Cmdr Ruane - Time for a closer look (repost)
Renos SB118
((Yunamax Hotel - Executive Suite))
::Stood in the middle of a crime scene, now riddled with little tags marking every footprint, thanks to sh’zatrahr’s fine work. The Andorian hybrid had photographed the entire crime scene and body as well, then headed to the function room to help finalise preparations of the hololab ahead of their transport of the body. The expression on the victim’s face suggested he had been conscious before he died and that it hadn’t been a pleasant experience. There was no blood, defensive wounds or bruises that they could see. This was no violent knife or gun crime. He hadn’t been bludgeoned to death.::
::Ruane had asked the doctor to do a preliminary medical examination. There might be things she wanted to record before they moved the body. Or there might be things about the body that meant one method or another of transport may be unsuitable. Ruane didn’t want to risk damaging any delicate evidence with a transporter transfer.::
Ruane: I think it would make the most sense to start with the body. Before we move it, we need to make sure we get adequate pictures for reference later. Sh'zatrahr, I’d like you to photograph the body and the scene. Then, we need to lay down markers at every item, and clue you can find. We’ll want to remove and examine many of the items in here.
::Ruane could already see a number of interesting items. A half-finished glass of something sat on the bedside table. Water? Something with a bit more kick? There were a number of datapads lying around too, what secrets did they hold? Getting all the data off them might require some help from their technically minded Andorian hybrid. Her sharp eyes and problem-solving abilities would be just as important as the rest of the team’s in putting this mystery together.::
Dar: Commander Ruane. This glass does contain some residuals of a sedative or toxin of some kind. However, I am not able to obtain any further information. It leads to the suspicion though, that our victim has been sedated or maybe intoxicated. Unless they took the substance by their own account. Diplomats at times are known for such actions due to extensive stress related to their work.
Ruane: Yes good point. It would be easy to assume foul play, wouldn’t it, but we do have to keep all possibilities in mind. Take a sample for analysis at the lab, let me know if anything else catches your attention.
Ruane: P’au, Dar, I want you to do a preliminary examination of the body and tell me what you find.
Dar: Yes, Commander.
P’au: P’au: There are a few questions I have that can only be solved in an autopsy. :: She stood up.::
Ruane: Once the engineers report to me, we’ll be able to move the body to the lab to run more in-depth tests and analysis. I’ll help comb and process the scene for other clues that warrant further investigation.
Ruane: I understand, and I expected as much. We should be able to transport the body in a few minutes. I just need you to work out the best means of doing so and whether a site to site transport would be safe.
::And not destroy any fine or delicate evidence.::
P’au: Response
::That was good enough for her and settled the matter of how they would move the body.::
Ruane: Very well. I think sh’zatrahr has bagged all of the evidence now, so let’s get to the lab.
((Hololab))
::Inside the lad, the body lay on a long wide table, where an overhead sensor suite and various tools were available to run almost every test and scan imaginable. Adjacent to it was a variety of scientific equipment, from high powered microscopes, to drug testing kits.::
Ruane: P’au please focus on the body and complete a full autopsy.
P’au: Response
Ruane: Dar, please focus on the other items of evidence - what do you think should be prioritized first?
Dar: Response
