Re-examination

Who:- Tara, Phil
Phil was confused.
Things weren't adding up, trying to solve the mystery he had noticed one
thing stood out. There were no fingerprints around where the body was found,
of course it could be that the assailant wore gloves, but there was no other
kind of DNA evidence he could note. He thought out his list of suspects.
John Keats...Joseph Severn...John Smith.
Smith, would have left no evidence, he was a hologram, but he knew Severn
was probably clever enough to mask any traces of ever being there.
Of course, there was alo another person who had access to a weapon capable
of killing Jasmine and leaving the kind of wounds Doctor Keto had spoken of.
The only weapon capable of leaving bullet wounds with no sign of bullets, a
weapon that could fire an energy pulse so accurate it wouldn't vaporise the
body on impact, like a bazookoid would. The Gun (tm)
The other person capable of using this weapon, Jack.
It started to make sense to Phil Jack also had a completley different
genetic make-up to the rest of the crew, following Phoenix Fire, who say's
there wasn't DNA evidence but they just didn't know what to look for?
"Tara" he said into the comm "I need a favour..."
**Medi-bay**
Tara slid the body back in its catacomb in the ships morgue. And turned to
face Phil, who had been standing on tip-toes to try and see the body while
on the shelf.
"Well?" he asked
"Well.." said Tara "I've gone over the body with fine-toothed comb,
and...well...it's strange.."
"How so?" Phil asked
"Well the body holds no further DNA evidence, at least none that
conventional methods can detect. BUT..."
"But what?"
"But I have detected traces of oil under her fingernails, traces in her
hair."
"Oil? Cooking oil?!"
"No Phil, motor oil, machine lubricant...,So that could mean an
engineer...or a pilot"
"Exactly, someone who's been near machinery, Jay and Dean had BOTH been
working on they're ships...Jack had been in Severn's lab, as had Keats..And
dare I say it..Amber..." Phil reasoned "But still no DNA someones covered
theyre tracks well....
"Theres one more thing..." Tara pointed out
"Whats that?"
"She wasn't shot, she was stabbed"
"What?"
"No doubt about it, whatever killed her it was a blade of some description.
Doctor Keto got it wrong."
