I'm thinking our researcher guy is stumbling across reaper stuff. The murderer is one of those Cerberus sleeper agents that they have inserted back into galactic society.
Dunno exactly what this researcher would have found. Fishing for ideas.

Wanderer atop the sea of clouds or whatever

@Racist_Columbo I think it would be interesting if you inserted more of your own morality into your story. Cerberus was much more interesting when they weren't just straight up the evil Nazis.

Maybe that researcher worked towards some nefarious end himself or was backed by some org?
The perp being a Salarian but also a Cerberus sleeper is a very interesting thread for the players to pull on!

@WandererUber (at work so response is gonna be slow)
I kinda want them to be "edgy but your goals are aligned". ME2 Cerberus was the most interesting of their depictions. I like the "alliance black ops gone rogue" angle.
So they're untrustworthy spooks, but they've gotten their hands on something to fight The Reapers
My worry in part is that it crosses over too much with the main plot tbh

@Racist_Columbo I thought this was all after the reapers were defeated

@WandererUber I'm indecisive. I think it could be cool to have a game before the Reapers, and the autism project of a post-reaper war game.
