Investigation Club Meeting, After classes, In a school science lab

Bruce had sent a handwavey e-mail to the Investigation Club, directing them to a science lab for the meeting today.

When people reached the lab, he gave a brief explanation. "Forensics is a fairly broad form of scientific examination of evidence to solve a crime or mystery. If you find fingerprints, blood, saliva, semen, gun powder, a bullet, or anything else that you can examine that might lead to the identity of a culprit, you've likely given yourself a solid foundation for your investigation."

"We're in this lab today to find out how to build that foundation. I've managed to acquire some equipment that's eventually going to make its way into a medical examiners' lab. Let's take a look at some of it and get a good feel for how to use it," Bruce said.

Bruce went on to demonstrate how to dust for fingerprints, collect an preserve blood samples, and a few other topics that people were free to listen to if they didn't want to just dive in and start playing with some of the equipment Bruce had acquired. Sure, the odds that they'd encounter something in Fandom where they needed to find gunpowder residue or trace amounts of semen weren't too high, but it was a good starting place for post-Fandom careers.

Ariel really couldn't complain about the meeting not being on the trooper station roof again, because a laboratory could be just as fun! She was trying to hold down the bouncing, lest she wind up breaking anything.

One would hope that Sherlock would know this better than Bruce. If not, something was very wrong with the universe.

Hank started chuckling immaturely. "You said 'semen'."

For those of you playing at home, can guess which of those suggested tests Momoko is not going to be performing?

That's right, dusting for prints was not happening! Fingerprint powder got everywhere! She'd be over here reading the manual for the comparison stereo microscope and wondering if she could get some of Ariel and Roy's hair to compare to her own.
