[OOMs:

Do YOU know what happened last night?

Abigail does, but she's disinclined to share with the troops.

[Not quite OOM: Last night Val did some thinking in her room...]

This afternoon it is a very different Val who sits munching on sashimi and sipping orangina. Not quite so overcome with grief, she is focused and distracted, scribbling furiously at a notepad.

She's expressed an intention to eat male swimmers. We'd like that not to happen.
Go swimming AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Then she leaves a note at the bar for the rest of Security:
