The ten separate feeds showed the current state of affairs in those sections, the milling about of cadets and low ranking officers bustling about to get their jobs done.

Assuming that the time stamps were pulled up, the time marks matched up with what was seen through the door in the hot tub room door. Pey could be seen wandering into frame, knocking on the door and then going in. Holmman was seen some time later going into section C and then not seen again. The next thing on the feed is the security detail entering the Hot tub room. There were seven hours were there was no one in the hall, suspicious.

“Cadet, if you knew everything, there wouldn’t be a need for an Academy training cruise,” Sapeth said matter of factly.

As he looked at the security feeds, it was suspiciously empty. There should have at least been crew walking through the hallway, even in the middle of the night.

“Computer, analyze security footage, look for repeating patterns that would indicate that the security feed has been looped.”

Lt Sapeth - CE

Anders appreciated the somewhat blunt, yet sincere response from the Chief Engineer. He smiled to himself, That’s a Vulcan for you he said internally. “Anything I can help with while the analysis is running Lieutenant?”

OOC: Make sure every once and a while you trim off some of the older posts, it helps keep these threads from getting to long. And you know, especially annoying if you are looking at them on your phone! Everyone has there method for determining when to snip posts. For me, I like to go back to a major point or event, and use that as a place to start. You probably want to make sure to leave information that will be important in the next couple of posts, if that changes how far back you go. For example, in this case I went back to right when we started talking about the video.

IC:
“What about the other access points to the Executive Officer’s quarters? What did the access logs for those say? Because one does not simply disappear into thin air Cadet.”

Sapeth looked over at the security footage, trying to see if he could note any repetition in the footage.

Lt Sapeth - CE

(OOC: I know, snipping isn’t something I’ve got my head round yet, much obliged for the tip)

IC:

“As far as we can tell sir, the only access point used was the front door. I can go back down there if you think another scan would be beneficial?”

-Cadet Kyle Anders: Security-

“Not at this moment Cadet. Though I do believe it might be worthwhile for us to visit the quarters after we finish reviewing the footage. While we wait for the computer to finish the analysis, what did the investigation find related to the bodies, and the cause of death?”

Lt Sapeth - CE

Kyle referred to a PADD he had been making notes on throughout the process, “Cause of death is believed to have been strangulation sir. Lieutenants McMorran and Mika also discovered that the body of Ensign Pey had been flooded with benzodiazepines. As far as I am aware, the source of the benzodiazepines is yet to be found.” Anders could not escape the feeling that the Chief Engineer was testing his recall skills, he appreciated the challenge all the same.

The computer chimed back after a couple of minutes. “Analysis indicates that there has been no looping,” the flat voice returned before adding, “Some images have been digitally altered.”

GM Wombat

“Effort should be made into identifying the source of the benzodiazepines in the Ensigns body. While it may seem like a minute detail, it is often those details that can be the key to solving the puzzle.”

As the results of the analysis came back, Sapeth looked them over. The digital altering would make sense, as the corridors should not have been that empty. “Computer, highlight digitally altered areas. Can they be recovered?”

Lt Sapeth - CE

Kyle nodded and said, “I believe Lieutenants Mika, McMorran and the Science and Medical Teams are currently working to identify the source sir.” As Sapeth gave the command to the computer, Anders swivelled on his heal to watch the screen intently.

-Cadet Kyle Anders: Security-

The computer thought for a long time before it came back. “Negative. Unknown data removed.”

The situation was like an empty glass sitting next to a pitcher of water. One could assume that the water was meant for the glass, but just as easily was the water meant for the picture. Shadows and inferences were all that remained on the data.
