Janet was immediately invested. I could tell. The moment Gena said that, my blood felt like sharp icicles trying to get through my heart.
Almost immediately, I tried to read Gena's memories. What observations did she find?
Instead...I got nothing related to the Shifter. Why?

"There was a sigil flickering on its neck before it got crushed, captain." Akira said, looking at me with worried and sad eyes.
"From this angle, it looks blurry but you can see Roxy looking elsewhere. She didn't see it, missed it because of the deafening cries of the creature, Captain." Akira said.
Oh my Devil!
I played along, giving an expression of 'shit! How could I have missed this!?'
"Good job, Akira." Janet said, holding the blurry photo against the sunlight. She noticed something right away than none of us could.
