The detective stares at the window, peering out at the arena on the other side. Not giving it much thought after, he turns back to the computer system. He looks through and clicks a random symbol, which activates a pop-up menu with a simple list

Looking through the options, Ryan put his hand on the orb, which was now glowing a faint pink. The orb controlled a cursor on the screen. Ryan thought for a moment before he scrolled over to the Security tab. He pressed down, and the screen turned black. The screen soon became filled with symbols and numbers.
'Really wish Firewall was here right now...' Ryan thought, a little irking at the technology in front of him.
Deciding to take another leap of faith, he presses the Enter key. In that moment, the jumbled-up numbers and symbols disappeared. Instead, another list of clear and distinct items is given.

H2

'Never mind, this seems too simple...'
And so forth, he clicks on the one reading S1. A camera feed popped up; it showed what looked like a very luxurious suite. There was a small wet bar in the back corner of the room, along with a large sofa in the middle. Judging by the sofa's direction, Ryan guessed it was to view the arena.
The detective exits out of the camera feed, now choosing the H2 option. It was another camera feed; this time, it was of a concrete hallway. Ryan notices Max is nearby, trying to open a door unsuccessfully.
The detective exits the hallway feed and the security section. He hovers over the Archives section, clicking on it. He stares at another list; however, it is the largest one yet.
10/9
10/4
9/27
9/22
It seemed to be a list of dates. Ryan uses the orb and clicks on the most recent one, being 10/9. When he does, a few lists pop up around the screen.

Ryan clicked on the feeds tab, which brought him a list similar to the one before, with the different camera locations. He clicks on a tab that reads S4. When he does, another camera feed pops up, this time it was a recording. At first, nothing was happening, and Ryan thought the video paused, but then, the door opened. In came a duo of men wearing suits, they carried cleaning equipment. One of them plugged a vacuum and began cleaning the carpeted area, the other cleaned the wet bar in the corner.
The detective pressed down on the orb, pausing the video. He noticed that he could go further in the recording, so he rotated the orb, fast-forwarding the video until around the halfway point, about two hours after the recording started. When he got there, he resumed the video back to normal speed. What Ryan saw then nearly made his eyes widen.
