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. No forced entry. 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.
