Sam blinks in surprise when she looks at the file. Thinking it over, she nods and says "He did mention casually about being too old for this, and retiring eventually" Sam looks up sharply "Are you suggesting he faked his own death?"

" Yeah, just hard to beleive. A plain old knife used to kill Shep after what I saw him shrug off since I transferred here." dyson replied, almost releived to get it off his chest.
" The pieces seem to fit together to point in that direction, luietenant." The colonel replied. " I've known Carson long enough to know that it's not beyond him. And he had been off his game as of late." sitting back down, he let out a deep breath. He pulled out another report and offered it to Sam. " then there's this one. Seems someone in camoflagued armor tried to flag down two Sams 14 hours after your evac, but because of hostiles in the area, they made a strafing run, losing sight of the target in the process. The discription matched Trassk as well."
" I want you to put together a small squad and go try to find out what happened. Pull whoever on site you feel you need within reason and submit it with any requisitions you'll need to my aide as soon as you can. We owe it to Shep to find out the truth, even if that means dragging him back to the stockade for desertion."

Sam takes the report and reads it carefully. "Yes, sir." Sam replies quietly, still trying to process everything. She wonders who she'd be able to trust with such a task. Mariana, perhaps, if she was back on duty and Dyson. McCain? Maybe. Sam tries to think of anyone else she could get to help her with this mission, as she asks "Is that all, sir?"

"I just don't understand why he had that knife." Mariana says to Dyson. "He had stored it away since before we arrived here." She looks puzzled. "Not that it would do any good to rifle through his leftover gear." She says with an enabling grin.

McCain sat on his bunk pondering the picture he had seen. Wondering if Shep had gotten toasted? He remembers something his folks told him a long time ago: believe none of what you here and only half of what you see.

" Thats it, luietenant. And good hunting." The colonel replied with a salute.
" What are you talking about, sarge." Dyson looked at Mariana at her confused.

"I... gave him that knife. Saw him stow it in his chest with my own eyes." She said. "I'm just wondering why that knife and not one I'ld recognize. You know?" She says, puzzling it out herself. "What? It was just a knife. A souvenir for a mission I had to do. Just gave it him was all. I don't have to answer these questions. you're dismissed." And Mariana scurries back towards he room.

Sam stands and returns the salute and replies "Yes, sir. Thank you, sir." She then leaves the Colonel's office and heads back to her quarters to try to put together a plan before approaching anyone.

Dyson snickered as he turned back to McCain. " And she made fun of my crush on the LT. I think she had a thing for Shep."
Moments after Sam got back to her room, a knock on her open door came. rhys spoke flatly. " Hey, I take it you heard the news. Just thought I'd see how you were taking it before we head out. Shep was a good guy, if a little warped."

Sam nods at Rhys with a small, solemn smile. "He was a giant pain in the ass," she replies "but he was a good man." She is quiet for a second before asking "How are you taking the news?"

"Hush Dyson." Mariana says in a girlish voice. "Or I'll use you to show McCain my Vader trick."

Rhys shrugged and leaned against the door casing. " Okay I guess. Not the first squadmate I've lost. After enough of them, it doesn't faze you much anymore. anyways, we're on the way out. Norrin asked me to say hi for him. Catch you later" and he backed out and headed off.
Dyson gulped hard, looking at Mar with a terrified look. He never said a word.

Sam nods at Rhys with a small smile "Tell him 'hi' back. Catch you later. Stay safe." She heads into her quarters and looks over the file given to her by the Colonel again, trying to figure out the best place to start the search.

Mariana winks at McCain. "Sometimes it's fun to be who I am." She says. "You can relax now, Dyson." She says with a smirk. "Now. Who wants food?"

Dyson relaxes with a sigh. " why do I let you do that to me?" He asked. " I could go for lunch." As they walked towards the caf, he asked. " Hey sarge, who else would have known about that knife anyways?"
" I will." Rhys shouted from down the hall. The file was pretty vague, giving some backround on Shep though his personel file was classified. There was a psyke report evaluating him after his escape from a hellhole out west that recommended putting him behind a desk, the request for benefits change, several accomidations and the written report that matched up with the holo. The report stated that there was no id on the body except for the non standard equipment, much of which was missing. there was no discription of the body. The officer of record was a Captain Utley, listed as stationed at the temporay garrison set up in the remains of the FAC base.
