[for O. Monarch]
[Found on Orin's desk on Monday morning, in a sealed manila envelope. Inside, there is a flash drive and 2 stacks of paper, each clipped by a black binder clip, two post-it notes on top.]
Info and specs are also on the flash drive.

and on the second:
I may know someone who knows someone at Sparke. No promises. -W.
[The top stack is comprised of printouts of an arrow prototype with a liquid storage and delivery system within the shaft. Later pages show how the pressure of impact will deliver a specific amount of liquid down a groove in the arrowhead. It shows that the delivery device is adjustable and the reservoir can hold more than one delivery. Two arrowheads are shown, one small for easy "removal", and one wider and barbed. Later in the stack is an appendix of possible poisons and paralytics that could be used, noting different strengths and times to effectiveness. Each section of research (arrow reservoir, delivery device, arrowheads, and poison/paralytic) has the ID code of a different employee/section of the research department. No one person worked on the entire thing other than Will.]
The second stack is considerably smaller and is simply photocopies/scans from a grid-paper lab notebook, the handwriting matches that on the post-it notes. There are notes, obviously jotted down with little regard to neatness, even though everything is still extremely legible and fairly organized. There are notes on different metals (each metal with its own page), annotations regarding weights, density, and malleability. On the sixth page, there is more writing than on others, this time with notations about different publications with titles alluding to the poisonous nature of the metal. The page is tagged by a single post-it flag, bright and with an arrow pointing at the name of the metal.]
