20. Nightbeat's Note
Onslaught Insane?
Onslaught has been talking to himself when he thinks he thinks he far enough away that no one will hear him, always talking about plans. My audio receptors are much better than the average person, so it's useless. He's been doing this since we got done with the mall today. I think that the loss of Vortex and Brawl is finally getting to him and keeps having conversation with them to cope with their death. That, or he somehow communicating with someone to coop a murder. I like to be optimistic for once and say he's just going insane (how sad that is the better option).
-Nightbeat-

Found in the safe. Used to detect people entering a building.

26. Mirage's Note
My Gift to Hoist
I worked very hard at this and I hope you appreciate it. I learned this from a datapad and I built it for you. I hope you like this and hope we can continue our friendship with this and that we can build many things together.
-Mirage-
27. Hoist's Present
Mirage built a Newton's Cradle for Hoist.
28. Smokescreen and Hoist's Testimony
Exited room at two to head to the Repair Bat, where they met Onslaught and Blast Off on the first floor of the mall and Nightbeat emerging from the Med-Bay.
The trial is now in session!
"Well, this is going to be a little more difficult with Nightbeat gone," Jazz announced, "but I'm sure we can find out which of us killed him and Mirage."
"You're optimism is sickening, but unsurprising," Dead End muttered with a roll of his optics.
"Ignoring the ever-present cynic, we got to find out how the kill happen and who did- what the fuck are you doing Hoist?" Blurr questioned the repairer, who was ignoring the procedures to get some tools out.
"I've got a recorder that was broken and hidden in the trash. I didn't fix it to work on the investigation," he told them, getting his tools out and placing it on the podium next to the recorder and got to work. "Ignore me, just figure this out. Especially you, Smokescreen." Smokescreen glanced over to his left at him and gave a nod. He and Hoist knew the most about this murder, so it was best that he would be the one to call people out on their bullshit while he was busy with the repairs of the recorder.
"Alright, so what should we start with?" Smokescreen asked the group.
"Well, I wasn't there, so could we talk about Nightbeat's death," Beachcomber asked. "We've all saw Mirage's body, but not many people saw his."
"Yeah, neither did I," Bumblebee agreed. "Let's start on that."

BUMBLEBEE: So, Nightbeat died from a trap.
BUMBLEBEE: How did it worked?
SWINDLE: Well, I was there, so I can tell you...
SWINDLE: …it activated when Nightbeat opened the door to the basement…
SWINDLE: and he was impaled.
BLUDGEON: He probably bought everythingfrom the stores and other buildings.
BLUDGEON: After he got the supplies, the killer set it up…
BLUDGEON: …at an unknown time to kill whomever opened the door.
RATCHET: His death was instantaneous or close to it…
RATCHET: …as he was impaled straight to his spark.
SMOKESCREEN: Hold up!
Ammo used: Wire
"Bludgeon, uh, I almost don't want to say it because you are an intimidating force, but there was something wrong you said," Smokescreen muttered nervously.
"I got something wrong? Do explain," Bludgeon growled at him.
"Well, the wire that was used to set it up wasn't from anywhere except the basement," he explained.
"But, you can buy wire from the stores. I know this," he retort.
"Yes, but there was something it shouldn't otherwise have on it: energon stains," Smokescreen told him.
"Really now?" Bludgeon said, thinking it over. "Could it had come from Nightbeat when he was impaled?"
"No. The stains on it were too old and being impaled like he was wouldn't have much splatter," Ratchet interfered, helping Smokescreen.
"Hmm… well, you appear to be in the right," Bludgeon agreed, backing off. "The wire had to come from that room."
"Great, where do we go for now?" Mixmaster asked. "Is there anything else that needs to be cleared up?"
"Well, we got the weapon, which is a lever from a slot machine," Knock Out told everyone. "Other than that, I don't know anything else."
"Well, there is one thing that is confusing me," Blurr told them.
Nonstop Debate!
Ammo Available: Wire, Monobear file (2), Missing Lever, Tap in the Valve, Dents in the Door
BLURR: We've talked about the trapped itself…
BLURR: …but how exactly was it used.
BLURR: Was it swung at him.
SWINDLE: Well, it was-
WILDRIDER: It was all done with a press of a button!
WILDRIDER: They remotely activated it.
DRIFT: Will someone shut this moron up?
DRIFT: If the killer did that, then that would mean…
DRIFT: …the killer had to be able to see when someone opened it.
SWINDLE: Guys, it's-
REWIND: Could it be that the wire…
REWIND: …pulled the lever towards Nightbeat!
KNOCK OUT: Not enough force to impale him.
KNOCK OUT: Remember, the lever wasn't sharpened.
KNOCK OUT: It had to be launch with great force.
SWINDLE: Why should I even bother…?
SMOKESCREEN: You got a point!
Ammo used: Tap in the Valve
"Wildrider, I know you don't hear this often, but you're right. The lever was used to impale Nightbeat by the press of a button," Smokescreen complimented him.
"Yeah, baby!" Wildrider shouted.
"Wait, you're seriously saying someone pressed a button to send the lever?" Drift asked, shocked.
"Well, no. The wire was wrapped around a tap that activates whenever someone pushes a button."
"That's what I was trying to say, but nobody would shut up!" Swindle shouted, causing everybody to look at him strangely. Before anybody could remarked, he began to explain. "The wires was wrapped over the tap loosely overtop the button. When the door was opened, it tighten the wire, causing it to push the button in and send the lever towards him. The lever was placed in the valve, where the air from the pipes would send it at great force towards whomever opened the door, in this case, Nightbeat." He finished his explanation, causing most people to be in agreement.
THERE'S A FLAW!
Most people. Swindle turned to the one that dared to defy his explanation, Knock Out, which surprised him. "Why are you against it?" Swindle questioned.
"It's one simple thing really," he replied. "How did he know that the pipe would give him the necessary force to deliver the blow?"
"Huh?"
"I mean, the lever was unsharpened, which meant that they had to deliver it with more force than necessary. How could they know that the pipe would deliver the necessary force? For all he knew, it could've just bounce off him harmlessly," Knock Out explained to him, causing Swindle to flinch at that. He wasn't expecting anyone to challenge him. "Furthermore, how did he know that it would go exactly where he want it to go? Objects can shift their distance in mid-air. He had to know exactly where to go."
"Uh, well, everything else fits. Why does that change anything?" Swindle tried to brushed it under the rug.
"One thing wrong and a whole idea can be reduced to rubble," Knock Out informed him, getting ready to engage in a verbal fight with him Now if you want this theory of yours to still be considered, offer a suitable explanation against me, now."

Swords Available: Dents in the Door, Wire, Nightbeat's Note, Tap in the Valve
KNOCK OUT: You say that the killer…
KNOCK OUT: …rigged the trap up…
KNOCK OUT: and prayed that it would just work?
KNOCK OUT: That's impossible!
KNOCK OUT: They would have to be an idiot to do that.
KNOCK OUT: Anyone would test it.
…
Development!
…
SWINDLE: You're right, he had to test it…
SWINDLE: …which means that you're ignoring it.
KNOCK OUT: Ignoring it?
KNOCK OUT: You haven't show me any proof!
KNOCK OUT: You are under delusions.
KNOCK OUT: Makes sense, considering you're frame of mind...
KNOCK OUT: …and you're rapidly depleting lucidity.
…
Development
…
SWINDLE: That's unnecessary and off-track.
SWINDLE: Insulting me gets us to fight with each other.
SWINDLE: Now, do you have a valid complain?
KNOCK OUT: You're the one who hasn't proven you're claims!
KNOCK OUT: I ask for one simple thing: evidence.
KNOCK OUT: Let's admit it!
KNOCK OUT: We didn't miss any evidence.
KNOCK OUT: We didn't mistake anything for it.
KNOCK OUT: You've failed to convince me.
KNOCK OUT: That means, you're bluff failed.
SWINDLE: I gotcha!
Ammo Used: Dents in the Wall
"Actually, we did mistake something for it," Swindle realized.
"Huh, what?" Knock Out pestered.
"The dents in the door!"
"The dents… in the door? I thought we agreed that someone did it to relieve stressed," Knock Out growled.
"Yes, but, wouldn't it make sense that the person who set the trap to use that door for target practice. They place the tap on the pipe and continuous fire it until they get the results that they're looking for."
"…That makes sense," Knock Out acknowledged reluctantly
"Is there any flaw with what I said?" Swindle asked everyone. No one spoke up. "I thought so."
"Well… I don't like losing, but it brings us closer to the truth," the medic told him. "Besides, a popped ego is good every once in a while."
"Well, we made progress, but does this actually have anything to help us find the perpetrator?" Perceptor asked the group.
"I'm not sure," Nautilator murmured. "The trap was probably placed way ahead of time."
"Ugh… let's talk it out. I'm pretty sure someone will call someone on their bullshit or whatever," Hound told the group.

SKYWARP: Alright, so we know how the trap works.
SKYWARP: It's just a matter of who did it.
BLAST OFF: Could it be Hoist?
SWINDLE: Can't. He activated the announcement with me and Smokescreen.
ONSLAUGHT: Anybody noticed anything the nights before?
BEACHCOMBER: Our group hasn't done anything…
BEACHCOMBER: …besides Nightbeat and Onslaught leaving.
MIXMASTER: Neither has my group.
PERCEPTOR: Let's be honest, only the ones out have done anything suspicious.
PERCEPTOR: That means Onslaught and Blast Off
SMOKESCREEN: That's wrong!
Ammo used: Energon-Stained Scalpel
"Beachcomber, there was something else suspicious about your group besides Onslaught and Nightbeat leaving," Smokescreen told him. "We found a scalpel in red room, with energon on it."
"Huh, but how does that relate to Nightbeat?" Beachcomber questioned him.
"I don't know, but that scalpel is suspicious," he told him.
"Agreed," Bludgeon assented. "That is too suspicious just to lightly ignored."
"But do we have a way to figure out when it was placed there?" Jazz asked.
"A time and a place to put it there," Smokescreen murmured. If they were to figure out who did it, they had to establish a timeline when the person who used it dispose of it in the trash. With that, he may have to apply some logic to it.

SMOKESCREEN: That's it!
"I'm pretty sure I know a when it had to be there," Smokescreen told everyone. "It had to be done after Nightbeat was in the bathroom during his shift with Onslaught."
"Hey, you're right! Remember what he said?" Jazz pointed out.
"Well… obviously we need to look around the area," Nightbeat said, standing next to Onslaught. "That and start establishing people's alibies, such as where were you when I went to the bathroom momentarily to wash up?" he said, glaring at Onslaught next to him.
"Well, I wanted to go out for a little bit," Onslaught told him.
"Why is that?" he asked, glaring at him.
"It has nothing to do with Mirage's murder," Onslaught told him, turning away from him.
"Uh, exactly what are you two going on about?" Hoist questioned the two of them.
"At around 1:15, Onslaught spilled some energon on me. When I got out of there at 1:20, he was gone," Nightbeat said, glaring at him. "I left the room to go fine him."
"When Nightbeat entered, he would've noticed the scalpel, so it had to be placed after 1:20, when he left the area," Jazz realized.
"Yes, and that lets us know exactly who put the scalpel there," Smokescreen announced, causing a few startled looks. "That person can only be…."
