[sb118-apollo] Ensign Malko - Timeline Start
Adriano Bertuzzo
((Yunamax Hotel, New Talax))
Malko: We have reason to believe there was an unwanted entry into Mr. Graq's room. Surely you would want to know of any weakness in your hotel's security?
Flixic: My hearing is not imparied, so there’s no need to yell. Unless you’re intentionally trying to be disruptive of course, but I’m sure we’re all working towards the same goal and want to get to the bottom of what happened to poor Mr Graq.
Adler: Well, I'm sure the quicker we find what we're all looking for, the sooner business can proceed as usual, and future guests will see you as the hotel manager who stands firmly on the side of their well being under your roof.
Flixic: As you say. ::She patted a thick, square device on her desk:: Copies of all our security footage. I’ve already reviewed it myself and have taken the liberty of providing some notes about suspicious comings and goings. Camera 13 is the closest one of Mr Graq’s room, and it monitors the whole stretch of corridors those rooms are on. Is there anything else?
Malko: Just a few questions so we can establish a timeline and clear any innocent parties. Who was on staff last night? And, what was their last interaction with Mr. Graq?
Flixic: Of course I want to help you but I am confused and concerned? Do you seriously suspect we are to blame? Our recruitment standards and background checking is most rigorous owing to the high profile guests we serve.
Malko: Thank you. We have no reason to suspect your employee's involvement in this matter - and their cooperation will help keep it that way.
Flixic: There were over 50 staff on duty last night alone. I cannot recall off the top of my head who was all working. Nor can I tell you what interaction they had with the man.
Adler: Or do you have a record through the staff of Mr. Graq's most recent activity - diplomatic or otherwise - and who else may have been with him at the time? A hotel like this tends to keep excellent records, and witnesses could be butlers, waiters, room service, cleaners … Anyone, really.
Flixic: I do have the staff schedule for last night, the logs of all clock ins and clock outs. Mr Graq ordered room service last night, so I can provide you with the names of staff involved in providing that service to him as well.
Adler: Thank you, ma'am.
Malko: That does give us a bookend to work from, and a witness who had visited the room.
Flixic: Anything else? ::She was polite, but not particularly warm or friendly::
Fairhug: Thank you, ma'am, you've been most helpful. I hope you don't mind if we continue our investigation?
Flixic: Please do. The sooner this matter is concluded, the better.
Fairhug: Thank you, again. We'll try to stay out of the way.
:: Although Flixic had been more preoccupied with defending the hotel's name than the matter of justice, the data she had provided was thorough and gave a template to hand a timeline on. The team could now start peicing together what Graq's night looked like. ::
