Scientific Findings

Dr Monroe's Laboratory:

  • On Andy's Seeds (Stomach):
    • Fossilised seed pods, estimated to be from 10,000-30,000 BC, resemble plum cores.
    • Seeds seem "real" but don't feel physically complete, as if existing partially in another reality.
    • Microscopic analysis reveals plant cells, but their edges fold inward unnaturally.
    • Poking the cells causes unusual refraction at the edges.
  • On the Weiß Maus Drug:
    • Cells within the pill display electrical activity.
    • Composed of plant cells, but their nuclei fold inward in reverse compared to the seeds.
  • Combined Experiment: Combining seed cells with drug cells caused both to collapse into singularities.

Apartment 3: Jerry Smithson (Bullingdon Club Member)

The group have leads that taken them to a member of the Bullingdon Club to understand further their involvement with the victim

Initial Scene: Jerry and his girlfriend found unconscious in the bedroom, appearing drugged on Weiß Maus. Room darkened, and smoke began pouring out of a corner, coalescing into a shape.

Supernatural Entity Attack:

  • An invisible, 2D being was revealed using flour thrown by Imelda.
  • The creature was tall, elongated, and constantly folding in on itself.
  • Jerry was lifted off the ground, his flesh unravelled as it was being peeled off of his body (like an orange).
  • The flour coating the entity turned a deep blue, burning wherever it landed.

Ellen's Lightning Spell: Her attempt failed catastrophically, turning her left arm black and her eyes glowing purple. A massive bolt of purple lightning was unleashed, cracking through the apartment - almost killing Ellen.

Aftermath:

  • Jerry was completely destroyed by the entity.
  • Ellen had fallen unconscious from the energy of her lightning powers
  • Imelda's Hysteria: Overcome by manic laughter, she played with the pooling blood and developed a dark fascination with it. This lasted for 8 hours.
  • Sounds of sirens can be heard in the distance

Unfolding Mysteries

  • Weiß Maus Drug: Its link to plant-based cells and electrical activity ties it to Andy's seeds, but its full effects remain unclear.
  • Supernatural Entity: The folding, 2D creature may be linked to the drug or otherworldly forces.
  • Bullingdon Club's Role: The organisation continues to be a source of influence and corruption in the investigation.
