[240103.22 In medlab...]
D`Tarik watches as the expected delivery from Vyynd materialized on the two medlab tables. Walking over to the female victim, D`Tarik starts immediately on the autopsy by picking up a laser scalpel and cutting into the female's body. After poking around with what was left of t`Bahyk's innards, D`Tarik takes out a scanner, and begins to search for hair and cloth fibers, not really expecting to find much as the morning dew and the wind probably messed up any chances of that. But luck was with the work-absorbed doctor, and he found a few damaged hairs on her skin. Placing them in the computer-reader for analysis, he turns back to t`Bahyk's body and continues the autopsy.
[Meanwhile, in the Crew's Encampment....]
After running into the Leih, and delivering the lost necklace to Katara with a story of how it had been found laying on the ground - though he told the barmaid that it had been found within the camp - Rylan headed back to the ship, on his way to see if D`Tarik had found anything yet. Almost to the hull breech, he spots Aeris and stops her by pointing his finger in her general direction, and with a grin calling out a cheerful, "Au! Mind walking with me a moment?" And keeps walking, knowing that the female agent would more then likely follow.
Aeris stops and turns slightly to see if she was the one being addressed, then walks curiously over to Rylan, "Ie, rekkhai? What can I help au with?"
"Anything to report on our wandering Tal`Shiar agent?" he questioned without looking at her.
"t`Shibae? Na, rekkhai...sorry." she admits walking beside him, "A team is currently searching, but she will more then likely be hard to find..." she sighed, and looking slightly ashamed of the fact, quietly admitted, "...as she escaped Medlab rather unnoticed...."
Winking at the other female standing guard at the hull breech, Ry enters the ship and questioned Aeris, "Any possible direction? Footprints? Locals saying they've seen a strange, wandering woman having a bad day?" he paused to glance at the agent walking beside him, "Anything at all? What, exactly, has ninte department been doing to locate her?"
"Anything we can, rekkhai..." Aeris watches her feet carefully as she walks, and adds quietly, "How about au try tracking an EnArrain Tal`Shiar agent?" she sighs and holds back from the RS's excited steps forward.
Coming to a stop just outside Medlab's doors, Ry turned towards the girl and said cheerily, "Na. That's na my job... it's *ninte-a*." he winks at her, "And the Leih wants her back, asap. Step up the search for her, eh?"
Not quite knowing what to make of that, Aeris attempted a fake smile at the disturbed male, "Ie, rekkhai...anything else, or shall I return to my duties?" she bows slightly.
"Let's see...." Ry thinks about her question by looking up at the ceiling a moment, then shrugs and nods towards her, "Na. That was it. Just find Aemhig and bring her back. Hann`yyo!" he grins again, then heads off into Medbay. Watching the doors close after the male, Aeris turned and headed back out of the ship.
[In Medlab...]
Rylan's arrival to the Medlab is greeting by D`Tarik's dismayed "Oh, na!" as the doctor suddenly realized that it had been his mutation 'goo' that had given the girl her lovely new wings. He had been too wrapped up in scanning for hairs and fibers that he hadn't taken notice of it before.
Pausing a second at that, Ry asks confused, "Eh? 'Oh, na' what?"
D`Tarik suddenly turns towards Rylan's voice with an almost insane look in his eye. Being covered in blood didn't help him look any less scary. "It would seem that the stuff used to give the young lady here her wings," he points to t`Bahyk's head, "Is something of my own creation." there was a slight pause, before D`Tarik smiled slightly, "But on the bright side of things, I found some hair and skin fibers on her!"
Not seeming to notice either DT's appearance, or Bahyk's body, Rylan grins widely, "Great! Report ninte findings to Vyynd." then after a slight pause he ads with a shrug, "Oh, ie...and the Khensia as well." he glances over towards the bodies, then quickly looks away once more, "And exactly what is this *great discovery* that has au so excited, eh?"
"Wait! There's more!" D`Tarik says almost without hearing him, "The DNA matter is almost done reading the fibers. I might as well have a witness for this!" he spins around and heads toward the computer to check the readings. After looking over the results, he immediately taps a line open to the Daise`Dehno, "Vyynd, report to Medlab immediately. Au may want to take a look at my findings so far on the girl's body. And I still have tr`Beck to check over."
Vyynd's irritated and almost forlorn sounding voice floats back through, "Can't au send all results to my isd, D`Tarik?"
D`Tarik taps him back again, "Okay...if au insist. These are the crew member's hairs and skin fibers I found on her body." he sends them through to the Daise`Dehno's isd. Five separate readings in all: Rylan, tr`Beck, D`Tarik, Vyynd and one reading that was too badly damaged to get a decent reading from.
After a moment, Vyynd's voice comes back, "Ie..hann`yyu rekkhai. Please keep me updated."
Stepping closer to look at the readings over D`Tarik's shoulder, Rylan completely misses the fact that he's been listed. "Don't au wear gloves when au perform an autopsy, DT?" he asks curiously.
"That would be a good idea...." D`Tarik nods, then turns to look up at the taller boy with his hands held up under Ry's nose, "Too bad I'm doing it. Pay more attention!" he smirks.
Passing a paranoid eye over DT's shorter, blood-covered, form Ry questions, "Ie? Then why is there evidence of *au* being at the scene of the crime then, eh?"
"Well...my weapon was apparently used, Rylan. That would explain it." he nods, then suddenly asks, "What are au implying?"
Suddenly grinning again, Rylan slaps the smaller boy lightly on the back, "Na implying anything, DT! Only that au should be more careful with conduction ninte autopsies so au don't contaminate the evidence." he glances over towards the bodies again, then suddenly adds cheerfully, "Hey! Download that stuff.." he waves a hand towards the readings, "to the Khensia too!"
"Too bad she's na working, Rylan," DT turns away from the other, "as the holodeck's power is down...."
This time it was Ry's turn to smirk. "Na they're na, DT. I turned them on! She's profiling as we speak!"
"Oh, well then..." DT rubs his back as the pain from the slap finally caught up to his overworked mind, "I guess I can do that." he taps a few keys to begin the download, then looks at the taller boy, "What is the purpose for getting her up and about again?"
Ry pauses to look at D`Tarik critically a moment, "Too many formaldehyde fumes, DT? Kill off a few too many brain cells?" he smirks, "She's a *Khensia*! She's gonna profile the killer so's we can nab the guy!"
"Oh, okay." D`Tarik nods and hit the 'send' button. "By the way Rylan, au did notice that ninte hairs were found on the girl's body, right?"
Looking slightly sheepish at that, Ry shrugs it off, "Well...ie." he pauses a moment, then admits, "We had a .... a disagreement earlier."
"I see....." DT says a little slowly, "interesting, Rylan! I'm going to start work on tr`Beck now...."
Ry nods at this, "Ie, good plan!" he turns to head out, "Just make sure au tell the Khensia and Vyynd what au find!"
Rhagarokk wanders into the Medlab at just that moment, "Jolan`tru, every-io."
Looking up suddenly, Ry returns the greeting, "Jolan`tru, rekkhai..."
Rhagarokk grins, "How are things going? Figured out the killer yet?"
Rylan glances over at D`Tarik who had snapped back into 'work mode'. He had been so absorbed in working on tr`Beck's body that he hadn't even noticed the Leih walk in. "Well...." Ry hesitates and turns back toward the Leih, "Na yet. DT's finding more stuff though. And Aeris is stepping up the search for Aemhig. But as to the killer, I haven't heard a report from the Khensia yet."
"Good, good..." Rhagarokk acknowledges, "Well, step it up, we've got a war to make! Anyone seen Tacrun?"
Thinking about that for a moment, Ry suddenly taps the Historian-Engineer, "Hey! Location of ninte person?"
"My location is my tent quarters, rekkhai." Tacrun's voice comes back. Ry nods to the Leih and taps back his thanks.
Finding nothing but a lot of water damage to tr`Beck's body as it had been thrown in a river, DT's suddenly interjects "Nathing! Fvadt!" and stands looking over Beck, rubbing his chin in thought.
Rhagarokk nods and taps open the comm to Tacrun himself, "All right, everyone listen up....as soon as we stop this killer, we're going to attack the Gillgama lands and take over their mines."
DT looks over from his work, nodding at the Leih to make sure that Rhagarokk knew he had been heard. Ry nods slightly as well, and asks, "Ie. Are we affiliating ourselves with the ... um... the clan that wiped them out as a cover, rekkhai?"
"Na." Rhagarokk grins, "We're just attacking them."
Ry returns the grin with one of his own, "Okay then. I'll confer with Vyynd and gear up the striker units as soon as we catch the psycho."
"Great...." the Leih gives a half salute, "I've got preparations to go make. Everybody give me status reports in a few hours.
Surprised at the half-salute thing, Rylan quickly salutes back, "Ie, rekkhai...." then heads out to find Vyynd. Rhagarokk exits shortly thereafter, leaving the doctor to his work.
As he was left alone once more, DT goes right back to the task before him. Picking up a scalpel, he begins to cut, and is rewarded by having a stream of blood spray into his eye. "Ewwww.... I hate it when that happens!"
