WHO: York Stark ; Open
WHERE: Various places [Amphitheater, Big Department Store/Alien Target]
WHAT: Investigations
WHEN: After Robin's assault
WARNINGS: York

Amphitheater

It's times like this that York actually missed having Connor in the city. It'd been a long time since the deviant hunter android had been here, but he'd be useful now. Connor had been equipped to really investigate things that someone like York wasn't able to. As it was, he looked over the space as closely as he could, quietly using his architecture scanners to try and find recent additions. He couldn't scan blood to find out what type it was or anything, but he could judge if it was new or old blood at least. Could find shoe prints in the dust and a trail. Footage shows people leaving this area around the time Richie got attacked.

The unfortunate thing, is that York has ignored Max's scathing warning about going out alone, and he's come unequipped with any kind of weapon. Dangerous, but it seemed like no one else was trying to hunt down the guy that tried to off Richie. Tried to strangle that Robin lady. He thinks of the so called assassin from the network, that Soldier guy.

BDS/Alien Target

And now here. The footage he got from Tony led him from the amphitheater where Richie was attacked to this department store. Robin went in there, but so did something with a mask. That same something - well, someone, honestly - left, too. Surely there had to be some kind of clue left behind to lead to something, right?

So again, alone, he goes in, feeling more confident than he probably should be with a murderer on the loose and starts doing the same as he did earlier. Investigate with his scanners in an attempt to find all of the interesting pieces that were left behind. First off he goes back out to review the area he saw the supposed killer go in and out of. Looking for shoe prints, blood, anything that might be a trail. Only when he's satisfied does he go back in to look again.

"Wondering if there's something the killer has against people who's name starts with an 'R'," he grumbles under his breath, looking around.

[Text; Closed to Stu]

you're kind of a recent addition to the city weren't you stabbed on the way in? you didn't bring anything or anyone bad with you did you? or i guess i should ask there wasn't some masked guy waiting for you at the fountain right?

"We already looked, remember? It's just that one door to get in and out." He scrubs the feed so they review it again. "This guy is just appearing out of nowhere, we never even see him go in."

He moves the time of the feed around again until they can spot Stu going in. "Look here. This guy goes in, but he doesn't come back. But the guy in the mask goes in and out. There's gotta be something about that, right?"

"Yeah, I know, but that doesn't make any sense. I keep thinking maybe there's a broken piece of wall, something." Radley sighs.

He frowns, studying the footage carefully. "That is really weird. Huh." He ponders for a moment. "You know, probably anybody could put that costume on if it'd fit...." If there's really no other way in or out, it would seem the costume must be it, no matter how wild that sounds.

"I didn’t pick up anything else when we looked." York looks frustrated, and goes over the evidence they had. Then pauses and looks at Radley.

"…holy shit. You’re right." He moves the feed to Ghostface going in. "What if this is the guy that carried Robin out? And then the masked guy coming out later is the other one? Are they working together?!"

Radley nods, getting excited now. Maybe they're finally getting somewhere.

"That must be it," he says. "What else could it be?"

York has his own sort of excitement, knowing they seemed to finally be on the right track. That they had something substantial. "I don't think it could be anything else, or anyone. There's no other logical explanation for one guy going in and a different one coming out."

He crosses his arms. "So it's these two, but... do we tell someone that has security? Or just try to apprehend them ourselves?"

This gives Radley pause. Taking them on alone doesn't seem wise at all.

"Who has Security these days?" he wonders.

"…I don’t know. Hang on, look at the ship list." York taps around until the list comes up. "Lance and Shaw, Richie is out right now. And the other list has Wesker, Harrington and… Stu. That’s the guy they’re questioning, and the one in the video, isn’t it?"

He hasn’t even noticed Loomis' name was listed under communications yet, even after talking to Leo about the tablets a little bit.

"... Seriously? He has Security?! Oh, I feel real safe now," Radley says sarcastically.

He studies the lists too. "Who's this guy with Communications, Billy Loomis? Could he be the other guy in the video?" There's not a lot of names he doesn't recognize, and this is one of them.

"Great," which is said with so much sarcasm dripping from him. York doesn't look to happy about this situation. "It's probably how he's getting around security things, with that kind of clearance."

He switches back to the feed. "I don't think I've seen the guy around before. Maybe it is. Definitely a new name. What do you think we should do?"

"Yeah, no doubt."

Radley sighs, frowning. "I still think it'd be pretty stupid to go after them alone. They've already attacked two people. But after that disaster of trying to pin Stu down, just bringing somebody else into it probably won't help either.... Maybe for now, send this other guy a casual message asking to talk to him about when Robin was hurt? Hopefully he won't go completely loco about a simple question."

"It would be. We'd need someone to go after them with us." He closes the feed and gives his full attention to Radley. "We call Loomis on one of our devices via video. See if we can figure out where he's at with his background and then we tell someone else his whereabouts so we can get one. Cut the chances of people getting hurt immediately in half."

"Okay, but we'll still have to be careful. If there's any way he can weasel out of it, it could end up being as big of a headache as they were having with Stu."

He has mixed feelings about how that went down. Coming from his background as someone who tried to hold a town together when there was no official law enforcement, sometimes unpleasant decisions have to be made. On the other hand, he was kind of appalled with how Knuckles especially handled it. But on the first hand again, he completely gets how stressful situations cause people to behave sometimes.
