Thórrson (to Ishikawa) Good work, Agent. Carry on.Then he turns to Special Agent Lethe. Thórrson (to Lethe) Special Agent Lethe, can you get us a full spectrum analysis of the area while the protest was going on? I want to know if anyone in that crowd was broadcasting or receiving communications. I want the full picture, but if you find anything even close to two suspects, that would be superb.Walking toward the closed-off crime scene, he waits until everyone else is out of earshot. Thórrson (to Ashbless) How soon can you get me a preliminary finding that says that the medical evidence indicates that he was short at point-blank range and from behind?

Thórrson's gut tells him that the woman was in charge. The man moves like an athlete, and deals with the tanglefoot like someone with a bit of obstacle-course training. The woman is dangerous. If they are soldiers, he's a talented recruit and she's special forces. They joined the press at the second fence last, and as best you can tell they had their attention fixed on your John Doe.

While she's directing the Marines at the start of the search, she's got the "highlights" of the victim from the surv cams playing on her left eye's HUD. For now, she pays enough attention to see he's the ringleader, and pays closer attention to the shots of the assailants.

Ashbless also starts the ball moving on getting someone to transport the corpse to a morgue for the thorough autopsy. Last edited by dscheidt; 08-20-2007 at 11:04 PM. Reason: Fix formatting. No content change. |

Indeed, why not.Lethe starts doing a correlation search as outlined by Ashbless. He also tries to zoom in as John Doe speaks towards the camera. Then, he starts a program to extrapolate what was said from the lip movements. Quote:
Very well, sir.Proceeds to do so. In addition, Lethe starts a database search for any local women with special forces training and a criminal record, or with charges being dismissed for some reason, or with close relatives having a criminal record. Lethe also searches the police archive for any female criminals (which are not mindwiped or dead) with some sort of military training. Finally, he accesses the marines personell files, and searches those along similiar lines. Lethe also checks the DoJ's Most Wanted list, just to be sure.

Lethe (to Thórrson)
Results coming in. Quote:
1416 ZULU John Doe appears from the north, running parallel with the spaceport perimeter. He is obviously exhausted, but he still picks his feet up pretty well in the tanglefoot weed. He runs into the knot of protestors, who shy away at first. He pants for a moment, his hands on his knees, then turns and looks off to the north. Turning sharply, he scans the line of the first fence, then runs unsteadily to the point nearest a camera-post. He waves his arm jerkily at the camera, shouting inaudibly [lipread software: “Justice Department! Justice Department”]. After about ten seconds the crowd take up his cry [lipread software: “Justice! Justice!”] and rush the fence, shaking their fists in the air. A crush builds up against the fence, and John Doe climbs the mesh to get above it, still shouting and waving at the camera. 1419 ZULU The fenceposts start glowing red, indicating a level of pressure that could cause people to be crushed. The screamers come on, and people start behaving erratically. Two people, a slight athletic man (Azazael bond Oak) and a very athletic woman (Kitsune Foxx) in blue clothes, red caps, and [image enhancement in the shadow of their caps] visors run in from the north and join the back of the press. 1420 ZULU The fence gives way. The crowd falls in a heap except for John Doe, who having been halfway up the fence is ahead of the crowd. He gets up first and starts running gamely south, towards the Residence. Oak and Foxx are delayed in following him by the heaped protestors. 1424 ZULU John Doe appears at the second fence, and repeats his performance, though with noticeably less vigour. His voice is feeble, and he only manages “Justice… want… Justice… ment. Justice…” The front elements of the mob are about thirty seconds behind, Oak and Foxx are well back. 1427 ZULU The fenceposts again start glowing red, and these ones, lining the counterscarp, and not engineered to give way. The marines open fire with stuncannon from the scarp, and the protestors go down like scythed wheat. [Crop, zoom, enhance, slow-mo: Oak is hit by at least two solitons, Foxx by at least one. They hesitate before taking dives.] After 27 seconds, the marines cease firing. 1428 ZULU Oak and Foxx crawl through the writhing heap of screaming protestors towards Doe. They start searching him, quickly but thoroughly, opening his jacket and fly, slitting the linings and pockets of his clothes. 1429 ZULU Protestors start getting up and crawling away. Oak takes Doe’s shoes, and slits them open. Foxx rolls Doe onto his side and starts patting down his back. Doe starts to struggle, flail, and shout. Foxx takes a dark object from her pocket, presses it to the back of Doe’s head. Doe convulses once and is still. 1430 ZULU Foxx crawls to Oak for fifteen seconds’ whispered conversation. They crawl off thirty metres or so. 1432 ZULU Oak and Foxx get up and start running for the first fence. 1436 ZULU Oak and Foxx pass through the gap in the first fence. 1437 ZULU Chetshwayo checks Doe’s breathing, starts CPR. 1440 ZULU Medical technicians arrive, Doe pronounced dead. Sunrise. Lethe Detain bulletins are updated now.

Via datalink to the whole investigation team:
I've got an ID on the vic. The corpse is David Legspinner Wong, born 30 August 601 in Hell (Tau Ceti II). He arrived on 17 November 628 and has a resident alien's visa. No residential address is on record, but Wong's sponsor is his employer, Le Nôtre Research, of Anacreon. (about 800 km away.) The prelim path report is attached. Some key points:
My initial thought is that our buddies from the SoPH caught up with him, tried to find something out, he escaped. They found him, and zapped him. Alternatively, he's a SoPH, and a second group caught up with him, and the SoPH think he ratted him out. Alternative number three, there are three or more groups trying something. The locker key appears to match a health club in Anacreon, where he worked. Inspector, I think that's enough for a warrant to search it, don't you? Can you get on that? The judges like you more than me.... Quote:

Ishikawa goes to the marines barracks to take statements from Sblt. Lynda Ath (platoon commander, Bravo platoon), Sgt. Nyoman Holmes (platoon sergeant, Bravo platoon) L-cpl Valkiri Chetshayo (medic, Bravo platoon), L-cpl Musashi Nguyen (who gave the order to open fire with the stun-cannon), Pvte. Ichiko Fulbright (Nguyen's offsider), and Pvte. Chepren Potswami (Ath's orderly, who found the body). Lt. free Grail more-or-less insists on being present and on referring to the interviews as 'debriefings', but he is silent throughout.
The statements are all quite straightforward, and consistent with the facts known, but Nguyen's and Fulbright's statements are rather formulaic, and suspiciously similar for the statements of witnesses who are supposed not to have been in contact since the incident. Empathy. 28 * 5 = 140. D% roll = 58. QR 3 (unqualified success). Fortunately, Ishikawa remembers in time that Nguyen and Fulbright have been standing watches, making decisions, issuing orders, and opening fire for decades, and that they are trained to make incident reports and situation reports in a set form. This isn't a particularly remarkable event in their lives. After ordering that they be released, she reassures them that as far as DoJ can tell the dead man was not killed by the stun-cannon. Nguyen thanks her, but doesn't seem relieved of any particular worry. Empathy. 28 * 5 = 140. D% roll = 73. QR 3 (marginal success). Ishikawa finds the marines inscrutable. Perhaps they simply knew they had acted properly, and had absolute faith in the Imperial system to see them right. Thoughtfully, Ishikawa makes certain to take copies of the marines' recon computer logs. Interviews with the Home Office paramedics are also uneventful. The paramedics are as innocent as babes. Empathy. 28 * 5 = 140. D% roll = 01. QR 1 (critical success).

Aye, Special Agent, get it done. If there's anything you think merits a closer look, let me know. I trust your judgment.

Thórrson contacts the local judge and explains the situation. He requests a warrant to search the locker and if he gets one, he plans to go himself with an escort of a couple of Marines for security and whomsoever of his investigators not involved in something else. He also asks for arrest warrants for Foxx, bond Oak, Assad and Lijmke, citing conspiracy, aiding and abetting and suspected terrorist connections for the last two.
He turns to Lethe. Thórrson (to Lethe) Get us everything on the Sons of Patrick Henry. Membership, ideology, known and suspected operations, etc. Details of the suspects as well.In a lower voice, to Ashbless. Thórrson (to Ashbless) Sulanne, I know that the video convinced me and you. We're investigators and we know the extreme unlikelihood that it was tampered with and we know that we'd probably spot telltales if it was. But I'm not sure it will convince a hostile crowd that is apparently not predisposed to like Imperials.Thórrson grins at her with weary humour. Thórrson (to his team) Let me know as soon as the media gets wind of this case. We need to prevent guesswork and interference as far as possible.
