IC - 2 Landing - Everyone

By the waning years of the 22nd century, humanity has expanded beyond Earth, establishing colonies on Mars, Ceres, and the moons of Jupiter and Saturn; the latter of these being largely penal or mining colonies, taking advantage of the isolation and mineral wealth of these moons. One such colony, known as Benedict’s Rest, was established on the shores of the north polar sea of Ligeia Mare on the moon Titan, in the year 2169. Originally a penal colony that used convict labor to harvest liquid methane, Benedict’s Rest was bought out by a German energy conglomerate, Richter Dynamics, and expanded; now, in 2189, contract, or “free” miners outnumber convicts 5 to 1—158 free miners to 31 convicts.

The colony’s productivity, formerly the highest of any Richter colony site, has dropped 19% in the last month with no reasonable explanation provided. In the same period, the colony medic, Dr. Henry Holzer, has died; the administration has been vague regarding cause, though it has been intimated that he committed suicide. Over the objections of colony administrator James Kingsley, Richter Dynamics has sent a team of corporate troubleshooters to investigate these two issues and make recommendations to revive productivity.

Kingsley gives another broad smile, 'Primitive is as primitive does Doctor. Now, is there anything else you'd like to know before we call this meeting to a close?'
OOC,Anymore questions for Kingsley? I take it that the doctor wants to go to the medical bay, Sam and Kiara to engineering and then the pumps, what about Virgil and Nicole?

"Wait Doctor Johnson, I will be coming with you."

Nicole turns to Administrator Kingsley, smiles warmly and offers a handshake, "Nicole Favre, Colonial Marshall."

"I just need to confirm that there are no suspicious circumstances around Doctor Holzer's death that warrant further investigation. It is just a formality I would imagine.

"Nurse Richards discovered the Doctor's body?"

Kingsley frowns and just looks at Nicole's hand without taking it. 'As I said, I do not know the details, I am a very busy man, I suggest you read the official report or talk to Sergeant Montrose or Nurse Richards about what they found.'

Unperturbed, Nicole lowers her hand, "I understand - there is no rest for the wicked, yes? Then I shall delay you no longer Mr. Kingsley."

She turns to follow Jojo, "Shall we go Doctor?"

"Thank you for your time, Mr. Kingsley," says Sam, "and for that fine whiskey. We'd better get started."
OOC,Yes, that's my plan.

Kiara quietly sidles up to Sam, signalling her readiness to continue on to engineering.

“Seems like a nice guy,” she mutters.

“I assume I can get all details about recent events and the colony’s activities from CENTRAL? And I assume I have full access to the highest levels as regards security? Is this correct? If so, I can leave you to your business.” Says Virgil.

She turns to follow Jojo, "Shall we go Doctor?"
Jojo seems to notice Nicole as he hears his name.

"Hmmm? Oh, yes, let's go."

With that, he leaves the room and goes to the medical clinic.

While Virgil finishes talking to Kingsley, Nicole and Jojo leave the meeting followed by Kiara and Sam. They find Officer Tyson waiting for them. 'I can take you wherever you want to go, it'll be quicker in the bus.'

Moses says he will accompany Kiara and Sam to the engineering facility while Isabella will return to the residential suite to start examining CENTRAL's error logs.
OOC,I will create new threads in the next day or so for engineering and medical,we'll see where Virgil wants to go

Kingsley looks Virgil up and down, a disapproving expression on his face. 'I'm afraid not all of our records are available through CENTRAL, some things are still stored offline, the colony financial records for instance. If you would like to see them I'm sure that our accounts department could have them ready for you by tomorrow, perhaps if you come back around 10am, yes, they should be ready by then.'

He gives a wide somewhat sickening smile, 'Gentlemen, ladies, I think that concludes our meeting, I really have a lot to do, I hope your investigations are fruitful...and quick '
