Maybe she was in the park as cover for visiting the bank? Might be worth checking out.

>>854500
Well, easy enough. Go to the bank, meet with the manager, request access to a specific time-period in a specific camera's arc. Explain that you're on a missing persons case and someone could be in serious danger.

Now hold on just a minute guys. How much of the park do the cameras actually cover? Considering that the Bank is open “at all hours,” we should stay here and capitalize on as much manual clue-finding time as we can. Stick to the outside-in approach; even if they were grabbed deeper in, and any clues found there could help point towards the “who,” a girl and her boss’s dog had to be removed from the park at a location, and is more likely to tell us the more important “where.”

May I ask for when the bank is next scheduled to open?

If it's no time soon you'll have to call someone to access the camera feeds, the goons here don't have the authority to give you what you need.

When you leave: thank you for your help and good luck to you! I hope you'll eventually encounter someone you're allowed to shoot.

Explain that you are hunting down a very suspicious secret agent who is currently at war with an unknown party and it would be REALLY inept to leave you behind without sharing your information about the agent because if anyone would know how to break in it's HER.

oh no the bank is closed I guess you're just going to have to go home and watch golden girls while beating off and eating melted and then refrozen ice cream you fucking pussy. detectives don't give a shit if a business is closed they get their evidence. fucking find a way in.

>>870722
Ask Eddy to go and get the recordings from the bank's external optical security feed. It's a matter of the law.

Looks like it's time to dress as a janitor! You have access to an apartment full of disguises that you have yet to identify as fitting or not. So get something from there if that works. If not, how hard could it be to dress as a janitor?

“Hey, isn’t this bank supposed to be open at all hours?”

You mean you have a schedule to prepare them for getting killed one [unit] before retirement? *lol* But seriously, I'm probably not eligible.

Well, I haven't had lunch. Where's the nearest food store?

Complimentary peanuts. The near death experience took some energy.

Sure, have him beam Bea the details and let her read the fine print. Might be worth investing in on a day you aren't broke.

>temporary guards
Why do you have temporary guards? Did something happen to your regular guards? Do you not normally have guards, but there was some kind of incident?

Probably shouldn’t stick our noses into anything potentially dangerous to be privy to (like the prototype they mentioned) unless it’s plausibly related to the case. Just focus on getting the footage. If we have time to do one more thing and still grab a bite to eat, we should try talking to that fellow on the bench that’s been shown in the background for a couple panels. He’s in a central location, and doesn’t seem to move much.

Hey mudaki. I started asking around for your crap. I don't know if this can help or if it has any relation with your case, but it seems that Bu'ka was sent to the infirmary in the HOLE after an altercation with O'ta'ka and they had to change his cellmate. The one he killed, remember? Well it turns out that the Sh'baba killed a guy that was in a gang. I don't know which one yet. Maybe that can help?
In any case, you owe me one.

thank kiki for the grub.

>>881276
LOL. They have a "they know too much" button under the desk and we almost got it triggered on us.

An update with the missus won’t hurt. Maybe ask more about the victim. And tell her that the sitter might have also been a victim in this kidnapping, potentially even the primary target, as we don’t see why she would suddenly drop off the face of the Galaxy after just a dognapping. Also prepare to head back to the park to actually do some first-hand clue-sniffing. Doesn’t matter how hard we follow the victim’s connections; we aren’t getting anywhere until we get some insight into the crime itself’s order of events. Don’t waste any effort; if nobody has received a ransom note, then time is probably not on our side.

Heh, the ole 'revealing cover-up' button. Good memories. Shame we're dying too fast to enjoy this case more. Anyway, we need to interview the people Bu'ka knew. Think we can get into the prison to see him? Also, maybe a quick stop by the park tomorrow.

And it might be painful, but try to forgive the people around you for freaking out about your health. BEA was built to take care of you, after all.

Also, make an appointment with Klig'an. Maybe we can get some food while on our coffee date.

If you can spare a few credits, do so (assuming that’s what the sign he put up is asking for). Then open with “Question.” So he at least knows you aren’t here to harass him before he has a chance to shut you out again. He’s probably had it rough from the folks around here. Ask if he saw anything... was it two days ago? Ask what he saw in the last two days. If he doesn’t give up anything useful, mention that you’re investigating the kidnapping of a dog sitter and the dog she was walking.

Turn out your pockets for him and then immediately start questioning. Don't leave room to be interrupted.
