<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Host Syran says:
::Sits in his office going over paperwork::
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
::Waits to be let into Syran's office::
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
::Waits with Powers wondering what to expect::
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
::Performs a function check on his tricorder::
Host Syran says:
<Officer> CSec: Sir Syran is ready for you now.
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
::Nods once, and turns towards the door, pushing it open and stepping inside::  Syran: Good day, Minister.
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
::Puts the tricorder away, and follows Powers::
Host Syran says:
::Syran looks up and over some reading glasses:: CSec: Ah, come in Lieutenant.
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
::Once again wonders how important they consider this investigation::  Syran: I'd like to ask someone some questions regarding the previous murders.
Host Syran says:
CSec: Yes I was just going over some of the preliminary findings again.
Host Syran says:
::Tidies the papers:: CSec: I assume you've seen them?
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
Syran: The records, at least.
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
Syran: I can't figure out what all the victims had in common.  Do you have any theories?
Host Syran says:
CSec: Well they were all of the Eylan party.
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
Syran: Pardon my ignorance.. but the Eylan party?
Host Syran says:
CSec: They are the less conservative political influence in the territory. We of the Daasan hold more....................traditional views.
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
::Nods as he listens, and makes some notes in his padd::
Host Syran says:
CSec: We are in power in the interim due to some initial difficulties the Eylan had in choosing a party leader.
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
Syran: However, if their party picked a leader... power would revert back to them?
Host Syran says:
::Chuckles a bit:: CSec: No, no Lieutenant. There would have most likely been a joint government formed in the interim.
Host Syran says:
CSec: Forgive my amusement Lieutenant but I can tell you are not much for politics.
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
::Shrugs::  Syran: No, not much.  Politics are words without meaning.  Do you have any suspects?  Those in your party who may wish power for themselves?  Or an Eylan who wishes your party not in power?
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
Syran: ::Clears throat:: Were any of the decedents in contention for the role of party leader?
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
::Brings up the Doctor's preliminary findings on the 18 victims on his padd::
Host Syran says:
CSec: Harrumph........::Clears throat a bit uneasy::
Host Syran says:
CSO: There are always dissidents, which makes things even more difficult. ::Smiles politely::
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
Syran: So, Minister... suspects?
Host Syran says:
CSec: Uhm.........our main suspect is...................the interim Prime Minister.
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
::Eyes widen::  Syran: What motivation would he have?
Host Syran says:
CSec: Well the evidence is all circumstantial but there are quite a few things pointing back to him.
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
::Might be starting to suspect Syran with his way of not really answering his questions::  Syran: Such as, sir?
Host Syran says:
::Leans forward:: CSec: Well to be frank Lt. Powers it is very uncomfortable discussing the Prime Ministers role in this. After all he is our leader, at the moment.
Host Syran says:
CSec: We have found several items belonging to the Prime Minister at the crime scenes.
CSO_Ens-Kirkbride says:
::Replays Syran's answer a couple of times in his mind before deciding he probably misunderstood::
CSO_Ens-Kirkbride says:
Syran: I'm sorry. What I meant to ask was 'were any of the deceased in line for power in their party?'
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
Syran: Would the Prime Minister have any other reason to visit these places?  Alibis?  Witnesses to his location at the times of the murders?
Host Syran says:
CSO: No but they were sometimes at odds with the Prime Minister's position on some issues.
CSO_Ens-Kirkbride says:
::Nods and makes some notes::
CSO_Ens-Kirkbride says:
::Thinks '18 victims over the course of 90 days? Hmmm'::
Host Syran says:
CSec: As to if he had reasons to be at the crime scenes I do not know. And the unfortunate fact is that he has no alibis aside from that he was working late on each of the nights a murder occurred.
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
Syran: Is he your only suspect?
Host Syran says:
CSec: Yes at the moment. We had others but they were dismissed because there alibis were.....................oh how do the Terrans say it? Metal coated?
CSO_Ens-Kirkbride says:
Syran: Does the PM typically work late? Or was he only working late on the nights that coincided with the murders?
Host Syran says:
CSO: With the elections quickly approaching he has been known to work late on a regular basis.
CSO_Ens-Kirkbride says:
Syran: ::nods::
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
Syran: I'm not sure if I can ask something like this... but would it be possible to ask the Prime Minister some questions?
CSO_Ens-Kirkbride says:
::Thinks 'Of course you can ask that...you just did.' But keeps it to himself::
Host Syran says:
::Thinks for a few moments::
Host Syran says:
::Hesitates:: CSec: Well yes and no.
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
::As he thought::
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
Syran: Mister Minister, may I speak bluntly?
Host Syran says:
CSec: Please.......proceed.
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
Syran: You asked us here to help with your investigation.  I'm trying to help, but I feel like you're holding me back.  I can't get straight answers from you, I can't question the prime suspect...
Host Syran says:
CSec: Forgive me Lt.
Host Syran says:
CSec: I am a man without much. All I have is my job. However sometimes I feel like that would be at jeopardy if I said what I really thought.
CSO_Ens-Kirkbride says:
Syran: Would it be possible to inspect the PM's office? The PM's personal items left at the crime scenes?
Host Syran says:
CSec: You may speak with the Prime Minister but he may deem it as an insult if you spoke with him.
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
::Looks around and steps closer to Syran:: Syran: It's just the three of us... Mister Kirkbride certainly wouldn't say anything, and neither would I... Starfleet officers stay out of local politics.
Host Syran says:
CSO: Well.........
Host Syran says:
CSec: Our customs would never allow an inferior of one people to speak to a superior of another. ::Blushes::
CSO_Ens-Kirkbride says:
Syran: This is true. It goes against our Prime Directive.
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
::Continues on::  Syran: What if you're next?  What if you DON'T tell us everything you know?
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
Syran: I believe I understand... is it that a high-ranking official may only speak with a high ranking official?
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
Syran: Ah, yes.  We have seen this in many cultures.  Who would be sufficient?  Our Captain?  An Admiral?
Host Syran says:
CSec: Yes that is it. Your Captain would suffice. I believe he is the highest-ranking Starfleet official on the planet, is he not?
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
::nods::  Syran: Indeed he is.
Host Syran says:
CSec: Please contact your Captain and I will arrange a meeting with the Prime Minister where you may be present and ask all the questions you wish.
CSO_Ens-Kirkbride says:
::Takes some more notes::
