001 | day after zombies

[A slightly pale and more-than-slightly displeased Ema greets the screen. It looks like she may have had one or two or three narrow escapes from undead.]

This is a really nice way to bring us in here... Oh, it's on already--? [she clears her throat and launches in with barely a preamable.]

I'm Detective Ema Skye... I have a question. So we've pretty much taken care of those... zombie-things now, right? [she ticks off on her fingers:] Also, we heard that animals were the disease vectors, and that something called "holy magic" [she wrinkles her nose at that] can cure them.

That's all well and good...But has anyone done a real forensic investigation? We could trace this back to the source, or at least figure out how it happened... [Her displeasure seems to melt away rather quickly.] It's all part of the power of science!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[He looks a little confused about a cure. Zombies are just zombies, right?]

I don't know, should we just bash them on the head?

...I think most of them have been "bashed" already. The question of science is, how, and why, and what can we do to replicate it? Or prevent it from happening again. [The one question.]

[Skye... Huh, that sounds familiar]

Haven't you seen any zombie movies? That'll tell you all you need to know!!

[Topknot, weird outfit, jewel... Scientifically speaking, this person has at least a 60 percent chance of being a nutjob!]

That's not how science works... Movies don't have anything to do with real life.

We'd need to seal them in isolation with the best quarantine procedures we can manage, because it all happened so quickly that we don't know if exposure to the corpses will have long-term effects.

[Billy taps the side of his desk and frowns.]

But developing an antidote that could be used in the absence of any holy magic users would help, if that was possible. And an investigation of the cause is a good idea. I just don't want to see another outbreak.

Yes, of course, proper procedure would be important. [That goes without saying!] I don't want to duplicate anyone's work, either... and I don't know if anyone here does that kind of thing.

[A masked man in red and black is holding up what's left of one of the zombie rabbits.]

Ya wanna investigate this? Be my quest, lady.

[She flinches.]

W-Well, not just like that! In a proper facility, with the proper equipment.

Do you have a lab secured, Detective Skye?

[You can't begin science without tools, Ema. Also hi good you're alive.]

U-Um. [She deflates a little.]

Well, no, Mr. Wright, I'm just trying to find out about that kind of thing. Do they have them here? I'd love to get access if they do!

...Also, you of all people should just call me Ema. After all, you were the first person I ever shared a bottle of fingerprinting powder with!

Ah! Detective Skye! [ she certainly wasn't expecting this. she'd say something like 'it's great to see you' or 'how have you been' or something equally endearing, but her attuned nose detects a magic diss ] Science is good and all, but don't dismiss the almighty power of magic!

[Why, that sounds like a science diss!]

Oh, Trucy...! Mr. Wright told me you were here.

[Almighty... Well, out of respect she won't say anything but--] I'm sure those magic tricks were very nice and useful, but now that it's under control, it's time for us to figure out what's really going on. With science.

[yeah, he saw that nose-wrinkle!] Do you take issue with the Holy Light? It's already saved quite a few of you idiots.

I don't take issue with anything. Whatever it is, I'm sure it was a nice trick. [Magic is all tricks you know.] We just need to figure out how it really works and why now.

As far as I know there are two schools of Undead Thought. One is where it spreads because who cares and it's all about Bruce Campbell's boomstick? And the other is that it's a horrible disease and in the end it turns out Will Smith is a terrible person for killing all those people that were just sick.

...Y-You all really believe in these movies having to do with real life, don't you?!

D --> From what I have e%perienced here, it will most likely pass and thing will once again go back to how it was
D --> The Initiative will not stand for the majority of it's ranks being mindless
D --> Also, it 100ks like people that die here revive, so those that are killed now will most likely be fine once they've been thoroughly e%ecuted

[Okay, but...]

I'm sorry - is something wrong with your device?

[putting aside the... somewhat disturbing content for a moment.]

Detective Skye. [ A beat. ] A police detective, I assume?

[...Oh!

Well, Phoenix told her about him but here he is suddenly... still flustering a little bit. She fiddles with her glasses. And... yes. Yes, he looks way too young. Not that that's a bad thing (heh) and yet it is.]

T-That's right, Mr. Edgeworth.

[Doesn't quite know what else to say for a moment. "And we met. And I helped you with some cases. And you prosecuted my sister."--hmm, wait, does he know...?]

Um, do you know my sister Lana yet?

Seems like some dudes are already hot on the trail of the motherfucker who did it. Plus I'm not all that keen on strapping a zombie to a table in case it gets back up again.

Either way, good to meet you kid. Name's Eddie Riggs, you might have seen me dive bombing zombies and shooting lightning at them.

[For now? Eddie's just having a quiet smoke.]

[Oh.]

Well, that's what the straps are for, right? But if they already know who did it, we still should figure out how. Obviously, we need people who can [what...?] dive bomb zombies, but it's better if it just doesn't happen again period.

[She's frowning. Totally not happy with this. Her cute new kitten was one of the victims of it and that was not a fun experience.]

I... don't think you really want to investigate it that much.

Why not? It has to be done, for the sake of science! ...And to stop it from happening again!

It's nice to meet you, Ema. I'm Hilda. [It is so hard to segue from names to actual topical conversation, but she will try her best.] If you want to pick apart my charred rabbit then by all means, you can come have it.

[...Her partner doesn't take lightly to attempts on its trainer's life, really.]

Huh, so many kids...

Ah. You too, Miss Hilda... Yes, if I could collect a sample, it might be useful. Why is it charred, though? How badly burned are we talking...?
