I'm not drawing any conclusions. If only every murder could be solved as easily as that.
No, but think about it. That container is filled with scratches, and it's been torn apart. That's not easy to do, and it's clear we're looking for something strong here. If there was something inside, it's an unauthorised presence, and we'll need to find it.
And given that, an unauthorised presence appearing at the same time as two of the crew are found dead is not a coincidence I'm happy living with. Are you?

[ Now isn't that a leap and April's eyes widen just a little. ]
Two dead already?
[ she whistled ]
That must have been some party indeed.
[ she paused ]
Just kidding. [ casting a glance towards the container, she did frown, however, and a little of her lackadaisacal attitude shed a layer. ] Did we ever hear whether those scratches were on the inside or the outside of the box?
((ooc: laugh, I figured that's what happened, but what's fudging the details a bit anyway?))
Perhaps someone decided they'd just like a souvenir. If they called the place home, they probably didn't want to leave a shred of it behind for us to ogle.
[ and steel splinters are quite handy to have when revenge is on the mind. Poor things probably didn't have a clue they were about to be stuffed inside a box and left to rot. ]

[ because like he said, why assume? ]

The ones I saw were inside. Though, with half the container missing, there's no telling what was done to the rest of it.
[ Though, how it could just disappear is a question in and of itself. It's not as if the missing piece is small. ]

They must have forgotten the other half of it, then. Perhaps we should leave it where it is, in case they decide to come back for it.
