## Events of Island Investigations

### Fate's Arrow

After finding out that robot Dorothy killed royal executioner Silversaw, partner Leo Lennox and the player took the robot to Nicholas who tried reprogramming her into telling us about Project Rising Sun, but all she did was self-destruct.

### Project Rising Sun

Nicholas was first interrogated after detective Cody Horn and the player found his computer in businessman Albert Sailor's house with Clone Dex Royce's fingerprints on it. When we asked Nicholas about this, he told us that someone recently stole his laptop and he doesn't know where it is. We told him that we found it at Albert's house and he acted shocked.

Nicholas was spoken to again when we found security footage of him entering Albert's mansion mumbling to himself about grilling Dex. When we asked Nicholas about this, he told us that he was almost certain Dex was hiding something as when he checked his record there was nothing on it and his DNA matches that of a one-year old, so he wanted to get to the bottom of everything.

Nicholas was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated MI9 agent John Presley for Clone Dex's murder.

After John was arrested, it was revealed that Dex was secretly a clone and Nicholas' hunch about him was right.

### Urgent Case

After arresting Clone Willow Turner, Nicholas and the entirety of the Santa Matnette Police Force apart from Leo and lab chief Karen Wilson were kidnapped.

### It Only Takes Two Hands

We managed to find Nicholas and the rest of the team after it was revealed that Karen killed Eagle News member Ariana Bell.

## Events of Stories Uncaged

### Price Drop

Nicholas was put to questioning after detective Giles Davis and the player was reviewing what they knew in sales manager Peter Cervantes' murder until Nicholas showed up and recognized the player. We told Nicholas it was nice meeting up with him before we went to investigate the clothes shop Peter was in charge of. However, we found Nicholas' laptop there with Peter's fingerprints on it. When asked about this, he told the detectives that ever since his father died, he took over his company, MirrorTech, and has quite turned the company into its peak, owning numerous branches of stores, including the one next to the clothing store. After informing Nicholas about Peter's fingerprints over his laptop, he told the detectives about MirrorTech's sales growing at their peak and figured Peter may have stolen his laptop to figure out their success, and telling them it isn't the first time it happened as other owners attempted as well.

Nicholas was questioned again after finding a note addressed to Peter, reading, "This is the last time I'm repeating myself, Cervantes! I'm not handing you my company!" Profiler Jake "TJ" Goss assessed that the letter was written by Nicholas based on the handwriting. Nicholas explained Peter constantly demanded that he'd hand MirrorTech so he could turn it into a better company than it was already. Nicholas refused, however, as he wouldn't hand the company his father worked on for all his life to some stuck-up arrogant buffoon of a salesman everyone abhorred. He also informed the detectives about Peter being a sleazy pig as he saw Peter groped his assistant, Leanna Perrick inappropriately, which prompted us to pay her a second visit.

Nicholas was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated social media influencer Leonie Köhler for Peter's murder.

### What Can I Get You?

Nicholas was interrogated again after detective Connor Stout and the player found his phone at the cafe where cafe worker Stéphanie Beaufort was poisoned. When we asked Nicholas about leaving his phone, he said he must have left it behind at the cafe and then he thanked us. We then asked him about Stéphanie's murder, and he said that Stéphanie seemed to be a very nice girl who waited his table several times, including the last time he went.

Nicholas was interrogated again after Connor and the player found a poster with Nicholas' father defaced in Stéphanie's living room. When we asked Nicholas about this, he told us that when she was a teenager, Stéphanie and her sister robbed MirrorTech and stole over half of their money. Nicholas said that they went to jail for it, but that it threw MirrorTech into bankruptcy and almost forced the company out of business. Nicholas said that when he got the company after his father's death, it wasn't doing well at all, but after he took over, MirrorTech has been thriving ever since, which is why several people, including Peter, wanted to buy it.

Nicholas was found to be innocent after the team arrested Stéphanie's father, Mainfred Beaufort, for her murder.

After Mainfred's arrest, we realized that Nicholas has gone missing.

### Unconsecrated

Nicholas was later interrogated after Giles and the player saw him lurking around Lady Georgescu's manor. When we pulled him aside, he asked us who we were and told us to stop harassing him. When the player tried to tell Nicholas who they were, Nicholas told us that he doesn't remember us at all and that we should stop making things up. We asked him how long he's been in the cult and he said that from what he remembers he's been in it for three years, which we know is false. We immediately realized that Nicholas was brainwashed and feared for the worst.

Nicholas was interrogated again after he broke into the police station saying he killed cult member Elin Dominguez. Nicholas said that he doesn't have a good memory and never has, which we know isn't true, but he said that he remembered Elin and that he was in a lot of pain when he saw her and that he remembers going into the palace to find Elin. After cult leader Samuel Seed announced that Elin was murdered in Lady Georgescu's manor, Nicholas panicked and thought that it was him. We assured Nicholas that he probably did nothing but put him in our custody just to make sure.

Nicholas was later spoken to after his fiancée, detention officer Ariel McGraw, asked to talk with him. She begun to cry when she realized that he didn't even know who she was.

Nicholas was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated cult member Chapman Gardner for Elin's murder.

### God Sees All

Nicholas was later spoken about after his fiancée, detention officer Ariel McGraw, told us that she heard that Nicholas got into an argument with cult leader Samuel Seed which caused in Nicholas walking away.

### Collapse Is Upon Us

Nicholas was interrogated yet again after Connor and the player found him wandering near the tent where Samuel was murdered. When we asked Nicholas, he said that he told us to leave him alone and to stop asking questions. He then ran off in a fit of rage and said that he wasn't going to speak to us again.

Nicholas was interrogated again after we caught him running around the police station screaming that his leader was gone. When we talked to him about this, he said that he recently got into an argument with Samuel because he didn't necessarily agree with some of his ways. However, Nicholas still thought of Samuel as family and he started crying, as he said things that he'll never be able to take back to his leader.

Nicholas was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated Samuel's brother, cult member Jay Seed for his murder.

### Holiday Kill

After being healed from the cult's brainwashing, Nicholas became a suspect once again after we accidentally stumbled over him during our investigation. Nicholas greeted the player again, before being asked about Dylan. He heard about the murder, but didn't knew about Dylan at all, before excusing himself as he is still feeling guilt of joining the cult and losing his job as a CEO in the process and needed a drink.

Nicholas was interrogated again about his argument with Dylan from CCTV. Nicholas then said he remembered Dylan was a former employee of his, loyal and hardworking, until Nicholas left the company for a cult. When he regained his senses, Nicholas met Dylan at the party and greeted him, but Dylan mocked him for being a pea-brained doofus and a "nub" for losing his job over a cult, which offended Nicholas and caused the two to argue.

Nicholas was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated tax collector Juliet Craft for Dylan's murder.

## The Devil Uncaged

Nicholas appeared briefly after surviving the nuclear blast. It's explained that the reason he survives is that Ariel locked him in an underground base to keep him safe. Later, Millie approached him and flirts with him, enticing him to have some fun.
