Well Im still hoping the JPG's of the reports and witness statements will give us something once I can de-stegg them. (that a word??)
But I am really having problems with this, I cant seem to get the process to work past identifiying which JPG's have a potential message inside them!

Been out the game for while but have some time due to a torn muscle in my back (ouch)

Thinking about this how about trying to locate the source of the black market ceretin, i.e. the dealer??

If we can get someone to make some enquiries regarding this and see if we can find the supplier and try and get some information out of them as to who has been buying off them???


Sorry if this has already been raised elsewhere..............

No, i don't think it's the same thing, as the two have opposite reactions.

From what I gather, Ceretin opens up pathways in the brain, alowing you to become smarter for a set time, whereas Neuro-inhibitors seem to shut them down?

So, ceretin = more brain, until it liquifies itself, Inhibitors = less brain, until it dissolves itself?

Different effects, same result?

I'm wondering if the Ceretin was just a means to cover the actual chemicals used in his murder. Tetrodotoxin is a neurotoxin (from blowfish) that is lethal in miniscule doses which wouldn't necessarily be tested for (especially with the Ceretin overdose staring you in the face). We don't know much about Ceretin and the symptoms of overdose, so it's possible that the damage caused by a neurotoxin like Tetrodotoxin could be the same as a Ceretin overdose. Since Tetrodotoxin is an organic toxin, it would be undetectable if fully metabolised as well.

Think tetrodotoxin is unlikely - it's quite a polar molecule and iirc it doesn't pass the blood-brain barrier. It works by stopping your nerves conducting, but doesn't affect the metabolism of the nerves per se. So although it may well paralyze you completely (and hence you'd die because you couldn't breathe) it's unlkely to produce the kind of necrosis we're trying to explain as it doesn't kill the nerves, just makes them not work (and I'm pretty sure it doesn't get into the brain itself ).

I like Centipede's idea. I'm sure there's a ton of potentially deadly, difficult-to-trace chemicals lurking in Perplex City's fauna. The only thing is, with so much Ceretin in his system in so many places (eyeballs?) it had to have been ingested at least several hours before death in order to circulate, even if it wasn't the cause of death. Maybe just something to paralyze him, then force-feed?

My vote: Miranda seduced him (ergo no pants), slipped him a tranq, maybe a neurotoxin, then stuffed him full of Ceretin til he popped. A 3P cleanup crew then arrived and set up the suicide props. Maybe that dark liquid in his stomach was a glass of wine?
