Full lighting replaced a dim glow with rapid elegance as Lieutenant McMorran swept into the Biochemistry Lab on Deck 4. Various stations and experimental devices lined the walls: cloud chambers and various scanner devices tailored to probing organic matter. The lab was empty. Good.

The CSO claimed a workstation, spreading across it the bagged garments she had brought down from the XO’s hot tub. Turning, she addressed the cadet she had brought with her. “T’Mor, begin thoroughly analysing those glasses.”

As pleased as she was with T’Mor’s performance so far, Aili reckoned they could do with some additional help. Besides, half her job on this ship was to give cadets the opportunities they needed to learn the ropes. The more upsetting moments of the investigation had passed at least. Time to see how he works in a team, she thought. =^=McMorran to Cadet Riley. Report to the Biochemistry Lab.=^=

The CSO approached the already present cadet and observed T’Mor’s activity from over her shoulder. “You will brief Cadet Riley on the situation when he arrives.” Without waiting for a response, McMorran made haste over to the far side of the lab and set to work on something. Exactly what she was busying herself with was unclear.

Lt. J.G. Aili McMorran - CSO

Matthew stared at the figures on the screen, fingers tapping on the desk surface. Not quite, he thought. He tapped the screen, reviewing the equations.

Five minutes later he leaned back in the chair and groaned. Too. Many. Numbers. My eyes are going to explode. Then his communicator chimed. He listened to the message and practically jumped up as she finished. That’ll be a good change.

=/\= Acknowledged, Lieutenant. Be there shortly. =/\=

He just barely kept himself from running to the lift. A couple minutes later he entered Lab 1. He glanced around and couldn’t immediately spot the CSO, but did see a Vulcan cadet leaned over a lab table. He approached from the side.

Just as commanded T’Mor began analyzing the glasses and bottle taken from the scene. First thing was to identify to whom those fingerprints belonged. She fed the visual data gathered from her tricorder into the computer, and then waited as it compared the samples to the ship’s database. While waiting, she heard someone else enter the lab.

“Hi,” he began. “I’m Cadet Riley. Lieutenant McMorran asked me to report here… have you seen her?”

“Yes,” T’Mor responded, without looking up, “Lieutenant McMorran is otherwise preoccupied, and has requested that I brief you on the situation at hand.”

With that she turned toward the other Cadet. Though he was only a few inches taller than her, she still took a small step back to make eye-contact a bit easier.

“There has been a death onboard, of one Ensign Janga, the exact cause is as of yet unknown. We are examining the evidence from the scene in an attempt to determine that cause.” Her tone was very steady and plain, not even the mention of death caused any noticeable auditory wavier. Though she was aware that Cadet Riley would not share a similar clinical view of the situation just described.
