The gravity of the situation weighed on them; every step brought them closer to understanding the technical breakdown that might unveil crucial evidence in Professor Calder’s murder.
Upon arrival, they were greeted by the lead security engineer, a wiry man with sharp eyes and a badge that read ‘Liam’. He ushered them into a room lined with monitors displaying various parts of the campus.
“Thanks for seeing us on short notice,” Abraham began, his voice steady. “We need to understand exactly what happened with the librarian Android at the time of the incident.”
Liam nodded, pushing his glasses up on his nose. “Of course. It’s quite unusual, actually. We found a projectile slug near the Android. It wasn’t just any slug—it emitted an EMP strong enough to fry the Android’s brain, effectively knocking it offline.”
Maelstrom’s interest piqued. “Could we see the security footage leading up to that moment? It might help us identify who did this.”
“Absolutely,” Liam replied, turning to his computer. “I can provide the footage up until the moment the Android went offline. After that, everything went dark.”

This could be the lead we’ve been chasing.”

In the ship’s tech lab, they cast the footage onto a large screen and began to analyze it frame by frame.
“Let’s slow it down here,” MaelstromOrigin and Early Life Maelstrom, a Gichi-manidoo from the Rogue Moon of Giizis Babaa-ayaa in the Ontario Sector, is distinguished by her blue-furred, wild cat-like features.

She enhanced the image, focusing on a reflection visible in the glass casing of a nearby display.

The build suggested the assailant was female.
Abraham leaned closer, squinting at the details. “There. You can just make out the shape of the mask and the stance. It’s a start, but identifying her will be tricky without more to go on.”

More nodded, her mind already racing through possible next steps. “We should check if anyone else saw something suspicious or if there are other angles in the footage that could give us more clues.”
“This masked figure knew what they were doing, targeting the Android specifically to create a blind spot,” Abraham added thoughtfully. “It’s more than just sabotage; it’s calculated interference with the investigation.”
As they wrapped up their session, the weight of their discovery loomed large. They had a lead, albeit a shadowy one, and it was imperative they uncover who was behind the mask and what their role was in the chilling tableau that had unfolded in the campus library.

With new evidence in hand and the stakes rising, the crew of the Mandoleer’s Folly prepared to delve deeper into a case that was proving to be as complex as it was dangerous.
