 Part Two: " The Body and the Blood" 3:00 PM, March 10th, 1999.  Agents Irena, Indigo, and Imogen return to their safehouse in Queens with the mysterious briefcase that Indigo had snatched from the adept following Dr. Monpierre. On the way there, they buy plastic tarps, jumpsuits, duct tape, and a crowbar. They haul the heavy briefcase to an empty room and prepare to open it. A chamber covered in plastic tarp is thrown together, and Irena volunteers herself to attempting to pry open the briefcase with the crowbar. She is successful at doing this, though ends up splashing its contents across the room, getting some on her skin.  The briefcase contains a viscous, black substance that stains everything it touches like ink, it is thick, heavy, warm, and absolutely foul-smelling.

This isn't following any sort of metric of guideline and is just what my thoughts on the scenarios.  I eventually got burnt out of reading all of these entries, and don't really feel inclined to read more. sooooo here's the damage: THE POLYGRAPH I found the polygraph to be an interesting setpiece, and it's a rare one.
