## Summary

### Victim

* **Benjamin Gale** (shot dead in the army base)

## Plot

After arriving at Fort McMurray, Ursula Gemini and the player found the dead body of a military soldier. On the crime scene, we meet a soldier named Keifer Storm. Keifer tells us that the victim's name is Benjamin Gale and that he's in the same squad as him. We later decide to ask Kirk Patterson about the murder, as he's the National Guard General and all the soldiers, including Benjamin, are forced to obey him. When we ask Kirk about the murder, he said he knew Benjamin as he was in the army for years and one of their best soldiers along with Keifer. We later investigate the medic tent which is near the crime scene. There, we find a surgeon's knife belonging to Becca Doe. When we ask Becca if she saw anything suspicious, she said that it had been a normal day until Keifer told her that Benjamin has been murdered. She said that Benjamin has been climbing the ranks rather quickly and that she was suspicious of this. She said that the person who knew Benjamin best was Colonel Blackbourne, the head of military. We go to see Blackbourne and he tells us that Benjamin was his right-hand man, and that his loss will be a huge loss to the American and Canadian military. We later find a broken camera, which is familiar because when we repaired it, we saw the name "Andrew Shirley" on it. We speak again with Andrew, who tells us that he didn't know Benjamin, and he was filming the military base as he was going through Allison Fraser's old notes and found a few juicy stories that were occurring in the military base. He said that he red a story about a military surgeon sleeping with Blackbourne's right-hand man. We ask Becca about her sleeping with the victim, and she said that the rumors were true and it almost got her fired. She said that when everyone in the base found out Blackbourne decided to fire Benjamin, and that today was his last day on the job. We asked Blackbourne about him firing Benjamin, and he said that it was unprofessional to be sleeping with a colleague, in the military no less. Later on, we find a threat to Keifer from Benjamin saying "Pay up or you'll get it!". When we ask Keifer about this, he tells us that he caught Benjamin making out with Becca a year ago, and that Benjamin begged Keifer not to tell anyone. Keifer said he wouldn't say anything if he paid him, so he's been doing that. Keifer admitted to raising the price to the point Benjamin refused. This is when Keifer told Blackbourne, and the whole rumor was exposed. We later decide to ask Kirk if he knew about this, to which he replied that he saw Benjamin paying Keifer money but that was it. We later find a picture of Benjamin angry and covering himself naked with a towel. We have Imogen Caulfield analyze the picture. After, she says that based off of the quality of the camera she realized it was taken by a PONY camera. We realize that one of our suspects had a PONY camera - Andrew. We ask Andrew about the picture, and he said that he used to be in the military, and while there he developed a crush on Benjamin. Andrew took many pictures of Benjamin, and when he threatened to report him to Blackbourne, Andrew quit and got a career as a cameraman at Eagle News. Andrew returned to apologize to Benjamin, but he never got the chance to.

## Killer And Motives

The killer turned out to be Andrew.

Upon admitting to the murder, Andrew admitted that he was a member of JUSTICE and that he killed Benjamin because he slept with his ex-wife, Becca. Judge Virgo sentenced Andrew to life in prison under solitary confinement.

## Additional Investigation

We interrogate Andrew about JUSTICE's purpose, but he refuses to cooperate. We grow anxious as JUSTICE members are starting to kill people for the smallest mistakes people do. We realize we have to find a way to stop them.

After interrogating Andrew and meeting up with the team, we learn that he somehow had a gun on the way to prison and used it to kill two guards, before escaping prison. We decide to go on a manhunt to find him. His trails lead us to Nunavut, Canada, which is our next destination.
