A dead engineer, a new android partner, and the only witness is the house.
Saltreach never stops raining, and you stopped caring a while ago. Now the Ninth has handed you a
punishment posting: a brand-new synthetic partner who takes every idiom literally and wants very badly to be good at
this.
Your first case together is a famous engineer dead at the bottom of his own staircase, with no forced entry and no
suspects. The only witness is the house itself, and it insists no one else was there. Work the scene, read the
people, and decide how far you'll trust a machine to tell the truth.
