Part 52: Episode 3, Day 2, Investigation: At Last, a Clue!Music: Silence
We've escaped the director, and after looking around the employee area again and not finding anything, we're headed back to the main gate.
Sound: Guilty
Gah!
You again!Sound: Whack
Eeeek!Sound: Stab 2
Sound: Damage 2
You... certainly got back to your post quickly. Oh the police took me away, they did. They pulled out a spare Steel Samurai costume! Told me to "put it on." Can you imagine?
Sound: Whack
Mr. Powers is pretty tall...
(I guess that would rule out her being the murderer.)
Anyway!
I'm not liking our chances of getting the key to the Studio Two trailer.
Sound: Whack
You sure are talking a lot for someone with sealed lips. Starting now! One, two, three, mmmph!Sound: Whack
Sound: Whoops

In case you were wondering, Oldbag only returns to her post once we've both met the director and heard the crash at Studio Two.
Music: Investigation - Opening
I can't imagine asking nicely will help here, but what the heck.
The security guard station. I can see the computer that runs the security cameras.
Sound: Whack
(Guess I'd better investigate there later...)
We do still get to ask some questions. Not sure there will be any answers though.
Umm, about that kid you said you saw...
Sound: Whack
Sound: Light Bulb
The Oldbag is always serious, Maya.
About the director, the one who was here on the day of the murder...
Sound: Whack
That's not a repeated image, she really just has the same line and reaction there.
Sound: Light Bulb
Well, we did kind of get her hauled off to the detention center for questioning. I'm just kind of impressed she showed up back at work right away.
Let's remind her of who we are again.
Aww, you're no fun Phoenix.
After running around to check on the rest of the studio again, we wind up back at the employee area.
Sound: Light Bulb
I think we found our fanboy!
Sound: Whack
After him! Maybe he saw something that will help us!
Music: The Steel Samurai
Maya have you never talked to a child before?
Sound: Super Shock
Sound: Light Bulb
Sound: Whack
What a rude little brat. That's no way to talk to an adult!Just go right out and call him a whippersnapper, Maya.
Sound: Damage 2
H-hippie fashion...?
Sound: Whoops
And he's doing a good job of it, too.
(You got to hand it to Maya, she's pretty sharp. And pretty mad...)
I'm Cody! Cody Hackins.
Let's not upset the crazy not-kid with the maybe-real sword.
Before we talk with Cody, we can examine the drain again.
The drain where the fanboy came in.
Very true! If you've been paying attention to the plot triggers, it's pretty obvious that meeting Cody can only happen if we tear off that drain repair. (This scene is available as soon as we see Oldbag at the main gate.)
Forget talking to this guy, I want to see what's on his camera. Ah well, I guess we'll get there eventually.
So, you're a fan of the Steel Samurai?
Sound: Whack
What do you mean? We're on the Steel Samurai's side!Sound: Whack
Yikes, take it down a notch kid.
Oh no we're having a nerd battle.
Sound: Light Bulb
Hmph... not bad, kiddy-o.Sound: Realization
Watch it! (What are they doing!?)
Say, you heard anything about the incident the other day?
...
You were here, weren't you? ... Did you see anything...?
?
Sound: Super Shock
Yeah, I saw 'em! I saw everything!Sound: Damage 2
Sound: Stab 2
Sound: Whack
Wha--!? Wait...Sound: Light Bulb
Lemme go!
Sound: Damage 1
Aaannd he's gone.
Music: Silence
... He's gone.
Huh?Sound: Light Bulb
Sound: Realization
Why was this sitting there, I wonder?
Sound: Select Jingle
Sleeping pills! I was right, our client was totally drugged! No one noticed the bottle until now? And the killer didn't think to take it back or hide it?
Anyway, what was that kid saying? He "saw everything"...quote:
Cody ran off before we could show him our attorney's badge, but he has the same reaction to that and everything else we have:
Well I think there's more to uncover with this kid, but at least we finally have some new evidence!
