Characters[]
Victor Lossett[]
Victor is the co-owner of the lab. He hires Nancy to investigate the murder and is quite impatient for her to solve it. However, he seems very certain that Ryan Kilpatrick is the murderer.
Ryan Kilpatrick[]
Ryan is the lab's resident technical expert, friendly but somewhat eccentric. She is the prime suspect in Niko's death, having built a special part for the Tesla coil upon his request, but insists that she's not guilty.
Mason Quinto[]
Mason is the fussy senior lab assistant. Mason is a dedicated scientist, but believes that one's work should be private. He disliked and resented Niko for reading through his files without his knowledge.
Ellie York[]
Ellie works the night shift in the research department, mainly because she does not get along with Mason and wants to avoid him. She discovered Niko's body, but has little to say about the murder.
Gray Cortright[]
Gray is the head of lab security. Perhaps the most reticent of the whole team, he almost never answers Nancy with anything more than a few words.
Niko Jovic[]
Niko is the murder victim. He was a quiet and introverted scientist who greatly admired Nikola Tesla and believed in the free sharing of scientific research and information.
