Case 1: Midnight Train Going Anywhere

### Case Briefing

Every new moon for the past 3 months someone has disappeared from the last BART train travelling through the tunnel under the San Francisco Bay.

Henry Fielding conducted some prior investigation and filed a report after viewing BART security footage before departing for unspecified reasons to Europe.

Local police are unmotivated to investigate these disappearances.

The Archives is extending a limited contract of employment to the following individuals in the resolution of the matter of these disappearances:

* Dana Hall
* Ace Winters
* Mal Rami
* Erin

Upon successful completion of the contract each (surviving) individual will receive payment of $100,000.

The next new moon will be on the third night of our investigation.

### Day 1

#### BART TAPES

We managed to both obtain a copy of the tapes from the night of the most recent disappearance as well as create an opportunity for Mal to hack into the BART system and download any security footage at his leisure. Upon reviewing the tapes from each of the three disappearances, we are able to establish the following common series of events:

1. All other passengers from the victim's car leave, either from the train or to another car, leaving the passenger alone
2. Camera feed cuts out for a moment
3. A second figure, apparently a woman, is briefly seen standing over the victim
4. Camera feed cuts out again
5. The victim and the second figure are both gone; the train car is completely empty, excepting in some cases belongings of the victim that have been left behind.

After observing the abandonment of belongings in the incidents we went to the BART lost and found and recovered a backpack belonging to victim 1: Bard Johann and a cellphone belonging to victim 2: Tonia Eun

#### CASA JOHANN

Ace Winters and Erin entered the home of Bard and Marika Johann. Bard has clearly been absent since his disappearance. In the medicine cabinet we find an off-label antidepressant he is taking that has been prescribed by Dr. Evalina Sophia.

In his backpack and in his office are numerous notebooks of handwritten computer code excerpts apparently transcribed from his contracting work (potentially for corporate espionage?)

We later return and speak with Marika and confirm that Bard has been missing. Marika tells us that Bard has always been very anti-social and a bit of a shut-in. Prior to his disappearance she noticed that he had been missing his medication. We are given the impression that Brad may have been very lonely.

#### CASA RAMI

Dana Hall went with Mal Rami back to his apartment to further analyze BART footage and do some research on The Archives, Yvonne Skov, and Henry Fielding. Additionally, Dana messages The Midnight Society to ask if anyone has heard of similar train disappearance phenomena. Through that connection, Dana find an old video of a woman on a Swedish train disappearing after a man is seen very briefly standing over her that matches the modus operandi of our current incident. The woman who disappears from that train is potentially similar to the one briefly seen standing in the recent incidents.

#### CASA EUN

We all travelled to the home of Tonia Eun.
