The Anime Lad
In an orderly world, robots are understood to be unable to kill humans. Then a murder occurs. Gesicht, a robotic investigator for Europol, takes the case and finds no trace of a human at the scene. The contradiction deepens the mystery immediately, forcing the detective to pursue evidence that challenges a basic assumption of his society.
Super Eyepatch Fox
Begin with a murder in a world where robots cannot kill humans. Send Gesicht, a robot working as a Europol investigator, to the scene. Remove every trace of a human culprit. PLUTO starts its larger threat with one procedural problem: the evidence does not fit the rule everyone trusts.
Gigguku
A robot detective walks into a murder scene and cannot find any sign that a human was there. In a world built around the belief that robots cannot kill people, that absence is ENORMOUS. Gesicht has to treat the impossible as evidence before anyone has an explanation. That is such a strong, quiet way to open a science-fiction mystery.
Father's Basement
The description of an orderly world is broad, and the promised evil eventually becomes very large indeed. Gesicht's first problem is much better scaled. He has a body, a scene, and no human trace. The procedural contradiction makes the question of robot violence immediate without answering it before the investigation begins.
