""I am sure if we look we can find out where the nearest Wave cell is located and go there straight away. Or, we could conact local crime syndicate and ask them about the burglary. I am sure they will be willing to clear their names and help us if we will hold them accountable for the crime even if they didn't commit it."
"Sure, but... how do we go about it? It's not like secret cults and criminal gangs are listed on the 'Planet Xandria Almanac of Illegal Things, Third Edition'..."

He turns to the Archivist who accompanied them to this Vault. "Any suggestions on how to make contact with these groups?"

"Local law enforcement should have a database containing reports on most of the criminal activities in the region. They should also have reports on latest Wave sightings." Del says nonchalantly.

"Then we'll check in with them, if they do--problem is with planetary law enforcement, someone might be an insider to the cult." He says dryly with no humor.

"I am fine to check with the local law or militia to see what they will tell us", Jilick offers. "But not to happy with approaching a criminal gang. We are a very small group, with very few trained in combat. If we get into trouble there we could get badly hurt. So I urge caution."

While Aflino fascinatedly endeavors to read every label on every cube, the Archivist answers Jilicjk's inquiry. "The cube contained the courtier pouch, its contents including the book and the dedication plaque of the courrier ship Sandpiper. The title of the book was "Catch A Wave: Synergistic Intersections of Philosophy between Brian Wilson and the R'thnx".
OOC:
Anything more, Mick and Gideon need to roll.

Spanner tries to create an advantage, carefully inspecting the vault crates for clues.

After thinking about it, Gideon realizes he has seen something with a similar configuration. They go pearl diving on Noosa, and use underwater gear that is similar, worn on the face with a breathing tube.

Mick manages to find a residue in and around the crates, at first one would think it was normal dust, but a closer look reveals it is a pristine beach sand, of the kind found on Noosa's tourist beaches. And he remembers seeing Noosan cuisine and themed decor in a restaurant on the way to the Central Library.
Aug 17, 2020 5:53 pm
Spanner will share his findings with the group.
"Hey guys, check this out. Sand traces. Heard such pristine sand can only be found on Noosa's beaches.
Hey, wait a minute - I saw a restaurant on the way here. Noosan cuisine and decor. Can't be coincidence..."

"So, we might have our first place to visit," Del clasps his hands toghether and turns to the Archivist, "Archivist Burroughs, are there many Noosan restaurants in Codex? Also, could you call your local law enforcement services and notify them about the burglary and that the Lancers are handling it. We will probably also need a liaison from them as well."
Aug 23, 2020 6:19 am
"Part of their symbol looks like pearl divers gear, used on Noosa, which combined with the "Wave" begins to make sense that somehow this is taken from some form of aquatic ideology."
Aug 26, 2020 1:42 am
Jilick looks up the Noosan restaurants on the Net, to see if there is anything detailed about it, or the location it is in. Especially in relation to the uprising.
Aug 26, 2020 5:03 pm
The Archivist nods. "My wife is actually a detective. I'll make sure you get some trustworthy help."

While she sends the message, Jilick comes up with only two Noosan restaurants on Xandria. One in town, the other on the opposite side of the planet in the city of Atheneum.

The Archivist concludes her messaging. "Renata will meet with you when you can arrange a time with her." She transmits a com code to your devices.

"Well, the other side of the planet is the least likely place, so probably the best place to check, but let's try the closest one first."

"Agreed," he nods. "Let's check that restaurant we passed."
Aug 28, 2020 2:17 pm
"I am ready to investigate!" Jilick adds
Aug 28, 2020 3:53 pm
"I am getting a little peckish," Del says puting his hand on his stomach, "I say we meet Renata there, have a lunch and see what is what. Kill three birds with one shot."

Two hours later, E ʻai Kākou restaurant.
[ +- ] Interior.
Pleasantly busy but not overcrowded, a wide variety of dishes for all palates and dietary needs that evoke the tropical flavors of Noosan cuisine are highlighted among the trappings of that planet's native architecture. There are wait staff in traditional garb and an entertaining show in progress on the center stage.

Gallery: Scenes from a restaurant.

Waiting for you punctually is Detective Renata Burroughs (Actor: Génesis Rodríguez).

"Lance Charter 86. I'm Burroughs, Codex Enforcement Division. How can I help?"
Aug 30, 2020 4:04 pm
He nods in greeting at the woman. "Miss Burroughs. Looks like our engagement to escort a datacache from Codex has become a find-the-stolen-goods operation. Our preliminary investigation seems to point to the Wave group, and to a symbolism inspired by an Old Earth subculture celebrating sea, waves and white beaches. It's quite bizarre. Have you encountered similar symbolism before, and is it associated with this Wave group? What can you tell us about them?"
Aug 30, 2020 8:37 pm
"Considering the information we've discovered, we'd like to keep some details close, but we will share what we can. Discovered the Wave used some form of biometric override, on the vault." He pauses and waits for a response.
