    Kes!

    A partner!

    Noir can has partner...as treat a...

    Roll 2d20, diff 0, for the scanning!
     
    Dang! Three successes!

    That means you get three questions you can ask about the crime scene that I can answer - though, I can answer vaguely.

    ASK THY THREE QUESTIOSN, Sluthemans! We shall do un votė...

    BEGIN VOTÉ!
     
    I feel like "how many people where present at 1924?" Would be a good quotation to ask.

    Maybe something about the balcony as well, since that was a key part of the description.
     
    [X] Plan Get To Da Phasah.
    -[X] Question 1: What trajectory did any and all high energy discharges during the time frame in question take?
    -[X] Question 2: Where was Tom Paris standing at the attempted beam out?
    -[X] Question 3: By syncing Voyager's chronometer to local time keeping and cross referencing logs, exactly when did the failed beam out occur?

    We know exactly when the Doctor was shot, and where the body was found. If there was more than one discharge it could explain the phaser being drained without linking that as the weapon. Likewise, if we know where the weapons where shot from/to it can eliminate Paris as a suspect.

    Same with getting the exact timing of the beam out attempt compared to the timing of the medical alert. If the beam out was before the medical alert then their prudent security systems wouldn't have been what jammed the beam out and would once more undercut their attempted pinning of the murder on him.

    Once we get Kes here we need to get access to that phaser and check it. The settings and logs should show if it could have even been the weapon.

    Keep in mind that we're scanning the scene here. At Dragon's discretion of course, but we might want to limit questions to being about the room itself, and to things we might not be able to work out without access to the room.

    Question 3 could be asked at a later time, and the pattern buffer might wherever Paris is locked up.
     
    [X] Has any furniture been moved in the past day?
    [X] Is there any evidence to suggest that there may have been anyone in the area close enough to witness the crime?
    [X] How many people were present in the room/balcony at 1924?

    This is good!

    The phaser should have an internal chronometer as well, right? We should definitely revisit this when we have access to it

    Edit: changed one vote cause I think verifying the nature of the phaser is important
    [x] Was it definitely a Starfleet phaser that killed Dr. Ren?

    Maybe we should scan to see how many different people entered the room in the day leading up to the murder. It should be well within the tricorder's ability to scan for genetic material and work out how fresh the samples are.

    If parts of the room turn out to have been cleaned of samples that would be a clue in of itself.

    That's a good idea!

    Maybe do something like:
    [x] Who was present in the room in the last 24 hours?
    [x] Have any parts of the room been cleaned?
    [] Was it definitely a Starfleet phaser that killed Dr. Ren?

    I'm also tempted by this:
    [] Could the doctor have been shot through the window?
    I think @SweetJackal might be onto something with the angles of everything. The window was open so maybe someone shot the doctor over Tom's shoulder and he shot back out the window? Could explain why he had a drained phaser and tried to beam out immediately: he could have felt he was still in danger.

    Of course this is purely conjecture.

    Edit:
    Changing my vote again to include SweetJackal's question. If Tom fired out the window into the sky it might not have left a trail. Although, does a phaser beam radiate heat as it passes?

    [x] What trajectory did any and all high energy discharges during the time frame in question take?

    Edit edit: changed votes again

    Local sensors would have picked up weapons fire coming from outside the house. Until we find proof that they've been spoofed I'm of the opinion that we should approach things with the assumption the doctor was killed by someone or something within the room.

    I'm iffy about trying to use scans to determine if a Starfleet phaser was what was used to kill the doctor. When Kira got kidnapped the DS9 crew had difficulty determining for certain if she was transported or killed by a phaser or distruptor on max settings. That Tom's phaser was partially drained also suggests to me someone may have gotten their hands on it and actually used it to kill the doctor in which case checking if a phaser was responsible for the doctor's death would do little to help prove Tom's innocence.

    [X] Who was present in the room in the last 24 hours?
    [X] Have any parts of the room been cleaned?
    [ ] Has any furniture been moved in the past day?
    [X] What trajectory did any and all high energy discharges during the time frame in question take?

    Edit:
    Changed up my vote.

    I feel as if total partial disintegration is a slightly different case which should give slightly more information than total disintegration. And even if we do only confirm that it was Toms phaser that will give us more information to use when questioning people. But i do feel like there's merit to your line of questioning… it's very rough only having three.
     
    Well the deciding factor for me is the fact that we will have other opportunities and ways to check what weapon it was that killed the doctor, such as examining the body, or confirm if it was Tom's phaser that did it in the future but we'll only be able to check the contents of the room while we're in it.
     
    Since this is HBO Max Voyager and not...whatever Voyager was on in the past, NBC, I think? Anyway, a full powered phaser doesn't...clearly vaporize people into smoke.

    It's more of a...blood mist with shrapnel of superheated bone
     
    [X] Risk beaming down a partner - the Technocracy may be less than pleased with you, but having someone to watch your back is a good idea.
    -[x] Kes, of course. Psychically talented, a trained agent with an eye for detail work, Kes is the most logical choice for a partner and not at all because she reminds you of family.

    Fair. I've changed again, but kept the question about angles and discharges. It's important to try and find any other weapons fire in the room I think.

    It was UPN. I only know this because SF Debris occasionally makes mention of their scummy advertising tactics in Voyager reviews.

    I think budget was another big factor in keeping down the gore. After all TNG went and blew up a guy in exactly the way that you describe in its first season.
