Broken Combs at Imperial Quay
≈ 6 min
The Solent Apiary Research Collective maintains a small demonstration apiary — six observation hives housed in a timber pavilion on the Terminal's north courtyard — as part of a pollinator-science outreach exhibit. When the Collective's duty researcher arrived at 07:10 on Friday 8 August 2026, she found the pavilion in disarray. Your task is to profile the offender's behaviour based on the scene, the victim record, the witness accounts, and the physical evidence. You are not asked to name anyone — only to characterise how the offence was carried out.
The scene
Imperial Quay Terminal, a 1930s ocean-liner embarkation building repurposed as a marine heritage centre and seasonal exhibition hall
