📸 Investigation: Captain Elias Monroe


Captain Monroe runs a tight ship—until now.
He hasn’t spoken to the press or the guests, except to assure them everything is “under control.”
But in private, he’s been reviewing footage, crew reports… and quietly asking his own questions.
He’s more involved than he lets on.
And maybe more connected to the victim than anyone expected.

🗣️ Interrogation Snippet:
“I don’t care what the passengers think—this is my ship,” Elias says, voice cold. “And I take it personally when someone ends up dead in my pool.”

He glances at the security log. “Javier had a run-in with crew on Day Two. Something about access to a restricted hallway. I reprimanded him, but he just laughed it off.”

Then: “Between you and me… he threatened to file a complaint. Said he knew things about our hiring process. I figured it was hot air. Now? I’m not so sure.”

📚Tasks:
1. Read a book featuring a ship, cruise, or isolated setting
2. Read a book where someone is hiding something behind professionalism
3. Read a book where a character breaks the rules

So sorry, I overlooked that!
