Campaign & Party

Satunda, 13 Melona, 12731T

20240504 Tolla Archive Library Station, Part Deux

by KitKat the Mentat

((May the Fourth be with You.))
 
In about an hour, Vanya inspected others among the initiates for any memory issues, while Almon and I discovered seven different tugs (located close together) which held the virus program which caused the random delay which would cause chaos and damage which allowed the murder to go unnoticed for a few moments.
 
I asked an initiate who selected work shifts, who would know if all 7 drone tugs were expected to be operational today. They sent me to Librarian Ambi Trulam.
 
Trulam, a fireplug of a human, short and squat with a neatly trimmed beard, mentioned that a baffler could be used to hide from the sensors and said that Librarian Roku took care of the staffing issues (the same one who had greeted us at the "door") . He confirmed my assumption that the missing book would have been protected by higher security after delivery, (a security detail with at least a pair of librarians), so the attacker/thief had to move before the Trandoshan courier delivered his book, (his holocron holobinder, "The Treatise of Inner Alchemy").
 
I mentioned to Librarian Trulam that I deduced that I was searching for a (single) person who had been on the station a number of days at least, who had been trained in the architectural structure of the Library, who knew that a tug was to be used today but did not know exactly which one, and who had learned a few specifics of the sensors. This would be someone like a commando, with personal combat skills, programming skills, excellent dexterity, and possibly extravehicular operations practice.
 
On the way to meet up with Librarian Roku and Jedi Vanya, Almon and I attempted to build a 4-dimensional simulation of the security/maintenance video. With our limited time and limited computational power, we found only that it was possible that the graceful leaps of the dark "shadow" could have been a very athletic person wearing a dark encounter-suit, but they could have been the shadows of a baffled commando or spy who's actual image was disguised and invisible to the sensors except for the shadow cast.
 
 
Vanya met us on our way and questioned Almon (in his guise as "Heath") about how to defend against Bene Gesserit Assassin's Hunter Killer drones. Between the two of them, they came up with a modification we could make to the station's lighting system's firmware to interfere with the short-range communication of the Hunter Killers.
 
She also mentioned that she had the local 2B medical droid searching the visitors list for suspects.
attacker used stun not lethal force, memories will return.
med glove
mouse droinds in vents distance
 
Vanya suggested Nogri bounty hunter or assassin, but those much shorter than average person. Maybe Mandalorian but rare. Maybe Bounty Hunter. Maybe veteran of Alliance. or Galactic Star Empire after Palpatine's niece assumed the throne. Sort visitors list. it is secure to the Library. Maybe Janitorial staff.
Almon suggested escape by standing in obvious view, maintenance crew, . boneworm venom can be chilled.
