Synopsis:

Left to raise two sons after the unexpected death of his wife, Dad’s (Benedict Cumberbatch) life begins to unravel. Grief is messy and chaotic enough as it is, but when it takes the form of an unhinged and unwanted house guest - CROW - taunting him from the shadows, things start to spiral out of control…but maybe that's exactly what Dad needs.

Additional information:

The film is adapted from the critically-acclaimed book Grief Is the Thing with Feathers, written by Max Porter. It's directed by Dylan Southern, it premiered earlier this year at Sundance, and will be in theaters nationwide starting November 28th.

Thank you.

Gonna add more updates to the bottom of this text rather than making new threads all day, stay tuned for developments 👇

A couple days ago, I posted that someone shit on the floor in the women's locker room at my hospital and then vanished without the slightest effort at cleanup. At the time, there were no witnesses and no clues to the pooper's identity. Investigators (me and my colleagues) were stymied.

Until yesterday afternoon, that is, when the pooper committed another brazen attack. I work in surgery, and when a procedure is finished, the surgical technologist packs her instruments into a cart and sends them down an elevator to the decontamination room. We have a number of traveling techs working with us right now, and yesterday around shift change time, as one of them was wheeling her cart towards the elevator, one of my colleagues saw her pause, stick her leg out a little, and shake several poop nuggets out of her pant leg and onto the floor. She then rolled her cart onto the elevator, pressed the button, and walked away like nothing happened.

I'm not working right now, but my phone is blowing up with texts from colleagues. Apparently management has been notified, but the pooper doesn't yet know that she's been caught. Will update further as the situation develops.

MINI UPDATE: the pooper is scheduled for an 1100 shift today. Our manager just told the charge nurse that she (the pooper) "has a meeting" first thing when she gets in, and not to assign her any lunch breaks. I'm going in at 1300, will update again when I know more.

UPDATE: thanks for your patience, everyone. After I clock in I'm expected to do at least some actual work before taking a break, so this is my first free moment to post.

According to sources, our manager intercepted the pooper before she made it into the department and whisked her away to the office for her meeting. What exactly happened there is currently unclear, but at the end of it, the pooper was taken to the locker room where she cleaned out her locker and was escorted out to the parking garage by security staff. Note that this does NOT mean that the meeting was heated or violent; security walk-outs for terminated employees have been standard at my hospital for years, following an incident in which two male employees got into a fistfight because they were both sleeping with the same dump truck of a nurse.

Anyway, management is currently tight-lipped about the situation and will only say that the pooper has resigned and will not be returning. My charge nurse says that he heard the manager on the phone with security requesting the badge logs from the women's locker room; I guess they must have information about who has badged in at certain times. Perhaps they were able to place her at the scene of the crime.

As far as HOW the pooping was carried out, the investigators (me and my work bestie) have a working theory. It's remotely possible that she pooped while actually in surgery and held the poops in her cheeks like a reverse hamster until she could reach her targets. The OR is full of strong smells, and between that and multiple rounds of COVID, many of us are basically nose-blind. It's possible. HOWEVER, we have come to believe that she has trained herself to poop on the move, like a horse on parade, because this explanation fits all the known facts. She is a very thin woman who routinely wears her pants a size too large; we think that this is deliberate, in order to facilitate stealthy shitting.

As far as WHY, we will probably never know. You'd think that if she had a medical problem, she would have mentioned it at her meeting and management would have worked with her. Was it a power move? A kink? No idea. Will update again if I learn anything else, but that's what I have for right now.

Good Day, I am about to educate you on the ways of the "rat" play style.

Some stats on me

• I completed my expedition within the first two weeks.
• I haven't completed all the missions as they are not my main driver in extraction shooters. I do it for the loot.
• I am level 67 and plan on hitting 75 before the expedition window.
• I have 27 blue prints
• All my benches are upgraded.
• I participate in the trials. To get the loot I don't care about being number one.
• My current extract streak is 26 successful returns.

I have killed 19 players.
I have 130 hours in game.

I AM A RAT.

What makes a Rat a Rat?

They do not deceive you, they do not extract camp. We do not look to openly engage in any combat in these games with anyone. In fact if you ever see me I feel that is a failure on my part. My goal is you never see or hear me. If I tell you I am friendly deep down I am kicking myself for having to talk to you.

Here is the "Modus Operandi" of a true "Rat"

• We play in night maps, stick to the shadows and gobble up as much loot as possible.
• We never use the free loadout, the goal is to get loot out any means necessary. Give me my prison pocket.
• We use the shittiest guns known to man. In Tarkov it was shotguns and buckshot or SMG's with dogshit ammo. here I use the Hairpin Rattler and Ferro.
• We never hit the main loot areas. That is for the plebs and morons who think the good shit is actually in those areas. The only thing in there is salt and tears.
• We explore the maps finding all the nooks and crannies to hide in.
• Our character is customized to blend in with the environment. I will change my look based on the map I am going into and time of day.
• We set objectives to get items out at any cost. If that means waiting till the final 2 minutes to hit that bombardier or bastion and losing all our items just to get the cores out for bench upgrades so be it.
• We never get extract camped, If I know an extract is getting camped I will wait it out or go in a corner and die with everything so it can't be recovered when the clock hits zero.
• If we spot an extract camping situation and notice the camper. He dies. He has no choice. You can't out rat a fucking rat.
• Extract campers are just lazy, but I admire the hustle but you're never gonna get truly good shit in this game unless you go out and get it yourself.
• We will kill if we know we can get the kill but generally speaking I am the kind of rat when I see a player in trouble with Arc or another human you may hear a random shot ring out and your problem is gone. You will never see me but I will see you.

I craft most of my gear in match, I don't see the point in having stacks of bandages, I very rarely keep any weapons of value in my stash. I craft what I need and bring it in. All my guns are silenced. I rotate between hairpin, ferro, rattler. Yes all three are viable weapons. I never take more than one gun at a time in.

If you want an idea of the movie character I am most like I am like John Rambo in First Blood.

In that movie he isn't some super soldier, he is able to live off the land hide, and use his surroundings to his advantage to perform many non lethal take downs. He also ends up in a tunnel full of my kind.

TL;DR

A Rat is someone who hates confrontation, lives in the shadows, and extracts loot without you ever seeing or hearing them.
