<snip>Hilo looked at Rainns for a second before turning his attention back to Holmman. The counselor was much more reserved and stone-faced than usual, likely betraying his discomfort with the whole situation. “Have you had instances of blackouts like this before, Commander? Whether alcohol was involved or not, have you known yourself to lose awareness and recollection of events? No matter how rare the occasion.” He hadn’t seen any such indications in Holmman’s medical and psychological records, but if there were previous episodes that had less disastrous results, Holmman might not have reported them.

=/\= Zenzgii to Rainns, I understand there’s been a submission for a workup of the XO’s bathing unit? Please notify me when its clear to enter the space and i’ll get my team right on it. =/\=
Zenzgii, CE
Joseph Rainns swiveled his display screen towards him and began looking through the ships internal comm records, he wanted to find the exact call Holmman was referring to. As he combed through Zenzgii’s transmission came through. =^= Rainns to Zenzgii, I will do so, there is already a team there so unless I am mistaken you can send yours there as soon as they clear out.=^= He looked over to Hilo nodding at his question, the counselor was asking the right questions, so Joseph simply looked over at Holmman, awaiting his response.

“No…, not history of blackouts, well not like this. I have a family history with neurological diseases, but –” Eric was cut off by the comms.
=/\= Davis to Rainns. I require an update as to your investigation. =/\=
Davis, CO (crosspost)

Rainns waited for the internal ship communication records to show a call to Holmman on the date in question. He looked up at the sound of the Captain’s voice. =^= Rainns to Davis, Counselor Hilo and I are interviewing Commander Holmman and collecting his statement. =^= He looked to Holmman, “Don’t let that stop you commander, please continue.”
Lt. Jg. Joseph Rainns- COS
“There’s not much else to add,” Eric said. “My father had a neurological disorder, but my sister and I both tested negative for it. And while as a cadet I may have been the bane of my instructors’, I never blacked out to the point of losing almost 12 hours of memories…”
=^=McMorran to Rainns. It may be relevant for you to know that the security feed of the XO’s quarters appear to have been compromised.=^=
Lt. J.G. Aili McMorran - CSO (Crosspost)
With Eric’s head clearing, and focusing more on his memories from last night, his instincts and habits began to kick in. He stoop up from his seat, eyes focusing. “Rainns, Hilo, I thought this was just an accident, although one that I couldn’t recall for some reason. But between the call for me to come to my quarters just before my memory faded, and now this issue with security cameras, there’s something more going on here. We need to provide a full report to the Captain now.”
(OOC: Keep in mind that I don’t think anyone in this thread knows the autopsy results.)
-Cmdr. Eric Holmman, XO
Hilo looked at Rainns as Holmman stood up. He was very aware that the autopsy report hadn’t been communicated to them yet, and that’s what made him nervous. By Holmman’s own admission, this was seeming less and less like an accident. Which, unfortunately for Holmman, meant that Hilo was wary of his involvement, considering he was the only person they had connected to the scene.
“Maybe it’s best if we stay here until we receive orders from the captain to relocate,” he said diplomatically. “This whole situation has thrown the ship into a bit of a frenzy, and we wouldn’t want to get in anyone’s way on the bridge or en route to it.” Hilo rose from his chair as well, but moved to the replicator on the wall of the chief of security’s office. “Do either of you want anything to drink?” Not too subtle of a ‘good cop’ routine, but it wasn’t a disingenuous gesture. Hilo was feeling a bit dry in the mouth himself, and promptly ordered a glass of water. He glanced at Rainns apologetically as he sipped the drink, hoping the Lieutenant wasn’t offended by him taking the initiative to use his facilities.
