Todd looked back over his notes and made some interesting findings and then added the notes of what he had found in the digestive system of the newest victim. He sent a message to the CoS and let him know what had been found.

CMO

Looking at the autopsy notes Longstreet shared them with Karlson.

“I’m scratching my head on this. Did this man take the capsule himself with intent to kill himself after the deed or did he get ricked into taking it?” Longstreet asked. “He does not strike me like a zealot type from his record.”

Longstreet COS

Longstreet read this file and nodded in agreement “It would appear that whoever it was that hired this man planned ahead. This means they could get him to murder Prim Zar and then get rid of the only obvious tie to them. It’s rather an intelligent solution to murder, timed poisions.”

DCI Pangolin
OOC: Very good :)

“Far too calculated for my taste. That means conspiracy usually. Hard to pull this all off with just one or two persons. At any rate we need to trace this guys steps from as far back as we can. Dr. Do we have a positive ID on this guy from medical records and scans?”

Longstreet COS

OOC: Yes, he was already identified as a known criminal, doing all sorts of dirty jobs. He’s a suspect in about 5 robberies and two of them had a victim that died.

“Ah yes here it is.” Longstreet said looking over the file. “Probably an easy choice for the person who hired him. Dependable to get a job done and disposable too. So now we need to find the person who employed him. Which in this case will not be easy.”

=^=Computer find all data and bio recognition scans we have from our systems and see if we find anything that identifies where this man has been in the last month=^=

Longstreet knew the man had to have habits and that meant whoever wanted to hire him might have had to go to him to do it.

Longstreet COS
OOC: Don’t want to be nit-pickey, but which computer are you asking? The computer of the medical facility will not have any answers. However, in the goverment tower, on the second floor from the top you have access to the surveilling equipment of all of OED as the COS. I’ll just imply that you asked that AI via a com link ;)

He got a list of multiple locations, all of which in the more shady quarters of OED, in the outermost districts and the underground system. One location though stood out for him, it was the office address of a private detective and the other was of the cabinet member Stephen Binns. There was no information though if the suspect had entered said houses, it just said that he had been in that street.
- Zar

“These stand out.” He said handing it to Pangolin. “The office of Binns and this one of a P.I. Not what you would expect. Want to split up or go together?”

Longstreet COS

Pangolin squinted his eyes as he read over the list “No let’s go together. Starting with this private Detective.” He adjusted his jacket “I’ll need to inform the Commissioner or at least my Superintendent if we’re going to start investigating Cabinet Members” He indicated that the pair could mobilize “This is turning out to be quite interesting.”

DCI Pangolin

“Probably less so to him.” Longstreet said indicating to the dead man. “Ok lets do this together. I on the other had do not need to inform the boss. I am the boss. Plus the big boss prefers answers before I come to him and right now I don’t have any.”

“Thanks Doc.” Longstreet called out as they headed out.

Longstreet

Pangolin chuckled “Yes that must be nice” A moment later they reached outside and the Chief Inspectors car was waiting for them. “I’ll just send the Superintendent a message quickly,” He said as he sat inside the vehicle just before it lifted off already prepared to take them to their next destination “She’ll get a judge ready in case we need search warrants quickly. Tracing our assassin should be enough for probable cause”

DCI Pangolin

“If all else fails I will place it under National security and we can get what we want when we want. However if it goes to the civil penal side that may complicate things.” Longstreet said as he got into the hover mobile thingy.

“The bottom line is we have to start somewhere.” He added.

Longstreet

Pangolin gave the Security Chief a good long look “If you ever wonder why the locals dislike Starfleet so much, it’s that” He half smiled as the Journey Continued “We won’t need that, good old-fashioned investigation will get us there, not Governmental overreach” He smiled at his old friend “Besides I don’t think a PI wants to irritate both the Local Constabulary and Starfleet all at once, just having you around can have a good effect.”

After a few moments the pair arrived at their destination, the adress of the Private investigator. Pangolin jumped out of the car and stretched slightly. He was going to need to have his back checked again, the curse of multi Special life truly.

DCI Pangolin.

OOC: Now the PI was a former player on OED who has left, so I’ll just play him, but I forgot his name.
IC:

PI Spencer Drake received them right away in his office. He was a balding man in his fourties who had acquired a bit of weight, but he still looked fit nevertheless. His eyes betrayed quite a bit of intellingence.

“Hello gentlemen. It’s not every day that I get such famous visitors. What can I do for you? Are you investigating Darius Brand? Sorry, I mean Darius Zar as he must now name himself.” he asked, pointing towards the two empty seats in front of his desk.

• PI Spencer Drake

There was no reaction on the Chief Inspectors face as he sat down. He pressed a small button on his comm device, starting the recording of the interrogation as was the norm “Why do you think we would be investigating the latest Zar host?” He asked not betraying a single emotion. Something he fondly referred to as his Vulcan Face, twice as good as a Poker face.

DCI Pangolin.

Spencer raised one eyebrow. “Because I watch the news? And because Brand was here the day before the Zar murder. He asked me to find a certain box for him. It didn’t go anywhere… when I saw the news of Prim Zar’s murder I decided not to persue this gig. By then I had found out that the box had belonged to Shamera Zar, the host that came before our esteemed ex-governor Anu Zar. I value my life gentlemen, and I value to be known to work on the side of the law, I knew you’d come by for a visit eventually, and I didn’t wanna piss you off to be quite frank.” he said without much fuss.

• PI Spencer Drake

Pangolin simply smiled politely “And this box, did you end up locating it?” He asked softly. Apparently honesty was a decent change from his regular day to day stuff.

DCI Pangolin.

Longstreet perked up at the mention of the box. The same one he was sure was in is office right now. THey had yet to crack its encryption.

“Did he say why he wanted the box?” Longstreet asked even knowing the answer would be no.

Longstreet

Pangolin sensed familiarity from the Security Chief, it appeared as if he was familiar with the box in question. He gave no reaction either way.

Spencer shook his head, a greasy strand of hair falling into his forehead. “No. To be frank he was a posh arse. I didn’t care for his arrogant airs at all. And you don’t need me anymore for finding that blasted box, your means are way more extensive than mine and I bet you’ve already found it.”

• Spencer Drake

Longstreet put on his poker face and said nothing. Though Drake looked like a man who also played the game well.

Longstreet

Pangolin smiled his polite smile once more. He put his hand inside his jacket and pulled out his Standard Police Issue PaDD and put it on the desk, a picture of the Zar killer filled the screen “Are you familiar with this man?” He asked, not looking away from the man.

DCI Pangolin

Spencer cast one quick glance on it and nodded. “Yeah, would be a rotten detective if I wasn’t. Known hired hand, does a lot of dirty work but so far you guys never nailed him down.” then he grinned. “Why? Was he the hired hand in the Prim murder? If so I’d wager he’s dead by now, and good riddance. Makes sense. Whoever the money man behind this is - he ain’t the kind to make his hands dirty.” he said and scratched his balding head, looking pleased that one of the bad guys had met his maker.
He was a bit weird and grimy, but dumb he was not.

• Spencer Drake PI

Pangolin smiled again as he retrieved the PaDD and placed it back inside his jacket pocket. He looked over to Longstreet, as if indicating that he was finihsed with his questions for the moment. Now was the time for the Security Chief to ask any if he had them.
