"Another arson attempt? Are you sure it wasn't just tilbur setting himself on fire to see what would happen?" She threw herself on her bed.
"..."
"I know, they're too similar to discount, two different fire-related events in a single week?"
"..."
"Wait... do you think Tilbur is the one who carried out the arson attempt on the Rec center?"
"..."
"Yeah! That's certainly a solid lead. I say we do it. I just got some new recruits to help us out too. We're getting to the bottom of this for sure." She hung up and grinned. Perhaps the first meeting would be sooner than expected.
...
A tall woman wearing a purple suit and sunglasses stepped out onto the roof, holding a briefcase. She walked over to the professor and his concerned students. "Good afternoon. Sorry to meet you all on such... unfortunate circumstances. This may not be the best time I'm afraid but," She held up a badge bearing the Pharaoh's insignia. "I'm here on official business. So if you don't mind I'd like to ask a few questions of you all, considering you were eyewitnesses."

"Heeeey, how did you get up there? The roof's triangular, there's no access from the stairs!"
Rick nudged her with his elbow. "Don't question her, she has a badge from the Pharaoh..."
"...Oh. Right." She raised her voice again. "Uh, nevermind! Anyway yeah, we've got plenty of time before next period. What do you need to know?"

"I don't mean to take up too much of you all time. Could you tell me what started this fire? If any of you saw of course. I don't want to badger the professor, seeing as he is slightly incapacitated."

Rick looked down, paused, and then looked back up at the woman on the roof. "I, uh... I think the professor started the fire."

"Well then," She paused. "I'm sure I'll get the opportunity to speak with the professor then. Thank you." She walked back over to the far edge and swung back down through a window she had opened.

Lori Lockhart
Lori was passing the time doodling in her journal while sitting on a bench, as she didn't have any classes until the afternoon. Her phone started to buzz in her pocket, prompting her to check what was up. There was a text from Red.
EMERGENCY MEETING! ALL INVESTIGATION PEEPS MEET ME IN BREAKOUT 404 IN THE LIBRARY. ASAP!!!!
She noticed that she also received an e-mail stating the exact same thing. Huh. I wonder what's the big deal? Puzzled, she texted back 'on my way' and made her way towards the library.

Hera Katsaros
So much paperwork... Hera was half-asleep scanning and signing yet more papers Tahkata International Bank had sent her way. As if there wasn't enough stuff she was dealing with right now, Touma Tahkata, CEO of Tahkata International Bank and Kirin's father, had only recently warned her of a "safety inspection" presumably required by the government. She knew a governmental inspection usually meant more than was initially indicated just as much as Touma Tahkata did. She had already reorganized her papers and hand delivered certain more confidential business agreements to Touma himself. Or rather, she had Kirin deliver them.
Kirin... Even though she had suggested it, she didn't enjoy the forced distance between them. Most of all she missed having Kirin as a friend... It had become strictly business between them. It was how it had to be, but that didn't mean that was how she wanted it. Balancing business, publicity, and relationships is far too complicated for my tastes. She took a sip of coffee as she had been the entire previous evening. After all, she still had a statement to write.
"Aaron."
"Yes, Miss Katsaros?"
"I need you to send out a mass email to all of our workers and volunteers. I need to clear up a few things, so I want to have everyone together for a group discussion sometime this evening."
"Of course, how does 7pm sound?"
"Perfect."
"Is...uh... Kirin Tahkata still volunteering with us?"
"...No. However, I will reach out to him personally. This directly concerns him."

“Well, at least that’s settled...” As soon as she sat back down on the bench, she received a message on her phone. “...Huh. Investigation Club’s meeting early? I wonder if it’s about that other arson attempt...” She leapt back to her feet and made a dash for the library. “I’ll catch up with you later, Rick!”

Akhim Sabalani
Akhim was sitting in math class, doing the problems Mr. Lanux had said to do when he could feel his phone vibrate. He discreetly checked it under his desk, wondering who could be texting him right now. His eyes widened upon realizing that he was being called to the University. But should I go? he wondered. Akhim knew that this seemed urgent, but he also knew that he had his classes at the High School. However, he didn't have anything he liked at Scheherazade High that he liked for the rest of the day, so what did he have to lose?
"Excuse me, Mr. Lanux, but I need to be dismissed to go to the University now."
"You do? For what, Mr. Sabalani?" his teacher asked, looking up from some test papers on his desk.
Akhim showed him the text he had received, pointing out that it was from a club administrator at the University. Mr. Lanux skeptically agreed to let him go, and Akhim quickly gathered his things and headed to the transport station, hoping he wouldn't be too late.

Nina Sylvanius
Definitely not a Thursday. Must be a lead on that last fire or maybe even another fire. I wonder how much it would cost to freeze a building instead. I guess that wouldn't do anything and it's not very tasteful. Water damage from pipes maybe? Hmm...
Nina wandered upstairs towards room 404 with her bag in tow, wondering where a water pipe breakage would cause the most damage to the university.

Red
"Hey hey, get in here." Red corralled everyone into the breakout room, where she had dragged several extra chairs and set them up to face the whiteboard, which already had some diagram on it.
"Alright, so you all saw the news today right, Professor Tilbur was on fire in his office and then on the roof of the 10 building. There is no way this isn't related to the incident at the Ram center. I for one, from what I have gathered, believe that there is a plot against the staff in retaliation for the rules changes last year by students gone rogue, but we can't just make wild assumptions, so we need to put our heads together and come up with a game plan. Let's get some ideas in the air!" She pumped her fist.
