The box of lab coats is next to door of the danger shop and Abby is perched on a lab counter, flipping a DVD in the air. After checking the class over for a few minutes, she hopped off and started pacing.

"We've got a blood free class today and I hopefully that makes some of you happy. Today we're going to do two of the things that I hate doing. But that doesn't mean that you have to hate today's class. Maybe you'll love it. Maybe your new favorite class with be today's class on..." Abby walked over to the overhead projector and turned it on, illuminating a worksheet on toxicology. "...stomach contents!"

Abby launched into ~~an extremely handwaved~~ lecture on how to test stomach contents. "Also, you're going to pouring over security camera tape to find the bad guy. It's like looking for a needle in a black and white really grainy haystack. Not a favorite thing of mine to be doing, but if you're into that sort of thing you'll have a ball."

Opening the door to the crime scene, Abby moved to show the students the layout. Chad lay slumped in a chair at a very fancy table in a wealthy looking room. Chad's shirt had greyish looking vomit drying on it and the leftovers of dinner were still on the plates in front of him. "This is Chad. Poor dead Chad died before he finished his dinner. I wouldn't recommend nabbing anything off the plate though. You need to figure out how Chad died and who did it. You'll do that by using the skills we talked about in class earlier."

"Go get 'em!"

Check out the food in front of Chad. It's got leftovers of mashed potatoes, a bowl of soup and a cup of tea. Watch the crime scene footage to see waiter bring in the soup...and pause in the hallway before serving it. Or the chef bring in the mashed potatoes...and pause in the hallway before serving it. Or the butler bring in the tea...and pause in the hallway before serving it.

[Watch the tape by yourself or with others.]

Ami watched the video. As it was a security video, it was blurry and pixelated. Damn those multiplexed tapes. She loaded a demo copy of VideoFocus (http://www.salientstills.com/index.html) onto the lab's computer and fed the tape into it. Much better. She could see the butler pour something into the tea.

~~oooh oooh i can use the software i helped write!~~

"What you got?"

John ran the tapes a few times, and captured some of hte stills to be cleaned up in a photo editing/enhancing program.

Lucas pulled out his laptop and loaded a video editing program. He isolated the stills he needed and improved the quality. The picture was still grainy but significantly better than it had been. He saved the footage of the culprit as a separate file, then grabbed some samples of the stomach contents and headed to the lab.

Lana carefully watched the crime scene video. She ran it over several times, stopping and rewinding wherever necessary. The chef... he did something odd just before he brought the food in. Hmmm...

Parker's eyes started to glaze after a bit, and she started playing with the fast-forward button.

Rikku backed the tape up a few times and squinted, using the pause button a lot.

She peeked at all of the food but couldn't see anything obvious. Guess that meant it was time for testing.

Billy tried not to get bored. He started dubbing in lines for the people on the tape.

The waiter was off the hook, the soup hadn't been touched. Whatever it was worked fast. So it was either the...waaaaiiiit a minute.

Broots was having a blast with this part of the assignment.
