I've got a knife. Since we usually spend curfew together, you can grab it off me if you wake up and I don't. [ first of all, important. she picks at her gloves a little before she starts to actually think of a solution ] What about a code? Obviously you can't give it out to a lot of people, but... the ones you trust. And more than one, in case.

[dotcom]

[ it's a little odd to be pre-planning for your eventual death, but. better to be prepared, he thinks. ]

I wonder if... assigning everyone here a number, and leaving a message somewhere with that number?

[alteracion]

[ yeah it's pretty hellish for grace too but she will help regardless ]

That could work? A number's easy enough to write down anywhere, too. But would they try and erase it if they catch you doing it?

[dotcom]

[ hm... ]

I guess I'd have to put it somewhere that wouldn't be immediately noticeable.

[alteracion]

If it's on yourself, it could get mangled...

[ grell was burnt. ]

What if you do an unsent text on your phone? Then it's just a matter of opening it?

[ i sure hope none of our victims did that. ]

[dotcom]

Oh... we can try that. We already know people can use each other's phones, so you should be able to just open it.

[alteracion]

Yeah. And we haven't seen any of those destroyed yet or anything either.

[dotcom]

Although... you also bring up a good point that we haven't looked at phones.

[alteracion]

[ ....... ]

Have we been looking inside people's clothes at all?

[dotcom]

... well.

That's something else to keep in mind.

[alteracion]

Greed was right. We're terrible at this.

[dotcom]

[ he rubs his temple. ]

We will have to learn to not be terrible.

[alteracion]

I hope we can do it, but... how long can we keep going like this?

[ people keep dying? it's bad ]

[dotcom]

[ ... ]

We'll run out of people eventually.

[alteracion]

Unless we get better at solving things.

[dotcom]

... we're going to have to try.

I'm more than a little tired of getting things wrong.

[alteracion]

I don't like it either. [ she sighs ] Okay. So-- let's say Vlad killed Steven. That's what makes the most sense, right? With the shovel and everything. Then when he was bringing everything back, he ran into Luca and his killer. Who might have been related to last week because of the toblerones in the jail?

[ she grimaces. these are all ... stretches ]

[dotcom]

Maybe?

I guess it could also be that, one person was intending to target two people, but then it turned out someone else was already targeting them? So if Vlad had meant to kill both Steven and Luca, but there was someone else already there...

[ he

he doesn't know. ]

[alteracion]

Yeah, the only thing I'm sure of is that Vlad planned to frame Ming Yi. Anyone else doing it would rely on too much luck, or it'd have to be one of the guys who were in the biome?

[ murder is so stupid. ]

[dotcom]

It's most likely Vlad, considering everything else about what we found.

[alteracion]

It's what makes the most sense, but it's weird to have all three of our murders connected...

[dotcom]

Mm. It's way too much of a coincidence, I agree.

[alteracion]

But... it can't be that someone agreed to work with Vlad and then betrayed him.

[ because no one would agree to work with vlad ]

[dotcom]

... I wonder how likely would it be for there to be accomplices at this stage?

[alteracion]

...

You think someone really might have worked with him?
