The crime scene, such as it was, was fairly quiet to first impressions, a couple of champagne flutes, half full of bubbly. The piles of clothing strewn about, both men’s and ladies garments. Without running detailed scans it was evident that there were two people in here last night, but who, other than the XO would come in here? Who would even have access?

GM Wombat

It took a few moments for the CO to respond, but when she did, the orders were rapid-fire and to her entire senior staff at once:

=/\= Davis to Senior Staff. I apologize for the abruptness of this message, but Ensign Janga has been found deceased in the XO’s hot tub. Commander Hilo, report to the security office with Lieutenant Rainns to interview Commander Holmman about his remembrance of the events. Lieutenant Rainns and Lieutenant McMorran, designate cadets to conduct a sweep of the hot tub and see if you can find any information to construct a timeline. Lieutenant McMorran, you are in charge of this effort. Lieutenant Zenzgii, conduct a diagnostic of the hot tub. Lieutenant Mika, I expect an autopsy report as soon as possible. Send a cadet to conduct an evaluation of Commander Holmman as well. Any questions? =/\=

Davis, CO

=^= Acknowledged=^= Rainns replied. He turned to O’Neil. “O’Neil, go with Dr. Mika to the sickbay to observe the autopsy. ” He then looked over to Anders. “Anders I want you investigate this area.” Rainns motioned to the room. “As soon as the rest of us leave.” He finally pivoted back to Holmman. “I will see you in my office momentarily.”

Lt. Jg. Joseph Rainns- COS

Mika nodded to Cadet O’Neil as she turned to leave, expecting the Cadet to follow her. And then, she headed down to the Sickbay without another word.

Kyle nodded, “Aye Lieutenant,” he said, already drawing his tricorder as he watched his Department Head move out of the door and down the corridor. He initiated the scan without a second thought.
(OOC: GM, what do I find?)

-Cadet Kyle Anders: Security-

A minute or so later CSO McMorran appeared outside the XO’s quarters, scampering hurriedly along the corridor with her red hair swaying and a tricorder in each hand. When she arrived at the entrace to Hollman’s quarters she didn’t enter. Instead she stood just aside from the doors, breathing slowly and deeply as she awaited the arrival of the cadet she had called in.

Lt. J.G. Aili McMorran - CSO

T’Mor had received the call and made her way to meet with Lieutenant McMorran. There where already a few speculations going around among the crew on what had happened. None of these stories were consistent enough with each other, however, to give her any idea of what to expect. She approached the CSO and stood at attention outside the door.

“Lieutenant,”she said, acknowledging her superior.

Aili acknowledged T’Mor with a solemn nod, somewhat unsure still after all her pondering as to how she should address the cadet in such grim circumstances. In the moments after receiving the captain’s communique the CSO had hurriedly selected her Vulcan cadet to assist her, considering her probably best placed to handle the potentially upsetting situation. T’Mor’s expertise in botany may not have been specifically what was needed but she wagered that her wider biological expertise would come in useful. McMorran knew, however, that the Vulcan mind was no simple thing. She aimed to be as gentle as possible while not offending the cadet’s Vulcan sensibilities as she had come close to doing when they first met.

McMorran struck a mournful tone. “Cadet, I don’t know how well you know Ensign Janga. I’m sorry to tell you that she has been found deceased here… in the first officer’s hot tub…” A tricorder was held out as an offering. Aili was keen to not linger on the emotion even if she was still trying to clear her own head. “We are to sweep the tub and search for any, well, clues as to what happened here. We’ll be working with a security cadet.” The Scot’s accent had thickened as her emotion became visible.

Lt. J.G. Aili McMorran - CSO

OOC: Don’t forget your signature! :D

Ander’s initial scan found some clues that science would need to analyze. First, there were two champagne flutes easily within arms reach of the hot tub. Both had some amount of sparkling wine in it, still very bubbly, but room temprature.

Next part of the XO’s clothing was folded neatly on one of the benches next to the hot tub, as opposed to the ensign’s uniform and other unmentionables. The rest had been strewn about as well but it looked more haphazard rather than pulled off in a true fit of passion.

Lastly the temperature was set as high as possible giving the room a foggy, almost sauna like feeling. Why?

GM Wombat

Kyle had not noticed the heat until his tricorder scan picked it up. As the sweat began to stream down the young cadet’s body, he closed the tricorder and turned to address Lieutenant McMorran.
“Lieutenant, with your permission, I need to report my findings to Lieutenant Rainns.”

-Cadet Kyle Anders

T’Mor raised her brows inquisitively. Curiosity made her want to ask nearly a dozen more questions. Even more she wondered why the Lieutenant would choose her, and not someone whose skills were more suited for the investigation. Still, she did not want be insensitive and cause McMorran any more upset than she obviously was.

“That is very regrettable,” she replied in a limited attempt at warmth. After accepting the tricorder she continued,

“I will do my best to assist in any way I can.”
