Re: Part 16 - Unsolved mystery
Moving hastily aside, Barsh gives Rhijans a nervous grin, "Sorry. Not used to this sort of thing." You-Why shuffles away from the door, seeming dejected by the lack of interrogation opportunities presented by the current situation.
Then Haarmon gives him a distraction. "I am not an astromech unit, of course, but I can try." He surveys the console for a moment, then, "Do you know where I can access a dataport? Is this one? The configuration looks a little odd."
A still image of the lynch mob appears before Haarmon, and several reticules appear, bracketing faces in the crowd. Then, one by one, more images appear. Images from the base's personnel archives, medical records, security files. Each of them is a portrait, and each portrait is a match for the selected faces on the main image.
After a few moments the screen changes, displaying only the portraits, and alongside each one there is a name, and a few personal details.
Then the system starts searching through the surveillance logs... and immediately starts returning hits. Unfortunately each of those hits indicates that the person in question was here, in the security facility, a short while ago. With varying degrees of patience, everybody waits as the system looks back through older and older records...
