A diplomatic spaceship speeds his way through the hyperspace, its crew and passengers unconscious in the cryogenic sleep, unaware of the terrible fate that looms upon them.

You are Tiak Balint, and you are the Head of Security of this diplomatic spaceship, the Sparrow 12. Said ship is on route from the Orbital Interception 46f to the planet Tinosa II, transporting passengers of Diplomatic Class 2. As part of your job, you must keep the crew and the passengers under control and prevent any trouble, act of violence or sabotage during the journey.
Which feels like it's going to be pretty boring, as most of the people in the ship will remain in cryogenic sleep during the three standard days that will take the hyperjump. Anyways, time to get to work. Tiak is still a bit disoriented from the sudden awakening. What should he do first?

You try to log on into the Ship intranet and database, but an error message pops up. Apparently the server is offline. This should not happen, you should talk with someone about this. Maybe the Head Engineer. Or even the Captain himself.

You take your reglementary weapon. It's an energy stun gun. It should be able to leave someone unconscious for 20 minutes or so, without damaging heavily the nervous system of the victim. Being a Diplomatic Class 2 flight, the passengers in the spaceship aren't too important. Just a step above the regular bureaucrat. So it's a job classified of minimum security. The weapons aboard are heavily restricted and no lethal weaponry is allowed on board.
The red, white and blue shield over the cabinet is the emblem of the Maurian Republic , your people. That cabinet probably contains reglementary security equipment. You wonder if you should take a look before heading away.
The other cabinet is just the fuse box for the automatic door and general electricity in your room. You feel like you shouldn't mess with that without a good reason.

Yes, that in the corner is a camera. You should be able to have access to the recordings of the many cameras installed in the ship. If only your terminal worked.
You open the Equipment cabinet. Inside you find your ID card. It should grant you access to most zones of the ship. There's also your PDA. It should contain useful tools, like a list of passengers, maps, notebook, clock, etc. Unfortunately, most of those services will require a connection with the main server , which is currently down. But it will probably still be useful.
And two servo-cameras. It's similar to the ones mounted on the walls, bu these ones in particular have micro-AG fields incorporated. You could program them to patrol certain areas of the ship, and they would send the recordings to the main server. Or even directly to your PDA, if you wish so.
You ponder about what to get, or if you should just get all the stuff in the cabinet.
>>
No. 193349 ID: 0b2a05

No reason not to take everything, right? Well, maybe you could leave one of the cameras. Hmm

so the servo cameras dont need the server to work properly? Take one with you and set one up in your room, or right outside in the hallway. Set them both to send recording data to your pda.
>>
No. 193359 ID: 732129

Set your servo cams up so that they're reporting to your PDA and use them to help you scout as you go around the ship. The mainframe being down is a bad sign.

You decide to keep the servo-cameras, but you still haven't decided to keep them both or place one in the hallway next to your room. As you suspected, most functions in your PDA are down with the mainframe. But at least the ETA countdown is still programmed.
...Wait a moment. You should've woken up 10 minutes after the hyperjump. But it's been 30 minutes, and you didn't take more than 5 minutes getting dressed and ready. What's the meaning of this?
Oh, and the door won't open. Great. This is starting to get weird.

You open the fuse box and... Dear god, what is this!? What a clusterfuck!
Ok, let's see... You can see the other side of the hallway. That means that the fuse box is also open at the other side. That's really weird.

Now... There's four cables, red, yellow, green and blue, attached to 8 different fuses... And it seems that you can only detach and attach the ones on the upper side. The ones in the lower side are fixed in place. One of the upper fuses has a drawing of a door made with chalk.
Ok, now what should I do? I don't think that I should try random connecting and disconnecting cables, this thing seems pretty unstable.

You decide to check your PDA. But unfortunately, it lacks a database in its memory, it relies on the mainframe to get all its data. You suppose that you could add that data manually if you had no other choice, but you think that it would be wiser to try to ask someone competent with these things before anything else.

>>193476

We have no tools for testing lines, so there's no telling what each of those is supposed to do. Fuseboxes normally contain breakers or actual fuses, not a bunch of shunts like this one. Unless the wires themselves can also serve as fuses, I guess. Maybe they have fuses built in. That'd be more expensive for a manufacturer, but if your electricians have a habit of sticking pennies in breakers then it'd make sense to force them to use fuses, like it or not.

You decide to check the other door in your cabin before doing anything else. It leads to the Brig.Here's where you should lock any dangerous individual attempting on the Sparrow safety. The room is divided by a force shield that can be activated and deactivated with the card reader next to it. There's also a cabinet in the wall, you aren't sure about what's in there.

Your PDA has enough battery for at least 4 hours more. And it can be charged in any outlet or terminal in the ship.

No. 193551 ID: 75a29c

Check the cryo tube in the brig to make sure it's clear. I can't see why the force field would be active if no one is in the brig.

That brig also doesn't seem very secure to be honest. If someone stood on top of the cryo tube then they'd be able to reach that vent and possibly escape though there. Keep this in mind...

Yes, it was the card reader that opens deactivates the force field.

You come back to your cabin, staring at the mess of cables that it's keeping you away from your duties. You have the suspicion that some of those cables must control other devices in your room.
Anyways, so can try to solve this mess, or stick one of the cameras through the cables and try to do something helpful with.
What will it be?

Yeah blue might be the door cable since the cyo pod uses the other 3 colours. Send the camera through first to see if there are any hints outside, just to be sure.

Tiak examines the cabinet where he found the gloves (which he's missing now too, and only now noticed). Seems that someone shut it with a heavy padlock.
Why?
Tiak gets closer to examine the object at the other side of the barrier. Its strange design doesn't fool you, it's a Sinarri Energy Tool . That thing can be used as a powerful metal cutter , or changing the frequency of the beam, a welder .
Too bad he can't reach it because the force field is in the way. And without his ID Card , there's no way to disable.

Tiak takes a careful peek at the corridor outside his room. Seems like the coast it's clear.
He decides to improvise a map in his PDA, keeping track of the different parts of it as he visits them. This should be the Fore Corridor of the Middle Deck . Time to get to work, and try to figure out what's going on in this ship, and maybe find someone with authority, like the Captain or the Head Engineer.

Those are cabins for the diplomatic passengers of the ship, who are the whole reason for this journey. They must be still enjoying the cryogenic sleep. The red light means that the door is locked, and can only be opened with the pertinent passenger's ID Card. Or with high clearance card, like the Head of Security Card.
*Sigh* If I still had it.
Even if he had his ID Card, Tiak would need a really good reason to get into a locked passenger cabin and get away with it.

>>198737

The key doesn't fit in this keyhole either. Too bad.

>>198741

Security cameras and ventilation shafts are two elements present in almost every room and corridor in the spaceship. The cameras should record anything happening in the area, upload the video to the mainframe and send it to your terminal, back in his room. But as the mainframe seems to be mysteriously inoperative, they're useless at the moment. Except for the AG Camera in Tiak's pocket, which can be programmed to patrol any area and send their reports directly to his PDA.
The ventilation shafts are part of the atmospheric and ventilation system of the ship, an arrangement of hollow tubes going through all the vessel and connecting it to the atmospheric and recycling tanks in the lower deck.

Tiak decides to get himself a drink, but nothing too strong, he needs to stay alert. A sweet wine of Veridrazt will do.

That door goes to the Evacuation Pods. The sign says (In Maurian signs) that it will only open if the Emergency Protocol is activated.

Tiak steps into the elevator. Unfortunately, he doesn't' have much choice about where to go. The Upper Deck, where the Bridge and the Officer's rooms are, can only be accessed by the ship's crew, using their ID Cards in the slot at the control panel.

So he can only go to the Lower Deck. The last option in the control panel, the Zero Deck is locked with a special key. Only the captain should have a copy of said key, so the zone is completely off-limits.

Tiak adjusts the intensity of his stun gun to maximum. It's not going to kill anyone, but it should stun and knock down the victim faster. Of course, that will also consume a lot more energy.

The elevator doors slam after Tiak, providing the only sound in this desolated room. While trying to decide the next course of action, he wonders where's the rest of the crew, he should have seen at least one of them by now.

Situation Diagnosis: Can't see shit

The power in the Engineering areas seems to be down. As Tiak slowly peeks through the door, the only source of light, besides the gap he's opening, is the reflection of the powerful Hyperjump engines over the railings, coming from the floor below. Looking directly at those things could permanently blind someone.

The engines are also the source of a pretty loud and obnoxious noise that muffles almost any other sound in here.

The door takes Tiak to another corridor with a heavy metal door locked shut, and a fork, with a descending ramp. The ramp would take him to the hyperjump engine level. Nobody would be able to survive there without the proper protection. So there isn't much to do but keep running forward.

Gotcha!

It's a Maurian, like Tiak, but a surprisingly short one, wearing some kind of jumpsuit that Tiak hasn't seen before.

Tiak takes a moment while talking to set up a floating camera in the corridor behind him, night vision mode and movement sensor activated. If anything moves back there, it'll send a signal to his PDA.

Well, as the Head of Security of the ship, following suspicious people is part of my job.

Running away from me was pretty suspicious, indeed. And what's with the suit?

Would you mind taking off the helmet at least? I've had bad experiences with weird suit-wearers recently.

It's still to dark to see what's inside the cabinet in this room, other than clothes. But Tiak is sure that there's nobody hiding inside.

Tiak looks down the ramp, but has turn his face away from the intense glowing. There's no way anybody could go down there, even get close to it, without the proper protection.

Wait... How long have you been hiding behind the pipes?

Tiak retrieves the servo camera he left patrolling the area. It hasn't registered any movement or presence.

What Tiak took first for clothes, and secondly for his mysterious attacker is no other thing than a Hazard suit, identical to the one the aggressor wore. Next to it there's an empty space with an empty coat hook. Something is missing, and Tiak has a good idea of what it is.

Indeed, the suit is pretty heavy and bulky. Not coming up with a better idea, Tiak decides to leave it in the cabinet until he needs it.

With Zira he returns back to the entrance, and towards the elevator.

So... How do you like... the ship so far?

At first I would have said that it would be best to escort her back to her room, but under these circumstances the safest place she could be is on your side so if you're confident or not - try to communicate that to her.
If she absolutely does not want to, at least check her cabin and make sure nothing is wrong inside of it. Oh, you could hide that camera-thingy in there for for the sake of safety~ (pervert).

As for small-talk - ask her where she's from, who she's with...the usual stuff, I guess.

The content of the boxes is unknown to Tiak, as the seem to be sealed shut, and none of them has any labels.

The table is kind of a work bench. It has some tools on it, including a hammer and and some pliers. Also some pieces of metal, machinery and devices Tiak doesn't understand.

So... I still think that it's not really safe for you to be alone around here and that you should stick with me for the time being.

Tiak doesn't know why is she so tiny, it's something uncommon between Maurians. His last attempt to inquiry about the subject didn't really give any results.

Tiak rushes and peeks through the door, weapon ready. At the other side, a gruesome scene awaits him. The corpse of a rather overweight Maurian, laying on the floor, his head completely obliterated and splashed against the wall. The smell of burning flesh and metal is in the air.

Zira seems to be panicking and rushing towards the open elevator. She's really fast.

>Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!

No. 200360 ID: 5cc920

No, that's not good. How does she know whatever happened to the Maurian won't happen to her in the elevator or on another floor?

Follow her, be aware of your surroundings. Even if she's fast, the elevator doors probably won't close before you reach it.

We can examine the corpse and any clues later, but at the moment, as a security officer, you should do your duty and protect a passenger.

I have no clue, but wait, dammit!

She's fast, but the doors aren't so much. Tiak lunges after her and manages to squeeze his body through the doors, stopping them from closing. Zira looks frankly scared.

Listen, whoever killed that guy could be in any deck or any room right now, it's not safe for you if you just run away on your own.

Back into the room, Tiak notices that somebody took the broom that he left on the floor and also the mop in the janitor's cart.

Tiak takes a closer look at the corpse, while Zira waits close to him, clearly nervous.

It's a male Maurian, overweight and probably a bit older than Tiak. Wears civilian clothes, so he was probably one of the passengers, not a crew member. His head has been volatilized, but other than that, there isn't any other sign of injury or fight.

>What kind of weapon could've done that?

A very powerful one... That's weird.

Only a Heavy Energy Rifle or similar would've been able to cause such damage. A regular citizen shouldn't have easy access to that kind of weapon, being heavily Restricted army weaponry. It's bulky and heavy, and it should've been impossible to bypass the security controls at the space terminal to smuggle that kind of thing on board.

Not only that, but a Heavy Energy Rifle (or H.E.R.) is a weapon intended to be used against armored vehicles and structures. Nobody in their right mind would shoot one inside of a cruising spaceship.

The only reason the murderer hasn't tore open a hole through the hull of the ship, destroying everything in its way is because it's been shot against the wall separating the Engineering Area from the rest of the ship. Those walls are specially thicker and better armored than any other one in the ship, to protect the engines.

Still pondering about this, Tiak continues inspecting the corpse, trying to find any kind of clue.

No. 200533 ID: 6834bc

>>200527
Does the ship happen to have an H.E.R. in its armory? And since there's no hole in the ship, that means that whoever fired the weapon knew that the walls here were durable enough to prevent catastrophic destruction of the ship.

That means it's someone knowledgeable about this ship, or ships in general... and someone skilled enough with weaponry to use it properly. And if this ship has (or had) an H.E.R. in its armory, the person who has it now is... your mystery assailant.

Wonderful.

After the head was destroyed, provided that the shot didn't cauterize the wound, blood from the neck-stump would have been leaking out, wicking into the clothes, and generally making a mess as the body slid down against the wall.

It looks like the body may have been searched and rolled a bit. I don't think there was any staging beyond that.

The energy beam destroyed the head but didn't cauterize the wound. The corpse probably stood for a second and then collapsed on the ground, spilling blood everywhere.

But that doesn't explain the strange pattern the blood makes on the floor. It should make like a circle around the neck area.

>Maybe someone moved the corpse after it fell.

Hmm...That would make sense. Let me see... Yeah, his left side is smeared in blood, it's been dragged over it. But why?

>Beats me.

>>200533

The ship doesn't even have an armory, and for what Tiak knows, his stunner should be the only weapon on board. They have strict regulations about that.

He can't get off his mind the fact that whoever did this was either an insane individual without any concern about his own life, or, a person with enough knowledge about the ship to know that that wall would be safe to shoot.

Still, it's quite the coincidence that the victim was standing right in that convenient spot when the aggressor decided to murder him.

Tiak checks out the tag attached to the collar of the victim. It's nothing else than the label of the jacket, with instructions about how to wash it and all that stuff. Tiak realizes that, for some reason, the jacket he is wearing is turned inside out

Checking his clothes he finds a single ID card. It's the Card of his room. Number 4. This confirms that he's indeed a passenger. R. Mikos

No. 200747 ID: 701a19

>>200743
Wait, could you run that by me again? A corpse with no head has a picture ID card, and you think that's the corpse's ID?

The energy weapon probably would have cauterized the wound. The most likely scenario is that this person's throat was slit, then their clothing exchanged for what the killer was wearing. Then they were propped up and shot in the head, followed by the killer cutting off the burnt remains so no easily identifiable marks would be left.
Check room number 4 for any irregularities. There's a decent chance that's the killer's ID, but it's not certain.
Also? Find out what gender the real R. Mikos is.

If the real Mikos is still in cryo, you can give him his card back/leave it there. If not, you can search the place for clues or a possible motive.

Damn, we need access to the security systems and computers. Something like H.E.R. shooting should be tracable by the ship's sensors.

Tiak takes the jacket off the corpse and turns it the right way. The outside of it is surprisingly clean, not a single drop of blood on it. Other than that, no clues.

>Hm, why are you doing that?

It's all very suspicious, better check for any kind of clues before jumping into conclusions.

Could you use one of the cameras to obeserve the room? It's not very polite to leave the corpse like that, but at the moment, it would be more interesting to take a look at Mister Miko's cabin and see if there's still a breathing body in there.

Tiak knocks on the male bathroom door one last time and tries to reassure whoever may be inside.

Sir, I'm the ship's security officer, I was doing some basic investigation of a crime scene when you saw me, sorry if I startled you.

Still no answer.

Tiak shrugs and tries with the female bathroom. He gets equally no response after knocking, but the door is open and he takes a look inside.

The bathroom is empty, clean, and unequivocally unused. The paper bin is empty and the floor still smells of cleaning products.

Tiak closes the door and turns around to follow the south corridor when his PDA breaks the silence with a loud beeping.

Apparently the motion sensor of the camera he left in janitor's cart has been triggered.

A quick look at the screen confirms it, there's someone looking over the corpse in the previous room.

Zira disappears into her cabin and closes the door behind.

Tiak waits for any strange noise coming from inside. Nothing but silence. The doors are pretty soundproof, but it should still be feasible to hear loud noises through them, such as a scream.

A bit more reassured, Tiak tracks his steps back to the elevator, where he uses Trake's card to gain access to the Upper deck.
The doors open to a lobby identical to the one in the middle deck.

The coast seems clear and the Captain's quarters should be right ahead the corridor.

Tiak indeed left his remaining Servo-cam hiding in the janitor's cart, watching the corpse. After Trake left the crime scene to get to work, nothing has disrupted the peace of the dead.

Tiak leaves the elevator lobby and gets to the Main Corridor of the Upper Deck. To his left, a door marked with the official Maurian shield can only be the Captains' quarters and office.

The door to his right cannot be mistaken either, thanks to the symbol on top of it. It must be the ship's Infirmary.

Tiak knocks the door to the Captain's quarters and immediately receives a harsh "Come in!" as an answer from inside. So he enters.

Tiak has only seen the captain once before, while he was being assigned to this ship in the Security Post in the Orbital Interception 46f. But he still looks like he's going to blow up at any moment. The man looks pretty agitated and doesn't give Tiak a second to talk before he starts his own interrogation.

"I've yet to encounter an accident that severs a person's head, drags the corpse somewhere else through a pool of its own blood, stands it up, vaporizes the corpse's head, and then finally changes the victim's clothes, sir.
Whoever did it knows which walls are safe to hit with directed energy weapons and has been stealing IDs to foul attempts to track them down.
Knowing which walls to hit means they're familiar with the ship, meaning it's an inside job. Being able to take-out systems before they sabotaged my room and stole my ID means they had a high level of access to begin with.
No head means no easy way for us to ID the victim, which makes tracking down who they are is going to be difficult.

It gets worse, though. Once we reach port we'll have the authorities on hand to lock down and sweep the ship, which is where the tactic breaks down.
While that sounds great it's also very well known as SOP, meaning that whoever it is knows about it. That means they don't intend for us to make it there.

Communications are offline by this point - I don't even need to ask - so I would advise getting whatever engineers you can together and focusing everything on getting communications back online and broadcasting a distress call. After that? Focus on bringing systems under manual control, then flush all the IDs in the system, seal all doors. If somebody wants to go to another room make them radio in a request and close it immediately after they're through.

>What...

It's worse, sir, as the victim's head has been vaporized with which all evidence points to be a H.E.R. The murderer knew what wall would be safe to shoot without destroying the whole ship with it. Also the way all the systems have been wrecked just before the crime clearly points to an inside job.

>Who's the victim?

Hum, the ID card found in the body had R. Mikos written on it.

What, sir?

>I'll tell you what's the situation. The mainframe is toasted for good and almost every system of the ship is now dead. Only the most basic of routines and those that can be operated manually are still online. That means that we're damn lucky of being alive, son. The atmospheric system still works and the hyperjump engine is operative and set with the coordinates to Tinosa II. So we should get to our destination in the estimated time as long as those systems are unharmed. Communications are completely fried, though.

Hmm, situation seems delicate.

The Ziran Empire has been the declared enemy of the Maurian Republic for the past three centuries, fighting for the mining resources all across the galaxy, the two powers entangled in a bloody war that that devoured entire generations of citizens of both sides. Only 3 years ago, the two titans signed an truce for an undefined time, filled with tension and veiled threats.

We need to get a conclusive identification of the body. The ID on the corpse isn't good enough proof. In fact, I suspect it was this R. Mikos that was responsible for killing the man, and switched clothes with him. The inside-out jacket suggests this. He was in a hurry, the jacket got turned inside-out when he took it off, and didn't notice when he put it on the body.

Furthermore, mention the ooze that you saw out of the corner of your eye. There could be something nonhuman(or whatever term is appropriate) loose in the ship.

There are two strategic choices then, if the Maurian Republic wants to avoid an interstellar war.

The first is to rely on on-site personnel (i.e. you) to unravel this plot completely and figure out what happened such that there is incontestable proof of the facts.

The second is to scuttle the ship and hope whoever is in charge of intelligence at home and in the Ziran Empire is up to the task of keeping the fact that there were two Ziraneé passengers aboard completely suppressed. That's a slim hope indeed though, considering that an infiltrator is aboard this ship.

Zira can't be one of the diplomats. Maurians and Ziraneé aren't even of the same species! Her name is a weird coincidence, although.

I see... Well, anyways, I haven't been able to confirm the identity of the victim without the head. For what we know, Mikos could be the murderer and have exchanged clothes with the actual victim.

>That doesn't make any sense, Reto Mikos was the mayor of Port Augira, a respectable city in Tinosa II, our destination. Why would he behave like a common criminal?... No, don't answer me, I don't care at the moment. But there's a way we could confirm the identity of the corpse. Dr. Labras, in the InfirmaryAs you should remember, to get permission to embark, all passengers and crew members had to register and pass a medical exam. We don't have the means to perform a DNA analysis, but all passengers and crew blood types should've been recorded and stored in the medical database. Most of the medical equipment in the ship works offline for security reasons, so maybe it still works, even with the mainframe down.

Thanks sir, that would be of great help. Changing subjects, what are the names of the two Ziraneé diplomats?

>Ermm... I can't access the records, something as simple as that and it's fucking impossible. You'll have to ask that in person, I guess. Just try not to inconvenience them too much, we have enough troubles as we are.

Have all the passengers been released from cryo because of the system failure?

>Probably, yes.

We should keep the Ziranée diplomats in the bridge, for security reasons.

>Hah! That's a good one! You're free to try, but you know those scales-for-brains and their twisted concept of honor and shit. They'll probably take it as an insult and fight to the death before getting under arrest, even if -and I say IF- they are innocent.

Alright sir, I think that's all. As Head Security of this ship I will take care of the investigation. Anything else I should know.

>Hmpf. Good luck with that. Ah, you can talk to Dr. Labras yourself about the identification of the corpse, or I can ask him while you perform your investigation. Your call. I have to discuss some matters with him anyways. In any case, I doubt he'll have the results before an hour.

Maurians and Ziraneé are completely different, physically and socially, it would be impossible to mistake them. But it should be relatively easy to get two of them in a ship without being noticed. The Orbital Interceptions are neutral space, and they would only have to enbark before every other passenger. Or after them. During the flight, all the passengers should be on cryo-sleep, so nobody would meet each other.

Tiak enters the Infirmary, where he faces a pale maurian in a lab suit and D-goggles.

You must be Dr. Labras

>You don't seem to be hurt or sick. What do you want?

I'm the Head Security of the ship and I need your help, there's been a murder.

Briefly, Tiak explains the situation to the doctor, stating that he needs his help to identify the corpse.

So... would that be possible?

Tiak is awesome. He got the engines working again without his own ID card and made you one from scratch? It's not your job to advise Tiak, but I'm sure he would want to suit up and go down to check the reactor at some point. You need to clearly mark the hazard suit so you don't end up murdalizing Tiak. But don't tell him you're going to do so. If he was the one who attacked you, he won't check for the spare suit and see the marking on it. If he wasn't the one who attacked you, he'll need a suit and given that there's only one left, will have to put up with the markings. That way if you catch Tiak with the suit on you can be sure of whether he is the attacker or not, and you can avoid attacking him unnecessarily with the scalpel.

Question though, how to mark the suit in a recognizable way that wouldn't get bleached by the radiation... got a can of white paint?

Tiak walks down the corridor and tries to open again the male restroom door. This time it happens to be unlocked, revealing a bathroom identical to the female one. It's empty, clean and doesn't show signs of use.

Tiak decides to check out the Crew Quarters first. The door leads to a small corridor with six doors, each one with a human letter assigned to it.

There's no way of telling whose is any of the rooms without opening them one by one. And Tiak would need a good reason to invade the private quarters of his fellow crew members.

Ah, but we do not know much about Maurians. Maybe in their culture, privacy is valued much higher than in ours.

Although, since there's a murder culprit on the run, maybe they would understand the reasoning to intrude, since all Tiak wanted would be to protect their lifes.

Maurians have their privacy in great value, but it's not only that. Tiak is not sure what to look for in the crew quarters, and he doesn't want to waste the time to search the rooms one by one, going through the stuff of all the other crew members without having a clear objective in mind.

Tiak investigates the card slot for the E door. It looks like someone has jammed sharp pieces of plastic in it. The shards are too deeply crammed to be removed with his bare fingers, he would need a tool of some sort.

Maurian mandibles are vestigial and atrophied and don't serve any practical purpose anymore! They are just there, giving them a hard time when they try to put on turtleneck sweaters.

Tiak tries to use the scalpel instead. He's able to cut some of the smaller chunks, but the tool isn't long enough to reach the bottom and pry the bigger shards out. So he decides to go back to Engineering and try to ask Trake for some pliers.

On his way there, he finds Dr. Labras has come down to examine the corpse. He seems to be scanning it with some kind of device that emits a eerie green light. The doctor nods at Tiak as he passes by.

Finally in Engineering, Trake doesn't seem to be here, at least in this particular room. But there's a pair of pliers on the workbench.
>>
No. 204316 ID: 08aa7e

Trake doesn't seem like he's in the next room, after taking a peek in. Nobody responds when Tiak yells his name either. But that's no surprise, the noise of the engines is so loud in this are, it engulfs almost every other sound.

Not having pen or paper to leave a note, Tiak takes the pliers, decided to give them back as soon as possible.

Tiak hurries over the E door and removes the plastic fragments with the help of the pliers. As he doesn't know what to do with them and he doesn't like littering, he stores them in his pocket for now.

The E compartment is small and austere, there isn't much to look to see in here. The smell of molten metal and burnt paper is strong in the air.

The capsule is the Cryo unit. The light is off, so it must be empty. A quick glance confirms it, nobody inside.

The chair is a simple piece of furniture attached to the floor. Nothing interesting about it.

The metal chest on the floor has been cut open with an energy tool. Its contents, are now a pile of ashes and dirt. Looks like most of them were clothes, and papers.

There are some more papers scattered around, but they're too damaged to be readable. One of them still has some parts intact, but still Tiak can only make out a few words.

...Important... as Engineer...suspect...Security... stored in the Zero Deck...must be safe...

Just as Tiak finishes reading what's left of the letter, his PDA beeps. The servo-camera hidden in the janitor cart has detected something. A rather bulky person has walked in front of it, going towards the south corridor. The corridor that leads to these quarters. Looks like the doctor hasn't reacted to this individual and is still investigating the corpse.

Just stay still until he walks past. That face mask allows for zero peripheral vision, so they won't see you until they turn to look.
As long as you keep quiet you'll probably go unnoticed long enough for them to take a few steps into the room. Once that happens you need to sneak up behind them and remove their helmet.

You need to identify them, because:
A: There's a damn good chance it's Trake
B: If it's not Trake then you now know what the killer looks like.

Tiak lunges and tries to tackle the stranger in the hazard suit and remove the mask. But his adversary happens to be sturdier than he thought, and even surprised, is able to stand in place and shove Tiak off to the other side of the room, stumbling.

Shi- Who are you? Trake, is that you?

The figure doesn't answer, but now Tiak can see that is holding a heavy hammer and seems to be getting ready to attack.

Grab the box and swing it at him, then use the distraction to get as close to him as possible.
While you're there you want to jab the scalpel into the abdomen/chest area as deep as you can, then pull it out and run.
The logic behind this is simple. Deep penetrating injuries like that are reliably fatal if untreated and debilitating in the mean time. If you get lucky and hit a major artery then the problem will be solved.
Besides all that? Once you land a hit and escape with the scalpel you'll have a blood sample to show the doc. Then you'll know either who they are or that they're a stowaway.

Next time you're in engineering you should borrow a plasma cutter or some equally misusable tool.

Before the his enemy can attack first, Tiak throws the box with perfect accuracy, hitting the mysterious individual in the head.

During the confusion, Tiak is able to charge with the scalpel, and pierce the shoulder under the hazard suit. There's no visible blood, but he can feel how the blade hacks through the flesh.

But when he tries to pull it out, it happens to be stuck. The figure doesn't flinch during the struggle, but methodically swings the hammer, striking Tiak's right leg. The security officer stumbles out of the room with a groan, falling onto the floor, the pain overwhelming his sense, and not being able to move the injured leg.

He's still holding the scalpel, which is now broken. The blade must be still lodged in his attacker's shoulder.

Tiak's injured leg can't stand the weight of his own body. He can't reach the card slot of the next door before his attacker comes out of the E compartment, still silent, blood slowly pouring from the wounded shoulder.

Tiak tries to crawl away and yells for help, hoping for the doctor or someone else to hear him. But nobody answers.

As his attacker looms over him, raising the terrible hammer over his head, a muffled voice can be heard from inside the mask.

>I didn't want to do this. It's nothing personal, you just getting in my way, officer.

Then I hope you won't take personal THIS, either!

Tiak quickly aims and shoots with perfect marksmanship, the taser energy beam hitting the wounded shoulder, the metal shard of the broken scalpel working as a lightning rod, extending the energy all over the victim's body.

The figure stumbles for a seconds and finally falls unconscious, the massive body falling over Tiak. The security officer tries to roll out of the way, but freezes and cringes in pain when he tries to move his abused leg.
