Okay I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to this, I have had...a really jampacked last two weeks with work and it took some time to dig out my own thoughts on this and get back into game focus. It won't happen again!
2a. Ideally, what I had pictured was the place where it arrived, specifically to do some detective work. But I imagine that there might be a logistical problem to that. The place where it fell might also be ideal.
What Scott essentially wants to look for are clues to how the monster got here- its origins, in other words. Is it something somebody made, or did it come here from another dimension? With Kylo's report out it's clear that something funky is going on wrt its origin. His assumption will be either radiation accident, or intentional construction, in which case searching the sites for stuff that might lead back to something (some poorly stored radioactive waste, some left behind gear or trace chemicals from the clean-up that could be followed back to someone.)
2b/c. My poor academic little heart breaks to hear of this set-up. Corporate-driven research, the stuff of my nightmares.
If he can just use the plumbing aspect to ferret out/get access to those companies or labs directly in some way (as the on-site maintenance man or whatever) that would work for me.
But if it's not currently feasible to find the people specifically conducting the research on it right now for plot reasons...idk, this is where I'm stumbling a bit with what to do, so maybe you can help me figure out the right direction. Do those corporations/labs contract with people to do cleaning, or specifically haz waste/biological materials that would mean a third-party was involved in cleaning up chunks of monster or cleaning up those laboratories? (I'm asking because that's how we do it in my university- cleaning anything is outsource to third-party contractors so there's not a bunch of idiot researchers forgetting to take out their haz waste or doing something stupid with it. It's my understanding that this is industry standard, too, with corporate bio/haz research. So it'd occur to Scott to pursue this line investigation if possible.)
Also El is a peach. I'm pretty sure even Scott can manage to pull off coveralls.
3. Okay, this is all good information. I think Scott will stick to helping Morningstar for now, and then maybe transition to acting more on his own as he becomes familiar with the city or identifies some specific issue that he feels he has to address in costume.
Once again, I'm very sorry this took me so long to answer (I definitely should have hiatused these last two weeks.) Thank you for your patience.
