Right. So they'd heard his name before, but didn't have a description to match. She'd fix that.

Looking a little solemn, Alice walked purposefully over to the shelves closest to the door to the Death Chamber, lifting a brain cylinder from the top shelf, and carrying it back over to the others, setting it upon her desk with a BANG. Her shoulder visibly relaxing as she let go of the weight, Alice twisted around to address them once more. "This is the Brain of Mr. Caverly." she explained, gulping a little. Pity. "The body was "alive" after the feat of a brain transplant was attempted. However to some extent it wasn't. You can't see now, but many of the brain nerves were damaged during the attempt. The man died a month afterward." she paused for a moment, looking at the two others in the room. "It was determined he couldn't move because of the nerve damage. What we're going to try and figure out, is whether Frank had ... any thoughts after the transplant. To see if he could think while he was paralyzed or if Frank was completely and utterly brain dead." she explained, in the simplest way the could think of to do so, biting her lip slightly. Alice was nervous but...rather excited. "In other words we're trying to figure out if anything was thought by the brain recently."

"We'll need to invent a spell." she went on, "I have a vague idea of what sort of spell to base it off of. Are you guys familiar with the Prior Incantato charm?" she asked them hopefully.
