[240103.22 Crime Scene...]
Vyynd brushes off his apron, taking it off and folding it, then taps his com and calls through, "Two bodies to medbay..." Finishing his clean up, he begins his rounds to return the stolen items after their extensive documentation.
[Tacrun tr`Hunrok's Tent....]
Tacrun scratches his head and puts down his book, *I've been at this for hours....* he thinks silently to himself, *and I've found na-thing. I wonder if anything else has happened?* he stands and stretches, *or maybe, I'll check out the bar....* Hearing a knock against the tent post outside, Tacrun first mutters, "Hmm?" then goes to the tent flap and looks out.
Vyynd doesn't bother to wait for Tacrun's face to appear before he opens the flap door, but is suddenly interrupted as Sprinkles hops up next to him and squeaks, "Au are the io who's going to find the bad person, right? That's what D`Tarik said...."
"What in the...?!" Vyynd turns, still holding the fabric up as Tacrun's head appears, and looks down at the Tribble, grinning merrily, "Ie, little io...unless *au* know where he is?" he smiles and places the Tribble gently on his own shoulder as he walks into the engineer's tent. Poor ignored tr`Hunrok jumps back to avoid being run into. Vyynd looks at the Rihan before him, grinning, tossing the lost book lightly up and down in one hand, "Jolan`tru! I have that book au were looking for...."
Tacrun's eyes light up at seeing his book returned, "Hann`yyo, rekkhai!" he extends his hand out waiting for the Tal`Shiar officer to give him the tome.
"Jolan`tru!" Sprink, remembering his manners, says with a slight squeak from atop Vyynd's shoulder.
"Jolan`tru to au as well!" Tacrun says to the creature, delighted to have his book back once more. As Sprinkles gives off a resounding, pleased 'SQUEEK!', Tacrun returns his gaze to the agent, "May I ask where au found it, rekkhai?"
Handing the boy the found book happily, Vyynd explains, "It was laying in the grass, out in a field, with a lot of the crew's stolen items." he pets Sprink with a finger, making the Tribble coo happily.
Speaking absentmindedly to himself, Tacrun muses, "What was it doing out there?"
"Our...umm, mysterious attacker...must have gathered them for some intention...possibly to incriminate the entire crew." Vyynd explains, as if it wasn't really important.
"Oh!" Sprinkles suddenly interrupts, "D`Tarik wanted me to tell au that he got what au sent to him." then adds with a dejected sounding sad little squeak, "He wouldn't let me see what it was..."
"Ie....good." Vyynd pats the Tribble on the head approvingly.
Looking first at the Tribble, Tacrun smiles a bit, then turns back to Vyynd, "Hmm...incriminate the crew? Why do that?"
"Why na make -everyone- more of a suspect?" Vyynd answers.
"True, but was stuff of all the crew taken? And couldn't au just get some type of finger print data from each of the things found?" then adds, remembering his station, "Though, I'm sure au have already thought of that, rekkhai..."
As Sprinkles gives off a series of confused little coos at the boy's conversation, Vyynd smiles at tr`Hunrok, "Ie, all of the conceivable tests have been run, or are being run. Now, I must be off. I delivered something of importance, I have to go see how it was received. Anything else for au today?" he asks cordially.
Looking a bit ashamed of himself, Tacrun admits, "I was just gonna' go out myself. May I accompany au, rekkhai?"
"Well..." Vyynd grins, placing his fingers through his hair in the familiar way of his, "Medlab can't look pretty right about now..." he evades with a shrug, "And I doubt au would be cleared to enter it with the current state of security."
"Oh..." Tacrun scratches his head at this, "Okay then. I'll just get back to my research, maybe I'll find something useful. Bedah, rekkhai." he turns away from the agent and approaches his desk.
"Well...hold on...." Vyynd looks over his isd briefly, "Care for a drink?" he smiles, "I only have to return a few more things. Au may follow along for that, then we can enjoy some drinks....?" But almost as soon as the words left his mouth, D`Tarik's voice comes through his com. Vyynd listened with a slight frown at D`Tarik issuing a summons to appear in medlab. Sighing a little sadly, still intent on wanting a quick drink, Vyynd taps back, "Can't au send all results to my isd, D`Tarik?"
"Okay, if au insist...." D`Tarik's voice comes through the com, as the medical Daise's findings download themselves onto Vyynd's isd.
"Ie...hann`yyo, rekkhai." Vyynd acknowledges through the com, "Please keep me updated. Vyynd stares into the innards of Tacrun's tent for a moment, remembering many things. "On second thought, sorry Tacrun, but I must be off to take care of some things...Jolan`tru!" he finishes, placing Sprinkles gently down upon a table, before quickly rushing out of the tent.
"Bedah, rekkhai..." Tacrun says as the flaps on his tent once more fall in place, leaving him alone with the Tribble. Tacrun sits down at his desk and again starts to leaf through his books again. Sprink stays on the table Vyynd had placed him at, his little mouth wide open and drooling over a can of unopened soda sitting a few inches away from himself. Tacrun looks over to the Tribble and follows the creature's gaze to the soda. Smiling, he asks kindly, "Au want that, little fellow?"
Sprink squeaks out a happy and hopeful sounding "IE!" from a wide toothy grin.
Picking up the soda, Tacrun opens it and places the can back in front of Sprink, the returns his attention back to his research. Sprink doesn't even so much as say a quick 'hann`yyo', nor does he think about such mundane matters. He simply grabs it so hard with his claw, that the can opens a bit and begins to chug it. Tacrun glimpses up from his research to watch the display a moment, then smiles again, and buries his nose back in his book.
Finished with the soda, Sprink sets the almost-crushed can down, and with a highly excited-sounding little squeak -- probably due to too much caffeine in the soda -- he asks curiously, "Hey, what are au doing?"
"I'm doing temporal research." Tacrun smiles, "Au might be interested in what I'm reading now, Sprink. It's about Tribbles.
"Is it about me?!" Sprinkles asks surprised.
"It might just be." Tacrun nods, "I didn't get very far in it before someone stole it. It's basically the alternate history, where Tribbles rule the universe." he explains, showing the little guy one of the pictures in the tome.
"Oooh! Ahhhh!" Sprink coos, impressed, "Pretty pictures!"
Tacrun grins at that, but before he can tell the Tribble more about what he had been reading, he hears the RS's voice come over the com asking for his location. Tapping back, Tacrun responds, "My location is in my tent quarters, rekkhai."
"Me too!" Sprink yells in a squeak, not even sure if Rylan could have heard him.
After a slight pause, the Leih's voice comes over the line. Tacrun listens in intently, now ignoring Sprinkles altogether. As the Leih finishes relaying his plan, and calls for status reports within a few hours, Tacrun nods and smiles a bit to himself as he taps back an "Ie, rekkhai..." then focused back once more on his work.
