I tried.

Just couldn't get them both on the station at the same time, in a plausible manner.

Everytime Dukat appears it's always off-station, as with Weyoun.

Kills are in, I'll do the writeup sometime today and get this going.

For now, I'll just do the characters.

The rest I'll leave as is. I may change this if people feel the stories are too complicated with just the characters.

I will however, spell out the kill after, and note it with the cast, so it is much more apparent who has died, and who is left.

Captain's Log.

Just one of those days, it seemed. No sooner did all the negotiators for Bajor and the Federation assemble did they have to dismiss the proceedings due to security concerns. However, unlike the previous worries, this one troubles me even more.

Our plain, simple tailor, Elim Garak, is dead. Chief O'Brien found him slumped over his workshop, cutting a bolt of his fine satin. According to standard procedures, despite Garak's numerous covert activities, Dr. Bashir conducted the autopsy. His agenda for the day listed a raincoat, as well as the satin nightgown, both paid for in advance with strips of latinum. I have no doubt he had other activities planned, but what these activities were is not going to be left on his data padd in plain sight.

Garak apparently suffered no visible injury, but upon further investigation, Dr. Bashir discovered the cause of his death. He attributes it to a highly illegal and contraband modification of a Federation sonic drill. The drill, when modified, rather than drilling into metal, shatters the eardrums of the victim.

I have since assigned Constable Odo to investigate further. My suspicions are an assassination, but I am unaware of any rivals to Garak currently present on the station.

That being said, I must also wonder about the arrival of Tora Ziyal upon the station. Given the nature of Garak's death, Kira has assured me that she has kept to quarters, and has just begun to acclimatise to the station. As the only Cardassian with a previous link to Garak through Dukat, she is unfortunately our primary suspect.

The situation at Quark's also appears to have worsened. Constable Odo reports that the bar staff, and dabo girls, including Leeta, have been gathered together by Rom to organise a strike. They have raised the possibility of bribing customers to stay away from Quark's to enforce the picket line. While prefereable to intimidation, this will only escalate the situation.

Tomorrow, Shakaar has promised to resume the negotiations regardless of the security dangers. I am once again beset by Kai Winn who insists upon further measures to properly protect Bajoran dignitaries. Hopefully, I will be able to convince her that the measures taken will be sufficient to ensure their security. The last thing I need is yet another headache here on the station.

Who would do something like that?

But remember, Garak had many enemies and few friends. He was a spy after all. Dr Bashir (Reismark) is his best friend and Tora Ziyal (Adagio) his girlfriend.

rah's not daft enough to think that by killing Spike first time round then the amount of "enthusiastic posting" in the thread would drop. It's far more likely to be someone like Nog.

OK, time for a real investigation.

First who ordered those garments from late Garak?

Well, one of the customers is obviously a woman since we have a satin nightgown among the items ordered. This still doesn't mean anything. It only means that a woman must have visited Garak shortly before his death.

Another item is a raincoat. But who would need a raincoat aboard a space station. Well, naturally someone who is a visitor here and will soon return to a place where it rains constantly. That place is the Ferengi home world. So the person who ordered the rain coat is a Ferengi. Still this doesn't mean that person actually killed Garak.

Third clue we have is a method of killing. An ear drill was used. Who would have access to this particular item? Who has big ears? Well a Ferengi of course.

Now this is a little bit more convincing. All these circumstantial evidence seem to point to one person here and that be Ishka, Quark's mother. She is a modern Ferengi and unlike other Ferengi females likes to wear clothes, satin clothes. Second, she likes to go out, to appear dressed in public, hence the raincoat. And finally, she uses the drill to massage her earlobes so she had the means and the opportunity to kill. The problem here is the motif.


This analysis does seems to point more to alva than anybody else, but other Ferengi characters, particularly those who reside on Ferenginar such as Spaced and Lord Nuclear are also plausible suspects. After all, the satin nightgown could be unrelated to the murderer. Two items of clothing might have been ordered by different persons. The raincoat was not found so it is a fair assumption that whoever took it also killed DrSpike, hence the killer would definitely be a Ferengi.

It is all very simple. DrSpike is against plurals in Hangman. Ljube and Jonny are for plurals. The motive seems clear.

Sorry for Spikie. As for a suspect, it's always hopeless so early in the game to point at anyone really. Unfortunately, we have to vote, so I say alva and trust ljube.

Hmmmm, after his lengthly analysis, did he even vote for anybody, or was he lacking conviciton.

I guess I shouldn't poke the bear since I think I'm a Ferengi.
