=========== “Scene of the Crime” Con’t from Sarah’s “The Prophets Love Me, This I Know” =========== Location: GS-2 Stardate: 2422 [2.7] 0516.0252 Scene: Crime Scene Hannibal O’Patterson and a few members of his security force had cordoned off the area surrounding the scene of the crime and were now in the process of systematically going around the crime scene and looking for anything out of place that might provide a clue as to the identity of the murderer. A few moments after he’d finished examining a splotch on the floor, the sound of footsteps drew the security chief’s attention. He stood from his crouch and looked out, nodding his head in the direction of the approaching figure, which he recognized immediately. “Sorry to pull you from your sickbay shift Doctor,” Hannibal said, nodding in the direction of the body that was lying on the floor. “But as you can see we have a bit of a situation here.” Jeff nodded, leaning down and examining the body visually. “Was this body moved?” he asked suddenly. Hannibal looked over at one of his underlings who had been listening to the conversation and the man nodded. “It was originally in a trash compactor,” the man said. “We had to move it out of there in order to try to ID the corpse.” “Were you successful?” Jeff asked, looking up at the security office from his crouching position. “Not yet sir,” came the answer. “Well,” Jeff said, opening the medkit he’d brought with him and extracting a tricorder from its depths. “In spite of the skinning, I can still take a full physiological scan with the tricorder.” He started scanning back and forth, getting the information that he needed. “If this person has ever been through the infirmary, I’ll be able to get a positive ID as soon as I feed the physiological information into the computer.” “How soon can you do that?” Hannibal asked. “As soon as I get back to sickbay,” Jeff answered. He continued scanning, taking a few more readings of other kinds that he thought would be useful in helping him come up with an identification. “What do you figure on the time of death?” Hannibal asked. Jeff pursed his lips, pressing a few buttons on his tricorder and doing another quick scan. “I’d say the body had been in the trash compactor some hours at least,” he answered. “Although since it was contaminated a lot it could throw the results off a little bit. Say somewhere in the range of ten to twelve hours; fifteen hours at the earliest outside limit.” Hannibal nodded his affirmation of having heard Jeff’s words as the doctor finished his scan and got back to his feet. “Do you have someone coming in to do the forensic work yet?” he asked. “Yep,” the security chief answered. “We put in a request for a team about fifteen minutes ago; they said they’d send someone down as soon as they could.” “Sounds like a plan,” Jeff said. “Do me a favor and get Lieutenant Yao to send me a copy when the team finishes up here?” “Sure thing doc,” Hannibal said. “I’ll also contact you when we’re ready to release the body for autopsy.” “Good man,” Jeff said, putting the tricorder back into his medkit and slinging the strap over his shoulder. ======= NRPG: Sorry about the lengthy silence. Been having some atrociously annoying laptop problems as of late, so posting has been difficult. I’ll do more in my next post, promise! Jasmina/Chance -> I hope I didn’t ruin anything either of you were working on; if so let me know and we can work something out. Steve -> Feel free to take the lead in anything you were planning. I’m a bit in tough at the moment, so I’ll just follow whatever you do. ======= ========== V. Rahul Chandra <vrccan_at_gmail.com> Playing...
