● ● ● MAY PLOTTING POST: CONCLUSION + PLAYER PLOT
As the mission draws to a close and the Orbers are on the cusp of solving a murder mystery and possibly retrieving the orb, here is a quick recap of what has been found out so far:
• On the night of the murder, the Day family were gathered for dinner. Luna left first, followed by Marshall, Terra and Helios left together. Goldie and Oden remained to continue speaking, but left for ten minutes each, separately, before returning back to the dinner car.
• Jove was previously a successful businessman.
• Jove was in an accident as a child that left him with scars.
• The Day siblings may have been largely estranged from each other, sent to different schools and were closer to some than others.
• Hortensia Day died due to an accident on an archaeological site. Her husband, Felix Day, also died in a similar, separate fashion. Neither death is suspicious.
• The Day children were left with a letter from Hortensia Day with notions of regret as well as instructions to return her last discovery to the museum to collect a reward. It also included a series of numbers and letters, like a locker combination.
• The Day family all appear to be living varying levels beyond their means, a possible motive.
• The day after the murder, Goldie Day was seen speaking with a man with red skin and a metallic glint. She was also wearing long sleeves that day.
• The man with red skin is named Noct Wood and was found coming out of the Days’ car. A location for his particular sleeping quarters confirmed.
• The Museum is missing an artifact in the form of a book, confirmed to be the same object Jove Day was trying to sell. The Vref was also responsible for hiring Detective Val Pinot to track it down.
• Jove was previously a successful businessman.
• Jove was in an accident as a child that left him with scars.
• The Day siblings may have been largely estranged from each other, sent to different schools and were closer to some than others.
• Hortensia Day died due to an accident on an archaeological site. Her husband, Felix Day, also died in a similar, separate fashion. Neither death is suspicious.

With all this in mind: Who does your character suspect committed the murder based on the info they have found out and what do they intend to do with the info? If they would do anything that could influence the conclusion, please respond HERE.

· OPT-IN PLAYER PLOT
On May 23rd, a post will coincide with the mission's conclusion: an optional player plot! It will be happening in tandem with the official mod conclusion, and will involve Newton Geiszler forming a mental link with the mission's orb, which has its sights set on helping Newt retrieve it so that it may make a deal with the precursors in possession of Newton's body.
Newton will use a limited amount of power offered by the orb to summon a kaiju within the train itself that is large enough to charge through the cars and destroy as much as it can in its path as a distraction and attempted method to kill the currently depowered Ximilia crewmembers.The kaiju will have explicitly mentioned weaknesses listed in the log for convenience's sake, but everyone else is more than free to interact with the kaiju and help try to weaken it, hide from it, or generally end up on the wrong side of some claws.
While the kaiju is being defeated, Newton will also need to be apprehended as he flees through the train cars toward the front of the train; he will be apprehended by the time the train reaches the station to avoid him getting his alien-possessed mits on the orb. Newton will be armed with physical weapons and talismans that are powered by his temporarily mental link with the orb, so there will also be a limited option for characters to interact with and fail to capture him earlier on as well.
Keep in mind you're more than welcome to OPT-OUT as well! There will be an option on the player plot's log itself for your character to be left behind on the tracks, in train cars that have been disconnected by an explosion and left back down the line.
