I’ve been leaning that way as well, @mkarrett. As you say, it could have been a clean up crew working VERY quickly. Or it could have been an experiment for one more piece of data. Killing off employees is generally frowned upon, even if you are going rogue as Michelle seems to be doing. Of course, I want to believe this just to ease the pain a bit. The only thing that gives me pause is how Simon was acting that final evening. He knew the end was coming. If this was a final experiment, he certainly wasn’t in on it.
