Question after question after question. The more she asked, the more she realized that most of these people were useless. Among those who had been there at the time of the incident, a vast majority hadn't even noticed that something unusual was happening. The few who paid attention to the odd movement of the station only noticed because some small bits of debris had impacted near them. Only after their attention was diverted to the strange occurrence did the observers realize that the station was moving in an unusual manner. Even the station's command staff hadn't immediately noticed the course alteration. On one hand, monitoring the orbital position was something that an on-duty worker within the command crew might do between once per shift to once per week. There was no need to monitor that kind of thing unless the station was under threat of collision. On the other hand, having so little direct observation was not conducive to the investigation. Even among those few who had observed the station moving, absolutely no one had seen anything that could have explained the movement or anything unusual whatsoever.
So what was causing these strange movements?
The Chiss investigator was beginning to see why prior investigative teams had had so much difficulty. She was also beginning to think that there wasn't anything to find on the station. If there had been any evidence to find, it had either been erased after a week of being tread over by others, or never existed in the first place. Especially considering the other sites for the strange movements outside of the Station 752 incident similarly had no perceivable evidence left behind.
The amount of force necessary to move such a massive object would be considerable. The last thing she could think to look for was a power signature that could generate such energy. But she couldn't do that from the station. Worse, in a shipyard, there were plenty of engines, gravity well generators, and tractor beams that could pull or push things with great force. And after as long as it had been since the incident, she would need to hook into Bilbringi environmental systems to retrace the paths of every orbital in the system to try and determine a source. And that was only if there were any residuals energy particles to be observed. The likelihood was, short of another incident, there was no way for Sentiri to accurately pinpoint a source.
Sentiri checked her chrono after parting with the last witness. After reviewing and downloading the computer logs and speaking with countless bystanders, the pair had spent hours aboard the station. The Chiss woman was ready for a break. Flipping through some information on her datapad. She keyed her comm.
"Venku. This is Sentiri. I'm reaching the end of what I can do here. Witnesses were unhelpful. The next train leaves in forty-five minutes. I plan to be on it. Anything else you need to do here?"
