The Situation: A few weeks ago, we all received an invitation to come to a party at the school. Some of us met for the first time. Some of us have known each other for years. Everyone had a good time until we heard the alarm go off next door. When we went to check and see what had happened, we realized that someone had stolen a bunch of equipment from the science lab: 20 rubber stoppers, 12 beakers, 15 test tubes, 2 test tube racks, 2 test tube holders, 4 graduated cylinders, 4 petri dishes, a mortar and pestle, 5 funnels, 23 eye droppers/medicine droppers, 2 microscopes, a box of microscope slides and cover slips, a magnifying glass, a telescope, 3 pairs of tongs, a pair of safety goggles, a thermometer, 3 hot plates, and a Bunsen burner. The glass in the door was shattered and the door was unlocked from the inside.

Evil Plan Needs Money
Mrs. White. You are a very well-known doctor. Well-known for your bizarre experiments with human test subjects! You were kicked out of your company several months ago, in the middle of big experiment. If you can just prove your findings, you can get enough money to start your own lab. You went to university with Professor Plum.
Reverend Grey Cloud. You are a friend of the school’s principal and you have come hoping to find some sponsors so that your church’s school can keep its doors open.
Professor Plum. You are a retired professor hoping to get a job at the school. Your brother, Reverend Grey Cloud said that he could help you get a job here, but he was wrong. The principal rejected your application, and now you’re mad!
Ms. Pink Flamingo. You are a world famous top model. All men fall in love with you except for one man—Professor Plum. You have heard that he has been offered a job to work at the school as the science teacher. You are furious that he does not return your affection.
Mrs. Electric Blue. You are an amateur mountain climber and nature lover. You are married to a teacher at the school. You have recently discovered that the school has a plan to let the students dissect baby pigs in Biology class. You are outraged and will do anything to stop the dissection from taking place.
Colonel Mustard. When you were in the military, you discovered your true passion in life—food! You love being a chef, and you have offered to do the catering for the party because your wife is a teacher at the school. However, after all your hard work, you have found out that the school doesn’t plan to pay you. You will get your money back one way or another…
Mr. Orange. You are the school’s plumber, and you are tired of cleaning up after all of the students. They are sooo messy! The worse classroom of all is the science lab. It took you three hours to clean it today. If only there wasn’t a science lab…
