After poring over clbumified information, Trent and Gumshoe finally have a lead: 47424. Miss Trent’s ingenuity had pieced it together. Gumshoe had no head for numbers and codes. He mostly just smiled and nodded. But maybe smiling and nodding was enough to help her work her magic, for as he guided the number with his thumb he heard a faint ‘click!’

The briefcase opened,

Oh my god. Trent. Look at this.

It was dogreat timesents. Papers. Verifiably, Gumshoe’s least favorite part of sleuthing. But these… these were interesting. The one on the top looked like…

A certificate of agency. Trent, we signed one of these when we joined! This is a membership paper for… The Gentlemen’s Club! Made out for one Agent Ramirez. And for… October 18, 2013? There… is no Agent Ramirez in the TGC. This is… my god…

More papers. Here’s a driver’s license for one Enricio Ramirez. And here is… well, looks like a certificate for stock owned in the… Brainfreeze Trust. Hmm. But there’s a photo ID, and Ramirez looks different from his driver’s license. Looks like he was shaved bald, and there’s a barcode thingy on his right temple. ...might’ve been there before, he had hair blocking it, but still.

Reading on… looks like AGENT Ramirez had a license to kill, a license to operate heavy artillery weapons, and a license for “Constitutional suspendments”. ...I dont know govspeak jargon, but *I* think that means he could violate the Constitution at his leisure.

Okay, here’s something. Says here that his second to last mission was to infiltrate the Brainfreeze Organized Trust. Dunno anything about that. But according to the small text here, he should’ve destroyed these dogreat timesents. And… we’re reading them. What gives?

His last mission was apparently visit “HP” and speak to a “client” about legal action. ...does anyone get any of this? Cuz it’s all baloney to me.

Except? He raised an eyebrow. Except what?

Hmmm. Alright, so let’s say that refers to this guy and he we have his briefcase. What then? Do we have any way to track TGC agents?

I don’t know anything bout watermarks. o.o’ You check it?

I’m not quite sure I’m enough of an expert on government watermarks. Even if it’s real, what then?

Yup, it’s the real deal alright.

So. Another peice clicks into place, amaranthus will hate this…or maybe he’ll love trying to prove or disprove it’s possibility.

Inspector Gumshoe Posted:

Sir… if there really is an Agent Ramirez… what does all this have to do with us? How could he come to our time, and… why? And why would one of our agents be tied to the Brainfreeze Trust?

...and where is he now?

Well, I have no idea exactly, but who knows what can be done in the future, I still don’t know what exactly this Brainfreeze trust is, maybe something that doesn’t yet exist in our time?

As for why, endless possibilities there, however, I would like to try one thing.

I bumume you all read amaranthus report?

If murderousness isn’t dead, then that would be a person of interest who we need to concentrate our efforts on finding.

Just because we haven't seen "Murderousness'" body doesn't mean he isn't dead.

True, but we ruled out that he was one of those murdered, which at least means he still might be, and I for one would like to talk to someone in our time, who we don’t have to conduct a S’eance to reach.

Miss Trent Posted:

As for Mr. Murderousness, if someone wanted to commit a crime or conspiracy, what better way than to make everyone think he’s been murdered?

And this “Ramirez” character. Anyone got a time machine lying around? Otherwise, I think we have to bumume this is a ruse to get us on the wrong track.

Well…. not necessarily. We don’t have, exactly a time machine, so to peak, at least not one that is working yet, that I am aware of, but you know…
