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!"

The three guys are lined up against the wall and it's up to you to decide whodunit. Prove by your lab work and crime scene video who's the bad guy. Abby is watching nearby.

[Mod the bad guy! Mod all the guys!]

Lana showed the crime scene video where the chef slipped something into the potatoes just before entering the room and the results of her food testing which clearly showed a large amount of cyanide present in said potatoes.

Abby pointed to the chef who was confessed to poisoning Chad in order to gain access to a fortune in spatulas. "Good job, Lana! You get an A for the day."

Ami looked at the lab work, looked at the printouts from the video and indicated the butler. "He put cyanide into the tea."

Abby pointed to the butler who was confessed to poisoning Chad in order to gain access to a fortune in white gloves. "Good job, Ami! You get an A for the day."

"Okay, the video footage was kind of unreliable because of its low quality. Even by improving the quality, the footage still isn't conclusive because two of the three suspects look like they could have been putting something into the food they served. But if you take into account the sample of stomach contents, the food's broken down, but it's clear from a higher concentration that the potatoes were the source of the poison. But since the poison turned out to be cyanide, there's no way he could've lived long enough to get the tea if he had a high enough dose to kill him outright. This is backed up by the time stamp when the tea was delivered, and the time of death. I think the chef didn't put enough in, and if we do an autopsy we'll probably find other symptoms of cyanide poisoning and find that he died from a side effect of a smaller dosage. So uh, yeah. The chef did it."

Lucas was getting into this class way too much.

Abby kinda loved Lucas. She pointed to the chef who confessed to poisoning Chad in order to gain access to a fortune in spatulas. "Great job, Lucas! You get an A for the day."

"It was, strangly enough, both the chef, and the butler." Billy said. "I checked the surveillance tapes with the time of death, and both of them appear to have paused before entering the room. Plus the soup hadn't been touched, but the tea, and mashed potatoes had been sampled. Then Mainframe," he pointed to the computer. Yes, he'd named it Mainframe. "Told me what was in his stomach, was actually two separate chemical agents, taken separately, they're harmless but put them together and they make a very fast working poison. So, Mainframe deserves the credit, plus whoever wrote the program deserves a cookie for making it so easy to use."

Rikku composed her thoughts. "OK, so! According to the tests I've got, the arsenic was all in the soup. All of them kinda had access to the soup, but the waiter's the one that stopped and looked like he was putting something in it." She scratched her head for a moment. "That's probably not conclusive or anything, cause he might not have, and the chef could have totally poisoned the soup way back in the kitchen, or whoever made it, right? But the fact that he stopped there and did that, and then there was arsenic in the soup, is a pretty big coincidence, so I'm gonna say he did it, or at least, he'd better have a good explanation to convince me he didn't."
