Matthew paused. “A death?” He took in the array of evidence on the table. “Wouldn’t that be a job for medical?” he asked, then looked back at the other cadet. His eyes widened. “Do they think she’s been murdered?”

He grabbed the first bag of clothing and looked at the array of machines available. What’s going to be best for this, he thought. What am I going to be looking for here? He opened the bagged clothes and emptied the article into a machine for examining biologics. I’ve used this for detecting contaminants before, it should be able to find trace hair and skin or other evidence.

“Is there anything in particular we should be looking for?” he asked the Vulcan as he entered the commands for the scan.

McMorran allowed herself to turn achingly slowly to allow her eyes to meet Cadet Riley’s. She nodded encouragingly before returning to… whatever it was she was doing.

Matthew nodded back to the lieutenant. Well at least he thinks I’m on the right path. It’s amazing what a
simple thing like a nod can do, he pondered. Facing the machine again he pursed his lips, then inserted his hands into a slot below the table. A soft hiss sounded, and he removed his hands, now covered in a spray-on glove coating. He looked about and found the next apparatus he needed.

He crossed back to the table beside T’Mor, grabbed another bag, and approached a positionable magnifier tablet. He pulled out the contents of the bag and began examining the clothing for tears or other evidence, waiting on the results from the biologics scanner.
