant kidnapping and attempted murder, I would like to go with you on your investigation. I don't know what we are up against or the nature of the parasite, but if more people are infected or risk infection, this could be a serious matter for us all. If we could take a few minutes to look at those computer disks of Dr. Hardiman and let me gauge any potential infectious threat, we might have a better understanding of what drove those men to do what they did and if you need my assistance any more."

"That's not a bad idea at all, especially since the parasite is out there.

Where should I take you?"
