The Milliways Security force has gone to impressive lengths to preserve the scene of the crime without starting a panic. Their efforts are commendable!
And really, there was nothing they could do about the window of time between the discovery of the body and Security's response, when a thirteen-year-old girl, storming out of her greenhouse in a huff, might stumble across an unpleasant scene . . .
And then spend the next good while being unpleasantly and embarrassingly sick in the bushes, and another period of time cleaning herself off, before marching straight-backed into the bar and announcing in a voice that is not quiet: "I have found a body in pieces out back. I did not kill it, but somebody did!"
[OOC: OK, guys . . . the free-for-all is open. :D Bear in mind that the scene of the crime itself is still warded, and anyone who tries to approach will get a shock! But feel free to react to the news here, to thread conversations reacting to the news, etc. - the post is open indefinitely.]
