"VE|AC-Aramis" was slowly drifting in the Omicron Kappa system's asteroid field, with all systems disengaged. Nothing alive was inside, nothing moved, nothing illuminated its cockpit. It almost seemed the ship was dead.
Only after another Nomad patrol passed by, accounting the ship as a wreck and showing no interest, as no life signs inside were detected, the ship came alive again.

<Noone around again, Sire.>
*Good. Then I will continue. These 'Asteroids' have very interesting contents in them...*

Explorer arrived to Kappa a day ago, when he digged up some info that the asteroids in this system are strange, and may contain something wierd and even dangerous inside.
Now he was in his mini-lab that he installed onboard of the Spatial, instead of the living quarters that he didn't need. He didn't need a microscope to examine the piece of the strange rock, his eyes were heavily augmented.
He used only his onboard electronic microscope, when he needed something to be examined really close. But his research was interrupted every few hours by passing Nomad patrols, and he had to turn off all the ship systems to be undetected.
His own armor plates shielded himself from scanning, allowing him to stay on.

But he just began to continue his research, when Aramis interrupted him again.

<Sire, we have an urgent message from the Enclave Council.>
*What is it?* If explorer could, he would sigh now. They just won't let him finish. Oh well, he will come back later...
<A murder occured on planet Gran Canaria, Eden colony. They want you to help the investigation.>

A murder... That did't happen frequently at Gran Canaria... at Eden, particularly, it didn't happen at all.
That might be entertaining.

*Engage the cruise engines, we are participating in this investigation.
Hopefully I will do some more research on-route.*

<That means I can drive?>
*Correct.*
<Wow. That does'n happen often.>
*Time has a price, and I am not spending it on piloting when you can do it, while there is some unfinished research I have. So, bring this ship to Gran Canaria... safely, I would ask.*
<Thanks! We approached Gamma jumphole, engaging jump systems.>

***

...It was raining in Eden.
And Explorer hated rain. No matter what, the water was getting into his cirquits, every time he had a misfortune of getting into a rain.
If he could, he would probably curse the responsibles, as he knew that weather at Eden was rather artificial.
But, he just did a thing he didn't do frequently... he put on some additional clothes, a black wide-pented hat and a long coat of the same color.
Those were not ordinary clothes, they had a slight electromagnetic field on them, repelling the water drops and allowing him to stay dry even in the hardest rain.

He landed at the Temple docking bay, and headed for the exit of the ship.
*Aramis, stay on connection, I might need information from databases, as well as some other things. I will be out for a while.*
<Aye, Sire. Come back soon.>

People at the streets of Eden openly stared at him, and that had a reason: A long figure in a hat and a coat, with bright blue eyes shining from under the hat...
But he didn't care even a bit about that. The only thing he cared about was the route to the place he was told about in the message.
He stopped for a second, examining, or rather, recording, the scheme of public flyer transports. Then he entered one of them and disappeared.

When he arrived at the mentioned room's door, he found there two security officers, as well as a woman that just was entering the room.
"May the Creator bless you", she said, nodding to them and passing through. A Temple insider...
Explorer noticed that security guys were staring at him rather unfriendly.

*May the Creator bless you*, he howled, and guards flinched from his voice a bit.
*I am Lector Explorer, arrived to help with the investigation of the murder.* He showed them his ID card.

After a second hesitation they finally let him in...
