Summary

A murder mystery at Deireadh An Tuartheil, that turns out more spookier than expected.

Background

The Meet

The team met outside of Deireadh An Tuartheil and was greeted by Dr. Isabel Wirth. They were lead into the ward, which was the scene of the crime. After a request to find out if this murder was a hate crime or wasn't going to be isolated, the team starts investigating.

The Plan

The team plans to do a pile of legwork, and maybe then confront the murderer.

The Run

Asking around the hospital, the discover that the killer was described as a bland-looking human woman. Looking at the CCTV footage, which had the murderer's features obscured by a faceless system, the team discover that the murderer had brought a bouquet of red camelias. With Delphi psychometrizing the flowers, it was discovered that the murderer worked at a nearby florist's, alongside the murderer's exact facial features. After a matrix search, a name was associated with the face: Yumi Nagamine.

At the florist's, not much was to be found, aside from confirmation of what little they knew at that point.

The team then convenes at Delphi's office, preparing to do extensive searches, both mystic and digital. Through Divination, it was discovered that Yumi had undergone extensive psychoediting, enough to create an entire personality, as well as the existence of a handler. Through hunting data trails, it was discovered that Yumi Nagamine was a fabricated legal identity, with apparent cause for extreme cyberware implantation, created 3 years ago, alongside her current address. Milliam organized a cat race for Delphi's 3 cats in the mean time.

Armed with this knowledge, the team go visit Yumi at her house. Swerve then summoned an Earth spirit as astral backup, while Milliam and Dumas provide overwatch in case Yumi bolts. The team then discovered that Yumi was astrally perceiving. After some awkwardness about the banshee and unmanifested earth spirit, the team is then invited inside for tea. At this point, Delphi assenses Yumi, discovering that she is actually a cyberzombie.

Spooked, Delphi advised the rest of the team to beat feet, and they do so after a quick excuse.
