Buried Secrets

Detectives

Group of people discussing a murder at a crime scene

Analysts, scientists, private eyes, CSI - people who are in the game to fight crime and solve mysteries. This can result in a game reminiscent of series like The X-Files, CSI, Zoo, or Trail of Cthulu - where an intellectual puzzle is the real focus of the game.

When you choose Detectives, your crew gains xp on a mission where you successfully close a case, prevent a crime, or identify a conspiracy agent.

This piece of metal that they took out of Duane Barry, it has some kind of code on it. I ran it through a scanner, and some kind of serial number came up. What the hell is this thing, Mulder?
