Jacobs

I’m Detective Jacobs. I’m looking into the death of Irene Hamilton on behalf of her husband. I understand you saw Irene not long before her death?

Character
Will
Dialogue
It was so sudden. It still doesn’t feel real, to be honest. But I thought Irene died of natural causes? Why are you investigating?

Jacobs
Dialogue
New information has come to light. It looks like there might have been foul play. Now, I understand that you were having some money problems?

Well… Yeah. Being an artist isn’t exactly a lucrative gig.

The Hamiltons have supported you in the past. But the money dried up, didn’t it? Did that make you angry?

Will
Dialogue
Angry? No! They’ve given me more than I ever had any right to ask for. The fact that they’d fallen on hard times, too… Well, I can empathize with that.

Will

Look, I didn’t kill Irene, if that’s what you’re getting at. She’s– she was one of my oldest friends. I would never hurt her.

Now, if you don’t mind, I have better things to do than defend myself to a two-bit PI.

Scanning the victim now…

Maia
Dialogue
I have found something. An unexpected compound in the victim’s blood.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Jacobs
Dialogue
Can you analyze it?
Objective ID
1,463,836,993
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
Certainly. The compound is the by-product of chemical decay. I am detecting a match with a toxin produced by a local plant, Segnesia.

Character
Jacobs
Dialogue
How the hell did the coroner miss this?
Objective ID
1,463,836,993
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
The toxin is virtually untraceable until it has decayed. Moreover, it is slow-acting, so it would have to have been administered around 48 hours before the victim’s death.

Jacobs
Dialogue
That’s a solid lead, Independent. I’m impressed. Let’s talk to the husband, see if he knows who might have been around his wife in that timeframe.

But… Who would want to kill Irene?

Someone who was present at the dinner party she held last week. We understand you and her shared a heated conversation that night.

A heated conversation? She asked for my help planning a surprise party for her husband. His birthday is coming up soon.

Is that so? Your friend Elinor seemed sure that there was more to it than that.

I assure you, there wasn’t. And I don’t know that I would describe Elinor as my friend.

What do you know about the Segnesia plant, Marta?

I know it’s a slow-release toxin… And you think I used it to poison Irene.

You have the skills to distill the poison, no?

Marta

I wouldn’t know. I haven’t tried. I didn’t kill Irene, and I resent the implication. Stop wasting your time here and find my friend’s killer.

You were an old friend of Irene’s, yes?

That’s right. An old friend.

You saw Irene shortly before her death. Was she acting strange at all?

Elinor
Dialogue
I didn’t notice anything. Except… Well, Irene and Marta seemed to be having an intense conversation. And now that I think about it– Marta’s a medic.

Elinor

She’d know how to murder someone and get away with it.

Detective Jacobs. I’m investigating the death of one Irene Hamilton, deceased this day last week.

Coroner
Dialogue
As I’ve already told the husband, there’s nothing to investigate. I did a thorough examination of the body. No sign of foul play.

Jacobs
Dialogue
How did she die, then?

Coroner
Dialogue
Sudden arrhythmic death syndrome.

Which means to say, you don’t know for sure. What’s the harm in letting the Independent here conduct a scan?

Letting an Independent thug access sensitive information could cost me my job!

There is a Tritanium shortage at the moment… I won’t do it for less than 50M Tritanium.

Mr. Hamilton. How are you holding up?

Mr. Hamilton

I just… I still can’t believe she’s gone.
Objective ID

Jacobs
Dialogue
I understand. It looks like you were right about foul play. We found something in Irene’s blood, a slow-release toxin.
Objective ID
526,277,460
Phase

Character
Jacobs
Dialogue
It would have been administered two days before her death. Can you think of someone who might have had the opportunity?

Mr. Hamilton
Dialogue
Well, Irene had a few friends over for dinner.

I’d like to speak with these friends. Can you send me their details?

Phase

Character
Mr. Hamilton
Dialogue
Certainly. Irene’s friend – Will – he’s an artist. We’ve helped him out before when times were tough, but business isn’t what it used to be. Last time he asked for a loan, we had to refuse. You don’t think–

Let’s not jump to conclusions, Mr. Hamilton. We’ll keep you updated on our progress.

Jacobs
Dialogue
Independent, let’s start with Will. Sounds like he might have had a motive to want Irene dead.

Independent. I have a proposition for you.

Jacobs
Dialogue
A distraught husband has hired me to investigate the untimely death of his wife. The coroner ruled it natural causes, but something didn’t sit right with him.

Character
Jacobs
Dialogue
Might not be anything here. But if there is, I want back-up. This gig could make me. No more following adulterers, trying to catch them in the act. I’d be in the big leagues.

And you’ll be paid for your time, of course.
