Chapter 1: Lhikan bent under the Vahki's barrier, where he joined Nidhiki who, was already examining the crime scene. "Took you long enough," said Nidhiki, not looking up from his work. "It took me ten minutes to convince the Vahki to turn off those stupid red and blue flashing Lightstones. I think everyone can figure out there was a murder here!" Lhikan smiled at his friend's impatience. "Long day, then?" "You have no idea," said Nidhiki, massaging his temples. "When I came to this city to fight the Kanohi Dragon, I did not see myself directing traffic for the next couple centuries. I can't believe these Matoran haven't figured out how to drive properly yet!" Pretending to listen to Nidhiki's rant, Lhikan grabbed a memory crystal out from the survey kit and examined the scene. It was a dark Le-Metru back alley, well out of the way of normal travel around the city. As Lhikan examined each part of the area, he sent the memories into the crystal for future analysis. The victim had blue and green armour and was lying on his back with a long, cylindrical object sticking out of his chest. "Nidhiki, have you examined this yet?" asked Lhikan, crouching down beside the body. "No, I've been too busy with the Vahki and the Matoran," said Nidhiki. He then whipped around and yelled, "hey! That's a Toa line, Ga-Matoran! Don't you cross it!" The Ga-Matoran at whom he was yelling squealed and ran away from the yellow band the Vahki had placed around the perimeter. "Take it easy, brother. She was just looking," said Lhikan, looking up at the Toa of Air. "Why don't you call it a night?" "I would, but I'm covering for Lokru. This is the third time this week he's been late!" As if on cue, Lokru appeared out of thin air right in front of him. "Hey guys, I saw the crowd of Matoran and thought I'd take a look." "Do you have to use your new Mask of Quick Travel to go everywhere?" asked Nidhiki exasperatedly. "'Course I do. Otherwise I'd be late," said Lokru, winking cheekily. Lhikan rolled his eyes at the two bickering Toa and took a closer look at the object. Furrowing his brow, he reached into the kit and pulled out a pair of silver tweezers, which he used to pull the object out of the victim. To his surprise, it turned out to be a paper scroll. He unfurled it and saw that, apart from the Matoran's bodily fluids, the scroll was covered in writings and diagrams in a language he was not familiar with. "Did you just pull that out of the Matoran's body?" asked Lokru in disgust. "How did that get in there?" Lhikan rolled the scroll back up and straightened up. "They say don't kill the messenger, but this time it looks like the messenger did the killing." Review Topic
