Hinckley

Is there anything written on these days that are circled?

Whatever a day timer is, I'd like to read it.

"Was not or is not? Is he dead?" I'd like to flip up the mattress to see if there's anything underneath it. Or just hold it up to the light. "If he's not dead, we're just poking around his room. He seemed like a pretty grump fellow, so I'm sure he won't appreciate this if he's alive and discovers it."

I'd like to search the drawers.

I would like to push the unlocked door open

"I suppose that's where we differ, vastly. I assumed they were all murderers." Gabriella takes a sip from her martini. "Where did this come from??!"

"Way to toe the company line, Arthur. Our guests have money, surely. But I suspect most of them obtained it by ill-gotten means. That's how I view most well-off people anyway. We're surrounded by lawyers, politicians, businessmen...artists. They're all awful... no offense, sickos. Just my opinion."

This would be nice. "I'll vote for visiting Ezra's cabin next as well." "Captain Bennett, Arthur, can we agree to bring our keys to the security terminal to learn if any of us accessed Engineering right before the FTL drive shutdown?"

"Aha, @Shadows and @jimmynick , to steal the machine, gotcha. That makes more sense. I'll try to listen more. Then, why would they kill Ezra? Are the cabins adjacent to each other? Perhaps Ezra simply overheard the struggle. Assuming Ezra is dead... Also, why didn't they take anything after Alfie was dead?"

I'm referring to the key cards. Is it possible to scan the card at one of the terminals to see which doors on the ship the key card has accessed and at what times, specifically I'd like to know what key card accessed Engineering right before the FTL drive shut down.

"Then why did they cut the power?"

"Again, what isn't premeditated about shutting down the ship's FTL drive so they can take the security systems offline? Even removing the teapot from the equation for now. If someone just wanted to go to Artie's cabin to chat, why not knock on the door or raise him on a comms terminal? Why shut down the FTL drive to take the security systems down? "

"Perhaps Charlotte @Pandora , Emily @jimmynick or George @Lind Whisperer recognize the names of the financial backers? Or maybe even Oliver @Trekkie99? Hell, perhaps everyone should check the names."

@Waterbrick Down @Shadows "Captain Bennett, Arthur, why are you both suggesting this may have been accidental? Why would someone go through the trouble of shutting down the advanced and sophisticated FTL drive in order to shut down only the security systems, go grab a tea pot and go to Alfie's room? You think that was a friendly endeavor on the perpetrator's part? Odd that two people with access to the Engineering room are suggesting the death of Alfie wasn't murdered. Very interesting." Gabriella would like to see if the terminal in the room will scan a key card to reveal what doors have been accessed and at what times.

"So, the person brought the teapot for friendly purposes? Where are the teacups, then?"

I would like to attempt to read the technical schematics and read the names involved in the patent review. You let me worry about that.

Gabriella thinks out loud, "Perhaps Noah @Kristel missed it when I said we don't currently have that, which is why the terminal where the culprit shut the FTL drive down from has been quarantined until we do gain such capabilities." I'd like to hide all the evidence, the machine parts...and the frog...in my underwear so that I know they will be secure.

"It'd be easier to tell if Emily hadn't smashed the freakin' pot. We could try to piece it all back together to find out. "

"I haven't touched the original missing shard yet. I just picked up the pieces stupid Emily smashed on the ground." I would like to examine the mechanical objects in Alfie's briefcase.

"That shit gets everywhere. Like sand for a Jedi."

" :wub: " Gabriella is speechless with emotion. She suddenly experiences the severe medical condition of having hearts sprout out of her head. WTF??

"The Excelsior is my baby and the Captain's wife. So I'm the Captain's mother-in-law. And I 100% approve of their lesbian union."

"Oh fine, make me look like the asshole. " "Don't make me like you. Nobody's my friend when my ship has been sabotaged." I'd like to further inspect this stupid frog as I only got a generic description the first freakin' time.

"Well then, inspect it while I'm busy with the briefcase!!! " "Or fucking paint something if you're just going to be worthless." Gabriella remembers that other humans have feelings and feels terrible about yelling at Oliver. "I'm sorry, dipshit. Will you please look at the fucking frog already? Thank you."

"Sorry kids, we gotta do this while there's still some warmth in the body." Starting with the thumb of Alfie's right hand, I'd like to try all of his fingers and thumbs on the lock for the briefcase. I'm not forgetting about that frog either, but since we can only do one at a time...
