The Investigation

The Investigation is a detective arc in the Expansion Era about the disappearance of Tad Seeth and Brisket Friendo.

Background

During the Coffee Cup, Fans were introduced to two new players, Liquid Friend and Uncle Plasma of BC Noir, both with the Hardboiled modification. Heavy FC defeated BC Noir 3-0 in the first round.

The Season 12 blessings on offer included Uncle Indemnity and The Big Sip, which allowed teams to recruit Plasma and Friend respectively. The New York Millennials recruited Plasma to their rotation, and the San Francisco Lovers recruited Friend to their lineup.

A Disappearance

On Gods' Day of Season 13, Brisket Friendo of the Kansas City Breath Mints and Tad Seeth of the Charleston Shoe Thieves disappeared from the Blaseball website, and gained the Redacted modification. The Boss briefly appeared to ask Where'd you go, Friendo? In Plasma's Feed under "Special," "Where'd you go, Friendo?" appeared, and in Friend's Feed under "Special," "Bad Beat, Tad Seeth". A followup from The Commissioner indicated that a missing persons report had been filed, and that "Ownership has enlisted the help of two top-tier investigators and assures no expenses spared."

A Hunch and Two Crime Scenes

On Season 14, Day 99, Plasma and Friend were named MVPs, gained the Ego+ modification, and in their Feeds, the text "Uncle Plasma/Liquid Friend had a Hunch..." appeared. During the Season 14 elections, The Meadow and The Choux gained the Crime Scene modifications. When a Hard-Boiled player plays at a Crime Scene, they will Investigate.
