[in a neat, controlled script]

[herr-inspektor.livejournal.com]

I am beginning an investigation into this institute. Having only arrived last night, I have several questions I feel must be answered in order to give my investigation a strong base. I am asking for the following:

- A summary of the Institute: its function, the way it works, patients, maps, etc.
- Descriptions of its 'key players': in particular, Martin Landel, the Head Doctor, and Alex Doyle
- A timeline of key events
- Anything else deemed to be important

All information would be appreciated, including notes or theories from other patients. Should the question of trust or authority arise, I will be all too happy to give my badge number.

-- Inspector Lunge (BKA)

[as an after-thought]

Why were the majority people absent fom the Institute last night? Every room I looked into was empty. Is this a regular occurrence?

If you're a new patient, much of that information is usually supplied on the bulletin eventually.

Last night wasn't usual. The majority of patients were stuck in a nearby town.

I see. In that case, could you instead shed any light on who the woman referred to is?

A nearby town? How did they get there?

[tsunagari.livejournal.com]

I know of only two women to be heard over the intercom or radio. There is the head nurse, who sometimes does announcements when the Head Doctor is busy, and someone named Jill who briefly took over giving "help" on the radio after the death of Jack. I don't know if either of these women are who he's referring to.

We were taken to this town - Doyleton - as part of a weekly "field trip." This was my third time going there, but the first instance where we were left there rather than brought here before dark.

[herr-inspektor.livejournal.com]

I see. Is there anything else you could tell me about either of these two women that struck you or may be useful?

I can't help but notice the influx of 'check up' notes. Did anything of note happen in town last night? Perhaps you were left there specifically to allow last night's events to take place back here.

The head nurse appears to transform at night like the others do, but retains more of herself - her ability to speak, at least. The second appeared a bit inexperienced at the job she was trying to take over.

The town was literally swarming with the risen dead.

'Transform'? The nurses here appear to change shape at night? Hmm.

As in, there were zombies in the town. Right.

[tsunagari.livejournal.com]

It is no concern of mine whether you believe me or not.

[fencing-captain.livejournal.com]

This place is a circus at night.

[herr-inspektor.livejournal.com]

That much I can see. There's no possibility that reports of 'monster' sightings could be hallucinations or some kind of trick?

[fencing-captain.livejournal.com]

That's what I thought, but I saw something the night before last, and the zombies were very real.

[herr-inspektor.livejournal.com]

What kind of 'something'? Could you describe it at all?

[fencing-captain.livejournal.com]

I mean some kind of monster. It wasn't long before the end of the night though.

[herr-inspektor.livejournal.com]

[there is a blot where the pen was resting]

And you're entirely sure it wasn't a puppet or costume?

[fencing-captain.livejournal.com]

It smelled pretty bad, and it was very, very strong.

[herr-inspektor.livejournal.com]

[return of the blot!]

Thank you for your information. It's been very useful.

These posts are relatively straightforward explanations of the situation at present, written by one of my associates.

We are still in the process of compiling a timeline, but this is the most recent update.

I am available for further questions at your convenience. And allow me to welcome you to the Doyleton precinct, Inspector Lunge.

[herr-inspektor.livejournal.com]

Thank you- those are very helpful.

I'm sure I'll be made to feel right at home. Would it be possible to speak to you today? I have a few questions I'd like answered.

[unmocked-lawr.livejournal.com]

I'm available all day. Would brunch be suitable?

-Javert

[herr-inspektor.livejournal.com]

Of course. Do you have a description I could go on?

[unmocked-lawr.livejournal.com]

Grey hair tied back, brown eyes, sideburns. One of the few men in the Institute over fifty who looks it.

I'll be sitting near the front of the cafeteria.

I think you might be a little outside your jurisdiction, Inspector.

A few people have already mentioned the usual primers. If you're looking for something specific, you might have more luck asking face to face. I usually do.

[herr-inspektor.livejournal.com]

That's never stopped me before. Speaking of which, does anyone know our exact location?

Duly noted. Thank you.

[tartaros-avatar.livejournal.com]

Unknown location. Generally assumed to be the East Coast of the United States, specifically, New England or the general area, but no confirming evidence has ever come to light. These assumptions are based off of the local landscape, forests and general style of Doyleton, although the place is obviously within the bounds of the Institute's influence, and may simply be a construct created for it.

[i-dont-paint.livejournal.com]

Nothing exact. The staff have been careful to avoid anything that might let us pin down location conclusively.

[herr-inspektor.livejournal.com]

So you would say that even the day staff are obstructive?

[i-dont-paint.livejournal.com]

The day staff are obstructive. The night staff are homicidal.

[herr-inspektor.livejournal.com]

Last night I didn't see any staff around at all. They attack the patients?

[high-prosecutor.livejournal.com]

A pleasure to meet you, Herr Inspektor. My name is Miles Edgeworth, and I'm a prosecuting attorney.

My associate, M. Javert, has already given you the primer information that I've compiled. If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.

-- M.E.

[herr-inspektor.livejournal.com]

Your primers have been greatly appreciated. I'd like to speak with you face to face sometime, if that could be arranged.

Out of curiosity, have you had dealings with the BKA before or did you simply know the initials?

[high-prosecutor.livejournal.com]

Of course. I'm afraid my schedule is rather full for today, but we can speak tomorrow morning at breakfast?

I can't say I've had personal dealings with the BKA, but I've spent quite a bit of time in Germany and my family was involved heavily with the legal system.

[herr-inspektor.livejournal.com]

Breakfast would be fine. Thank you for your cooperation.

I had wondered- your name is English or American, but you noticed that I come from a German institution.
