“What have you discovered thus far, Major?” Aihia approached Crystal, keeping a close eye on her surroundings. Something felt off about this particular cargobay..it was a feeling she could not quite place.

“ Not much other then the crates that are unmarked” Crystal said shaking her head.

“I see.” She remarked, glancing at one of the nearby security ensigns that had arrived with K’Vexx. “Ensign, may I?” She gestured to his tricorder, thanking him when he passed it to her.

“These crates?” Aihia asked, rhetorically, approaching one of the several unmarked crates. Raising the tricorder, she ran a simple scan over the material. “Something within the crate is blocking scanner readings. A magnetic field, perhaps?” She suggested, although did not expect Crystal to have the answer.

Crystal and snowflake followed the captain. Snowflake had yet to great the captain like he usually did. He was focused on work.

“Major..you should see this.” A young marine stepped between them before Crystal was given enough time to respond. “You as well, Captain.”

Aihia and NEs

” let’s go” crystal said with a smile. She moved to follow the Marine. ” what did you find ” she asked as she and snowflake followed.

The Marine led them through the maze of crates that had been stacked about the cargo bay in a method of haphazard organization. In silence, he bit the inside of his cheek, unsure of how the two might respond to his discovery.

Crystal noticed the strange behavior of the marine.

Around the bend, the Major and Captain would find a gruelling sight. Flush against an ominous crate, an elderly man lay limp, his head hanging unnaturally beneath his shoulders. His neck had been snapped. His collar, the podium for his authority, displayed two golden pips encased by a thin, emerald line. Rear Admiral.

“ no one rich anything secure the cargo bay and keep everyone out.” Crystal said

“Yes, ma’am.” The marine responded, turning to glance about for his comrades. “Pendragon!” He called out to another Marine, gesturing to the doors. They had been awaiting Crystal’s orders since the body’s discovery, several minutes before.

“The Admiral was discovered here. There are no signs of struggle in his general vicinity, but we haven’t had the chance to inspect the body.”

She taped her combage =/\= crystal to sacristy, medical, and jag I request your assistance in cargo bay 4=/\= She said snowflake remained calm next to her. She was silently glad that the cats caler had a chip that monitored his location as all times. Even if he was accused of harming the admiral the caller would show that he was also with crystal.

=^=Dr. T’Aria here, Major. A team will be en route, shortly.=^=

“Major, get a forensics team down here as well. I want every inch of this cargobay inspected, analysed and recorded.” Aihia remarked, kneeling beside the Admiral. “We have a murderer on board.”
