You must be incredibly careless if you cannot handle human remains without tripping.

[BRENNAN...]

[aroundthecoroner]

[FAIR...]

If it's any consolation I was very sorry about it? It was an accident.

[notimpervious]

I imagine you were. You could have damaged the remains.

[She typically thinks of remains as evidence, so...]

[aroundthecoroner]

It's nothing that didn't get fixed before the funeral.

[Shrug.]

[notimpervious]

I once attended a funeral where I determined that the deceased had been murdered. I did this by adjusting the flower that had been placed on his suit and feeling that his ribs were cracked, which does not typically happen when a person suffers cardiac arrest.

[She's trying to be funny...]

In any case, the damage done to the remains might have been covered up, but it can never be erased.

[aroundthecoroner]

It happens if they do an autopsy. The, uh, the rib cracking thing.

[Whatever he doesn't know your life!!!]

But yeah, I get your meaning. Lesson learned, and anyway I don't work in the mortuary business anymore.

[notimpervious]

No. That is not the kind of fracture I observed.

[Not knowing someone's life has never stopped her so really...!!]

You must have been a terrible mortician.

[Brennan..............]

[aroundthecoroner]

[He... isn't sure how or even whether to dispute that because it's not entirely unfair.]

I... never got fired?

[notimpervious]

I do not see how. Your superiors must have had a very low standard for quality.

[The sad thing is she's not trying to be mean here.]

[aroundthecoroner]

They... kind of did, yeah.

[Sorry were you expecting an argument?]

[notimpervious]

[People typically protest that...]

How were they still in business?

[aroundthecoroner]

[You will find Michael not to be the protesting type, Brennan.]

Not sure if they still are, to be honest. Never checked in after I left. But anyway, you'd be surprised what businesses get away with when everyone's too grossed out to keep tabs.

[notimpervious]

I would not be surprised. My job requires that I with human remains. Most people would rather I never mention it.

[aroundthecoroner]

Yeah, see. You know what I'm talking about. Mention dead bodies and nobody wants to hear any more.
