I'd like to check the layout of the bathroom

The bathroom is very simple. It has a small shower, a typical space toilet, and a sink/mirror combination. It would appear the mirror does not open and most of the toiletries that Arthur has are on the sink itself.

Missed that. Inside the shoebox are some of Arthur's prized valuables, including a nice watch, a ring, and a little booklet.

I’d like to check inside the booklet for any clues

Emily prises the back off the watch to see what's inside.

The booklet has some banking information and other information that's of a sensitive nature.

There's nothing there and you nearly break the watch.

Grace will analyze the fingerprints.

The fingerprints are that of Gabriella and Emily. 

[jimmynick]

“The presence of my prints is unsurprising given I’ve handled the note and this the very note I was surreptitiously passed at the bar, but can Gabriella explain how she got her grubby engineer’s fingers all over it?”

[Duvors]

"Well, considering it's addressed to 'G', I'd say she's the intended recipient. Though why it was still in Sawyer's room is anybodies' guess."

[Shadows]

*struts into the room* "I'm back!"

*everyone stares* "What? I've had a lot of coffee today, it's only natural. None of you poop?"

"We found the killer yet? Anyone need to be shot? Is that idiot still breaking things? Can I just shoot them???"

[Bob]

One more place can be searched before this chapter ends and the final one is posted.

[Waterbrick Down]

"Would it make sense to search the Captain's quarters or Gabriella's next?"

"Agreed"

[Tariq j]

I agree as well.

I touch a lot of things.

I'll also vote to search my quarters.

[Bob]

Gabriella's quarters are of a similar size to Arthur's. There's the same layout with the desk and computer console as well as a dresser and set of cabinets. There's a full length mirror and a small box of trinkets. Various electrical devices are around the room in various states of repair and disrepair.

[Trekkie99]

I'd like to inspect the small box of trinkets

[Waterbrick Down]

Arthur will check the cabinet.

[Duvors]

Grace will examine the desk.
