Vastitus, Failure Planet

[Jaku] The situation with Delano was… disappointing to say the least. Ever since coming here, Delano had been acting way to freely. I was thoroughly disappointed in him, although I had expected something like this would go wrong eventually but still, it was disappointing. We found Delano sitting in his room flopped over his bed. He had already died. Lying in a pool of vomit and blood, the smell was unbearable. Whoever had done this had been sloppy, not even hiding the fact that it was a murder. Of course the prime suspects would be the women that he had been harassing, but it was possible that someone else had also done it.

Leaving the room we gathered all the women on the ship in the laza. One by one, each was pulled aside into a room and showed a picture of dellano. "Have you been harrassed by this man?" Throughout the three hours of asking, only about twenty of the few hundred people interviewed had actually been harrassed by Delano. Now we had our list of suspects.

Quo Wang, one of the women we had interviewed came up to ask what would be done about the harassment. "Uuuuhhh… We're still trying to figure out what to do about it. For now we are keeping Delano in solitary confinement."

"Thank you," Quo Wang quietly bowed and left. There were a number of people who wanted to know what we were going to do about Delano. Our responses became uniform eventually "He's in solitary confinement for the time being." Eventually the plaza cleared out, we were the only ones left.

"I'm going to go to my room, Narchean can you seal off Delano's room? Make sure no one gets in and no smell gets out."

Everyone from our group went their separate ways. I walked through the hallways under the tall arches. Who would have done this? There were too many variables to tell right now. This would need to be solved soon, lest we lose the peace aboard this ship. My room was on the left wing of the ship. I reached it in a short time. My room is small but convenient, not carpeted with a single bed in the corner but all the essential needs still there. This was the best place for me to think.

I flipped my fake window to my favorite picture, the sunset over a cliff. I sat down, concentrating on my breathing I meditated, sending myself deep into the vortex of my mind. A plan was slowly formulating in my head, as I sat there.

Now having a clear mind and clear plan I headed out. Back down the spacious hallways and up to the control room/bridge. Narchean and Yalson were having a chat in the middle of the room, leaning back in the stiff metal chairs we had. On the holo table a render of the crime scene was pulled up. "Hey guys." I walked over to the wall where a workstation was placed with a real window looking out into space. The beautiful view showed the orange and green planet below with its large curve and bright atmosphere. The Instrument panel blinked lights at me, as if it was alive. I pressed the button for the PA system, "Kitt, Sparrow, please report to the bridge."

Five minutes passed, Sparrow arrived, with Kitt closely following behind him. Kitt gently floated up the stairs. "What's up Jaku?"

"I'd like to go over the plan for finding the murderer."
