I have no idea. It’s not good enough just to watch them back off like that.
narrows her eyes, scanning the room We need to find out who did this. Let's start by talking to the staff and security personnel. They might have seen something or someone suspicious.
Alright, let’s head back to security footage first.
walks purposefully towards the security room, her heels clicking on the floor
as we go back to the footage, we see someone wearing a mask holding a bag of flour
narrowing her eyes There you are. That masked figure clearly had something to do with this.
Yeah, let’s run it back and see if we can make out their face.
analyzing the footage intently Look at that, Holyrise! The masked figure is trying to hide their face, but there's a moment when they catch a glimpse of themselves in a reflection.

You better believe it, Holyrise. pauses Emily, it's Adrian. I need your expertise in enhancing an image from security footage. We might have a culprit in our midst.
Okay, so what do you think, Emily? Can you pull up anything useful from this image?
leans in closer to the screen, speaking with urgency Emily, we need you to focus on that silver ring. Can you enhance its details? Maybe we can identify the maker or even trace its ownership back to the culprit.
I’ll try my best with what we got here.
glancing around the room We need to handle this discreetly, Holyrise. The last thing we need is to alert the media and cause a frenzy.
I’m aware of that, Adrian. So what’s your suggestion then?
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Our best bet is to form a covert team, Holyrise.
