"Moving into what seems to be Dr. Despango's private quarters... and viewers, the violence that took place here tells its own story. Or should I say, stories?"
Mox navigates through the twisted metal of the security door, scuffling for a moment, laughing as she gets caught on some twisted bit of metal. With a quick skip she's through and into the room beyond. The feed wavering as she catches her breath.
"This door wasn't just breached - it was... peeled. The kind of force we're talking about here, well, let's just say your standard military-grade cyberware doesn't leave these kinds of marks."
Camera pans across floor, capturing shell casings glinting in the emergency lighting
"High-caliber casings, some kind of custom load... but that's not what catches the eye. The whole room is splattered with what my sensors indicate is a cocktail of industrial lubricants and smart-pigment paint. Classic counter-surveillance tactic, folks. Whoever did this knew they were dealing with next-gen security systems."
Drone focuses on the displaced bed, then sweeps to the sword display case
"Dr. Despango was known for his collection of historical Japanese swords. Several pieces are missing - and judging by the display data, we're talking about the Edo period masterpieces. Fascinating choice of... souvenirs."
Camera hovers over the pristinely clean section of floor
"And here's where it gets truly bizarre. One patch of floor, perfectly cleaned. A mop and bucket left behind like some kind of... what, calling card? Professional courtesy? Next to scattered sandwich crumbs and... hold on..."
Drone zooms in on a paper fragment
"Is that... an origami instruction sheet? In the middle of what looks like a tactical assault scene?"
Wide shot of the chaos
"Someone came in hard, fast, and professional. But they also took time to clean a floor and fold paper. I've covered a lot of crime scenes, chat, but this... this is something else"
