You're able to follow the directions and get to Rowena's home. The lights inside are on, but as you ring the doorbell, you don't get a response, even after waiting for a few moments and ringing again.
Everyone please make a Perception check.

Jeff and Arc: The two of you see through the front window that something looks odd in the back. You circle round to investigate and see that there are two holes in the rear window where it looks like something melted through the glass. What's more, looking through this window gives you a better view of the interior of the house, where you can see a woman that you can presume to be Rowena, lying dead with two scorch marks on her back.

Dani peeks through the window, raising an eyebrow at the dead body. She shrugs. "Welp, may as well go in and see if she has anything useful." She starts climbing in the window, the helmet to her armor schwooping up to cover her face as her shock gloves starts crackling with precautionary electricity.
"They really were pretty 'sus' eh?" Jeff would finally blurt in agreement with Gin after having stared blankly at the scene with Arc for what felt like a whole day. It was Danny who finally piped up behind the two that 'shocked' him out of his space out. "Right! Yes. Of course!" The man would clear his throat, tug at his jacket and correct his special belt buckle. With his usual charming smile replacing the uncharacteristically void visage, he'd saunter on over to investigate with the Quatermastress. He'd assume Arcbot would spark up alongside Dani's static charge.
"Darling," The man would tsk as he'd go make his way over to inspect Rowena. Letting out a sigh to exaggerate melancholy, and assuming he doesn't get fried in the same manner, he'd do a sweep of the room prior to circling the body. He'd point out things that caught his eyes, obvious or not, to participate and see if it'd be of any help to Dani's investigation.
Jeff helps Arc(anyone) with a perception check prior to entering the space. Then he'd help Dani with her investigation.
Toni's brain is half melted from the conundrum as she groans, "Mysteries...are not my bag..." she follows long and will offer help to whoever needs it. (OOC: I LOVE MYSTERIES, TONI CANNOT COMPREHEND THEM)

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Arc would enter the room behind the the rest of the party, making the first check to look about the room. He had Jeff's help which was always appreciated.
Looking about the room, Arc is able to find a datapad with the names of several major pirate lords in the Diaspora, each with a large number next to their name, save for one, Arronax Endymion, who simply has a dash next to his name. At the bottom is typed in "Send to Corlan at Nalt Station"
Dani peeks over Arc's shoulder and writes down the location and names. "Looks like we've got another lead. I wonder how far away Nalt Station is..." She looks up Nalt Station.
Toni watches with pride as her crew handily finds another clue, her face scrunches up in consternation, "Um...Dani? Are we trying to find a spy? Because it seems like this dead person here was selling information to Diaspora Pirate captains....Which is the same as the the Callistria people we got the information from to find Jaymiss. I guess I'm not clear on why Rowena was bad? Also...what are these numbers?"

Gin pokes her head out from behind Jeff and Arc's shoulders upon the discovery of the body. "We find the imposter yet-- Ooh..." The normally enthusiastic lashunta droops at the sight before them now. "Well that's... Hm."
As the others flooded about and explored the house for clues, Gin rushes herself outside. A few minutes later she comes back in with a handful of freshly picked flowers and carefully sets them aside the body, keeping some in her other hand. After taking a step back, she gives the remaining flowers to the team, purposefully giving the last one to Dani. "Whatcha got for us, Dani."

Dani: You can't quite tell, but it your best guess is that this is a draft of how much certain pirate lords would need to paid. You're not sure what they'd need to be paid for though. Maybe this Corlan in Nalt Station can be of help?

Once done, Jeff would stand off to the side with his hands neatly held in front of him. His honeyed eyes would follow the others as they moved about. He watched with curiosity as Gin mulled about and left. When she’d return with flowers, a warm smile rested on his face. Jeff would bow his head in thanks, accepting the flower from the Lashunta, taking a gentle sniff of its scent.
Dani takes the flower, examining her datapad thoughtfully. "I think this log is for paying pirate captains, not selling to them. Which could be for information, useful stuff being passed along to the Empire." She types a few things into her datapad. "Could be something else, though. The numbers are definitely quantities of credits she handed over for whatever the merchandise is. Corlan probably knows more, provided he's not dead too. Guess we've got a trip to Nalt Station in our future." She keeps typing, plotting the route out on her datapad for when they get back to the ship.
You punch the coordinates to Nalt Station into the ship's navigation computer and and fly there. After a few days, you arrive at the station, which is about the size of a small city. In a city this large, it would take a fair bit of time and luck to find Corlan on your own, especially considering that you don't know what he looks like, but surely the other locals on the station know who he is and could be persuaded to give you some directions.
