Not down on any map
Welcome to a Halloween story with my police sims! It starts out with a murder case, and ends as… time travel? Or are things not as they seem? This chart shows the characters with their current life...

In the meantime Daniel lingers in the reception hall, chatting with Rika.
Suddenly Officer Tina Chen enters, carrying an unconscious body. When she puts him on the floor, a puddle quickly forms beneath the man. It’s way more water than his merely damp clothes should have contained.
Rika and Daniel turn around. Their eyes open wide and Rika’s jaw literally drops when she recognizes the latest victim as DPD Detective Chris Miller. Unlike the previous victims, however, Chris is still alive – he is the first to have survived the mysterious attacks.

“This is how I found Chris on our own parking lot just now. He was waiting for me in the car, listening to an audio book.”, Tina explains. “And now he just won’t stop dripping. He’s like a Decanter of Endless Water!”
“So I suppose that is definite proof that magic is involved”, Daniel muses.

“Yeah. An advanced caster’s work, too, one who has mastered Spectral Reach. Otherwise we’d spotted them approach.”
“Whatever they cast went right through the car window…?”
“Ha! That may have been the attacker’s mistake! They needed to see their victim to hex him, what leaves only a limited number of angles the spell could have traveled. I bet our android officers can calculate them all in a reasonable time, giving us a couple of spots to look at for further clues!”
Chris being a spellcaster himself may have given him the decisive edge. He lives, but doesn’t look like waking up anytime soon.

Rika informs the two Captains, that are sharing this post here at the DPD central station, that Chris has gotten attacked by the mysterious killer that still might turn out to have been Sigstein. The attack on Chris having occurred while the spellcaster was in a cell makes this unlikely, but one never knows. As long as the officers cannot rule out their enemy’s involvement with 100% certainty, they remain suspicious.
Daniel waits together with Tina for the duo’s arrival. After all, one is his husband and the other his erstwhile nemesis...

Connor kneels down next to Chris.
“Alright, let’s see...”
Connor misses having his adoptive father for his boss. Sharing responsibilities with Gavin isn’t always easy. However, there is one aspect in which the arrangement works in the android detective’s favor: To analyze evidence by means of his internal forensics lab, Connor has to imbibe it. Hank had been icked out by the very idea. Gavin finds it funny.

Except in this once case, where the stuff Connor is taste-testing might be the murder “weapon”. Therefore Gavin watches more concerned than amused tonight.

Spoiler
I need two level 10 detectives to prevent the game from assigning an npc to the post of Chief when I play either Connor or Gavin.
