Project 863 - The Mystery

~Chapter 62~

The group had been standing in the lobby area of blue base watching Matthias say something about future Matthias as River, Sam, and Woods all got confused before chuckling as everyone went outside to Matthias's car to get the stuff they got from Location Seven. "It's time," Matthias spoke looking at the camera as Woods decided to add to what Matthias was talking about. "We stole it," Woods explained as River forced back a laugh as Matthias quickly looked at Woods before speaking. "Don't say that on camera allegedly we took it," Matthias told as River decided to join in with the conversation as she looked at the two. "Someone gave it to us." She spoke as Matthias agreed with her as he added to her statement, "Someone gave it to us and we ordered it from Amazon." Matthias explained as Sam chuckled adding to the entire thing as she stood there. "Oh yeah we ran into a former Syntec employee on the way out and they're like oh cool Project 863, you're good, take it." Sam added as River started laughing while Matthias spoke as he looked at Sam, "We have identical things. No, we found this in the abandoned Syntec location." Matthias explained taking out the container with the DNA of himself and River.

Woods had decided to carry the container as Matthias looked at him before speaking as he looked at Woods, "You're gonna catch a disease-carrying that." Matthias spoke looking at Woods as River and Sam looked at him confused as Sam spoke back to him. "From your and River's DNA?" Sam asked confused as River decided to take the container from Woods this time to let him get the locker out of the trunk they teased how strong Woods was to carry the locker as they started a barkforwoods meme which made River laugh as they began to take it back into the orange studio as they saw Alex, one of their new workers as they questioned about Bailey not being there but figured she would be back soon as Matthias joked about how it wasn't heavy locker for him before explaining the locker to the camera as he showed the top lock to everyone before seeing something as he spoke. "What we got here is a couple of master locks, with the combination on the back," Matthias spoke before laughing which made everyone realize they could have unlocked it at the location which made River put her hand on her head as she laughed.

"They probably changed it because they have to do that," Woods spoke as River agreed with him Matthias spoke looking at Woods. "Let's see. You guys have ever been to high school?" Matthias asked as he began to unlock it Sam responded to him. "Yep, blocked it all out," Sam spoke as River chuckled while Alex joined them before she spoke. "Are these like employee lockers?" Alex asked as Matthias shrugged his shoulders before they explained the different lockers and stuff they found at Syntec location seven before asking Alex if she wanted to join. Once Matthias put the code in the lock came unlocked as they found stuff inside the first locker spot before finding an April Jonson ID. They were also able to find a ring as everyone got confused before finding the keys to something, when Matthias had found sunglasses he decided to make another character called over kiss as River started laughing while she sat there watching him. They decided to check the next locker seeing that it doesn't open with the code from April's as Matthias tried using the lock cutters. 

They ended up not working as Matthias tried pulling on the lock hard before it opened which made everyone completely shocked. "Wait, you are super strong," Alex spoke as River laughed hearing that reaction, they ended up getting distracted by Mike for a moment before opening the locker as they found two more keys, more rings, and a monthly planner from 2012 as Matthias began to read it. They were able to figure out that it was a monthly planner with the name inside to be Autumn Hill as it contained addresses and stuff he read her document as Bailey came in to join the others River smiled seeing Bailey as the female explained how her car had been broken into as Sam gave Bailey her lav as they brought up her to speed. In the monthly planner, they saw Autumn Hill's schedule as he read off her schedule before finding the word peppermint Sam explained how peppermint was the good code for the spire and hazelnut code. They continued searching the locker before finding a red raincoat as Matthias tried to be strong with it but instead the code worked since they didn't reset it before finding Ibuprofen, a name tag for Scott Clarick, cigarettes, a scarf, keys, and a DVD.

"Anyone curious?" Matthias asked holding up the disk before Woods suggested looking under the locker as Matthias checked before pulling out vitals. "Clear Life's Blood." Matthias read as he handed it to Woods letting him read it. "Life's Blood EMS V1.2 Designed exclusively for use with EMS Device by Syntec Corporation. Do not Ingest." Woods read as River looked at it over his shoulder as she had been sitting beside him. Matthias looked at the vital once again as he read the warning part of it as he spoke, "Splinter warning: The following substance is volatile and should only be used under the direct supervision of a trained professional." Matthias read as he looked at the group like something clicked in his head as he spoke. "Do you guys know what this means?" Matthias asked looking at them as they got confused before River was able to figure out what he was able to figure out as she spoke. "That was how Deb was killed. So the EMS device can splinter." River explained to Matthias as he continued with what River said. 

"Scott not only has the opportunity because he had the keys to Deb's apartment but now he also has the means, he had the means to splinter her. I don't know how that would happen but that EMS device that he had in his possession, this which was in his possession that works with that can splinter Deb and he had access to do it with the key." Matthias explained as Sam nodded looking at him as she responded to him. "Yeah no it's not making him look good right now," Sam explained as River agreed with her as she spoke. "There are two pieces of the puzzle here, he's not looking too good right now is he?" River asked looking at them as they shook their heads Matthias looked at the DVD before he spoke. "We still don't have a motive, maybe there's a motive on that DVD and this is what he's been hiding. Let's go look." Matthias explained before going to the blue base mega desk as everyone went to sit down to watch the DVD. They were able to find a video that showed Scott walking into the room they had been at with a lab coat before seeing what looked like Sam and Woods walking in.

"Something you want to tell me?" Matthias asked looking at them as they were able to confirm that it was Sam and Woods inside the room everyone was confused. Sam tried saying that it didn't happen as Matthias got confused about when they saw Scott and when they went there Sam tried arguing that they hadn't been there before and them going together to visit the location was the first time they had been there as River sat there surprised. They decided to continue watching as Woods explained how he doesn't wear joggers before deciding to start over the video to see if anything is said. "Who wants to go first?" Scott asked the two in the video as Woods looked at Scott in the video before responding to him. "Sam does," Woods explained which made River and Matthias shocked how Woods volunteered Sam to go first in the video as he continued to play the video. "Uhh okay," Sam responded in the video as Scott looked at Sam before he begin to speak, "Go ahead and just have a seat," Scott explained as Sam walked towards the medical bed as she looked at it in the video before speaking. "Just on this? What does this even do?" Sam asked curiously as they continued watching Scott draw some blood from Sam. 

"Hey now is it gonna hurt?" Sam asked Scott in the video as Scott stood there as he began to stutter, "Ummm... Uhhh... I don't know. Yes, would be my guess." Scott explained to her before they watched Scott making sure that Sam's head was in the clamp being injecting something in her arm which caused Sam to scream in pain River jumped being surprised about it as she sat there speechless as the video continued watching Sam get out of the medical bed sitting in a nearby chair as Woods sat down in the medical bed in the video before he spoke to Sam. "You did not make that look comforting," Woods spoke in the video which made Matthias chuckle trying to ease up the emotions in the room as they watched Scott explain to Sam how she shouldn't be surprised about another wave of pain to come. Everyone in the room watched as Woods was injected with the same thing Sam was injected with River felt uncomfortable sitting there listening to this while she sat there in silence not having anything to really say about it since it was just a spooky video she had seen as Matthias talked to the camera for help as they knew Scott was along with it so they wanted to try to get into contact with Scott.
