[Private to Ben | Audio]

Ben, I need to know what happened today.

[Private to Zack | Audio]*

I need to know if you two have spoken. He's going to be held accountable for someone's murder [and Rhade is very perplexed by this, because Ben doesn't lie], and he's been concerned with how you were going to react when you spoke to him. Did he seem in control of himself?

[Private to Charles | Audio]

Would it be possible for you to examine and speak with Ben? Review him for outside influences? Fugue states? I don't believe he is lying to me when he says he was in his room, but considering this ship...

[Private to Dylan | Audio]

[All that awkward from before? Have to forget it.] I need your help.

[Warden Filter | Audio]

Who here is a competent detective or is experience with forensics, or alternately has an inmate you would trust to assist in an investigation? [He wants to be careful and not get Ben into more trouble.]

OOC: And I'll be adding a bunch more to this, and there will be a plotting post for detective types to investigate.
*Timed to after his conversation with Ben.

[He doesn't like doing it without the other person's permission, but after Doyle's post...]

I suppose so. Has something happened?

[Ben is confused, of course, because he's been too distracted to pay much attention to the network as he usually would. Doyle's vision had unnerved him though not for the reasons most would think - regardless, in an effort to avoid any complications, he'd decided he would just spend as much of his time away from other people as possible to prevent whatever was supposed to happen from happening.

And then this. Ben hesitates, confused and still partially distracted when he does reply.]

Alright. Where, with whom, and when?

[Dylan sets aside his own awkwardness. Rhade's tone sounds serious so he answers professionally, like they're on duty together.]

What's the situation?

I have some experience in carrying out investigations.

[Although he may occasionally lick things when he thinks no one is watching.]

[Zack's not sure what to think of Rhade. Mostly, he harbours a mixture of respect (for helping Ben where he couldn't, his brother is so close to stable it's unbelievable), and jealousy (that he wasn't the one to do this for Ben). He does know one thing: he doesn't have to pretend.

So when he flicks on the audio feed to respond, he's all fire.]

Who's the accusor?

Investigated many cases before came here.

What happened?

[Barbara doesn't look worried, as such; it's more intent concern, and it doesn't affect the cool, calm quality of her voice.]

I'm experienced in both.

What's happened?

I don't have experience with any of that, but Bruce Wayne's a friend of mine and I'm volunteering him.

[Determined face.]

Is this about what I think it is?

[Ben, for the first time outside of extenuating circumstances such as suddenly being ten years old or giant spiders, is late to report for his dinner shift.

Ten minutes after he is supposed to be there - fifteen after Ben specifically normally would be - he opens the feed to his warden, voice neutral and even.]

Apologies for being late, sir, but I need to stop at my cabin and change into a fresh shirt before reporting for duty. I will be as quick as I can.
