[00:13] Thor Gundersen says, "Please state your name and profession."
[00:33] Syd Garland says, "My name is Syd Garland. I am a detective working for the Station 13 branch of Nanotrasen."
[00:59] Thor Gundersen asks, "Could you walk me through an average shift for someone in your line of work?"
[01:57] Syd Garland says, "Most shifts are rather mundane and uneventful, but occasionally I've experienced some where we uncover a syndicate spy, an alien disguised as a human... we get some crazy shifts sometimes. But not often."
[02:25] Syd Garland says, "Usually I start with a coffee from the vending machine across my office, and see if the chef has anything to eat."
[02:40] Thor Gundersen asks, "What is your favorite dish?"
[03:04] Syd Garland says, "My favorite dish? That would probably have to be the cherry pie. Chef does a good job on that one."
[03:13] Thor Gundersen says, "That he does."
[03:23] Thor Gundersen asks, "So after you get food, what do you do?"
[03:40] Syd Garland says, "Walk over to my office and monitor the CCTVs."
[03:51] Thor Gundersen asks, "I assume you are on the lookout for crimes?"
[03:56] Syd Garland says, "That is my duty, yes."
[04:14] Syd Garland says, "Occasionally, I get called for a pursuit or manhunt."
[04:14] Syd Garland says, "Occasionally, I get called for a pursuit or manhunt."
[04:18] newscaster beeps, "Breaking news from Station Announcements!"
[04:28] Thor Gundersen asks, "What about murders?"
[04:45] Syd Garland says, "Those happen from time to time."
[04:55] Thor Gundersen asks, "What do you do when you get on the scene of a murder?"
[05:14] Syd Garland says, "Look around the scene, see if there are any immediate evidence sources."
[05:28] Syd Garland says, "If there's a body, I note the name and profession."
[05:48] Syd Garland says, "Sometimes there are bullet casings, and we can find out what kind of gun the suspect was using with those."
[06:18] Syd Garland says, "Sometimes there's just a bloody crowbar with fingerprints. I bag them all and ship them to Evidence for further processing."
[06:36] Thor Gundersen asks, "What happens if you get a fingerprint match?"
[06:43] newscaster beeps, "Breaking news from Station Announcements!"
[06:51] Syd Garland
says, "Then I inform Security, and they detain the suspect and we interrogate him."
[07:11] Thor Gundersen asks, "Are there specific interrogation methods you use?"
[07:56] Syd Garland says, "If we have hard evidence, we can bribe the suspect for lesser punishments, yes. Such as cyborgization as opposed to execution."
[08:22] Thor Gundersen says, "Very interesting."
[08:26] Syd Garland says, "Quite."
[08:36] Thor Gundersen asks, "Now, before we end the interview, would you like to add anything else?"
