EXETERRPG: (2 - 1033) 2O/CEO - Lt. Cmdr. Keira Merek

[Todd Holladay]

Mission: Murder on the Exeter Express
Day: 2
Stardate: 2445.12.02

(USS Exeter – Main Engineering – CEO Office – 2O/CEO – Lt. Cmdr. Keira Merek -  1033)

Over the past hour Keira had run every retrieval program she knew of to try and recover the missing data. Had it been just deleted the recovery programs would have bore some kind of fruit. A time stamp, a piece of a name or the code, something. When they wrote over the exact same quad of data (perhaps several times) each rewrite made the retrieval more and more improbable, maybe into the realms of impossible.

She took a sip of coffee not realizing how long it had been there and spit the cold beverage right back into the cup.

“Remind me never to do that again.” She said in disgust to no one and pushed the beverage and container to the side of her desk. Mentally she made a note to recycle it back into the replicator, later. Which made her think, maybe this trail has gone too cold. Working it at this angle has yielded as many results as it is going to, with the techniques at her disposal. She sent her copy of the file along with her findings up to that point and her notes into the main case file in the protected security section of the computer. She was sure Ravok would see it and further delegate it appropriately.

It was time to attack this from another angle. How did the killer get into the room? A transporter would work, but there would be more logs if they beamed from the Exeter, any of the transporter rooms would take time to use, time to alter and they likely would have been seen, and in the time frame, would have left a trace. Not to mention also would have left a log getting into and out of that door if they transported conventionally, and the site to site coils hadn’t been used since the mission to the Gamma Quadrant, she had checked the coils were cold. Transporting from or to another ship would still leave a transporter trace. She continued to work the issue. She hoped to have something by the time came for her to report her findings.
