You spend five minutes scouring a room, a crime scene, or a specific landmark for clues, hidden details, and traces of passage.

Roll+FOR. You gain favour if you have specialized tools or if the area is undisturbed.

• Complete Success: Your search is exhaustive. You may ask the Director two questions from the list below. In addition, you may spend a further five minutes to roll again immediately, but treat a complete success on this follow-up roll as a success.
• Success: You find the key details. You may ask the Director two questions from the list below.
• Partial Success: You find something of interest, but your search is imperfect. You may ask the Director one question from the list below. Describe what issue has made it impossible for you to find any more details.
• Failure: You find nothing of interest.
• Complete Failure: You draw a dangerously incorrect conclusion. You must choose one question from the list below, and the Director will give you a completely false—but plausible—answer. Your character believes that this false answer is true.

Constraint: Unless you achieved a complete success, you cannot Investigate this specific location again. Even with a complete success, you may only roll one additional time, and then cannot Investigate this area again.

• In what direction did the subjects leave this area?
• Is there a clue here that points toward a specific foe or faction?
