2nd Kill ~ Console / Video
So, bein' the community-minded fellow I am, I found something when walking in the Metal Sector this mornin'...
[Down an alleyway. Don't ask why he was there.]
...It says "Etra va, ilso Deo." Now, I'm a wee bit rusty, but... it sounds Latin to me.
[He holds up something to the camera.]
The back is covered in blood, but... it says... Tetravaal Robotics Division... whatever that means. This doesn't look native, so... Any claimers?
[He's fully aware that there may be more words under the blood, and that "etra va" could be Tetravaal, too, but... Well, he'd like to keep some of his intelligence to himself.]

Hence my explanation of what it was. ID badges usually use surname-first name format, so the 'Deo' is most likely part of the first name. That would give us Deodatus, Deoiridh, Deon, Deonne, Deorsa, Deorwine ...
[Hm. He'd have thought there would be more.]
Deon is the most common among those, at least in worlds with ID badges. 'Ilso' ends on an N, only missing one letter? Running under the assumption you can see five letters, single 'L', it could be Gilson, Milson, Nilson, Wilson. Of those, 'Wilson' is the most common. If it's double 'L', it could be Tillson.

[And here's a thought;]
We could wait for whoever's it is to own up. Give it a couple of days, if no-one's answered, then we can do word games to find out who it is.
[A pause.]
I'm sorry, I can't offer anything else for you to use your mind, sir, all other puzzles I have require the use of the eyes.

The owner could be bleeding to death somewhere and you'd rather wait and see whether they show up before investigating their potential presence? Well, I'm glad Keeliai hasn't been inundated by the heroic types of late.
[That takes a callous apathy even Solomon finds dangerous.]
video;
[He even scanned the area with his Eagle Vision. Nothing much pertaining to his mystery person. The trail dies off after a while.]
If I thought someone was in danger, I wouldn't have come to this... network. I would have looked myself. Which I did.
[His tone takes on a colder note.]
Looks to have been there a while, the blood is dried, and any trail was dead when I looked into it too far past the Metal Sector. At least a day, or two. Considerin' we haven't heard about any deaths or bodies, and I think death is a big thing, even on Keeliai, I'd assume whoever owns this is still alive.
[A pause.]
And before you question my investigative skills, I have ways of tracking people. There's a set of tracks, animal-like, heading out of the alley. There's drag-marks, and they seem to go in the direction of the Water District, which is where the Healer's Guild is located.
video;
[He looks thoughtful. There aren't many large animals on the turtle's back, especially not ones that roamed the city at will. He's heard of a wolf, but not in connection with a name. Then, finally, he shrugs. Solomon isn't the type to make apologies, so he doesn't. He does sound sardonic.]
Good for you. Next time it might be a good idea to lead with that, however, seeing as--as you say--death and bloodied items are big things even in Keeliai.
video;
[And that's fine; Shay makes his slight distaste known in his voice.]
I'll bear that in mind next time.
video;
[And now he has nothing with which to occupy himself. Damn. Solomon sighs.]
Ah, well. Good day.
[But he doesn't really wait for a response before signing off.]
