I'm only speaking from experience. Hawk cringes at the sound. Oh, what now?

Maybe Leontiy is about to show his dirty mug up close. Sure would hope so.
Oberyn clenches his fists and clenches his jaw.

The dock doors open with a reluctant shudder, like it's been decades since its opened. The air is the room takes a nasty turn to the colder side, and when you look, it seems that it's been thrust open with a care in the world.
Lights flicker in the dock, unsteady, shadows of great crates stockpiled to the ceiling.
There's some sort of feeling in the air, like this was something that would shift everything again. For better or for worse... docking is now open and can be reached.

It wouldn't be that easy, Oberyn. This has been done for as long as it has been because he's good at what he does.

Inside docking, you can only describe it as feeling like you've walked into another world. The industrial feel seems to bleed into the room, the unadorned metal and the overly plastic feel seeming to suck the life out of you. It's quiet, it's poorly lit, and massive hangar doors sit on the other side. Between you and that, however, is a vast array of shipping containers. They pack the room from floor to ceiling, like they were meant to sit here for permanent storage. The hanger doors are only visible through small cracks.
A solitary office sits on the walkway you're standing on, looking at the wall of shipping containers. It has a heavy oak door on it - locked - and a sign.
"SORRY, WE'RE CLOSED."
The window reveals a different scene. A hanging light seems to dangle airily over a desk, bloodied. A half decomposed man lies back in a chair, a computer running a screensaver. The room feels impossibly tight, clustering around his half exposed chest from his torn shirt.
A knife is stabbed in him. A necklace with a blue rose is wrapped around it.
It's Leontiy.

Fabiano opens the door.
...
Whatever you were expecting, there was nothing on the other side.
No smell. No noise. Just empty footsteps marking all your movements. The room is just as it looked like before. A desk. A man. A knife with a necklace hanging on the edge of it. The computer runs idly on in the background, flashing a pallid blue glow onto the keyboard. A filing cabinet is flipped over, hidden beneath the window.

Hmph. The devil's in the details, as usual. This might be what I actually thought. Or it could be a body double.
Frankly, there's no way to tell. Just stay calm.

Hawk seems to be in shock of some kind.

Hawk takes the necklace, holding it in her hands. She seems... out of it.
Federico investigates the filing cabinets, Oberyn takes a look at the computer, and Fabiano looks at the man.

... Hawk closes her hands with the necklace in it. She closes her eyes and presses her hands, with the necklace clasped in them, to her chest, head down.

The filing cabinet's got burnt files in it, only thing that's left is some clippings of an old event. A shuttle that seemed to face, well, death but the cause is unclear. They either starved to death, or got destroyed. Nothing's consistent.

Oberyn, hunched over the computer, groans and half turns towards the crowd.
Shit out of luck. This computer needs an username and password to get into it. Don't suppose any of you...?

Leonity is either playing dumb or he's really is ignorant of things. Either way he's saying he doesn't believe we see his dead body.

It seems to be JTR, taking a second pass. It's still being covered up pretty good.

What the fuck is going on...? Leontiy is definitely dead and has been for a while. Is the person we’re talking to a fake? He doesn’t seem aware of his body.
