Scene: A dimly lit interrogation room in a crumbling precinct on New Earth. The walls hum with the residual energy of Neutrino Chemical Energy (NCE) systems. Detective Samara Nova adjusts her holo-visor as she peers at the glowing data streams from her terminal. Opposite her sits Lieutenant Jax Harmon, a glib smile barely masking his tension.
Jax Harmon was a seasoned detective with a reputation for being charming and quick-witted. His sharp features were accentuated by the dim lighting of the interrogation room, casting shadows across his face. Despite the crumbling precinct and the hum of the NCE systems, Jax remained composed, his cool demeanor belying the tension that simmers beneath the surface.
As he sits across from Detective Samara Nova, Jax's glib smile never falters, but there was a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes. He knew that Samara was a formidable opponent, her keen intellect and unwavering determination making her a force to be reckoned with. Yet, Jax was not one to back down easily. He was a master of manipulation, skilled at using his charm and wit to navigate even the most treacherous of situations.
Despite the gravity of the situation, Jax's mind was always working, analyzing every detail and searching for a way out. He was a man of many secrets, his past shrouded in mystery and intrigue. But in this moment, under the watchful gaze of Detective Nova, Jax knew that his carefully constructed facade may not be enough to protect him.
As the data streams from the terminal glow in the darkness, Jax's smile tightens imperceptibly. He knew that the truth will eventually come to light, and he must decide whether to continue playing the game or finally face the consequences of his actions. In this dimly lit interrogation room, Jax Harmon was a man on the edge, teetering between deception and redemption.

Samara: (leaning forward) "You know, Jax, I can't help but notice the telltale signs of Neutrino exposure are all over you. Let's drop the act. Why are you here?"
Jax: (cocking an eyebrow) "Detective Nova, this is an interrogation room, not a social club. You should start with a more pleasant question."
Samara: (smirking) "Pleasant? We're discussing the murder of Officer Flynn. The pleasant part ended there. Speaking of pleasant conversations, did you know he was deeply invested in NCE research?"
---
Scene: Samara activates her holo-visor, projecting a 3D image of Flynn's lab. Data points highlight extensive NCE experiments and secretive communications.
---
Jax: (shifting in his chair) "So, he was working on something important. That doesn't mean I had anything to do with his death."
Samara: (narrowing her eyes) "You're right. But it does mean you had a motive, doesn't it? I saw the logs. Officer Flynn was going to expose a scheme involving NCE smuggling within the ranks. What can you tell me about that?"
---
Scene: The air thickens with tension as Jax's facade begins to crack. He leans back, eying the door, clearly weighing his options.
---
Jax: "You think you know everything, don't you? Flynn was reckless. His brashness threatened us all. He should have left things alone."
Samara: (pressing) "Or maybe you wanted to silence him. The higher-ups were benefiting from those illegal NCE trades. You were moving up the ranks, Jax. Did you think getting rid of him would cement your position?"
---
Scene: Jax's expression hardens as he leans closer, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper.
---
Jax: "You have no idea how deep this goes, Samara. If I'm going down, I'll take you with me. They have ears everywhere."
Samara: (smirking again) "I'm counting on it, soldier. But this time, it's my turn. Who is 'they'?"
---
Scene: A sudden flash of a holo-image interrupts, showing a clandestine meeting of high-ranking officers. Samara taps her visor. The image zooms in on a familiar emblem — the Neutrino Syndicate.
---
Jax: (gasping) "You shouldn't have seen that! Some things are better left buried!"
Samara: "Ah, but I thrive on unearthing truths. What does the Syndicate have to do with Flynn's death? Were you in touch with them?"
---
Scene: The lights flicker ominously, casting shadows that dance across the room, reflecting a sense of danger. Jax looks torn between fear and desperation.
---
Jax: "You don't understand! They control the NCE market and… and the officers. They made Flynn disappear to protect their interests, but I… I didn't kill him!"
Samara: "If the Syndicate did it, then you know who is truly behind this. Tell me, Jax. I can keep you safe. But I need names."
---
Scene: The soft whir of the terminal intensifies as Samara shifts her focus to the data. She knows she's close to uncovering a lethal network. Jax's face contorts with anxiety.
---
Jax: "Alright! Alright, just don't tell anyone I spoke! The head of the Syndicate is Admiral Drakken! He—"
Samara: (interrupting) "Admiral Drakken? The same Admiral who's been pushing for NCE privatization? Come on, Jax. I need more than just a name."
---
Scene: A distant siren echoes through the precinct as the room grows tense. The stakes are rising.
---
Jax: (voice trembling) "It's not just him. There are others… high-ranking officers! If I name them, they'll kill me."
Samara: "Then name them and let's bring this to light together. You can clear Flynn's name and take down this empire of shadows."
---
Scene: Silence hangs in the air as Jax looks at her, caught in a moral dilemma. The flickering lights mirror their charged atmosphere.
---
Jax: (sighing heavily) "Alright, I'll do it. But you need to help me get out of the crossfire."
Samara: (smiling slightly) "Deal. But first, let's expose the truth."
---
Scene: They both lean in as Jax begins to recount names. Outside the interrogation room, storm clouds gather, signifying the brewing chaos on New Earth, as the hidden connections between power and corruption start to unravel.
Killer Of Sector 9 :
In the gleaming spires of New Earth, where technology intertwined seamlessly with the fabric of life, an eerie tension settled over Sector 9. Dominated by a massive Neutrino energy plant, this vibrant region had been a beacon of hope, harnessing the elusive particle to fuel the burgeoning metropolis. Yet, a shadow had cast itself upon the community, and a series of unexplained deaths introduced a chilling atmosphere to the otherwise progressive sector.
