fandomhigh | Forensic Science - 3/14

Abby was pouring over a notebook at a lab table when the students entered. "John, Parker, Zero, Will, Billy, Lana and Hermione all have perfect attendance. Lucas already talked to me about his absence. Everyone else should come see me and have a reason for their absences or a bribe for your teacher."

"Now, today we're going to be working on identifying bodies where there's not much left to the bodies." Abby turned on the overhead to show a skeleton. "Due to method of murder, you're not always able to find fingerprints or identify by facial features. Sometimes you need to use other methods to identify the victim."

Abby gave a lecture on how to identify skeletons and teeth, showing pictures and x rays. Opening the door to the crime scene, Abby grinned at the students. "Let's get to the fun part."

A half collapsed garage stood on a grassy lawn, one wall torn apart and laying in pieces of shrapnel along the ground. "This is the final resting place of two people. Early this morning a pipe bomb went off and destroyed this building and killed the two people inside of it. There wasn't a lot left, so it's up to you guys to find a way to identify the remains and match them up with a file in missing persons. Also, here's a hint, make sure the injuries to the bodies match the injuries consistent with an explosion."

Abby glared at the garage. "There'll be pieces of a skeleton that you'll have to find. The other "dead" body," Abby used finger quotes here. "Is being a big pain and refusing to wear my really nifty skeleton t-shirt. So just pretend Miley is all burned and exploded."

Parker was thoroughly grossed out. And fascinated. And getting plenty of bad ideas of how to fake people's deaths. Possibly her own.

Mac frowned a little. She'd missed class? She couldn't remember not being there at any point.

~~Possibly because while she participated in class, she apparently didn't sign in. *facepalm* Twice.~~

~~*snerk*~~

"Mac?" Abby came over after the lecture. "I looked over my records and it looks like I have class work for you for all the classes. So apparently you win at showing up and lose at signing in. Luckily you're named after my favorite computer so I'll let you off."

She just knew there was a good reason she liked her nickname. Mac smiled awkwardly at Abby. "Thanks," she said. "Making a mental note to make sure I work on winning at signing in too, right now."

"Good plan." Abby smiled.

Will was kind of grossed out by all the pictures in today's class. She had to remind herself that when she'd chosen to sign up for forensic science, she knew that it was likely less about well-dressed people in a parlor accusing each other of murder and more about body parts.

Billy wasn't exactly grossed out, but he did wince.

Rikku took notes. And reminded herself to talk to Professor Abby after class about absences. Whoops.
