The Queen's Guard

The Queen's Guard is the 7th case of Mysteries of Space, the second case to occur in Mars, as well as being the 18th case overall.

## Killer and Motives

The killer turned out to be Britney.

Kelsy: YOU killed Guard Jerome!? I would have never imagined!

Britney: The unthinkable could be quite imaginable, but I couldn’t imagine why you think I did it?

Kelsy: We have all the evidence! Could the motive be that you didn’t like the guard’s perverted ways?

Britney: No, I did it because he was trying to stop me from escaping!

Britney: (holds mouth)

Kelsy: What!?

Britney: Listen, for months I’ve been saving up money as the queen’s maid to buy rocket parts on the black market.

Britney: I finished setting up my last screw then the guard saw me!

Britney: I ran when he did, I could even hear him breaking it from a far.

Britney: He then managed to find me in the queen’s spring ponds, I knew I had no other choice than to fight back from my fighting classes, but I didn’t know I had better moves than him!

Britney: I knew I would do nothing to his armor, so I used his armor to his advantage on drowned him in the pond while holding his head in the water, and since his armor didn’t let any air through at the top, but only at the bottom where the water was, I need his drown to death!

Britney: I then wanted to see if I could salvage any of the parts he took from the rocket, hence why you saw the body moved more than the position I had him dead.

Britney: But I heard the queen’s heels coming from the other direction so I had to flee the scene to her throne room to not raise suspicion, but it seems you caught me after all.

Kelsy: Well, I can’t say I agree with how royalty forces humans born on mars to stay on the planet, you’ve committed manslaughter, so we shall take you to the queen.

*(Sentence)*

Kelsy: My queen, we have found your guard’s killer!

Queen Martian: My maid!? How preposterous!? I am appalled you have brought me her insinuating that she would murder one of my own guards!

Britney: It’s true my liege, I killed the guard, but I was desperate!

Britney: You’ve treated me terribly, and I wanted to leave, I tried building my own rocket but Guard Jerome saw me, so I had to shut him up.

Queen Martian: Well, that’s quite impressive, I do say maybe an armor modification will be done for my guards.

Queen Martian: Though, I will say, I have quite the punishment for you.

Britney: Whatever you wish, my queen. I will take any punishment you give me.

Queen Martian: Well I sentence you to be my personal harlot for a year, and then when your sentence is complete, I will send you to earth like you wanted.

Britney: Oh thank you my liege! Anything to leave this planet prison!

## Secrets of Mars (2/5)

Christine tells us that we need to investigate the king and queen more, we decide to ask Stefaniya about what she learned, and she tells us that they banned history books, we find it suspicious as they might be trying to cover up their shady past to power. We search The King and Queen’s throne to see if they documented things, all we found in the king’s room is a book about potion recipes, but we think it’s fruitless to dwell on, while we attempt to leave one of the guards stop us and notify the king and yell “TRAITORS!” We think we may be doomed at this point, but we escape from some man grabbing our arms and running, they never spoke or told us his name but he wrote a note saying: “The military is a key to your investigation.” We tell Christine about it and she thinks it’s a lead we should take for now.
