	When a crime is committed on board the SEV Torch, it is often very obvious who the culprit is. Many murderers lack subtlety.

Unfortunately, there are other times where more subtle crimes are carried out – a lone, desiccated corpse is found in maintenance, or a bomb is found attached to a fuel line~~, or the AI was subverted~~, or the [[Commanding Officer]] simply vanishes and leaves behind only ominous bloodstains.

	The Forensics Technician has access to a wide variety of equipment, ranging from UV lighting to cameras to fingerprint dusters to electron microscopes to handheld mass spectrometers. Each of these devices has a unique function in helping to track down and identify the perpetrators of any crime committed on the station. It is the Forensic Technician's job to secure any crime scenes, interview any witnesses, and examine the resulting evidence thoroughly. Through careful analysis, they will turn this evidence into a clear description of what happened, who did it, and how.

The '''Forensic Technician''' is the sleuthing arm of the Security department, investigating crime scenes, taking fingerprints, hunting down leads, and solving the coldest of cases. The Forensic Technician answers to the [[Chief of Security]].
