"The sight I had seen was beyond any comprehension it was something straight out of the middle ages. What was more interesting was the actual task of solving the crime....."

January 31, 2384 - 03:25 hours

The crew quarters of Ensign Kate Parker was the scene of a terrible crime. Commander Soliel and Lieutenant Dakul were in the doorway speaking, and Doctor Katts was scanning the body of Ensign Parker. Taylor was scanning the room with a tricorder as Captain Devore walked into the door way.

"So tell what has happened Commander ?" Devore asked.

"It's difficult to say Captain, but the known facts are these. Somebody has beaten Ensign Parker and didn't stop after she had died. Ensign Taylor found her around 02:59 hours And someone had disabled the Comm system on this level at 02:35 hours exactly." Soliel said.

Devore gave a frown and looked at the battered body lying on the bed hands tied and in a pool of blood. "Mr. Taylor, I want a report in my ready room in two hours." Devore said catching Taylor off guard.

"Oh okay sir."

Taylor worked hard collecting the evidence and writing out a report. It seemed very trying to him but he managed to get it done. He walked into the ready room with three Padds and was very excited in a morbid way. For he had wanted to work a case like this for a while. Now he had the chance to do it, and he felt guilty about it very much. The young ensign approached the captain's ready room and pressed the bell. From inside the tired and weary voice of the captain told him to come in. As he did he saw the Captain examining some information on his computer.

"Take a seat Ensign." Devore said sitting on his couch in his ready room.

"Sir may I began ?"

"Go ahead Taylor."

"Ensign Kate Parker was killed around 02:42 hours, due to multiple head and face trauma. Ensign Katts......"

"Doctor..." The Captain corrected.

"Doctor Katts determined that there was no sexual assault. She appeared to get a few blows into the murder. We found two blood types at the scene. We assume that one belonging to the murder and the other one to the victim."

Devore interrupted. "Ensign I want you to solve this crime, find who ever did this."

Taylor sat back and had to speak. 'Sir, thanks. I feel guilty sir I have wanted this my whole life, now it's here it doesn't feel right."

"Well Ensign, the thing is... now you can help bring this person to justice. You have that power now, just as the killer had the power to kill."

Then the comchannel peeped.

[Captain. Commander Soliel here, there's been another murder. Deck seven, enlisted quarters. It's a female again.]

"......So I was given another crime to solve, it was the first time I ever felt more afraid of one person then the Drill Master at Starfleet Academy."
