Group ICE - The tale of murders (First post updated)

[DrQuint]

Started in this thread

Someone is ordering z!F regulars to do evil deeds and even MURDER each other.

What does ICE mean? What is the plans of this freaky person?

And could YOU be involved?

What is going on?

The plot so far::
(The second post contains all messages sent to the users)

A group called ICE / Group 935, was sending everyone a bunch of cryptic, coded messages telling them to do heinous acts. A house was burnt, crimes were witnessed, three people were killed and several others are waiting for the right time to kill each other. At the same time, the same group was sending them messages to hide or keep each other safe.
As it turns out, after a while it is found out most of ICE is largely being manipulated by FACE - a mystical entity that calls the NULL MOON its home - after a member group ended up there by mistake in a incident two months ago.
One of the sane remaining members of ICE (now known to be called Seposita) is on the move behind the scenes, and the story is unfolding through use of messages being sent to the users.

After the story began, Seposita's very condescending assistant, code named Tortuga, goes missing. Sepo, too immersed in his scientific experiments,, managed to find the entrance to the Null Moon trough a cave filled with Null Crystals, and a spirally formation that acted as a gateway. There he met Tortuga, now his face twisted into a horrible spiral, acting as lord of the Moon. Sepo escaped the Null Moon by jumping on what appeared to be the crystals of the Null Chamber, teleporting to Zen Gardens.

We kept receiving transmissions from Group ICE's most current activity, which didn't stop because of this incident. We're presented to the concept of Negative Ghi, a solution to the problem that animated have become, and witness how the experiments involving it are a possible way Beenz gets infected by Face. Tesla is the character overseeing the experiment, a woman is a red labsuit. The labsuit wasn't always red.
Tesla is happy to know that Seposita accepted to be the lead of Group ICE after the previous one's death to a house fire (caused by yours truly, DrQuint), but she wasn't as delighted to hear he wanted to end all of the group's activities.

Seposita also explains his backstory in his journal. He had gone to the Null Moon once even before this more recent visit, but lost all memories of the event, and his mind is in a constant struggle against a face he sees whenever he closes his eyes. Also, something seems to have happened 2 months ago as he woke one day noticing time had slipped by. The rest of group Ice (Tesla) refuses to comment with him on the subject and we are informed they seem to be acting increasingly weird, specially after calling it time to end all of ICE's activities. Sepo is fearing for his own life, sending whatever messages he can to people he can trust.

There was a meeting appointed at Firday the 15th, on the Lighthouse in the hill.

The transcript of the meeting with Seposita. (uncensored version)

Seposita decides to act. To figure out what happened, he invades Tesla's office, and steals several of her recordings, sending them to us. These recordings have dates informing us of when each was made.

Quote:

"I have my hands on a few of Tesla's recordings. I could only snatch some before somebody knocked on the door. Beenz is still unconscious, and for my safety; I carry a gun with me at all times now. We must be careful with what we do for now on.
-Seposita"

Flashback: Tesla's PoV
The recordings indicate that Sepo was having a weird, aggressive behavior himself during the time his mind was "absent". The old leader's name is Lancaster, the person who kept the entire group on a strict regulation that yielded the recorded messages. First of Sepo's actions was to tell the whole group about the Null Cave and then he asked to speak with Charleznov, another scientist we're introduced to.
Tesla and Charleznov are working on other experiments when Seposita interrupts them both to inform them that two scientists in the group have died the previous day, murdered. The way he says it gives Tesla the suspicion that Sepo is the one responsible for the act. Attempting an interrogation, Tesla finds out that Sepo isn't the one responsible for the felonies, but he just knows when another murder will happen.
Tesla and Charle head over to Sepo's house in Towns to figure out what was his involvement with the murders. In there, Tesla find an assortment of items, all of these were items that were sent to users along with the messages. As she is wondering about this, she is ambushed. A woman with a gun. The woman doesn't threaten Tesla and instead informs her that Sepo can't be found anywhere. Tesla finds it in best judgment to leave. Charlez is nowhere to be found either...
Seposita calls Telsa. Tesla admits to barging into his place, but much to her bewilderment, Sepo tells her that the woman in that house was now dead. Tesla is horrified, but it only gives her more of a reason to keep looking for the truth. She has heard of someone who is suspicious, and decides to stalk this person.
Tesla's story is updated daily.

Meanwhile, in the present, Sepo makes his way back home. He claims that whatever was talking in his place wasn't himself. Also, he questions why Tesla is so nice to him considering all that has happened. Beenz is still unconscious, and he feels he needs to wait for her wake before running away from all of this. In the meantime, he stealthily steal Tesla's recordings daily, and brings them to us.
However...
He gets a message. From under his door, a letter comes in...

You know the purpose of group ICE, don't you?
-Yes, to risk our lives for science that helps humanity and...humanoids.
Good. Do you know what group nine thre-- ICE, is going through?
-Yes, Sir. A curse I believe. Blackouts to many researchers, sending cryptic messages and murderers killing innocent.
Very well. Listen, you'll get the position. Just..I need to know a few things.
-Okay?
Why do you want to join group ICE?
-Rings. You know how animated are formed, right? A rift with GHI, life energy. The bigger the rift, the more animated are made. So, every time you and I use a ring to end off the animated the rift gets bigger and bigger. Kill one gnome and two Garlics pop up. So, I want to create a ring that fends off animated and doesn't make the rift bigger.
Do you know the risks of searching for that?
-Yes. Negative GHI.
Very well.
-Sir..I hear assistants in group ICE are...killed frequently.
Yes. That is correct.
-...How did your previous assistant get killed?
I was recording something when he came in and informed me of a murder. He then pointed a gun at me and I knocked it out of his hand and shot 6 bullets at his head.
-Oh...
Don't worry. Just don't aim a gun at me.
-Yes, sir.
Interview's over. No need to make it a formal one, I just need an assistant.

*silence for about 5 minutes*

Here I am. This is the chamber where I touched the Swirl design. Medic, in the middle of this chamber there is a Swirl drawing. The closer you are to it; the looser your rings become. Back in August, when I touched this crystal I was teleported to somewhere...out of his world. Let's try it again.&

I can see Gaia from here. This place is also filled with Null Crystals. Last time I was here, I blacked out in just a few seconds of being here. I can see a path from here. I'm walking on it. This place seems to be exactly like The Null Chamber. I keep seing lights coming from Gaia to here. Could this be the Null Chamber?

I think I see someone...

--Sir, I must speak with you.
Sure, sit down. What is it, Tesla?
--We were studying the null crystals in your bag.
And you found...?
--We created negative GHI.
Excuse me?
--We finally found out how negative GHI is created. When somebody dies two types of energies are released: Positive GHI, the one our rings use to work and Negative GHI, it makes our rings become more dangerous. Now, Positive GHI is easily captured. Nothing but a body to be near it is needed. But to collect Negative GHI...
You need a null crystal?
--Yes. You need to keep a null crystal near the body the moment it dies. When the person dies and the Negative GHI is captured in the null crystal. If you focus the energy of a Negative Null Crystal on a ring that is thought to be fully developed it becomes stronger.
Removing the cap on our rings...but this doesn't help at all with the rift.
--But it does. Currently, only Positive GHI makes the rift bigger. Right now, your rings are positive, and when used release positive ghi. But if Negative Null Crystals are focused upon it then your ring starts becoming neutral. Only releasing the necessary energy to kill the animated and none to make the rift bigger.
My God...god job, Tesla!

Beenz

You hear the intercom:
"Beenz, please check in test room A2-C4"
You rush to the room. In there you find a man in formal white clothes and white hair. He seems to be missing a ring on his left ring finger.

"Please sit down" says the lady in a red labcoat...but you see bits of white where there is no red. You sit down and two men in nurse garb bring in a Black Null Crystal- you assume it's a Negative Null Crystal. The men's clothes are stained with blood. They place the crystal on the table which you are at.

"Hello Beenz, my codename is Seposita Penculum. It is nice to see you in person." says the man in white and sits down next to you. The lady in red sits on the other side of the table. Seposita seems to be staring at the lady in red a lot, with a nervous glare.

"My name is Tesla. I'm a long time scientist at group 935. Please give me your hand"

You do as you're told and she grabs the Null Crystal. "Seposita, start recording."
"Yes, Doctor." Seposita pulls out an audio recorder from his briefcase and starts recording.

Tesla grabs your hand and puts the Null Crystal above it. She touches the ring on your left middle finger with the Null Crystal. The Crystal starts to glow and is sucked into your ring. You feel energized, as if you had been given 10 cups of coffee. Tesla and Seposita stare at each other, smiling.

"Test phase one is a success. Time to remove the ring." Says Seposita. Tesla tries to remove your ring and succeeds. "That was fast. Now give me the ring, Tesla."

Tesla hands the ring over to Seposita and you stare at it. Your wish ring! It's not useless, although some close friend says it is. You feel uncomfortable as these two strangers 'play' with your ring.

Seposita places the ring on his left index finger and laughs. What is he thinking?
"Again, success" He comments and uses the ring.

"Seposita, try to remove the ring now." Seposita nods and tries to take it off.
"Seems to be bit tight." He tries and tries but nothing happens. You have an urge, though.

"Seposita, give me your hand" you say and he does as told. You remove the wish ring. You then try to remove his solar rays ring, which was next to your wish ring but with no success.

"Hm, interesting. Seposita, go to- oh wait. No authority in Group 935. I forgot. Beenz, put your ring on" You forgot about that.
You place the ring back on-
and black out.

What could have caused that, Tesla?
--I don't have a clue. Seposita, you usually don't care what happens to test subjects. What makes her special?
She...she has been taken over by it. She killed two people.
--Hm, she was controlled by the Face and she was outside of Group 935? That would make her...Number 2? 3?
Two. I feel she will be very important in this case.
--You think she will somehow help us in this case?
Yes. Tesla. I...I think I do want to lead Group 935.
--Oh? You finally change your mind? The rest of the Group will be satisfied. But nothing can be done now.
Why?
--We need to look further into this. Our safety is at hand.
Very well. But I'll make this the last case Group 935 will ever have.
--Sir, what did you say?
After this, Group 935 will be OVER.
--What?!
I'm sorry you didn't understand. I meant 14-22-5-18.
--But sir...our salary. Some of us have families. Hell, 935 is to help out everyone on Gaia!
Yes, but we haven't gotten anywhere, have we?

Today he came up to me and asked me what I think about Group 935. I denied to answer him. Something's wrong.
Nonetheless, I'm continuing my research with the animated.
*knocks on door*
Come in!
--Tesla, do you know where Charleznov is?
Yes, he called in sick today.
--Sick? Hm, I don't think so.
Well, maybe he just wanted the day off.
--I can only imagine why...well, thank you Tesla. I'll be at my quarters.
...Hm.. Let me call Charleznov...
Hello, Charleznov. Seposita just asked for you...what do you mean you don't want him to know where you are? Afraid he'll yell at you for taking the day off?....What do you mean he was being overly-aggressive yesterday?...Did you see him outside the facilities?....That's odd. He would usually avoid contact with people outside of Group 935. Don't worry Charleznov. I'll see what I can do.

"Seposita went somewhere yesterday and hasn't come back. Whenever a researcher doesn't check in after a trip, it alarms us. If he isn't back by tomorrow-
--Tesla!
Oh, Seposita. I was just thinking of you.
--Tesla. I must speak with you.
What is it?
--I found something extraordinary. A Null Cave.
What?
--A cave that resembles the Null Chamber.
Are you sure you didn't touch a Null Crystal by accident?
--No, I'm pretty sure it wasn't the Null Chamber.
Well, where is it?
--Er...
Well?
--I don't know.
What do you mean?
--Memory's fuzzy.
Seposita, stop fooling around. Have you reported yourself to Lancaster?
--No.
Seposita, what is wrong with you? Something's off.
--N-n-nothing's wrong.
If you say so.

"Yes, Charleznov. I'm starting to record, could you be a little bit quieter?
--Sorry, lady Tesla.
Thank you. So the Lawn Gnome should be here anytime soon. August 22 it says on the paper.
--Uh...Tesla. Today's 21.
What?
--Yes, today's 21 and tomorrow 22, and 23 comes afterwards.
Don't be such a liar. Today's 22.
--Why don't you check the bulletin?
No, too far away.
--Check your phone?
Oh, right...
s**t! Today is 21! What the f**k? I ended yesterday's transmission with 21.
--Calm down, everybody mistakes dates.
So I have to wait one more day for the Lawn Gnome? Dammit.
--Oh, Seposita just messaged me. He says he's coming here. Better get going.
Alright. So now that I know that I'm not getting the Lawn Gnome today, I'll be checking up on test subject: Cezare. I should get going before Sepo-
--Hey, Tesla.
Goddammit.
--What was that?
Nothing, nothing. What is it, Seposita?
--Two doctors were killed.
What?!
--Last night, heading to their houses.
Names?!
--Columbus and Dante.
What the ********? Seposita, how do you know of this?
--I'm guessing.
What the hell...
August....21.

"This is the last audio device I could get for today. It really worries me.
-Seposita."

You press the button:
"It's true. Seposita "guessed" correctly. Columbus and Dante are both dead. I knew them well, and they helped me out in various occasions... Seposita really worries me now. He "guessed" the murders of two fellow doctors. How did he know? Was it him? I just called him in, and he's on his way here.
*2 minutes of silence*
--Yes, Tesla?
Sit down, Seposita.
--I feel hostility. But I'll sit.
How did you know Columbus and Dante were dead?
--As I said: I guessed.
Don't ******** with me! How?!
--Calm down! I had a feeling something would happen!
Oh really? Was it you?!
--No! You know I spent the night the murders happened here working!
...Alright, let's say you did "guess". Why didn't you tell anybody?
--Nobody would believe me. Let's say I told you that Lancaster's house would burn tonight, would you believe me?
No, I wouldn't. But...
--But what? I didn't do anything.
Yet you don't mourn their loss?
--I never collaborated with them.
You sicken me, Seposita.
--I don't have to waste my time with you, Tesla.
No! You stay here!
--For what? For you to harrass me more?
Damn you!
--What's wrong with you!?
Charleznov told me you spoke with someone outside of Group 935!
--And there is something wrong about that?
You hate interacting with people outside of Group 935.
--I'm leaving. Go perform your experiment on that Lawn Gnome.
Fine.
*door closes*
I will be postponing the experiment with the Lawn Gnome. My only concern right now is Seposita. He doesn't convince me he didn't do anything with the murders. I'll be in contact with Charleznov to keep an eye on him as his assistant.
--Tesla! Tesla!
Speak of the devil. What is it, Charleznov?
--Lancaster's house is on fire!

"I'm home right now. After analyzing those recordings from Tesla it's rather obvious that wasn't me taking. It was something else. But what happened now? Back then, Tesla reated me wit much hostility, now she doesn't. Well, she didn't. Before I told her I'm closing down Group 935 she would treat me so nice. Something happened that improved our friendship some time during those months.
I'm patiently waiting for Beenz to come back to consciousness so I can get her out of there. I didn't get the chance to visit her today. Only grab a few recordings and run.
I'll be doing the same thing tomorrow. Hopefully I'll grab more.
Hm? Somebody slipped a letter under my door.
'You still haven't gotten away from me'
That's all it says.
What the hell is this? Alright. Who, of all the millions of people or things haven't I escaped?
It seems I have a stalker now."
You press the button again and hear the faint sound of the Null Chamber.

"Everyone at Group 935 is here today to mourn Lancaster's death. Except for one person. Seposita. It wasn't him who burned the house though, he was here all day. Though I'm pretty sure he's working with someone and that someone burned the house down. I'm through with asking Seposita questions, it's time I figure things out myself. Charleznov, shall we go to the Towns?
--What for, Tes?
What do you think? Investigation.
--But..aren't we supposed to stay here for today?
Seposita isn't here. We should also pay him a visit.
--Tes, you can go. I'm staying here.
Ugh, fine. I'll be going there alone, at risk of being killed.
--You can't convince me.
Fine! See you tomorrow, I hope.
--Fine, fine. I'll go.
Ok. Good. Now let's go before anybody calls us."

You press the button again

"Alright, you knock.
--You're the one that wanted to come here. YOU knock.
Alright, alright. *knocks on door* Answer the door! *knocks on door* Seposita! Open up! *knocks on door*.
--I don't think anybody's home.
Or he's being doing something he shouldn't.
--Let's go, Tes.
No, wait. You wait out here. I'm going in through the window.
--No! Wait!
Sorry!
Okay...let's see...hm. Oh, not a very careful person, are you; Seposita? Leaving the living room window open. Idiot.
Huh? What's this? A mask...a sharktooth knife, a first aid kit, a golden lighter, a hammer, a chisel, an axe and a pair of white gloves? There's a note next to the axe.
'I lose control'.
What could- footsteps. s**t. That walking pace...Seposita! s**t, s**t.
August, 23
Nine three- ********" "

Quote:

"Yesterday I broke in Seposita's house. I found a random assortment of items on a desk. Next to an axe I read a note 'I lose control' I believe is what it had written. I then heard footsteps and turned around. I found mysel looking at a woman with a gun in her hand. She didn't aim at me, though. She just told me to get out as a tear ran down her face. Was I even at Seposita's house? Yes, I was. I'm pretty sure of it.
Seposita isn't here today either and he isn't answering my phone calls. There's something even worse than this, though. Charleznov wasn't waiting for me, he isn't answering his calls either; and isn't here today. Now that Lancaster isn't here I have postponed all my research just so I can get to the bottom of this. Something very bad is happening to Group 935, and it's all Seposita's fault.

"I'm on the search for a witness for when that house burned down. He or She, there must be one. I've asked the residents of the area of any suspicious activity but they said they didn't see anything. Oh? I'm getting a call...
Hello, Seposita. Where the hell have you been?...What?...No, I didn't....I swear! I didn't kill anybody!...Yes, I entered your house, and yes; I expect you to believe me. Look, It wasn't me....No, I can't proove anything....Listen! I was yesterday searching for a witness of the house burning down! Nothing else. Not killing women in your home...I'm sorry for your loss, Seposita...really? You're coming tomorrow? Great. See you tomorrow.

Great, so now the woman I found in Seposita[s house?] was killed. Death left and right. Who the hell is doing this? Anyway, as I was saying. Residents in the area said they didn't see anything, but I have a lead. There's this person that keeps coming back to the area. Of what I know, that person doesn't live there. I'm trailing that person today. I'll record whatever happens today tomorrow.

"Alright, I started. Seposita, are you feeling alright?
--....
Seposita, mind telling me who she was?
--...
Sepo, please.
--She was my sister.
Good God, you still have a family?
--Well, not anymore.
That's news to me.
--Rather insensitive, you are.
Sorry, Seposita. But I have very little pity for you.
--Have you lost your heart?
Looks like the shoe's on the other foot.
--What do you want to ask me?
What's going on? All these things happening. You seem to be related to them in some way. I also found a note in your house that said something like 'I lose control'. What's wrong, Seposita?
--...
Speak to me!
--I don't know. Tesla, I honestly don't know.
Don't give me that bullshit. You obviously know something.
--Fine. Tomorrow, I'll show you everything I know.
Oh? That was rather easy...
--Would you rather have me to *not* tell you anything?
No, no. Sorry, Seposita.
--Right, well I'll be with Charleznov.
Uhm...
--What?
Nothing. Forget it.

"--Alright, Tesla, we're here.
Why here? The house is nothing now. Everything in there is destroyed, right?
--That's not the point.
Then what is it?
--Have you noticed a strange person stalking this area? Someone that doesn't live here?
Yes, I have. What do you know about him?
--Well, for one: It's a she. And second, she burned the house.
What?!...Okay, I need to calm down. So..she burned the house down, and she stalks the area. What for?
--I don't know. But..
We have to get her. Is she related to Dante and Columbus' death?
--Perhaps.
And your sister's?
--No. She shot herself.
Oh...
--There, everything I know.
And who was that person you were talking outside of Group 935? Be honest.
--My sister.
Really?
--Yes, really.
Alright, then. So why do we need to be here for you to tell me this?
--I was hoping she would be here. But she isn't.
Anyway, this makes her Number one.
--Yes.
Well, thank you Seposita.
--You're welcome.
Well, you gonna drive me back?
--No. Be safe.
Wait! Sepo! Stop pushing me! Hey! Fine! I'll get down!
--Go. Now.
What's wrong?

You notice the Audio devices are labeled with White magic-marker. You press the button on the one labeled "2" because you're a rebel.

"Ever since Seposita kicked me out of his car, I keep seeing this face whenever I close my eyes..I'm getting some nasty headaches, too. s**t, I'm feeling nauseous. Ugh, it smells like rotten fish. What the ******** is happening to me? Anyway, I need to list my priorities now:

1. Investigate on this person that burned the house. Note: Find out how the hell Seposita knows this s**t.
2. Find out what actually happened to Dante and Columbus.
3. Find Charleznov.

Going to start with investigating on that person...ugh. Don't feel so good.
