![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/3/3c7c3e3e0c6a2f92646ab3205f18f2d3a5c524c0.jpg) [The officer sighs.] And I’ve been trying to explain to you that this is an official Lone Star investigation and I can’t let anyone in here.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/0/04f9842c835e1a50daf1e1529a3541669391385e.jpg) Hey… I got rights!

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/3/3c7c3e3e0c6a2f92646ab3205f18f2d3a5c524c0.jpg) Look, you SINless garbage. I’ve got a job to do. Find a new blanket, or I’ll find a reason to use my stun baton.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/2/2d2d07d7a5b2340fc16916543be659b92b13ef6f.jpg) Putos cerdos.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/0/04f9842c835e1a50daf1e1529a3541669391385e.jpg) Typical. I hate all you pigs!

[The cop’s hand twitch around his baton and the old man prudently steps back. Time to shine.]

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/b/bb86d5e8e738047ade93d2ed4e94707e48fcc4a9.jpg) Hello officer, how are you doing?

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/3/3c7c3e3e0c6a2f92646ab3205f18f2d3a5c524c0.jpg) [He looks in your direction.] Now what?

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/b/b752ad96de05c79a87f2c991fa23961ac105331c.jpg) The coroner sent me over.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/3/3c7c3e3e0c6a2f92646ab3205f18f2d3a5c524c0.jpg) Doesn’t mean jack to me. Unless someone radios me with an update, my orders are that nobody gets in.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/b/b752ad96de05c79a87f2c991fa23961ac105331c.jpg) I understand. Have a good one.

 ![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/0/013269a2ee2de53553be864c006f7c2244f6dce0.jpg)

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/b/b752ad96de05c79a87f2c991fa23961ac105331c.jpg) Know anything about the murder that took place here?

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/0/04f9842c835e1a50daf1e1529a3541669391385e.jpg) [He squints at you, suspicious.] You a copper? Or… working for some corp?

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/4/44f49ddbbc0eb8f3d41fc6a2d725588caabb894f.png) Ah! Do I look like a copper? Nah, I’m as SINless as you. Mind answering a few questions?

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/0/04f9842c835e1a50daf1e1529a3541669391385e.jpg) Hey… What makes you think I’m SINless?

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/0/04f9842c835e1a50daf1e1529a3541669391385e.jpg) Har! Just messin’ with ya. ‘Course I’m SINless. System I-dee number, my ass. What kinda questions ya got?

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/b/b752ad96de05c79a87f2c991fa23961ac105331c.jpg) You live in this alley?

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/0/04f9842c835e1a50daf1e1529a3541669391385e.jpg) Sure… for the last coupl’a month I been sleeping there. But I spend my days out doing odd jobs for the street merchants, or panhandling tourists over near the Seamstresses Union.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/b/b752ad96de05c79a87f2c991fa23961ac105331c.jpg) So, did you see the murder?

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/0/04f9842c835e1a50daf1e1529a3541669391385e.jpg) Nope - and I can’t say I’m sorry I missed it. I was hauling crates for Mrs. James up at th’ market. Can’t carry as many as I used to… so it took awhile. Got back here in time to see a coupl’a tourists puking all over my home turf. By then, that jerkface in the uniform had already set up shop in my alley.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/b/b752ad96de05c79a87f2c991fa23961ac105331c.jpg) Anything else happened that night?

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/0/04f9842c835e1a50daf1e1529a3541669391385e.jpg) Hmm. Well… you know, earlier in the night I saw a big ‘n ugly troll in green hospital scrubs snoopin’ around the block. He bought some donuts and two cups of soykaf off’a Dan over there. Seemed nervous, and he did everythin’ with his left hand because his right was all screwed up with some cyberware.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/5/5c313d29042b8358b6fa75e5dcddab594929040e.jpg) Interesting. Care to elaborate on the troll’s cyberware?

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/0/04f9842c835e1a50daf1e1529a3541669391385e.jpg) Well… it was big, and I think it must’ve had some hospital attachments because I saw some needles. It was a lot like one I saw back in ‘44, when I got captured by elves. They did all sorts of experiments on me, let me tell you. Never trusted one of them cyber-people.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/b/b752ad96de05c79a87f2c991fa23961ac105331c.jpg) That’s all I needed to know, thanks.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/0/04f9842c835e1a50daf1e1529a3541669391385e.jpg) See ya around.

 ![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/f/f4f733fcef8886808d99989aba1e6a54216e61d4.jpg)

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/b/b752ad96de05c79a87f2c991fa23961ac105331c.jpg) You must be Dan? The old man other there recommended you.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/0/0f8e50aa1cfadf4f4efb5e6bb02742303d8cbd3e.png) That’s me. What can I get you, chummer?

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/b/b752ad96de05c79a87f2c991fa23961ac105331c.jpg) A soykaf, please. Say, did you see the murder in the alley across the way?

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/0/0f8e50aa1cfadf4f4efb5e6bb02742303d8cbd3e.png) Nope… I was closed when it happened. But hey, it’s the Barrens - a black-alley killing’s nothing new around here. The only reason the cops are making a big deal ‘bout this Ripper business is that some of the victims are REAL people… You know, folks with SINs.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/b/b752ad96de05c79a87f2c991fa23961ac105331c.jpg) The old guy mentioned a troll wearing scrubs, sold him some donuts last night?

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/0/0f8e50aa1cfadf4f4efb5e6bb02742303d8cbd3e.png) Maybe. What’s it to you? I sell a lot of donuts, to a lot of people. I know how Lone Star profiles metahumans. I tell’em about a troll that bought donuts from me right before a murder, they’ll haul him in just to see if anyone will pay the bail. Not today, my friend.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/8/8f8c0987fb52d48356ca9efcc46ee1b1e15c3dc0.jpg) I can understand that.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/b/b752ad96de05c79a87f2c991fa23961ac105331c.jpg) I’ll see you around, chummer. Great soykaf.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/0/0f8e50aa1cfadf4f4efb5e6bb02742303d8cbd3e.png) Enjoy.

 ![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/c/c74a4b37cde1057291abebbceb81266740b7cc32.jpg)

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/0/0f8e50aa1cfadf4f4efb5e6bb02742303d8cbd3e.png) I’m closed. Come back tomorrow.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/b/b752ad96de05c79a87f2c991fa23961ac105331c.jpg) Won’t take long. You’ve got a great view of that alley across the street… Don’t suppose you saw the murder that happened there?

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/0/0f8e50aa1cfadf4f4efb5e6bb02742303d8cbd3e.png) [She grunts.] Sure… I was closing up when I heard a series of explosions from behind the Union. Couple seconds later, this guy comes out, runs across the street. Didn’t get a good look at him. Then all the lights in the alley exploded all of a sudden. Things got pretty quiet after that.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/b/b752ad96de05c79a87f2c991fa23961ac105331c.jpg) Thanks.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/0/0f8e50aa1cfadf4f4efb5e6bb02742303d8cbd3e.png) Uh huh. No problem.

[You lean against the wall for a moment, chewing on your new clues. The hospital scrubs the troll wore seem to fit with the Ripper’s use of scalpels. But trolls don’t generally have slim hands and Dresden also said the Ripper was probably right handed. So either the troll was just some poor sod that wandered in the Barrens at the wrong time… Or the Ripper isn’t a single person. The old man had said he had ordered two coffees, hadn’t he? The latter sounds the most believable, the troll and another person working together. But why? Were the kills random?]

[You try to concentrate, but something Dresden said clings to the back of your mind, disturbing your concentration and making your gut twist unpleasantly.]

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/5/52d4455ce20598ed706364f5b5e72575ba7116cd.jpg) The killer stuns the targets with a combination of drugs and magic, then removes a single organ while they’re still alive.

[Was Sam still conscious? How long did he wait in that alley until he died? Nobody came to check on him, nobody helped. Alone in the dark. A drek death after a drek life.]

[You straighten your back and buy from Dan a jelly donut and a second soykaf, to go this time. You need more clues and to get more clues, you need to check the crime scene.]

 ![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/1/18064543a5ef0b8de01ec5a522a5d30868f66f8c.jpg)

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/5/5c313d29042b8358b6fa75e5dcddab594929040e.jpg) Long night, eh? You looked cold, so I picked up a donut and some soykaf for you.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/3/3c7c3e3e0c6a2f92646ab3205f18f2d3a5c524c0.jpg) Hey… thanks! [The officer’s face lights up as he takes a sip. He seems pretty trusting, for an officer of the law.] You know… when my dad was a cop… this was back when cops actually worked for the government… he said folks would buy him coffee all the time. But I ain’t seen it ‘till now.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/f/fba2360cce67fe4ac28edb3bab0542b3c203f6e9.jpg) How touching.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/3/3c7c3e3e0c6a2f92646ab3205f18f2d3a5c524c0.jpg) Yeah, I miss him. So what can I do for you?

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/b/b752ad96de05c79a87f2c991fa23961ac105331c.jpg) I’m working for the dead man. Hired me postmortem to help find his killer. The coroner pointed me to the crime scene, can I come into the alley and look around a bit?

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/3/3c7c3e3e0c6a2f92646ab3205f18f2d3a5c524c0.jpg) Your client is the chalk line? That’s messed up woman, but I respect it, ok, but don’t mess anything up. Not that anyone would likely notice because the forensics aren’t coming back.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/4/44f49ddbbc0eb8f3d41fc6a2d725588caabb894f.png) Thank you, you are an honor to your profession, officer Kuprik.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/3/3c7c3e3e0c6a2f92646ab3205f18f2d3a5c524c0.jpg) You’re welcome.

 ![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/1/15674359dd588a8808fa6505fabcb5c0177b9bb7.jpg)

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/b/b752ad96de05c79a87f2c991fa23961ac105331c.jpg) Jackpot.

[The worklight is new. You can see that all of the alley’s normal lights have been ruined. Upon closer inspection, it seems that they’ve all imploded - as if some force shattered them all at the same time.]

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/b/b752ad96de05c79a87f2c991fa23961ac105331c.jpg) A combination of drugs and magic, hm? Guess I’ve found the magic.

[Amidst the shards of glass from the broken lights, you find a small piece of glass which looks like the bottom of a test tube.]

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/4/44f49ddbbc0eb8f3d41fc6a2d725588caabb894f.png) How careless. [You pocket it discreetly.]

 ![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/b/be3ace82338399fc7ebfadfe7e50e05d8d590384.jpg)

[As you shuffle the bundle of cloth to the side, a printed receipt falls out from beneath the folds of the blanket. It’s a bar tab receipt from the Seamstresses Union, dated two days ago at 3:02 AM - right around the coroner’s reported time of death. The customer: Sam Watts.]

[The server’s name is listed as Coyote.]

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/b/b752ad96de05c79a87f2c991fa23961ac105331c.jpg) I’m gonna have to have a little talk with them, I suppose…

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/4/44f49ddbbc0eb8f3d41fc6a2d725588caabb894f.png) I believe that’s yours, chummer?

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/0/04f9842c835e1a50daf1e1529a3541669391385e.jpg) My stuff! Mighty decent of ya… don’t see that kinda thing too often out here.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/b/bb86d5e8e738047ade93d2ed4e94707e48fcc4a9.jpg) Don’t get used to it, me and the pigs just don’t really see eye to eye.

![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/0/04f9842c835e1a50daf1e1529a3541669391385e.jpg) Still. Thanks.

 ![image](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/2X/d/d7b466c5793c50ff86e952d4af0ae665af7eecb8.jpg)
