a few more bloodstain thoughts: Brenner / Test Room 2 edition
(this is an easier one and there's no crime scene pics, fear not)
TLDR; main takeaways: 1) the blood on Brenner is screwy and 2) there's possible evidence of two unknown players entering Test Room 2 while Brenner was unconscious
I don't get Brenner's shirt blood any more than I get One's shirt blood
sir, why and how are wounds on the right side of your face bleeding onto your left collar? you don't appear to be injured there. like at all.
"maybe it dripped when his head was turned-" he hasn't bled enough for it to even run down to his chin. also, he woke up like that.
he would've had to be vertical when these drips happened. but the door knocked him right down, and he hasn't stood up yet, and the blood is already there.
"what if those aren't drips, but transfer?"
ok sure. could be. he does hug Ten's bloody face, after all. that's a great way to transfer blood.
but he hugs Ten into his right shoulder. and, we see it doesn't transfer any blood.
but those stains are sooo transferry. suspiciously like he already did hug Ten on his left side when the blood was fresher. blood tracks down his face and dripped onto his chest would line up decently with the Brenner shirt blood.
no matter how you explain it, the events that put that blood on Brenner's shirt are missing.
and something about them both having blood on their left collar is. idk. I mean One's is spatter and Brenner's is either passive or transfer so they def happened differently but still. I'm itchy
whose blood is on the EEG machine?
obviously, somebody fell and hit the sharp metal corner of this EEG machine.
but we saw Brenner get hit straight on by the door. his face wounds should just be from the door. he didn't spin around and hit his face on this thing too.
arrow pointing to the corner that winds up with blood on it. just to understand its position in the room.
it's possible the door knocked Brenner back and the cart spun a little and he hit his head on that corner of that thing. but the back of his head isn't bleeding. his hair is white enough that we'd see it easily.
could be Ten's blood I guess, although he wasn't very directly in the blast path. I suppose the blood puddle under the EEG net is a vote for that - OOPS no, wait, we get a very good look at Ten's head and it's not bloody, nor is the back of his gown.
can that EEG tell us anything else?
the paper feeds out continuously, in fact it's still on and feeding out a flat line reading when Brenner wakes up.
we know it flatlines when you take the thing off your head.
I'll bet some smart person could take the rate at which that paper comes out and approximate how much paper is coiled up on the floor and do the monster math about how much time has elapsed. not me tho
I'd like to know another means of measuring how much time has elapsed. because according to the RR clock, 45 minutes pass between Brenner taking Ten for lessons and Brenner coming into the RR to say "what have you done". but that clock doesn't always tell the truth. so idk.
Test Room 2 and the cat room
there is that cage in the background.
and that is the same EEG as El's in the cat scene. like the exact same one, you can tell by these dings in the paint:
@henrysglock you've just been all over Test Room 2 - what do you think about this being the same room?
I mean, It's Not. the hallways outside these two rooms aren't remotely the same, and the whole s1 and s4 labs are wholly different. but I mean like, in a timelines way...? is there anything here?
(no point really, I'm just throwing things at the wall. I don't know why but I want this to be the room El drew)
Test Room 2 doorway blood stain
in pondering james' creature attack theory I was wondering whether I could blame the same impact that blew the door in for leaving that blood stain. in other words, could a creature have physically busted that door with a swipe of a bloody hand.
I'm gonna say no, separate event, because
the door looks bent in the middle (looks at the sparks fly off that center hinge), not so low to the ground. if force at the bottom blew the door off it wouldn't have flown in top-first when it hit Brenner
if the blood goes as far in as the stop moulding, it would have touched the door too, had the door been closed when that happened. I don't see any blood on the door
so this blood got transferred after the door was off.
I wanna know who or what was bouncing from wall to wall all down these halls sooooo bloody but not bloody enough to leave blood trails on the floor.
say you're mortally wounded and dragging yourself aaaggh down the hallway, leaning against the wall because you can't stand upright, and you pass across an open doorway - wouldn't you tend to kinda fall into it?
maybe no one slid across it. maybe it fits better with someone getting dragged into it, kinda like this:
of course then we're missing other evidence that should go along with that idea though (you'd think there might be bloody hand streaks on the floor; Ten's and Brenner's hands aren't bloody) (can I blame this on El's bloody hands?)
this other doorway-oriented bloodstain also looks like someone with bloody hands being dragged towards the doorway/into the room, but once again the dead occupant's hands are clean:
we know SOMEBODY entered Test Room 2 and killed Ten while Brenner was knocked out. but the killer wouldn't be the bloody hands person, because the bloody hands person was dragged in there against their will. the killer would enter freely, voluntarily.
so if those are hand-grab-smears on those doorways, that gives us TWO unknown entities entering those rooms.
why are there no footprints?
boy they really wanted me to see what it looks like for a demodog to bust down a metal door. and granted the prison door is probably a lot heavier than the lab door, but it took him a few tries and the door didn't seem to dent.
anyway going to get that gif to compare to the Test Room 2 door caused me to notice this demodog leaving its bloody footprints on the floor. Russian demogorgon also has very bloody hands and face after killing.
we can conclude from the massacre stains that at least one person, somewhere, is VERY injured and catastrophically bleeding. if I blame this on a creature, that means said creature is also very bloody. which made me realize I don't see any creature tracks in the lab.
this is not anti-creature-theory though, because there are other creatures besides demodogs, and because whatever dragged Billy didn't leave tracks, and because I also don't see bloody shoeprints even though we know there were many people present.
like, especially this splatter in the RR for which the easiest explanation is that somebody stomped in it. where did that person's next step land?
(lol 007 please come to a full and complete stop. you are dead.)
NOBODY stepped in ANYTHING? this feels staged. I mean, it is. but staged-by-the-lab or something too.
Bloodstain Pattern Analysis in Microgravity: A New Frontier in Forensic Science
Introduction
As humanity boldly ventures into space, forensic science is expanding to meet new and unprecedented challenges. One such challenge is understanding how bloodstain patterns behave in microgravity environments. This study, conducted by Zack Kowalske, George Pantalos, Abdulrahman Oleiwi, and Graham Williams, explores the dynamics of bloodstains in space, shedding light on crucial…
In the intricate tapestry of forensic science, Bloodstain Pattern Analysis (BPA) emerges as a crucial technique, illuminating the shadows of violent crimes with scientific precision. This analytical method transcends mere observation, enabling experts to interpret the silent whispers of bloodstains left behind. These crimson marks, each a piece of the puzzle, hold the potential to narrate the…
The wealth of crime scene investigation shows on TV can lead to delusions that one knows what goes on when the CSI team pulls up. With my combined knowledge culled from CSI (pick a city) and Dexter, I like to think of myself as an amateur forensic scientist, throwing around random facts about DNA evidence and blood spatter analysis. The real fact of the matter is I am next to clueless about the realities behind these fascinating subjects. The folks over at Forensic Nursing are doing their part to educate with todayâ??s infographic.
For any Dexter fans out there, this infographic breaks down what bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) entails and how it works. BPA experts can examine the blood left at a crime scene and pinpoint the date and time of the crime as well as the type of weapon, among other things. The infographic also details the types of spatter, and how the analysis is made. [Via]
(Sorry for the graphic quality. I tried posting it different ways and each came out looking like this)
Surely you've seen TV cops and forensic specialists come to all kinds of improbable conclusions about a murder based on blood spatter analysis. This infographic shows what forensic specialists can deduce from blood stains at a murder scene, and how this works.
One of my FAVORITE aspects of forensics. And not just because of Dexter. BSP (bloodstain pattern) analysis is so interesting and so fun. It’s an art in a science.
Blood flow is a function of blood pressure (and other factors). A vessel that has been completely cut will have less pressure than one that has only been partially cut.
Think about it in the same way as using a hose to water your lawn. If you partially cover the opening with your thumb, the water pressure is higher, thus coming out faster and further compared to an uncovered opening.
