[ That doesn't help context at all but, frankly, this isn't the time or the place for it. She absorbs what the information tells her, at least, about tape records and Martin. And when the door opens, she reaches out to grab Jon by the shoulder before he goes too far. She just wants a moment to figure out what's down here.
The morgue is clean. Pristine, actually, but it just adds to the dichotomy of the city in general, the black and white stark in contrast. But she hears someone doing...something. It doesn't sound like an embalming machine, like the one she's used to. It sounds like the soft clank of metallic instruments, like surgery.
Her vision shifts to Auspex and she moves just a little ahead of Jon to get a good look at who all is down here. Just humans, she realizes, but one is moving...and one is not. The second person isn't even dead, not entirely, not yet--
And the blood she smells is fresh. Warm. It hits her and stirs her stomach, makes her half-ravenous. She should've eaten, she realized but she'd...just had blood before meeting Jon, and she shouldn't be this hungry, but she is and she doesn't understand it. She blinks away Auspex, turning her head away, trying not to alert Jon too badly. With a gesture of her hand, she indicates he should be quiet as they approach. ]
