## Events of Island Investigations

### Murderous Waters

Tycen was first interrogated after detective Cody Horn and the player found his cigarette at the lighthouse near where his co-worker, dock worker Wan Jin was murdered. We interrogated Tycen about Jin's murder and he told us that he wanted him to retire, as he was old and they were carrying heavy supplies. We told Tycen he wouldn't have to worry about that, as Jin was recently found murdered. We walked away while Tycen was in shock.

Tycen was interrogated again after he came to the police station crying, saying that Jin's murder was his fault. When we asked Tycen to explain himself, he said that him and Jin got into an argument over retiring and that it would be for the best since his wife mentioned to Tycen that she always felt alone while Jin was working. However, Jin refused and walked past the lighthouse where he was murdered. Tycen said that he felt responsible since if they didn't have that argument, Jin would've probably still have been alive today.

Tycen was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated antique merchant Ali Srour for Jin's murder.

### Truth Lies Beneath

Tycen was later questioned again when the team found boxes with his fingerprints in lab assistant Aubrey Nottingham's office where she was dismembered. After asking Tycen about this, he said that he hopes he isn't in any trouble and that he would never kill anyone. He then told us that he left Aubrey's supplies in her office like she asked him to and then left.

Tycen was interrogated again after the team found security footage of Tycen telling Aubrey to get lost. When we asked Tycen about this, he said that Aubrey constantly touched his behind and flirted with him. After delivering the boxes, she threw herself on top of him and he finally had enough, so he told her to get lost.

Tycen was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated head scientist Wan Guanting for Aubrey's murder.

### A Maze Under All

Tycen was later questioned after the team found his pocket knife at the sewer where dictator Aurelio Matnette was murdered. When we asked Tycen about Aurelio, he said he didn't know him and said that he was busy but that he'd like to talk to us again soon to catch up after the murder was solved. We told him to stay near the scene as we may have more following questions soon.

Tycen was interrogated again after detective Leo Lennox and the player were told by chief Emma Jansen that she overheard Aurelio calling Tycen a scumbag while she was being carried away to her cell. After interrogating Tycen, we learned that he did know who Aurelio was and that he was just incredibly rude, but Tycen didn't know his name and thought that he was just a grump who lived in the sewer.

Tycen was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated Aurelio's wife, MI9 agent Carole Matnette, for his murder.

### The Headless King

Tycen was interrogated again after Cody and the player found his MI9 badge at the throne room where politician and Eagle News ally Brett Longhorn was beheaded. As soon as we recovered it and found out that it was Tycen's, he showed up at the throne room and said that we needed to talk. When we asked Tycen what was going on, he said that he was secretly an MI9 agent the entire time and that he was originally at the docks to keep tabs on Guanting. Hence, his cover as a dock worker with her husband, Jin. He then gave Carole the clear to kill Aurelio when he saw him alone. Aurelio saw him with his MI9 chip and immediately recognized him as an agent. Hence, why he called him a scumbag. Tycen said that like their leader Fiona Wells said, they want to work with us to take down Eagle News once and for all and want our help. We then asked him how we can be sure that he didn't kill Brett himself on Fiona's orders, since she got Aurelio killed without telling us too, and he said that the evidence will speak for itself.

Tycen was interrogated again after the team found out that the sword used to behead Brett had his fingerprints. When we told Tycen he was under arrest for Brett's murder, he said that he didn't do it and that he arrived at the palace ready to arrest some Eagle News members and free the team but all he saw was Brett beheaded. He wanted to examine the sword used to kill him, but he soon heard us coming so he threw the sword and it landed in the cloning factory and he fled the scene.

Tycen was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated Eagle News CEO Fabian Marc-Holmann for Brett's murder.

After arresting Fabian, we were told by Fiona and Tycen did some digging on our team and found out that Leo was secretly working with Eagle News the whole time, giving them information so they could stay one step ahead of the team. Leo ratted out the team in the base and got them all kidnapped, which explains why only he was left with the player. We ask Fiona and Tycen why Leo would do such a thing, and Tycen said that he saw Fabian giving Leo tons of money for acting as a spy, money he used for his clothes and Ferraris, and generally for flexing it on the team. Fiona said she didn’t want us to find out because she didn’t want to reveal her cover and she knew that if she said anything when Leo and the player confronted her for killing Lucas, he would shoot her or the player.

We later try to sneak out of the palace with Fiona and Tycen, but we come face to face with Clone Aurelio Matnette, who starts to shoot us and hits lab chief Karen Wilson in the shoulder. He keeps going but as soon as he turns the gun on Karen and tries to shoot, Tycen jumps out of nowhere and takes in the bullet, which gives coroner Julia Sanchez enough time to shoot Aurelio in the head. We take Tycen with us and try to rush out of the palace, but before reaching the exit we hear a loud ticking sound and then a huge explosion that destroys the entire palace.

### Behind The Ruins

After being presumed to be dead after the explosion for the entire case, Tycen showed up and shot and killed terrorist Dario Rebelo after he killed profiler Noel Valentine and Clone Emma Jansen. Tycen then proposed to Karen and the two got married. After the wedding, the remaining team members got together and made a vow to each other that they would never return to Santa Matnette ever again following the events that happened throughout the season.

## Events of Time Check

### Sources Cut

After our gun duel with rogue time traveler Wynston Hammacher and the rest of the Shadow Ghosts, we were informed by assistant historian Heather Müller that someone dumped a few bodies in our time machine, one of which being Tycen's and the others being those of Alice Davis and Harris Knap's.

## Murder Details

Tycen's 2051 self was shot in the head in the time machine escape pod room. Clive said that Tycen was exhausted before his murder and that he was clearly running from his killer. However, Clive said that Tycen engaged in a fist fight with his killer and punched them in the face, as there was blood on his fist. Clive said that the blood wasn't a match for Tycen's but it was his same blood type: the A- blood group. Clive said that whoever killed Tycen undoubtably has an A- blood type.

## Relationship with Suspects

None of the suspects knew Tycen, as he was from the 2040's and the rest of the team was from 2100.

## Killer and Motives

The killer turned out to be chief Nolan Tyrell.

Upon admitting to the murder, Nolan claimed that he never wanted to become a murderer in the first place and that he found out that the Terror Detection Bureau was evil and responsible for the altering of the timeline. He then told us that Tycen and Alice were the co-leaders together and that he had to kill them since they were going to sabotage the time machine and alter the timeline even more.

After being exposed by tech expert Declan Bryne, "Nolan" was revealed to be Shadow Ghost leader Michael Patterson, who killed Tycen for killing Dario and foiling his plans to take over Eagle News for its resources. Michael then had Shadow Ghost and hitwoman Magdalene Thompson kidnap Tycen from 2051, as that was the earliest time they were able to locate him at, knock him out, and lure him to 2100, where Michael would kill him as payback.

## Events of Stories Uncaged

### God Sees All

Tycen was interrogated again after detective Connor Stout and the player were told by Tycen that his brother, security guard Tavell Joyner, was murdered, and that after our adventures in Santa Matnette together, we're the only ones that he trusts to solve the murder. We decided to start by asking Tycen some questions about his brother, and he first told us that it was great to see us again. We knew he would die in eight years from now, but we didn't say anything in order to not freak him out. We told him it was great to see him too but not under these circumstances. He agreed and said that him and Tavell weren't in touch for a while but he wanted to reconnect with him. Tycen said that it's unfortunate that he'll never have that chance again and that he'll let us know if he finds everything and won't throw it out of a palace window this time.

Tycen was interrogated again after Connor and the player were told by cult leader Samuel Seed that he offered Tavell his brother back if he joined his cult, Eden's Children. When we interrogated Tycen about this, he said that he didn't say anything before because he wanted to catch up with us but he suspected that Tavell was a member of Eden's Children, which would explain why he was at the tents area. Tycen said that he tried ignoring his brother when he later interrogated him about it but Tavell kept saying he had nothing to do with Eden's Children.

Tycen was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated model and cult member Arabella Roberts for Tavell's murder.

### Collapse Is Upon Us

Tycen was interrogated again after Connor and the player found him in Samuel Seed's tent where he was bashed on the head several times. When we pulled Tycen aside, he told us that he waited for us to come and found the sledgehammer. Tycen said that this time, like he promised, he would give it to us rather than throw it out of a castle window. We chuckled and he said that he's glad that Samuel is finally dead since it's been a pain to try and throw him behind bars since he was undoubtably the one responsible for all the brainwashing that's occurring in Emerald City.

Tycen was interrogated again after we found a wanted poster he took down, telling people that if they see Samuel, they have permission to shoot on sight. When we asked Tycen about this, he said that he didn't care if Samuel was dead or alive, he just wanted him off the streets since he was a menace to society.

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

### Over And Out

Tycen became a suspect after he had approached the detectives and saw his agent dead. Then said he had arrived at MirrorTech because he heard a report from one of the agents, who called him there to discuss private business. Tycen believed this person may be Jude, but he wasn't sure since the voice was blurry and jagged. Tycen was angry at the loss of his agent, before storming off to enact more reinforcement to prevent more deaths amongst the M19.

Tycen was questioned for the second time after he had marked one of Jude's dossiers "denied". Tycen explains that Jude had suspected MirrorTech to have a mole beneath them and filed a dossier to have the permit to investigate them. Tycen denied it, since there's no evidence to prove the suspicions, and Tycen suspected this may be Jude's usual paranoia. Jude decided to rebel and investigate either way, which angered Tycen for disobedience.

In the end, Tycen was found guilty of Jude's murder. Tycen says Jude was a dirty traitor. He came to MirrorTech's office to do something bad for the Saviors. He doesn't know what, but he knows there's something going on there that isn't good for us. He only wanted to arrest Jude, but he attacked Tycen with a katana. They struggled and when Tycen got hold of the katana, he just struck down on Jude's head with it without thinking.

Judge Palin had Tycen let go due to circumstances.

### Burning Hot News

Tycen became a suspect once again after M19 documents were found at the crime scene. Tycen told us he's busy investigating the newsroom after researching the Arthur Rockefeller murder case and finding out his son Martin's involved in the crime. Tycen said he discovered that Martin was with the Saviors the whole time, hence why he visited the newsroom to arrest him, only to find him dead.

Tycen was questioned for the second time after he was discovered breaking inside the victim's secret hideout. Tycen explained he is trying to recover a lost item, before slipping out and that this isn't his first time breaking inside. He then confessed he broke in at first to find substantial evidence to take down the Saviors, but Martin soon discovered he was there, and the two fought. Tycen managed to win the fight and tried to arrest Martin for good, but he sprayed the man with tear gas and fled.

Tycen was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated Emerald Daily owner Patrick Saturday for Martin's murder.

### The Devil Uncaged

Tycen became a suspect after we found Jude's gun at the crime scene. Since Jude is long dead and Tycen took all of his items as evidence, we asked Tycen about his presence. Tycen explains that he is simply finding a way to eliminate the Saviors from the background. He kept a low profile for long after he killed Jude and after being a suspect in a Savior's murder, just to find out any ways to weaken the enemy. When we told him about Laszlo's murder, he was happy, before telling us that he will make sure the rest will be taken off.

Tycen was questioned again after we found out that he fought with Laszlo at the castle, per security cameras. Tycen told us he had enough about going into the peaceful route by simply arresting him, he wanted to teach the man a lesson with a fight. When they did, Laszlo did put a good fight despite his age and his frail body. Tycen sees that Laszlo planned to kill him after he lost by beheading, but he suddenly left once he heard of something "malicious". Tycen never heard anything from Laszlo onwards, assuming he died after he left.

Tycen was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated acting chief Bridget Luders once again for Laszlo's murder. He later appeared to escort the detective along with his father, Tashard.
