Jumpseat Galley → Cockpit Intercom02:32 UTC
Elena (Purser): "Captain, passenger in 2A appears dizzy after taking fresh ice. Can we descend to 28,000?"

Investigative Tiered Hints
Hint 1: Poison Onset Delay▼
Hawthorne drank his first glass of wine at 01:15 UTC and was perfectly healthy for an hour. Potassium cyanide kills within 15 minutes. The poison was NOT on the initial glass rim — it was delivered much later in something that melted slowly.
Hint 2: The 02:10 UTC Galley Request▼
Check the Galley 1L log and the audio clue at 02:11 UTC. Hawthorne requested an ice bucket with cylindrical cubes. The cyanide was frozen inside the hollow ice and only dissolved into his warm wine around 02:35 UTC.
Hint 3: E&E Bay Hatch Access▼
Execute EE_HATCH in the ACARS terminal. The hatch was opened at 02:35 UTC with crew keycard #2. Ordinary passengers have no access to that maintenance hatch.
Hint 4: Chiron-7 Thermal Requirements▼
Chiron-7 denatures and degrades above 0°C. The only compartment in the forward aircraft section with sub-zero dry-ice refrigeration (-78°C) is Beverage Trolley #3.
