IC Viima

(Ta-Koro, Lavapool Inn):

 

"I'm looking for this Ga-Matoran", Viima said, showing a picture of Surina that he had taken from her hut. "And a Vo-Turaga. They were responsible for an attempted asassination in Ga-Koro. Have you seen them or heard about them?"

IC:

Jaller leaned back in his seat, expression stern, but at the same time, understanding. "You may have done what you felt was right, but it was not what was correct. You called in backup on a single Toa, one that had expressed no ill intent, and was by all accounts, terrified. And when a citizen stood up to confront you for it, you threatened them, as told them to leave.""That was dangerously close to abuse of power. You were out of line, and they were correct to reign you in for it. Calling backup for a single nonviolent citizen is never the correct course of action, nor is disregarding the public's perception. You are a guard. It is your job to guard the public's view of the guard just as much as it is to guard the public itself, and you failed in both duties."

IC Tuli

(Ta-Koro, Jaller's office):

 

Tuli struggled to keep her temper in control. Having an explosion of temper at her employer would be a very bad thing right now.

 

"With all due respect, Captain", Tuli began. "One Matoran is no match against a Toa gone rogue. How was I supposed to know his intents? He was hiding in a dark alley, part of a more restless area of Ta-Koro. He could've been anything. And why should I let non-guard members order me about? If all guards did that - and some do - we would no longer be a force for security. We would be cowards avoiding our duty."

 

Tuli stopped. Her last words had grown in strength and volume. It was wiser to just stop before it went too far.

 

IC Viima

(Ta-Koro, Lavapool Inn):

 

"Ok, thank you for your time", Viima said. If this person hadn't seen Surina and Celite in the inn, was there any point in searching there? Viima decided to leave and try out the streets.

 

The streets of Ta-Koro were uninviting to Viima, but he searched around anyway. It was worth it, for he found something really useful for his quest. Not Surina or Celite, but potential help.

 

A detective's office.

 

Viima went to the door of the office and peeked inside. He could see a black and purple Matoran working on something. Viima knocked. "Excuse me", he said. "Are you a detective?"

IC: Khervos (Khervos' Detective Agency)

 

Trouble.

 

That was the only word that could really sum up what I felt was in store for me when I heard someone come in, uninvited at that, and ask me about my profession.

 

I looked up, and noticed a Le-Matoran standing there, the lenses on his Mask of X-Ray Vision appearing to me as if they were peering into the very dephts of my black soul, trying to read me. A futile task.

 

I straightened myself, pushed a bit of clutter away from the desk with a heavy hand, and nodded.

 

"I prefer Private Eye, but yes, I am Khervos, at your service" I gestured towards the armchair.

 

"Please, have a seat"

IC:"Your ignorance betrays you."All understanding had vanished from his voice, replaced by a hard, stern edge. His eyes had hardened to stone, arms crossed on his chest. "Your suspect was, first of all, female. And if you could not even be bothered to know that, I have a hard time taking anything further you say seriously. Second, what does being a Matoran have to do with anything?""I am a Matoran. Most of this island's population are Matoran. Most of the Ussalry's members, our only peer in guard effectiveness, are Matoran. And yet, they have taken down Toa routinely. There are courses taught on this. I personally have defeated Toa before. One Matoran, with the correct training, can easily defeat a Toa. And that was not even an issue; the Toa was not aggressive, the Toa was not even ill-tempered; she was terrified."

 

"And it is one thing not to allow a citizen to order you around, but it is quite another to ignore them entirely. You are treading on thin ice, Guard. You were in the wrong, and that is the end of it. If you encounter those citizens again, you are to give them a full apology, and inform them that if they have further grievances, they are free to speak with me personally.""If I have to deal with you again for this conduct, you will be removed from active duty. With tensions between villages as they are, I cannot afford to have a belligerent, totalitarian officer in my forces. Further, it reflects badly on this village as a whole.""Do you have anything further to say?"

IC Viima

(Khervos's office):

 

Viima did as was told and sat down. He didn't wait before pulling out the picture of Surina he had.

 

"This Ga-Matoran", Viima began. "Is wanted for attempted murder. I want to find her to bring to justice. She works with a Vo-Turaga."

 

IC Tuli

(Ta-Koro, Jaller's office):

 

Tuli felt the fire inside her mind overcome her. It did not matter at the moment whether her actions had been sensible or not. Her fiery temperament took control over her even worse than when dealing with the female Toa earlier. For just a brief moment she let herself forget she was talking to the Captain of the Guard, the Akirri of Ta-Koro, her employer.

 

It was a moment she would later regret.

 

"What is wrong with all of you?!" Tuli exploded. "I do what is good for Ta-Koro but no one cares! All they do is point at every single little fault I have! You have always treated me like garbage because I'm a woman! Makuta-bones, what is this no-good organization that has no influence and can be puppeteered by any civilian! I have no interests to serve such a force that cannot carry out its promise to serve Mata Nui! Bloody right I have something to say. I quit!"

 

With that Tuli stuck her guard spear onto the floor and hastily walked out of the office, ignoring anything Jaller might say.

IC-Negul:

 

All right, Negul, brace yourself, you'll be okay...

 

Negul, renowned criminal among the Koros (and at the same time not wanting to be one), was, rather oddly, walking through the guard post. At one side was a guard, escorting him to speak to the Akiri personally; he had enough warrants against him it seemed prudent that he go in immediately.

 

Completely, perfectly restrained and de-weaponized, of course.

 

And, right before he was to come to the Akiri, he watched a female Ta-Matoran go storming out.

 

Oh, no...

 

"Uh, Jaller, maybe my guard and I should come at a different time?"

Somebody got very loud in Jaller's office, and then stomped out even louder. "Hey buddy, get in the line." I muttered and narrowed my eyes as someone else entered, but avoided making noise seeing the akiri might not be in the best of moods right now, and the other guy was being escorted to him. It looked more important than my case. I'll wait. This one time.

I accepted the picture from the Le-Matoran, studying it carefully, a Ga-Matoran with a blue Miru glared back at me.

 

It was clear that my customer had personal motives in play, that's why he came to a private investigator, after all.

 

Suspect is a Ga-Matoran with a blue Miru, wanted for attempted murder.

 

I scratched the sentence into my notebook, quickly following with new ones as the interview went.

 

Client's personal business with suspect?

 

"Alright, start at the beginning. How do you know her, how did the crime unfold, and what do you want me to do about it?"

IC:Or rather, that was what Tuli tried to do. The door was blocked by a tall guard, who's glare, if looks could kill, would have reduced her to a pile of ash."I think you have forgotten something, Tuli." The Akiri's voice was dangerously calm, closer to the Captain he used to be than the leader he was now. "My deputy, the very best one I ever had, was a woman. Tuara Drigton was ten times the guard you could ever be. She was brave, and she knew when she couldn't do her job anymore.""You've whined and moaned you entire career that people treat you differently because of your gender. Nothing is further from the truth. This force judges on merit and conduct, and it always has. You were judged for you."Jaller's eyes glowed with barely contained rage. "And do not ever tell me that I do not serve my village. I have done more to keep sorry hides like yours safe than you will ever know.""Leave your weapons and any guard issued equipment here, and get out of my sight."

"I'm not sure I can facilitate that." I smiled, getting my bulky frame through the Captain's door, getting nearly bumped into. I waited for the fallout to clear before getting to my business. "Infantry guard Fiera, Cap'n." I said and saluted. "As you can see, something's come up. Another toa offered to train me and it is for this reason that I regrettably have to resign at my post. Paperwork's here." I said, putting my resignation on his table. "If there is nothing else, someone more important looking tan me is waiting at the door." I said, pointing over my shoulder. I might have just resigned, but I was still used to being dismissed.

IC Viima

(Ta-Koro, Khervos's office):

 

Viima felt uncomfortable at the first question. He decided to skip straight to number 2.

 

"She came to ask for my assistance in Le-Koro", Viima explained. "I agreed to help her, and then this Turaga came into the scene, saying she needed assistance returning to her home in Ga-Koro. So we went all the way there, and then to Surina's place. She ordered some drinks to me, and by memories stop there. I just awakened the next day and people around me told I had tried to kill Akiri Hahli. We found out they had drugged me and persuaded me to do the deed while in that condition. I was set free due to proof that I wasn't responsible. But Surina and the Turaga, Celite, went on the run. I need to find them... to bring them in front of justice. And... something else. I want... maybe revenge is a poor word, but rather a testimony from them."

 

IC Tuli

(Ta-Koro):

 

Tuli did just that, getting rid of her guard equipment as if they were poisonous snakes wrapped around her for so long. She tossed them to the floor and left without saying a word, but her gaze was a warning to everyone who might consider getting in her way.

 

*

 

Things were quite different in Tuli's home. When she was sure no one was watching her, she burst into tears. Why had she lost her temper again? What was wrong with her attitude, her methods, her very nature? Why would she always get into trouble and never figure out a way to get our of it without having an aggression at someone?

 

For a long time there was nothing but tears that dropped on Tuli's pillow, forming a small stream of sorrow and self-doubt on her bed.

IC: "Resignation not accepted." Jaller said, after a moment's thought. "You are, however, transferred to the reserves with an indefinite leave. Come back when you're ready, your job will still be here.""And if you throw a temper tantrum, I swear to Mata Nui I'll lose it."The last remark was a joke, but it was clear that the Matoran was still annoyed with the departed former guard.

So, it was that kind of personal.

 

From what I could gather, this Le-Matoran had essentially dropped everything to help this Ga-Matoran with some sort of vague menial task. Not exactly the best basis for running across a fourth of the island. He clearly had, or did at some point, engaged in a very close relationship with this matoran that had eventually gone sour.

 

Broken heart? Or broken trust?

 

"And where do you think she might be?"

"That's what I need help at", Viima said. "I was able to trace their footprints past the Old Fusa Path to the plains. But after that... my skills were not sufficient. But surely a skilled detective would be able to gather some signs and leads?"

I stood in attention, then turned around and left. "That news better be good." I said to the other person at the door, making my way back home.

 

That didn't go well. I was hoping to cut my ties to the guard so I was not in anyone's power. In peace time, that wouldn't be a problem. but if - Mata Nui forbid - Ta - Koro went to war, I would be put to active service again regardless of my will. For the first time the chain of command actually felt like a chain - wrapped around my neck and holding me on a leash. I made a mental note to ask Akira for a solution. And prayed she had one.

"I need you to help me here" I replied. I reached into a cupboard and brought up a map of the island. I then grabbed a charcoal marker and drew a big, black "X" over Ga-Koro.

 

"Her footprints tells us she left, which means we can rule out Ga-Koro"

 

I then crossed over Po-Koro

 

"She's wanted by the law, and the only way you'll enter Po-Koro is by way of escorte from a Sentinel Patrol, they're likely to check the people they let in"

 

"Do you know any other places we can rule out?"

IC Viima

(Ta-Koro, Khervos's Detective Agency):

 

Viima shrugged. "Well, they are not here. I asked around at the... what's it called... some lavapit inn or something... but no one had seen them around, so I guess they wouldn't be here. Especially with the attentive guard and all. My understanding is that those two are wanted all over Mata Nui for their deed, not just Ga-Koro. Oh, and they weren't in Le-Koro when I paid a visit there briefly. Of course, they could go there... but I doubt Surina would go to my home village to get confronted by all those witnesses who saw her lead me away from that village."

Hearing Grochi's comment that he needed a vacation anyway,she as eager to swipe up the chance. If he held that much sway with the guards, it would certainly make any more issues easier to avoid, plus sometimes finding treasure could result in landscape damage, which maybe he could help get her out of.

 

Of course, then their came with the problem that as soon as she sobered up, she'd go back into terror mode. Eh, live for the drunken moment. "Well then, welcome to the Treasure Hunters, Minty."

"Perfect" I mumbled and crossed out two more Koros. The Muaka Tiger was closing in, and the Stone Rat was running out of places to hide.

 

"That leaves us with two choices, the most likely of them being Ko-Koro"

 

Ko-Koro was more remote, but still closer than Onu-Koro to Ga-Koro, and its Sanctum Guard, while formidable in their own right, was every bit preferable to the dreaded Ussalry of Onu-Koro

IC Viima

(Ta-Koro, Khervos's Detective Agency):

 

Viima thought hard. "Well, I might want to warn you about Surina... she's excellent with her bow. Very skilled at hunting, like me. That's how we... um, nevermind. Also, there are witnesses of the events in both Le-Koro and Ga-Koto. Surina actually shot an arrow at me in Ga-Koro, but it hit someone else instead. As far as the Turaga goes, I don't know much about her. She has a Rau and an oddly-shaped trident. I do not know whether they are hiding together or separately. But that's about all I can tell you."

As she was about to reply, the funniest response crossed her mind, it was hilarious in every sense of the word. As she tried to say it, she found it was so funny she just couldn't get the words out without cracking up laughing.

 

"Hey Minty, don't..." And she lost it, breaking down laughing. "Don't get..." again she found the words too hilarious.

"Should have figured" I thought to myself.

 

"OK, you can come with me, on one condition: you do precisely what I say, when I say it, alright?"

 

As I assessed the Le-Matoran, I remembered something he's said, Surina was good with a bow, but apparently so was he. Maybe he'd be of some use after all.

"Suits me", Viima said with a smile. "Until those two are caught, at least. So we're going then? To Ko-Koro?"

 

IC Tuli

(Ta-Koro, Tuli's hut):

 

Tuli was not sure how long she had been crying, but she was already shivering. This was not like she wanted to solve manners, but she was still filled with grief. She had nowhere to go, no one to answer to. She had her home but what good did it do?

 

Tuli searched her pockets for a hankie. What she found instead was the business card given to him by Khervos.

 

Tuli sighed and almost set it aside. But she kept it in her hand, silently looking it.

It was after a moment, while Viima was still preparing, that Khervos saw Tuli at his door. She had clearly been crying, but even with those tear-consumed eyes she was still beautiful unlike many other women. Although her expression was a sad one, it lightened a bit at the sight of Khervos.

 

"Hi, Khervos..", she said, not sure what else to do.

I looked up, and saw Tuli at the door. Like a phantom of my own bad qualities that had come to haunt me.

 

She'd been crying, among other things, and had clearly underwent some sort of huge upset. Yet she stood, there, quietly, expectantly waiting for my reply. She was a strong woman, it would seem.

 

I opened the door all the way and let her in, guided her to the armchair and shoved a glass of wine into her hand.

 

"The guard wasn't too happy with the little scene you caused, were they?"

 

I wasn't looking at her, my face buried in the notebook as I worked through the leads Viima had provided me. My fingers grasping clumsly around the quill pen as I made some adjustments to the map.

Tuli sat quietly for a moment before saying: "I would say it was the tip of an iceberg..." She trailed off.

 

Tuli looked around at the agency.

 

"I don't know if I should've come here... I'm sorry if I'm troubling you. It's just that -"

 

"Ready to go!" Viima said, bursting in. He stopped at the sight of a woman sitting on the armchair.

 

"Okay...", he said. "What did I miss?"

Loren- Ta-koro

 

IC: Lets start simple, see what he can do.

 

Moving lightly on his feet, Loren began a series of jobs and sweeping slices with his bladed staff. If he was lucky, the murderer would be forced backwards and the Toa Maru behind him could finish him off. His face was emotionless as he more or less ignored what the other person had said, most of the ones that put up a fight said the same kind of things.

 

OOC: Half an EW- The tablet said the same thing that was in italics in my last post, he was expecting another guard that was going to take care of the body.
